Cute Esports Drama

This is the first battle royale esports drama that I've seen.

I tried Fortnite for 10 secs so I don't really understand the game and can't vouch for its accuracy. However, it shows that this drama can appeal to non-gamer fans. I think one thing that the drama does well is actually showing the battles - with live action. It makes it fun to see the gamers pick up weapons (lol the cooking pan was really funny). It keeps the viewers engaged. It's not high budget but that doesn't stop it from being fun.

Another thing that felt different for me was the protagonist at the start of the drama, is on a decline. In the previous esports drama that I've seen, the protagonist is just on a break for some reason, but this protagonist is actually on a decline.

There's a bit of bromance and cute fluffy romance. I think for me the draw is the ML. His smirk, arrogance and insecurities were fun to watch. He is arrogant but he's not mean.

There are things that I found really unrealistic - uh the two black holes in the team. lol. How can there be a professional team with such lack of experience/talent? I don't think a team can function when they have to only rely on 2/4 members to fight against pros, no matter how good the other two are...

The drama lagged a bit for me between ep. 12-19. The ending tied all loose ends, a bit too neatly (lol I felt that the time skip should be 5 years, not 1 at the pace of the change).

All in all, it was fun, but I don't think it was too memorable, but it wasn't a waste of time - I actually finished this drama.
