(The last morning of Bloody Game 2)
- Is it raining? - Yes.
The noise is on another level.
(Stumbling)
I got off to a rocky start.
I started in the wild,
and I was worried at the time that I might go home...
after suffering the whole time.
I was worried about that.
Now that I'm in the semifinals,
my sole purpose is to win the championship,
and I'm ready to fight everyone.
Are you mentally prepared?
- Did you sleep well? - I did.
It's been ages since I felt how hard it was to wake up in the morning.
I'm jealous.
I can't be sure whether I woke up while thinking or in sleep.
What were you thinking about?
"Can I be the champion? What if I don't?"
"What will I do with the prize money?"
I didn't want to think about those at all.
But I guess that led to a dream...
because I had the weirdest dream.
(Tossing and turning)
(Xitsuh couldn't fall asleep for a very long time.)
I noticed that my body and mind...
were crumbling while I was here.
I should try to stay in shape.
I'm going to the finals.
I must. And I will.
Oh, my. Thanks for the food.
Enjoy your meal.
(There's silence between the two.)
Jin Ho, Xitsuh, and Dex.
I don't care about them anymore.
My strength and strategy were...
uniting the alliance members and having them work together.
I advanced to the semifinals using those.
(Struggling)
Is that a set?
They look similar.
I never got to wear them after I hurt my ankle.
This was the only one I never got to wear.
This is what I wore the first day.
For the Order of Arrival Game.
I wanted to finish it with my original mindset.
I was injured...
earlier in the game,
and I was a bit discouraged.
I had to walk on crutches,
and it was hard for me to move.
I doubted that I could last long in the game,
and I managed to stay in the top five.
There will be one winner remaining today,
and I want to be that winner.
I want to bring back the tension that I felt...
on the first day when we took our blindfolds off.
I plan to do my best until I win the championship.
So, I decided to wear the same clothes from day one.
All players, please gather in the main hall.
I bet it'll feel strange when I wake up looking at a different ceiling.
It'll feel empty.
Today is the day of the semifinals.
The five players who advanced to the semifinals...
will have an individual match.
Depending on the result of today's game, four of you...
will advance to the finals.
The loser of the day will be eliminated from the game.
The final match will be held in 1-on-1 tournaments.
The winner of the semifinals gets the benefit of choosing...
the game of Round One of the finals and their opponent.
I thought it was a fun benefit.
I wanted to win...
to play the game at an advantage.
If I were to play against Jin Ho, I hope it's in the finals.
Then, I want him to place second.
I'd like to avoid Jin Hyeong as well.
He won two Deathmatches,
and he seemed pretty good at 1-to-1 competitions.
I'd probably choose Hyun Ji.
I didn't mind it that much.
I wouldn't have to worry if I got lucky enough.
To survive,
I'd perhaps pick Hyun Ji and compete against her.
For your information, no funds are transferrable today.
(Current Individual Funds: Xitsuh 60,000, Jin Ho 40,000,)
(Hyun Ji 40,000, Dex 20,000, and Jin Hyeong 10,000 dollars)
Now, we will announce the game of the semifinals.
The game?
The game of the semifinals is...
Number Auction.
(This game was motivated by "High Society" created by Reiner Knizia.)
Number Auction will be played individually by five players.
Each player will bid for a number,
and the player with the highest score wins.
Before the game, each player...
draws a number between 1 and 5 to decide on the order.
Each player will be given eleven blocks...
with the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, and 25.
The blocks will be your funds for the auction.
The card up for bid are 10 sale cards, 3 good cards, and 3 bad cards.
There are 16 cards in total.
The sale cards have numbers from 1 to 10.
Once you win a sale card,
you'll win as many points as the numbers on your cards.
There are special cards in Number Auction.
They are good cards and bad cards.
The players who win these cards...
will earn points based on the cards.
Good cards double your points...
after the game is over.
There are three types of bad cards. The minus-five card,
the half card, and the return card.
The minus-five card deducts five points from your total.
The half card halves your total score.
(Half Card)
If you get the return card,
you must hand in a card, excluding the special cards.
(Return Card)
Once the game begins, a player has two options.
One, bid.
You can bid one or more number block on the sale card.
Two, pass.
You can pass on your turn without bidding.
When you do, you may withdraw the number block you submitted,
but you cannot participate in the current bidding again.
The bad card goes to the player that passes first.
(Bid)
(Pass)
(Winning the half card)
Excluding the player who won the bad card,
the number blocks that the rest of the players bid will be gone.
After the game, your sale cards will be added,
and the player with the lowest score is eliminated.
The player with the highest score wins the game.
But the player who has the lowest total of number blocks...
cannot be the winner.
During the game, one player will be given one chance...
to buy the number 11 block for 10,000 dollars.
The player who won the previous bid...
will bid first in the next one.
When the three good cards and the half card are auctioned off,
the game ends.
(Three good cards and the half card)
I realized that it was definitely individual.
I enjoy games that include betting.
I thought I stood a chance.
I was certain that I wouldn't place last.
I've played games that required bidding,
and I was confident that I'd win.
I came all the way here, so I naturally want to win.
I plan to win.
I thought about winning.
Number Auction will begin now.
The order will be decided first.
Jin Hyeong, please pick one.
I'll choose the second one from your right.
- Jin Hyeong, you will go fifth. - Good for you.
I'll choose the second one from your left.
Dex, you will go fourth.
I'll choose the first one from my left.
Jin Ho, you will go third.
I'll choose the first one from your left.
You will go first.
Xitsuh, you will go second.
(Order: Hyun Ji, Xitsuh, Jin Ho, Dex, and Jin Hyeong)
The sale card will be revealed.
(Revealing the first sale card)
It's six.
Hyun Ji has bid one.
Xitsuh has bid 15.
Jin Ho has bid 20.
Dex has bid 22.
Jin Hyeong has bid 25.
Hyun Ji has bid 1 and 25, a total of 26.
I'll pass.
Xitsuh has passed.
(Xitsuh passes.)
Whichever card I win...
One of the bad cards is the return card, right?
I was determined...
not to bid for anything before I saw that.
It'd be meaningless if I had to return a card...
that cost me a huge amount because of that one bad card.
Xitsuh has passed.
Jin Ho has bid 27.
The game doesn't end when all the cards are up for bid.
It ends once certain cards are up for bid.
There are numbers 1 to 10.
So, it goes 10, 9, 8, 7, and 6.
Six is the fifth highest number.
And there's no guarantee that all the numbers higher than six...
will be shown when the game ends.
In that regard, I thought six was a pretty large number.
I'll pass.
Twenty-seven.
Do you want it?
I'll accept whatever the result is.
It's still cheap.
Jin Hyeong has bid 31.
I'll pass.
(Hyun Ji passes.)
That's the highest it gets.
