players were really determined to win

i must be the only one who enjoyed this season....First of all, in this season the main thing i noticed was the skill level among the players was quite evenly distributed. Every player was ambitious to win and they all had their moments to shine. Like in every team game there were leaders trying to control but it didnt feel like everyone was just following them cause sometimes even within the team they betrayed each other. So this was something I liked.

I dont really get the "unfair" argument. the piece battle only came towards the end. Before that all the main matches were just based on strategy (like who solves it the fastest). I would say the only issue was because the pieces was the only way to move up to the dorms it was hard for prison ppl to make a complete change unless they become first.

but thats just how the game was set up, in the end the strategies to win and stuff was still quite good. Much better than season 1 where alot of players didnt really have much motivation. Cause in this season even the prison players were so good the prison matches were equally interesting to watch.

the hate for hyungyu is so unnecessary, like this is a survival game not a show to make friends lol... he used all his opportunities to his advantage. There were ppl who wanted to make him win tbh this portion is something i didnt expect them to outright say it...but i guess that is their decision

The prison team like finally decided to colab with dorm members and when it was going smoothly they are the ones who decided to betray them so in the perspective of dorm members their objectives just didnt align anymore

The prison team had really strong members Harin, Justin, Eunyu. with Justin he was really strong at individual matches which caused him to fail during main match. Eunyu and Harin are really good they should have tried to make the dorm team an ally earlier...

7High...idk to me he felt really egoistic. Never share plan with someone then when they dont do what he wanted suddenly say he got betrayed. Then throw the entire burden of eliminating someone onto someone else keeping his hands clean. Kept telling the team he was ready to be eliminated but last min suddenly pulled out to survive...like?

I watched all 12 episodes together and for me I enjoyed watching the gameplay by Hyungyu and Eunyu. I was amazed at how Eunyu was so calm and her ideas were really good. With Hyungyu initially i thought he would just play as a smart solver at the side but he really took control in the shadows and used every opportunity for his benefit. He was really well suited for "Devils Plan". One more player was Justin, he was also a strong player but tbh he was isolated in the prison (esp when they stole his idea) I feel like he could have done much better if the arrangement was different.

overall I liked it :)
