Also was the kid in the car with his dad of relevance? I understood if it was just an opener of the dramas, but I didnt understand why they showed them again when they shared watermelons in the bus? Did they mean something by showing the kid and his dad again?

Can someone explain what the dreams meant that Xiao He Yun was stuck in? The one with the busses on plates? And the one where he was cuffed in the bus?

Personal preference I guess.

I liked how much more "comedic" this one is and how flooff the guy was instead of the usual stone faced male leads in e-sports cdramas. Lu Si Cheng was def stone faced but he had his quirks that let you know he was only all bark no bite before his 180* change (like eating candies, always giving his glares, his blown away faces etc etc). Tong Yao x Lu Si Cheng felt natural and not one sided to me what I mostly feel like in e-sports dramas. Also Lao K was so so soo funny, he knew about everything and all the hints he dropped was so fire. Lao Mao never getting it was so funny too and his love for sports that was magnified everytime lol (him kissing his dumbbells XD). Xiao Pang was always so cute and Lue Yue getting hit by Lu Si Cheng shoes always got me. Lu Yue was such a fun character, I loved Lu Yue so much.

All in all, I liked how very fluff the series was, how funny the teammates were, the setting, the opponents, even the ex-boyfriend. It was just my cup of tea, and more my taste than other e-sports cdramas^^

I don't think so, is there anything you need help with? I think I pretty much know all contestants (at least in coaches team) from season 3 & 4, so if u have questions :3

It was to be expected tho.
Yibo is quite close with both Xiao Hai & Tu Zhi. He also mentioned they both helped him a lot in previous season, so I can see how he was unwilling to part with them so early.
I dont need to say how close he is with Bouboo & Yang Kai because we all know.
HB is his "hidden card" I think, or well he would like to think so.
He needs Momo, I think it finally got through him that a choreographer is needed for now.
And Yibo is also very close with Ye Yin, he also expressed that Ye Yin was in an amazing state and he was very satisfied with Ye Yin.

That leaves one man, Liang Liang. Yibo doesn't seem as close with Liang Liang and he knew Liang Liang might not choose him in return, he liked his style so he picked him in that 4 selection episode. He was sure Yang Kai & Xiao Hai were his, so he didnt choose them.

Can anyone explain why Wen Ju An never met Yichen at night when he was in Beijing? Was there a reason for her behavior?

The semifinals results is going to make your day better then

Henry: San'er, Rochka, Chunlin (all 3 advances)
Yixing: GOGO, Poppin C, Huang Xiao, Qiao Zhi (5 total, MTPOP eliminated)
Yibo: HB, Yang Kai, Ye Yin, BouBoo (5 total, Momo eliminated)
Henry: Eleven & Ibuki (2 total, Acky, AC, Ma Xiaolong, Xiao Jie, Stone eliminated)

These 15 are the finalists from the rumors

Thank you for the answering my question!

I feel like they really toned down the whole family and they really only focused on Shi Yi's and ZSC relationship if I read your replies. It feels like there was so much more going on but the series never elaborated much. I am going to give the novel a read, thank u so much for answering all my questions!

Thank u so much for the reply!!

Thank u so much for your reply! I really appreciated the help!!
I already finished watching it so thats why I have a ton of questions even after XDD

First of all, thank you so much for answering my questions! I really appreciated the help!
Second, Time for me to give the novel a read, I have been ignoring it well over 2 years now. Ren mum was a spy, that's...wow.
Can I ask why the whole police was investigating the family? I only understood that Wenchuang did something wrong, but I didn't really get Du Fei's sudden involvement of their family. Was there something bigger behind the scenes besides Wenchuang using money to cover up his business wrongdoings?
Also was there any elaborations to why Wenchuang and Wenxing fought?

But if the 2nd uncle took over the house, why was Qin Wan still in charge of the house? Or were they in charge together? Is there a reason why Qin Wan adopted Ren?

So here are my questionsXD
1. In the series when they discussed about Ren's mom, they mentioned "The 4th uncle" if I remember correctly. This 4th uncle never returned to the house due to a fight? From what i remember and I actually thought the 4th uncle was Ren's dad. Who is this 4th uncle or am I imagining stuff?
2. They said Ren had a special identity when Wenxing died, but what was special about Ren?
3. Ren said he was his dad's only son, but then it kinda was implied the 2nd? uncle was Ren's dad? And that the 2nd uncle has also fathered Wenxing and Wenchuan? Because when Wenxing died, an old man told Wenchuang that his 2nd uncle was looking for him and then in the ancestral home Wenchuang called this 2nd uncle "Dad"? He also said Ren was not his only son?
4. Was there any elaborations about the relation between Qin Wan, 1st uncle(her husband?) and 2nd uncle? I genuinely thought that he man with Qin Wan was Zhousheng Chen's dad the whole time but it didn't add up when Shi Yi said "Zhousheng Chen lost all his relatives". Did Qin Wan later married the 2nd uncle? But she is the head of the house, so she didnt marry the 2nd uncle right? But how can she adopt Ren as son? Who is Ren's dad in the end????? 2nd or 4th uncle?
5. The granny told that she shouldn't have separated Qin Wan and the 2nd uncle, and forced her to marry the head of the house which was Zhousheng Chen's father. Then Zhoucheng Chen told Shi Yi that Qin Wan was only married by name but that he knew that Wenxing and Wenchuan wasn't his dad's children?

I am genuinely lost, request for help needed sincerely.

If anyone is willing to tell me more about the family situation, and answer some of my question I would greatly appreciate it<3. I will post the questions in a reply as spoiler.
Can anyone also perhaps tell me if its recommended to read the novel to understand the family connections better, or if it's as vague in the novel?

Thank you! So they never clarified what happened in the end after she was in a coma for the series right?

Can anyone explain to me what happened to the pregnant Tang lady in the beginning? The one that got pushed by Tong Jiaren. I dont think I ever skipped a scene but I never found out what happened to her in the end.

Probs due to his scandal

"Rumors" where that both Zyko and Nelson "Retired?" But last year there were several rumors too that Xiao Jie retired due to health issues, which didnt turn out to be the case. So Im very skeptical about "Quitting" rumors. I have no clue if they will do the same throwing towels thing this year, but I can dig some more for you tonight and reply later about that:D

I believe the recording on the 29th should be the semifinal, but might be wrong

I pretty much stalk the douban page whenever I can. Loads of info can be found after a recording. The next recording should be at the end of this month.