Twenty-seven.
(Contemplating)
I thought the number was too low...
for Jin Hyeong to just take it.
Jin Ho...
has bid 33.
So, I decided to bid more for it.
Pass.
Jin Ho has won sale card number six.
There are basically two strategies in this game.
Doubling your score with one of the good cards.
Or going after big numbers without any good cards...
to get a high score.
You can't use both.
I intend on observing...
the numbers at first, figure out what I can win,
and decide on one of the two strategies.
(Jin Ho won sale card number six.)
Let's go.
I will reveal the sale card.
(The second sale card)
One of the bad cards, minus-five card.
The minus-five card is the one that I want to avoid the most.
I'm not that afraid of the half card.
Because it evens out when I get the double card.
But the minus-five card lowers the absolute value,
so it gets complicated.
It's a bad card.
It's Jin Ho's turn.
(Number Auction Rule)
(The highest bidder starts the next round.)
Jin Ho has bid ten.
Dex has bid 12.
Don't raise it too high, guys.
- Are you going to take it? - No.
Jin Hyeong has bid 15.
Hyun Ji has bid 16.
Xitsuh has bid 20.
(Xitsuh has bid 20.)
Jin Ho has bid a total of 22.
Twenty-two.
Dex has bid 23.
Twenty-three. That's a huge loss.
It hurts.
It hurts bad.
But I can't take it.
I think it's gone bad.
Why are you ripping me off?
- What? - You should have taken it.
We're all going down.
It's bad that I'm losing all these numbers.
(The players who don't win the bad card lose all the number blocks.)
- Just because we're losing it... - Right.
And it's still bad.
Once you have the minus-five card,
it's hard to overcome it once you win a number...
higher than five.
There's also the return card,
so you need at least two cards...
that are higher than five.
That's the only way to feel safe.
I tried to avoid the minus-five card as hard as I could.
Hyun Ji, will you take it or not?
That's a secret.
- Secret. - Take it.
Jin Hyeong...
- That's huge. - has bid 25.
I'll pass.
Hyun Ji has passed.
Why?
The losers of the bid lose all their number blocks...
when they don't get the bad card.
I didn't think it was too bad to take the card...
while making them waste their funds.
Because I can keep mine.
I can make up for it when there's a large number later.
You have won one of the bad cards, the minus-five card.
Except for Hyun Ji's, the number blocks will all be gone.
(The players who don't win the bad card lose all the number blocks.)
(Current Sale Cards: Jin Ho 6, Hyun Ji negative 5)
I'll reveal the next sale card.
(The third sale card)
It's number eight.
- That's good. - Okay.
I want that.
Can we split it?
I want it.
Hyun Ji has bid one.
That's a giveaway.
Xitsuh has bid 15.
Here goes a nuclear bomb.
Jin Ho has bid 25.
Shoot.
Come on now.
You're broke.
I am.
But I won't place last if I win that.
Dex...
has bid 26.
Follow my lead, guys.
I'm going all the way.
Jin Hyeong has bid 28.
Twenty-eight?
Okay.
Hyun Ji has bid 30.
There are numbers from 1 to 10,
and I have my funds, right?
I calculated the average,
and I realized that spending 4 for 1 point was...
the fair price.
If it goes way past that,
I'll stop bidding.
Xitsuh has bid 32.
Jin Ho has bid 33.
I thought that staying away from last place was crucial.
When I saw the number eight,
I was determined to win it.
Dex has bid 34.
That's too expensive.
It is.
It's a rip-off.
Jin Hyeong has bid 35.
I'll pass.
Pass.
(Hyun Ji and Xitsuh pass.)
Why am I left with so little?
(Jin Ho's remaining blocks)
What happened?
I'll pass.
Dex has bid 36.
Thirty-six?
- That's too much. - It is too much.
I feel like this is the limit.
I just thought that number eight was necessary.
Jin Hyeong, I'm going to win it no matter what. Keep that in mind.
Seriously? Can I go all in, then?
- Go ahead. - Then, will you do the same?
Yes.
Thirty-six.
Let's do it.
It's not a bad number.
(Contemplating)
Pass.
It worked!
- Jin Hyeong has passed. - He wants it.
- Thanks. - Dex...
has won sale card number eight.
Thanks.
(Current Sale Cards: Dex 8, Jin Ho 6, Hyun Ji negative 5)
Here's the next sale card.
This is tough.
It's a good card.
A good card.
(Double the total)
I want it. Let me have it!
- That looks delicious. - Let me have it!
- Let's get it. - It's Dex's turn.
Okay. Here it goes.
You have zero shame, don't you?
I've become poor.
- You're poor now? - Yes.
(Dex's funds)
Sorry.
You can't take it for four.
Jin Hyeong, let's drive out the poor ones...
and play in the big leagues.
I second that.
Why are there flies in the auction house?
That's harsh.
Let's play among ourselves.
Four.
Hyun Ji has a lot. Xitsuh also has a lot.
He's calculating the chances.
Why are you glaring?
Stop glaring at my kids.
Jin Hyeong has bid 20.
Hyun Ji has bid 21.
Xitsuh has bid 25.
Jin Ho has bid 26.
Twenty-six?
Dex has bid 29.
Here we go.
Jin Hyeong has bid 32.
Hold on.
Hyun Ji...
has bid 33.
Pass.
Jin Ho has bid 34.
Pass.
(Dex passes.)
Jin Hyeong has bid 35.
- Good. - Hyun Ji...
- has bid 37. - Shoot.
I'll pass.
You'll be down to negative ten when you get it, though.
No, they sum up the cards first.
I know.
You must be certain that you can win more numbers.
Why are you glaring? You're scaring me.
I was just looking.
I wasn't looking at you. I was looking at the one next to you.
You were just in her way.
- You have to get out of the way. - I'll crouch.
I looked up, and you were just there.
Hyun Ji is a gambler.
I knew that I had to win it.
Even if it meant going all in for number ten,
I was planning on getting at least ten points...
after that round.
I'll pass.
Hyun Ji has won a good card.
Here's the next sale card.
Sale card number two.
It's my number.
Hyun Ji has bid two.
You've bid six.
Two?
That's my number, though.
Jin Ho has bid eight.
I'll get a loan.
(One player can buy the number 11 block for 10,000 dollars...)
(only once during the game.)
You've bought the number 11 block for 10,000 dollars.
You're spending 10,000 dollars?
Of course. We're playing a game.
- Gosh. - It's a must.
I'll pass.
Why did you buy it, then?
Are you insane?
You've bid 12.
Pass.
Xitsuh has passed.
Pass.
Jin Hyeong has won sale card number two.
Here's the next sale card.
It's a good card.
Shoot.
You've bid 25.
I'll raise the bar, so you'll spend more blocks.
You've bid 27.
I'm a little timid, so...
