Additional Info.

​Royal Roader refers to someone who takes the royal road or shortcut, and in the context of e-sports, it describes a rookie player who wins their first tournament. This concept ties into the drama, where the main characters seek a 'shortcut' to success in their lives and attempt to change their futures by seizing a single opportunity.​
