The positive if Sunggyu loses is I probably won't be in the Death Match, which is a horrible thing to think

If that was her intention, I think Kyungran just made a genius move to send Ahyoung to the death match

[Eunji]

That was another really cool challenge! That is one of my favourite from the show but I didn't think it could work here if we had to keep going around the circle with everyone throwing in one chip at a time, but I think you managed to replicate it as close as practical. So stoked to be in the F5! And it feels good to actually get a decent result in the main match for once. Seems like so long ago now that I could have been eliminated at 8th.

Really hoping Sunggyu can pull this off here. He is a good friend but also a good ally and one less person who would pick me for a DM.

To be fair, it was almost an entire month ago that you were declared to be in that Death Match 20th April.

And I'm glad it worked out too still a little long but it worked. Might've been a better one to start earlier or perhaps split into two events even. That's something I'll consider doing next game is splitting some games in half where appropriate.

Congrats on making F5!

This is the first Death Match for either Ahyoung or Sunggyu, do you think either will be stronger in this Death Match or is it up in the air?

What do you make of Kyungran selecting Hongchul to receive a Token of Life?

Who would you feel most comfortable going up against in the Final Death Match?

[Eunji]

Haha fair point! This game has been going forever but it doesn't really feel like it. I can't believe it started in February!

Kyungran selecting Hongchul was interesting. With the PM time we had after the Juror game I was finally able to work my ~social game~ and I made it clear I thought Ahyoung with her connections was the biggest threat left in the game. I am wondering if she knew that picking Hongchul would make Ahyoung the next logical pick in Sunggyu's mind Very well played if that is true. I was also talking to Jinho who told me some things that happened in previous rounds, such as the evil bastards shutting Yuram out of the group during Sword and Shield and that Ahyoung asked him for the Token of Life after he won Horror Race. I then dropped these nuggets of info to Ahyoung who seems highly offended he would say these things, and then I told Jinho of her reaction and he seems offended by that. I really don't even think it's a big deal but if it creates some sort of rift that wasn't there before then mission accomplished

I don't know who is advantaged by this death match but I'm hoping Sunggyu will pull it off. I'm going to send him some strategy tips of a game called Khet which I think is the same thing or at least very similar.

I think Jinho or Ahyoung would be tough to beat at the end since they have a lot of friends, while Hongchul probably had less? If I was with Sunggyu we'd probably split the advantages but really I will feel comfortable against anyone and I'll be just stoked to be there!

I'm tipping this to be the challenge where past contestants come back to participate

We'll see what happens in the DM but it's a fair thing to say that I'll be rooting for Sunggyu even if I did promise her I'd try to help her if I can.
