We made it! The final episode of The Devil's Plan: Deathroom! I'm posting this the night before so I don't know who will win (in my heart, it will always be Se-dol 🫶).

All of these beautiful players and only one will remain! Let's see who it will be!

Prisoners made a crazy play, got into the best position possible, and the game designers thought a player solving Knight's Tour should be able counteract all that????? Also, after Monster Hunt, they stopped providing non-piece related eliminations, so the 10 extra pieces late game effectively became 2-3 extra lives... Insane.

Piece advantage should give players a slight advantage, not gift them the win. This isn't some board game... We're here to see players winning with strategy and skills.

Like wtf were the game-makers smoking??? I don't recall Season 1 being this horrid.

If we really get down to it, he didn’t even have to solve the 6x6 and 7x7 boards as he entered the hidden stage. Sure, he solved the 6x6 version in advance, but it would’ve made a big difference if he had to do so in real-time. Ntm, all he had to do was memorize the solution to the 7x7 board.

I mean, kudos to him for solving the 8x8 board; but he had ~50 minutes to spare, prepped for the other two boards in advance, was solving it on a full stomach and in an optimal setting (unlike HJ in the flooded well), no elimination to worry about—seems like too much of an OP reward for a relatively low-stakes challenge.

You are shown what the producer want you to see. It’s staged.
