Thanks for finding and playing Sunggyu’s music. You can hear that he is talented in any language!

I think Sangmin's 'genius' lies in his social adeptness, which often sets him up to do well in main matches. A straight-up memory game doesn't play to his skill set and strengths

i think an interesting dichotomy that this episode shows, is the difference in the beginning and the endgame of a season of the genius. I felt Sangmin and Kyungran were 2 of the best main match players along with Sunggyu this season. But towards the end of the season there becomes nowhere to hide and you'll need to play in a death match eventually. And typically the social political skills that come in handy towards the beginning main matches, aren't an important skill in most death matches. That allows a strong individual player like Jinho to win some key death matches and make it to the final, while Sunggyu and Sangmin aren't able to make it I also loved the dealer cracking up with Sangmin, I find it so funny when the dealer can't keep it in. I remember it happening more often in future seasons. Love these reactions Taran!
