NannyOgg: very helpful, thank you
NannyOgg: i had tried that already ^^
lanke: 对 = facing/opposing
lanke: it can also mean correct
lanke: 局 = game
NannyOgg: oh, that's the collections of two players against each other!
lanke: 对局 just means "games" actually
lanke: series of games between two players
lanke: basically its just a collection of all the games played by two particular players I believe
NannyOgg: ok, makes sense
NannyOgg: So what about the victory bureau series? 胜局系列
lanke: bureau is an inappropriate translation of games
lanke: collections of victories
