    说起最近最火的游戏类型,“吃鸡”应该就是最佳答案了。所谓“吃鸡”游戏,指的是大逃杀类的FPS/TPS游戏,PC上的《绝地求生:大逃杀》把这类游戏的热度推向了顶峰。在《绝地求生:大逃杀》中,玩家们会空降到一个孤岛上,拾取武器来和其他玩家相互残杀,还需要跑步或者利用载具来逃离危险区域,最后生还的一人或者一队,就能获胜,游戏也会弹出“大吉大利,今晚吃鸡”的恭贺语句。

    This is what I found~ it is like the hunger games I believe hehe~

    From that article that was quoted, it's a kind of popular mobile game (手游), so they're saying that he started a channel to stream him playing a kind of game like Fortnite, where a bunch of people get dropped on an island and have to collect weapons for a battle royale style of FPS or TPS.

    The phrase of "eating chicken" comes from people congratulating each other on teams after winning a battle, literally saying "Very lucky, we get to eat chicken tonight to celebrate!"

    吃鸡 = eat chicken/PUBG
    手游 = mobile game

    the line is referring specifically to PUBG mobile

    it's because when you win, PUBG says winner winner chicken dinner

    so china people started saying for example "tonight i bring you eat chicken dinner" which means i carry you in pubg

    and 吃鸡 later became PUBG

    learning chinese isn't enough to translate novels anymore because of all the slang china uses. not to mention that each region have their own slang so it's getting harder for other people to integrate well. also alot of things like "face" just cannot be understood by other people.

    while the video about face made by deathwhatever is good, it is also inaccurate.

    one huge misunderstanding that alot of people have is "mei zi"

    +1, from the information given, I would also conclude it's Player Unknown - Mobile.