Gosh.
I didn't raise it too high.
You've bid 29.
I'll pass.
- Take it! - Dex...
- has bid 36. - Follow me.
You must be dying to win the game.
If Dex wins a good card and an eight card,
he's highly likely to win the game.
Jin Hyeong has bid 37.
I'll pass.
How would I beat that?
(Thinking)
Pass.
Jin Hyeong has won a good card.
(Current Sale Cards: Dex 8, Jin Ho 6, Jin Hyeong 4, Hyun Ji negative 10)
Here's the next sale card.
(The seventh sale card)
- Ten. - Goodness.
That's huge.
(Is he going all in?)
What are those?
- What was that just now? - He's...
- ready to go all in. - What was that?
- I was thinking. - You scared me.
He's funny.
You startled me.
Jin Hyeong will have to go all in.
Then, I'd win.
Mark my words. I'm going to bet 40.
- I'll go small. - Small.
Jin Hyeong has bid one.
There are so many broke players.
Hyun Ji has bid 25.
I told you that I'd bid 40.
That's my number right now.
I am holding it.
Okay. Then, I'm bidding 43.
- How much is that? - What?
It's 43.
Then, I'm going 44.
This is getting interesting.
You either go big or go home.
Xitsuh has bid 42.
(Pushing)
It's Jin Ho's turn.
Hey, Dex.
Why are you in such a hurry, Dex?
They only see each other right now.
I apologize.
- Don't be like that. - I'm still here.
Dex is just powerful.
He bids high when he wants one.
He's like, "I'm going to win that no matter how much it costs me."
He just announces it before he takes it.
That was very Dex-like.
I have to buy it anyway.
I'll pass.
They're all competing. I don't see the need.
You've bid 43.
Maybe I should have bid 43.
I could have raised it one more.
- Come on, guys. - I lack the guts for this.
Stop!
Forty-three?
Well, I'll have to pass.
Jin Hyeong has passed.
- Forty-three? - Yes, sir.
This is war.
Hyun Ji has bid 46.
Okay. Pass.
(Xitsuh passes.)
Pass.
Hyun Ji has won sale card ten.
Sale card number ten was out,
and I won that without a problem to score ten.
(Current Sale Cards: Hyun Ji 10, Dex 8, Jin Ho 6, Jin Hyeong 4, Xitsuh 0)
Here's the next sale card.
- It's nine. - That's a juicy one.
Hyun Ji, let's go.
She's out of blocks too.
Yes. She has to get a loan.
I'll get a loan.
- She had more money. - You've bought...
- the number 11 block for 10,000 dollars. - You were lying yesterday.
(The night before)
(Are you totally out of individual funds now?)
(Hyun Ji currently has 60,000 dollars.)
(Well, for now,)
(I have the prize money from last night.)
(Hyun Ji lied that she only had 20,000 dollars.)
(She gave Jin Ho and Xitsuh 10,000 dollars each,)
(so the other players assumed that she had no money left.)
- Liar. - Liar.
It's number nine, but I'll start slowly.
- Here. - I can't play with these liars.
Hyun Ji has bid two.
Xitsuh has bid 25.
Jin Ho has bid 8 and 25, a total of 33.
(Sale card 9 for 33)
Dex has bid 25 and 15, a total of 40.
(Dex bids 40.)
Forty?
You need to pay at least 40 for such a good one.
(Thinking hard)
I'll buy the number 11 block for 10,000 dollars.
Jin Hyeong has bought the number 11 block for 10,000 dollars.
(Jin Hyeong buys the number 11 block.)
(Sale card 9 for 40)
(All in)
What?
(Jin Hyeong bids 43.)
Jin Hyeong has bid 43.
- That's cool, Jin Hyeong. - I'll pass.
(Hyun Ji passes.)
It is a bit too high.
- I'll pass. - Xitsuh has passed.
I'll buy the number 11 block for 10,000 dollars.
I should have bought it sooner.
(Jin Ho buys the number 11 block.)
- Forty-four. - What?
Jin Ho has bid 44.
- Pass. - I'll pass too.
(Jin Hyeong passes.)
Jin Ho has won sale card number nine.
Good.
I overspent on sale card number nine.
I overspent.
But Jin Hyeong's cards were...
He could have returned card number two if he got a return card.
He also had a double card, so he could 18 with that.
I didn't win the bid to keep the number nine for myself.
It was the opposite.
Jin Hyeong was likely to win if he took it.
And I knew I couldn't let him have it.
(Current Sale Cards: Jin Ho 15, Hyun Ji 10, Dex 8, Jin Hyeong 4, Xitsuh 0)
Here's the next sale card. It's four.
Jin Ho has bid two.
Dex has bid four.
Pass.
Hyun Ji has bid 13.
(Xitsuh bids 16.)
Xitsuh has bid 16.
- I'll pass. - Pass.
Pass.
Xitsuh has won sale card number four.
Thank you.
A lot of them spent quite a sum earlier in the game,
and I had been saving mine.
The next sale card is three.
(Sale card 3)
- Xitsuh has bid 10. - That's a fair price.
Pass.
(Sale card 3 for 10)
Dex has bid 15.
- Pass. - I'll pass.
(Xitsuh bids 16.)
Give it to me, Dex.
Pass.
Xitsuh has won sale card number three.
The next sale card is five.
(Sale card 5)
Xitsuh has bid 25.
(Xitsuh bids aggressively.)
- Pass. - Pass.
Xitsuh has won sale card number five.
(Current Sale Cards: Jin Ho 15, Xitsuh 12, Hyun Ji 10, Dex 8, Jin Hyeong 4)
Here's the next sale card.
It's one of the bad cards, the return card.
- Oh, I'm tired. - Let's feed him this.
(When you win the return card,)
That's a big one.
(you must return one of the sale cards that you own.)
I have to protect myself.
(Return Card)
I'll buy a block.
Xitsuh has bought the number 11 block for 10,000 dollars.
You guys are all gamblers.
(Current Funds, Hyun Ji: 2, 3, 8, 10, and 11)
(Xitsuh: 1, 2, 3, 8, 15, and 11, Jin Ho: 1, 2, and 15)
(Dex: 3, 4, 15, 25, and 11, Jin Hyeong: 1, 2, 3, 6, 20, and 11)
(Xitsuh bids 1.)
I recommend you bid high.
I have quite a bit of funds because I bought one.
- I'll follow. - This is tough.
If it's only going to take one round, I'll bid low.
But if I raise it too slowly, I'll have to pay more in the end.
- Gosh. - You have two sale cards, so it's okay.
Not me. I'm safe.
But I want to save my number blocks.
(Return card for 1)
- Keep fighting, guys. - Yes, sir.
- Jin Ho has bid two. - You're the best, sir.
We're losing this money anyway.
