can anyone explain because as fat as i remember in s1 it was a different game and in thi k&k plays different game…
The actual game is Counter-Strike, but that's violent and not allowed for GGS1, so they came up with some nonsense, and here it's slightly better/worse different stuff. But at least this one makes sense as an 'eSport', while GGS1's made no logical sense whatsoever. Unfortunately though the GGS2 robots are far from a team sport, I wish it was at least 2v2 and not 1v1.
Do I have to watch season 1 if I want to watch it?
I would say watch both, this is sort of an alternate universe version of the story but skips over a lot(!) of events that you are supposed to be familiar with from GGS1.
if you like GGS2, don’t watch GGS1 because the writers totally screw up all the core characters from season…
For an easy example, in GGS1 EP41 from 38:50 to 39:00, 40:09 to 40:20, 40:43 to 41:09: DT and Appledog are very much paired up as a potential future couple.

Like most esports shows, neither uses the actual esport from the novels. In 'Gank Your Heart', they have their own poorly-animated MOBA game made for the show. In 'Falling Into Your Smile', they play Onmyoji Arena instead of League of Legends. In 'Love Scenery'... it's too ridiculous to explain in one sentence.
Go Go Squid! is about Counter-Strike, and since that's violent and not allowed, GGS1 has nonsensical "cybersecurity talents of China improving the Chinese cybersecurity industry!" crap.
"Also the characters DT and Appledog act like total strangers when they share screen time together, not like boyfriend and girlfriend or lovers in GGS1." In GGS1, it is clearly(!) established that they have a special relationship and that DT adores Appledog above anyone else.
The story completely different from orginal source or the parent drama. It's the one of the main negative in the…
The actual story planned for GGS1 is about Counter-Strike the video game.
The first series has a tiny bit of CS incorporated, hugely wasted potential there because of how nicely they designed a iconic scene from the game, but the cybersecurity competition is absurd trash (makes no sense at all) and the "competition" scenes for it are just bad. Robot combat is a big improvement because it actually has some competitive validity, but the big flaw is that it's essentially 90% a one versus one competition instead of a five versus five team game.
In both shows people who have no use for athletic abilities train their bodies rigorously.
I liked it, but would like it even more if someone cut off all those retrospections. All we needed were the talks…
Most of the time the actors also start over-acting needlessly in those unnecessary 10 years earlier clips. (Later episodes also keep repeating those sequences to the point that it's truly frustrating.)
I fail to understand what makes so many people find this drama so good. It's a pretty mediocre romcom with nothing…
It was also changed from a CSGO esports drama to "patriotic hacking to promote cybersecurity job development" nonsense sort of at the last minute. If you judge it based on that, it's sure the weakest gaming drama I've seen.
"China will go to Mars!" is kind of mandatory in any show at least of this genre. You probably can't release a show without a lengthy segment dedicated to CN reaching newfound heights.

Compared to how often lying is a core plot element in dramas, this one is quite tame.
(I agree regarding how long it is and how little happens in all that time.)
(Later episodes also keep repeating those sequences to the point that it's truly frustrating.)
Watching it as a gaming/esports/competition drama is a piss-poor idea as well.
