Blurb: A worthy expansion for an entertaining universe. My review for The King's Avatar Season-1 says most of what I want to say about the show as a whole. It's essence, why I enjoyed it and why I'll continue to watch it. Those views remain unchanged and I see little point in reiterating them there. So, I'll just stick to what I further enjoyed from Season-2, and in a word it was the 'leveling-up' of the plot and the side-characters. Ye Xiu's story is more than just a rise-after-a-fall narrative. In essence, it tackles the big question that players in E-Sports face today. Thatquestion being: "Do you play for the money? or do you play for the game?". Given the stature and popularity of E-Sports today, it's hard to imagine that during the early days, E-sports were generally regarded as the provenance of maladjusted, awkward, and reclusive individuals who found more meaning and solace in 2D Pixels than they did in real-life. Today, they are (or have to be) very open, outgoing, and as a necessity possess a charisma by which they can attract more fans and more importantly, more sponsors.

The character of Ye Xiu is for all intents and purposes the embodiment of ' the old-days'. When players played from a place of passion and not from a place of commerce, and it this this thematic exploration coupled with a few hilarious character introductions that have made viewing The King's Avatar an ongoing pleasure.