(Hyun Ji and Dex have one sale card each.)
Dex has bid three.
(Jin Hyeong is currently in last place.)
There was one person who I could make sure to lose...
with the return card.
That was Hyun Ji.
She currently has sale card 10, minus-five card,
and a double card.
If she gets the return card,
she must hand in her sale card number ten.
Then, Hyun Ji will place last...
as she has a negative score.
I could either take one more lap with the return card...
or pay a huge sum to give Hyun Ji the return card.
I had to think hard about that.
(Hyun Ji's remaining blocks)
I had totally forgotten about that card.
The bad cards were the half card and the minus-five card.
I only had those two in mind.
And the return card showed up out of nowhere.
I was running out of funds too.
It was my mistake.
We can send it over there if we do a good job.
Think this through.
What if Dex gets me?
Fine. Send it to me.
- We can do it. - Take me down with you.
Keep bidding, then.
We'll never get there.
Keep bidding.
You'll need some money for sale card seven to win.
(Jin Hyeong bids 34.)
Jin Hyeong has bid 34.
Even if I went all in, I had to take that card.
I'm doomed.
Goodness.
I can't bet anymore.
Hyun Ji has won the bad card.
That's cold.
Please return a card immediately.
(Hyun Ji returns sale card number 10.)
(Hyun Ji's score is negative 10, and she's down to 5th place.)
Here's the next sale card.
- It's one. - Shoot.
Hyun Ji has bid two.
Pass.
Xitsuh has passed.
(Sale card 1 for 2)
I'll pass.
Jin Ho has passed.
Dex has bid four.
(Sale card 1 for 4)
(Jin Hyeong bids 9.)
Jin Hyeong has 6 and 3, a total of 9.
Pass.
Hyun Ji has passed.
Pass.
Jin Hyeong has won sale card number one.
I'll be praying now.
Okay. Let's do this.
Here's the next sale card.
One of the bad cards,
the half card.
(Half card)
(Jin Hyeong has no funds remaining to protect himself.)
If one no longer has funds to bet on his or her turn,
a bad card is automatically sold to that person.
I'll take it.
I was dumbfounded.
I had spent so much...
to win a double card.
All that work went to waste,
and I only spent the money in vain.
I can't believe the half card showed up now.
I know, right?
Here's the next sale card.
- It's one of the good cards. - It's finished.
Okay.
It's the last card.
(When the last good card gets auctioned off, the game ends.)
I'll pass.
In the previous round,
I realized that I won't be able to win it.
In the previous round, my funds fell below Dex's.
(Jin Ho is the next bidder.)
I knew that I couldn't win the card.
Dex had more blocks than me.
My original goal was...
Winning was an additional goal.
Not placing last was my first goal.
With that goal, I secured 15 points.
I knew that I wouldn't place last.
I had already met my goal.
All right.
Jin Ho has bid 16.
(Dex is the next bidder.)
Currently, Jin Ho has 15 points and Dex has 8 points.
If Dex succeeds in winning the good card,
he will move up to the top with a score of 16 points.
In the beginning, I told myself...
that I would avoid placing last.
But winning would be better.
The end.
Dex has bid 55.
Despite seeming a bit reckless,
he followed his own style.
I think the result was only possible because he was Dex.
(Jin Ho passes.)
Jin Ho has passed.
Dex has won the good card.
Good job.
Here is the result of the semifinals.
The winner of the semifinals is...
Hong Jin Ho.
(The winner of the semifinals, Hong Jin Ho)
Jin Ho?
Dex has 16 points.
It's the highest number.
(Earlier)
(Jin Ho bid all of his blocks.)
It was impossible for me to win by myself.
I needed to rely on someone's mistake.
My target was Dex.
By bidding all of my blocks, I gave off that vibe.
If he only focuses on the idea of adding points...
to his score...
by winning the card,
he might forget about the rule...
that would keep him from winning.
But the player who has the lowest total of number blocks...
cannot be the winner.
(The player who has spent the highest amount of funds cannot win.)
I thought, "Wouldn't he go all in like I did?"
Then the one with the next highest score would have won...
due to the rule about the number of blocks.
That was the situation...
and I was the one with the next highest score.
That was the only thing I went for.
The end.
(As Jin Ho expected, Dex went all in.)
The moment Dex went all in, I thought, "I did it."
(Then Jin Ho passed as he had planned.)
- Jin Ho, will you pass? - Yes.
Jin Ho has passed.
Dex has won the good card.
- Congratulations. - I won.
What? You?
Dex has 16 points.
It's the highest number.
Dex doesn't have remaining blocks.
(Dex doesn't have remaining blocks.)
- Dex doesn't have remaining blocks. - Really?
I forgot about the details.
The strong message I wanted to give was,
"Don't even think about challenging me."
So I went all in as a strategy.
I didn't know it would keep it from winning.
But I think those flaws are what make me unique.
I always think about those things.
No matter how small,
I think about the rules and details of the game.
The person who thinks about them once more becomes advantageous.
That happened in this case.
(Current Sale Cards)
I am so disappointed. Why did I do that?
Dex, you couldn't resist being the manly man.
I wanted to win once.
It's too bad.
The player who got eliminated is...
Shin Hyun Ji.
(Shin Hyun Ji)
I didn't think about the return card.
- Good work. - Good work.
Good work.
You worked hard.
Since I picked Hyun Ji,
she struggled a lot in the wild.
She went through many hardships to reach the semifinals.
Hyun Ji must be disappointed, but she did well.
"You did well to come this far."
I had this thought.
Good work.
- I should get going now, right? - What?
I should get going now, right? Good luck.
You worked hard.
- All right. - Good luck.
I never thought I would be on another survival show...
since "Korea's Next Top Model."
I saw a side of me I didn't know about.
My goodness.
(The wood burns well since it's dry.)
(Come on out. Wear your shoes and come on out.)
I made an effort to give every game my best.
Sometimes, my strategy worked.
(For our survival,)
(let's discard one person.)
(If someone uses up 5 cards,)
(I will be able to use up 4 cards.)
Sometimes, my strategy didn't work.
(I see that you are up to no good.)
(I will go someday.)
(It would have been better to get angry with me.)
Before I joined Bloody Game 2,
I confidently said, "I will win."
But it was a bloody battle.
Each day, I didn't know what the game would be.
I didn't know what psychological battles...
and politics would be necessary.
I think I did very well...
by advancing this far.
I am disappointed about my elimination,
but I learned a lot on the show.
I gained many things.
The experience was meaningful and touching.
Congratulations on advancing to the final.
For the final, you will have a 1-on-1 tournament.
The winner of the semifinals, Hong Jin Ho...
can decide on the game for Round One and the opponent.
I am jealous.
The winner of the semifinals, Hong Jin Ho, enter the Voting Room...
to pick the game for Round One and the opponent.
