Gamer series with a lot of drama/friendship

I do enjoy this drama it is a mix of 50% drama/friendship 40% gaming/strategies and 10% romance. The romance is boy/girl relationship not boy love, there is a lot of bromance as in brotherly friendship for those who misunderstands. This drama is focused on the hardship of building/training a esport team and the friendship that is involved during this process. Which is what we go through in everyday life, there are always happy moments, falloff and betrayal of friendship at some point, quite realistic in our daily life. Also the struggles and commitment that is involved in accomplishing goals. There are quite some emotional scenes in the drama as the characters figure out their identity, or strive to become a better person. Leo Wu is a very good actor and Luhan has improved since his last two dramas, but considering he is more of a singer, i cut him some slacks on his acting.

It is quite unique that the actors are acting in the game but what I don't like about the drama is some of the gaming/reality scenes is quite confusing. e.g. the romantic scenes with Su Jia Yi and Gao Bo Song? Are they visualizing stuff in their head when it happens in the game? Or when Xiao Bei saw Xu Wei in the game?

Compared to other Esports drama, my husband do prefer Kings Avatar "Anime." He is a hardcore gamer and doesn't care too much for "dramas." I tried watching Kings Avatar Live action but its too much gaming for me I do prefer something that has more drama like this one. L020 has 70% romance if theres anyone whos looking for more of these type of drama to watch.