To become 1 of the 2 remaining people,
It would be best to avoid Jin Ho.
I know that I should never contend against Jin Ho.
If I have a 1-on-1 match with him, I will definitely lose.
(The game and rules are revealed to Jin Ho first.)
I had this thought.
Being the winner, I had the benefit...
of drawing up the matches and learning about the game in advance.
I wanted to make the most of that benefit.
But one game had rules...
that could be understood right away.
Getting them in advance wouldn't have given me an edge.
(He picks up the rules of the other game.)
I could come up with the strategy in advance.
I thought it was very nice.
I knew that it would play a big role.
- Did you decide on the game? - Yes.
(He chose the game for Round 1 of the final.)
Pick your opponent.
I might come across as cocky or confident,
but I was fine with going against any one of them.
I will pick...
The matches for Round One of the final has been decided.
(Jin Hyeong and Xitsuh)
I will pick Dex.
I decided to have Xitsuh and Jin Hyeong go against each other.
Xitsuh is pretty good at playing games.
So is Jin Hyeong.
I thought it would be easier for me...
to eliminate a strong candidate.
(List of matches for the final)
Round One of the final match will begin now.
Jin Hyeong would be strong in a 1-on-1 match.
No matter the game, playing against Jin Hyeong wouldn't be easy.
Xitsuh is a strong candidate.
He has the ability...
to come up with a thorough strategy with details.
Both Xitsuh and I have strong points.
My only hope is that...
the game will be advantageous to me and disadvantageous to Xitsuh.
The game for Round One of the final match will be revealed.
The game for Round One of the final match is...
(Hidden Mission)
Hidden Mission.
For Hidden Mission,
you will find and remove two blocks with the same shape...
and answer the question that is hidden behind the blocks.
The game requires memorization and quick thinking.
(What's the relationship of Hansel and Gretel from "Grimm's Fairy Tales?")
(Siblings)
With 6 blocks wide and 6 blocks tall, the game board has 36 blocks in total.
There are 18 block pairs with the same shapes.
The shape side will be revealed for 10, 20, and 30 seconds...
in the three respective rounds.
The player that placed higher in the semifinals...
will call out the numbers first.
The players will take turns...
to shout out two block numbers with the same shape.
If a player is correct, that player will win one point.
Then it will be the next player's turn.
Once the blocks are correctly paired, they will be turned over...
to reveal a hidden mission.
The player that answers the hidden mission correctly...
will win three points.
(What's the relationship of Hansel and Gretel from "Grimm's Fairy Tales?")
(Siblings)
Then the round will end.
If the answer is incorrect,
the other player will receive a chance.
Two items can be used for Hidden Mission.
The first item is Double.
This item lets you answer two times in a row.
If you pair the blocks on the 1st attempt, you will win 1 point.
If you pair the blocks on the 2nd attempt, you will win 2 points.
But if you fail, you will lose one point.
The second item is Open.
This item lets you open a block when it's your turn.
You can use the 2 items only once in 3 rounds.
You can use the 2 times at the same time.
After three rounds, the player with the highest score...
will move on to Round Two of the final.
(Winner, Eliminated player)
It's a match of skills.
But while the necessary skills are crystal clear,
it isn't impossible to strategize.
For example, you could decide on the order of memorization.
Otherwise, you could focus on getting the answer...
of the hidden mission instead of memorizing the shapes.
I think I would be better with the hidden mission.
It requires creativity, doesn't it?
I will focus on that more.
Let's go.
The moment we have a rough idea of the question,
it will be a match of getting the correct answer.
I thought that Xitsuh would be...
much better at answering the hidden mission.
So I decided to do my best...
with my specialty, memorization.
Let's begin.
The hidden mission board for Round One will be revealed.
(The hidden mission board for Round 1 is revealed for 10 seconds.)
(Hidden Mission Round 1 Problem)
I will close the doors.
This is hard.
Do you remember anything?
Darn it.
The number side will be revealed.
The numbers make it harder.
The player who received a higher score in the semifinals,
Xitsuh will begin.
I memorized the shapes in the center.
It occurred to me...
that Jin Hyeong would memorize them in an order.
So I went for the center blocks...
that were difficult to memorize.
I choose 22 and 23.
That is incorrect.
It's Jin Hyeong's turn.
I will use Double.
If you use Double, an incorrect answer makes you lose one point.
But you can't lose a point when you have zero points.
Thus, I thought the 1st turn of Round 1...
would be my only chance...
to use Double.
(The first answer)
I choose 1 and 9.
That is correct.
(Jin Hyeong 1, Xitsuh 0)
(The hidden mission letters are revealed for the first time.)
(Is)
(Of)
(If he correctly pairs the blocks again, he will win 2 additional points.)
I choose 35 and 2.
(Jin Hyeong starts from 1.)
That is correct.
I started from the first row...
and matched the numbers to the blocks.
I memorized which one paired with the first block...
and which one paired with the second block and so on.
By memorizing six numbers,
I could match 12 shapes.
(With Double, he acquired 3 points in his 1st turn.)
Xitsuh, it's your turn.
I choose 21 and 22.
That is incorrect.
Gosh.
I am getting everything wrong.
Jin Hyeong, it's your turn.
I choose 11 and 3.
That is correct.
(Pic)
(The revealed syllable is "Pic.")
The revealed syllable was "Pic."
The only word that came to my mind was "Olympic."
I thought "Pic" was a syllable from "Olympic."
Xitsuh, it's your turn.
(The hidden mission begins to reveal itself.)
I choose 16 and 22.
That is correct.
(Ty)
I choose 4 and 17.
That is correct.
(What)
I choose 20 and 23.
That is incorrect.
I choose 6 and 26.
That is correct.
(The revealed syllable is "Pi.")
I choose 5 and 15.
That is correct.
(Of)
I choose eight...
and seven.
That is incorrect.
I choose 8 and 20.
That is correct.
(Game)
(France)
(What, is, France)
I saw "France."
The answer had to be a city in France.
(Pic)
I will give an answer to the hidden mission.
Please state your answer.
Paris.
That is correct.
(What is the name of the capital of France...)
(in which the twenty-twenty-four Olympic game events will be held?)
(Paris)
Round One is over.
(Round 1 is over.)
Well done.
Why is the answer Paris? Is it asking for the capital?
The capital of France in which the Olympics were held.
Right.
You figured it out through "France" and "Pic."
You're bold.
I will announce the points that were earned in Round One.
Lee Jin Hyeong, nine.
Xitsuh, three.
Round Two of Hidden Mission will begin.
Come here. Let's switch spots.
Okay.
The hidden mission board will be revealed.
(The hidden mission board is revealed for 20 seconds.)
(The shapes are much more complex compared to Round 1.)
(Hidden Mission Round 2 Problem)
I will close the doors.
The game became much harder in Round Two.
In Round Two as well, I memorized the blocks that corresponded...
with the ones in the first row.
Jin Hyeong will begin.
I choose 1 and 10.
One and ten.
That is correct.
(In)
(A)
(The revealed syllables are "In" and "A.")
I will use Double,
I decided to use it in the beginning...
when my memory was fresh.
I choose 2 and 15.
That is correct.
(Jin Hyeong: 10, Xitsuh: 4)
(The)
I choose 4 and 32.
That is incorrect.
(Jin Hyeong: 10, Xitsuh: 3)
I am done for.
(Sighing)
Am I a fool?
I choose 4 and 33.
When I went after Xitsuh,
I purposefully chose 4 and 33.
(Xitsuh chose 4 and 32 and answered incorrectly...)
(right before Jin Hyeong's turn.)
I had the blocks memorized,
so I chose them to give Xitsuh a mental blow.
I choose 4 and 33.
That is correct.
I am done for.
I choose 6 and 8.
That is correct.
I choose 5 and 14.
That is correct.
I choose 3 and 36.
That is incorrect.
(The revealed syllables are...)
(a, the, high, al, him, world, so, and the.)
I will give an answer to the hidden mission.
"Hunminjeongeum."
That is incorrect.
I thought the question was related to King Sejong.
Xitsuh, it's your turn.
I choose 3 and 35.
Correct.
(Est)
I choose 7 and 9.
That is incorrect.
I choose 9 and 36.
That is correct.
(The revealed syllables are...)
(moun and tain.)
We got moun and tain.
What could be the question?
It was obviously related to a mountain,
but I couldn't figure out how "Him" played into the question.
I choose 16 and 27.
You chose 16 and 27.
That is incorrect.
I choose 24 and 27.
That is correct.
(Xitsuh received a hint from Jin Hyeong's incorrect guess.)
I choose 30 and 26.
That is incorrect.
I choose 7 and 30.
That is correct.
(The revealed syllables are is...)
(and in.)
I choose 13 and 19.
That is incorrect.
I choose 13 and 12.
That is incorrect.
I choose 13 and 12.
You chose 13 and 12.
That's right. I chose 13 and 12.
Yes.
I memorized about 10 to 12 blocks.
Since I was done memorizing them,
I didn't want to open new blocks...
and reveal information to my opponent.
So I chose the blocks Xitsuh opened, 13 and 12.
I choose 13 and 12.
Without giving away information, I thought about...
what the answer of the hidden mission might be.
That is incorrect.
I choose 18...
and 23.
You chose 18 and 23.
- That is incorrect. - This is bad.
I choose 23 and 31.
That is correct.
(The revealed syllables are the...)
(and yas.)
I choose 18 and 25.
That is incorrect.
I choose 18 and 19.
That is correct.
(A)
(Peak)
(Peak?)
(Lee Jin Hyeong: 14, Xitsuh: 8)
- I will state the hidden mission. - I will state...
(Lee Jin Hyeong gets a chance by a hair's breadth.)
At some point, I started to think...
that it would be the highest peak in a certain mountain range.
Mount Everest.
That is correct.
Round 2 is over.
(The name of a peak in the Himalayas...)
(that is also the highest mountain in the world.)
(Mount Everest)
(Lee Jin Hyeong: 17, Xitsuh: 8)
Round Three of Hidden Mission will start.
If I follow my strategy,
I know I'll be able to guess at least six blocks.
On the other hand,
if I let my guard down...
and fail to memorize six blocks,
I could come behind in memorization points...
and end up losing.
I need to prove my skills.
It's not over yet.
The hidden mission board for Round Three will be revealed...
for 30 seconds.
It's over.
I know I said that it's not over yet.
But in elementary school,
we were required to take a Chinese characters test,
and I couldn't pass Level Eight.
I didn't even know...
how to write water or soil.
I still have to try my best though.
This isn't a game of memorizing Chinese characters.
It's a game of memorizing shapes.
I'm not going to memorize their meanings. I'm just going to memorize their shapes.
So I didn't think it was important for me...
to be well-acquainted with Chinese characters.
(Hidden Mission Round 3 Problem)
I will close the doors.
The numbers will be revealed.
Xitsuh will start.
I choose 9 and 1.
(Lee Jin Hyeong: 17, Xitsuh: 8)
That is correct.
(Est and that)
I choose 2 and 12.
(Lee Jin Hyeong: 17, Xitsuh: 9)
That is correct.
(Bo and larg)
(Syllables revealed so far: est, that, bo, larg)
(Est, that, bo, larg)
I would like to state the answer to the hidden mission.
(Only 4 syllables have been revealed.)
I wasn't sure,
but I thought it would be a body part,
like the longest...
or the strongest bone in the body.
- The answer is skull. - That is incorrect.
Can I try again?
- Head. - It is Xitsuh's turn.
If I just get the answer right,
the victory would be mine.
So I tried hard to get the correct answer quickly.
I choose 5 and 29.
Darn it. I got it wrong.
That is incorrect.
I choose 4 and 29.
That is correct.
(Lee Jin Hyeong: 19, Xitsuh: 9)
I choose 5 and 19.
That is incorrect.
I choose 5 and 7.
That is correct.
(Lee Jin Hyeong: 20, Xitsuh: 9)
I choose 6 and 26.
That is incorrect.
They look so similar.
I choose 8 and 26.
That is correct.
(Lee Jin Hyeong: 21, Xitsuh: 9)
I'm so bad with Chinese characters.
I choose 18 and 27.
That is correct.
I choose 3 and 34.
(Lee Jin Hyeong: 21, Xitsuh: 10)
That is correct.
I choose 10 and 25.
Number 10 and 25.
(Lee Jin Hyeong: 22, Xitsuh: 10)
- That is correct. - Nice.
(Mal and name)
I choose 13 and 35.
Number 13 and 35. That is correct.
(Est, bo, has, land,)
(a, trunk, that, name,)
(larg, the, mal,)
(a, of, the)
I have no clue.
Is it pimple? Nose...
(Trunk)
(Bo)
Largest body...
I know the answer.
It's an elephant.
That is correct.
What is the question?
(The name of a land animal...)
(with the largest body that has a long trunk.)
(Elephant)
Xitsuh versus Lee Jin Hyeong.
The winner is Lee Jin Hyeong.
- Good work. - Not at all.
You better win.
- I will win. - Yes.
Looking back, I've come a long way.
Thinking about how hard I've tried throughout this show,
I have no regrets.
(If you multiply by 8 and then divide by 8,)
(it will be 1 again.)
(You can divide 48 by 3.)
(He showed off his intelligence.)
(As long as neither Seung Jin nor YunB wins, you can win.)
(He was also good at cornering his opponents.)
(Xitsuh was born to be on a survival show.)
When I was kidnapped to the wilderness...
(You can take off your mask.)
(He joined Jin Ho's team as the first abductee.)
(He was confused by the unexpected situations.)
I remember that the most.
I kept sweating buckets,
and I was hungry and thirsty.
But it was also fun and interesting at the same time.
It was a weird combination of people.
(His new teammates were very supportive in the extreme situations.)
The experience was unbelievable.
I don't think I'll ever be able to experience it again.
It was an unrepeatable experience.
Because I had someone I could trust from beginning to end,
without a doubt.
(Hong Jin Ho and Xitsuh had massive trust in each other.)
I don't think I'll ever be able to experience that again.
In that sense, my time here was very meaningful.
(Final match bracket)
(Lee Jin Hyeong)
The first round of the final match...
between Hong Jin Ho and Dex will start now.
The Round One game for the final match will now be revealed.
The Round One game is...
Color Turn.
(Color Turn)
In this game, you have to form an unbroken line...
of four chips of your color...
on a board that contains mines that change the color of your chips.
Each player will receive seven chips...
of either the color black or white.
When you first move a chip,
it can only be placed in the first row in front of you.
The two players will take turns moving the chips.
All chips can be moved...
one space at a time in any direction.
Any chip that has already been placed...
on the board can be moved by any player.
There are three mines per row...
and a total of 18 mines.
If a chip is placed on top of a mine,
the chip will change from black to white...
or from white to black.
You may not move the chip that was moved by your opponent in the previous turn.
The player that creates a line of four first...
will advance to the next round.
I didn't think I would lose.
I was thinking of winning no matter what.
I thought it would be difficult for Dex to fully understand the game.
And I thought I would be at an advantage...
if I knew this particular game beforehand.
That is why I chose Color Turn...
instead of Hidden Mission.
To be honest, I knew I would probably lose...
if I had to be against Jin Ho.
But we've all played a lot of Gomoku when we were little.
I drew the game in a notebook and played with my friends.
I was pretty familiar with the game,
so I thought I had a chance.
The first turn will go to Hong Jin Ho,
- who was the winner of the semifinals. - Okay.
(Hong Jin Ho goes first.)
There is no change. Dex, it is your turn.
There is no change. Hong Jin Ho, it is your turn.
The chip will change colors.
Dex, it is your turn.
(He adds a chip.)
The chip will change colors.
Hong Jin Ho, it is your turn.
It was easy to memorize the locations of the mines.
If the mines were in the 2nd and 4th spot,
I just memorized 2 and 4 in my head.
For the second row, I memorized the numbers in English.
The mines were in spots 3 and 5,
so I just kept repeating 2, 4, 3, 5 in my head.
Dex, it is your turn.
(He moves the black chip over a mine spot.)
The chip will change colors.
To be honest, it was hard to memorize the locations of all the mines.
Since I knew I wouldn't be able to memorize the spots of the mines,
I didn't touch the chips again...
if they changed colors because the changed color...
told me that there was a mine at that spot.
Hong Jin Ho, it is your turn.
The chip will change colors.
In the row right in front of me,
there were three black chips.
And I had a strategy...
inside my head to complete the line.
So I thought it would be an easy win for me.
Dex, it is your turn.
The chip will change colors.
Hong Jin Ho, it is your turn.
There is no change. Dex, it is your turn.
The chip will change colors.
(Dex is actively looking for the mines.)
Hong Jin Ho, it is your turn.
The chip will change colors.
(Hong Jin Ho creates a row of three black chips again.)
Dex, it is your turn.
The chip will change colors.
Hong Jin Ho, it is your turn.
(Hong Jin Ho attacks again.)
There is no change.
Even in Gomoku, there is a 3-3 strategy...
where you have two options to win.
I kept thinking of that strategy,
and it was almost complete.
I only needed one more chip.
Dex, it is your turn.
There is no change.
Hong Jin Ho, it is your turn.
The chip will change colors.
(He keeps getting close to winning.)
Dex, it is your turn.
The chip will change colors.
Hong Jin Ho, it is your turn.
As I was playing the game,
I started to remember the locations of the mines through shapes.
I would remember where the mines were by the shape of an "L" and so forth.
That is how I engraved the mines in my head,
and I tried not to forget.
Hong Jin Ho, it is your turn.
It was pretty rough.
I only needed to move one last chip,
but Dex would move it somewhere else.
Then I would move it back...
and Dex would move it again.
The same thing kept repeating over and over again.
The game wouldn't end.
I wasn't sure how to get out of that quagmire.
(The current mines that have been found.)
The chip will change colors.
(Hong Jin Ho finds a new mine.)
(Dismayed)
Dex, it is your turn.
Toward the end, there were a lot more white chips.
And there were also a lot more chances for me...
to try out a lot of options.
There is no change.
(Dex makes a row of three white chips.)
Hong Jin Ho, it is your turn.
(Confused)
All of a sudden, the chips in front of me were all white.
There were three white chips,
and I just needed to move one chip...
to make four white chips.
What? What is he thinking?
I thought the game was over.
So I moved the chip quickly,
but I sensed a weird feeling.
Something felt out of place.
There is no change.
(A line of four white chips has been made.)
The game is over.
The winner is Dex.
I thought I won.
At that moment, my brain moved quickly,
and I realized that Dex was white and that I was black.
So I was supposed to create a black line.
That was the reason for my defeat.
As the winner of the semifinals, I was allowed to know the game ahead of time.
I received the rules in written form.
So when I read the rules,
I understood that there were 14 chips...
and that I just had to create a line of four...
within my boundaries, whether the color was black...
or white.
(Hong Jin Ho lost due to misunderstanding the rules.)
Color Turn is over.
The winner is Dex.
- Good work. - Thank you.
- I made a mistake. - It was an honor, Jin Ho.
It was an honor.
You went through a lot.
I wished you would make a mistake, but I made the mistake.
I realized that I could lose like this.
I didn't understand the rules of the game.
I misunderstood.
It was usually my strategy to win by having a good understanding of the rules.
But I was hoisted by my own petard.
(During the semifinals, Hong Jin Ho won by using the rules.)
To put it nicely, it was a learning experience.
To put it in a bad way, I was an idiot.
Darn it.
The thing is, for half of my life,
I've always been battling against someone.
So I feel like I'm always...
more eager to win than anyone.
I always want to win, but it never happens.
But what's important...
is not the fact that I can't become the winner.
I always have a chance of winning or losing.
(Let's do 4 and 7.)
(For the first turn?)
(Submit 4 and 7, and for the next turn,)
(just do the highest combination.)
(He calculated every possible outcome.)
(Ha Seung Jin: 4, 7)
(We won.)
(His predictions of the opposing team's strategies were on point.)
(We won.)
(Did you do 7 and 4?)
(Hong Jin Ho helped his team win.)
(He was a strategist who led his team.)
(Make grey 4, and grey will be last.)
(They were threatened.)
(To prepare for the Deathmatch.)
- If they choose. - Darn it.
(I should get prepared for the Deathmatch.)
(No, I'll compete in the Deathmatch.)
(You can win.)
(I'll go and beat KNUCKS.)
(You can send YunB to the wild.)
(After he brought victory to his teammates,)
(he volunteered to participate in Deathmatch.)
(He won against the leader of the rival team.)
(You want the 3-point block?)
(That would be the best option.)
(I can end things.)
(He was a player who was skilled in every aspect.)
I like competing against other people,
and I'm going to continue to do what I've been doing.
As hard as this was, it'll leave a lasting impact on my life.
I'm going to remember a lot from Bloody Game 2.
(Final match bracket)
(Dex)
The first round of the final match has ended.
Players, please gather in the main hall.
I can't believe I made it to the finals.
Before the final match,
there are people who came to cheer the two finalists on.
What?
- They're here. - Goodness.
- Hello. - You guys went through a lot.
(The eliminated players came together for the finals.)
- Hi. - Jin Young!
It's been a while. Gosh.
- How did you make it this far? - I'm going to the finals.
- Win. - Of course.
- You have to win. - Of course.
Dex, how did this happen?
It's only natural after beating you.
Thanks. Then win for me.
Okay.
There's something I've been saying half-jokingly.
"The one who beats Jin Ho will win the whole competition,"
is what I said.
Since I actually beat Jin Ho, I think it occurred to me...
that I really have to win.
Jin Hyeong was known as the brain,
and he may be good at showing off his personal abilities.
But one method of knocking him down is dominating him mentally.
So my strategy was to be bold and play aggressively.
If there's one thing I could ask for,
coming up to this point,
there were a lot of moments when luck was not on my side.
But for this last moment,
I hope Lady Luck will be on my side.
Let's win this.
Good work. You went through a lot.
I came here to win.
And there is only one game left before my victory.
I don't want to be satisfied for coming this far...
and go back home with the runner-up title.
I came here to win,
I'm going to win, and I must win.
Dex may be slow in understanding the rules,
but once he gets a good grasp of the rules,
he's shown that he can be a strong opponent.
So I can't let my guard down and consider him an easy opponent.
For that reason, I will do my best...
to get ready for my final match against Dex.
Now, the final game will be revealed.
Today's final match is...
Jungle Maze.
(This game was created with the help of Korea BoardGames.)
Jungle Maze...
is a game that uses one's spatial perception and judgment skills...
to reach a destination after moving maze tiles.
On the maze between the two players...
are 16 fixed tiles...
and 33 movable tiles.
Each player will have four destination cards.
The first card that is revealed will show each player's first destination.
On a player's turn, two actions must be carried out.
First,
push a spare tile in the direction...
of the arrows to move the maze.
However, a tile that was pushed out of the maze...
in the previous turn can't be pushed back in right away.
(Destination)
Second, after rearranging the maze,
you may move your game piece.
If the path is connected, the game piece can move anywhere.
Choosing not to move is also an option.
Once a player reaches their destination,
the corresponding destination card is discarded,
and the card on top of the deck...
will be the next destination.
The player that reaches all four of their destinations...
and returns to their starting point first wins.
(Winner, runner-up)
- They're starting. - They're starting now.
- Goodness. - Gosh.
I'm going to sit up now.
The final match of Bloody Game 2...
between Dex and Lee Jin Hyeong will start.
The person who gets to start is Dex,
who has more individual funds left.
I will now reveal the first destination.
(Dex: Eye, Lee Jin Hyeong: Moon)
(Dex's destination, Lee Jin Hyeong's destination)
Dex, please move a tile.
(He inserts the tile without hesitation.)
- Will you move your game piece? - Yes.
Lee Jin Hyeong, please move a tile.
(Lee Jin Hyeong's destination.)
- Will you move your game piece? - Yes.
Dex, please move a tile.
I wanted to give him a lot of "L" shapes...
to make it hard for my opponent to create a path.
I started the game with only one strategy.
Will you move your game piece?
Yes.
Lee Jin Hyeong, please move a tile.
Will you move a game piece?
No.
(Jin Hyeong doesn't move his piece closer to the destination.)
Rather than getting closer little by little,
I wanted to hide my big picture strategy...
from my opponent until the last second,
then reach the destination in one go.
I thought that would help in breaking my opponent's resolve.
It's Dex's turn.
Please move a tile.
Will you move a game piece?
No.
They're trying not to give each other any "I" or "T" shapes.
The piece Jin Hyeong is holding right now...
is the worst one to place.
That one's the hardest to place,
- and the "T" shape is the easiest. - Yes, the "T" shape is the best one.
He should keep moving out that shape then.
(After pondering for a while,)
(Jin Hyeong places his tile.)
It's Dex's turn. Please move a tile.
Will you move your game piece?
Yes.
(Dex arrives at his first destination.)
You have reached your first destination.
I thought that I started well,
and that I was off to a good start.
If I just kept going at this pace,
I thought I could win handily.
I will now reveal the second destination.
(Dex's second destination)
(Mountain)
Gosh.
(Dex's destination)
(Jin Hyeong's destination)
(Jin Hyeong lost a point to Dex from the start.)
That's not bad. He just needs to move over the "I" shape,
- and he can move to the right. - You're right.
- Will you move your game piece? - Yes.
You have reached your first destination.
If I only try to defend, I won't be able to create my path.
In order to reach my destination,
I thought I could make up...
for any "I" shaped tiles I ended up handing over to Dex.
I will now reveal your second destination.
(Lee Jin Hyeong's second destination)
(Eye)
(The destination that Dex had just reached before)
(Dex 1, Lee Jin Hyeong 1)
Will you move your game piece?
It's Jin Hyeong's turn.
Please move a tile.
As soon as the second destination was revealed,
I became certain that I could reach it...
without sacrificing too much.
(He gets close with one turn.)
It's Dex's turn. Please move a tile.
He can't give him an "I" shape here.
Jin Hyeong will get it with an "I."
(Jin Hyeong can reach his destination immediately if he gets an "I" shape.)
(Dex gives Jin Hyeong an "L" shape tile.)
(An "I" shape tile got forced to move.)
- Will you move your game piece? - No.
What? Really?
Jin Hyeong will get his second one now.
It's Jin Hyeong's turn.
Please move a tile.
(Lee Jin Hyeong's destination)
- Will you move your game piece? - Yes.
You have reached your second destination.
I will now reveal your third destination.
(Lee Jin Hyeong's third destination)
(Mountain)
It's Dex's turn.
Please move a tile.
They both have "Mountain" right now.
- They both have the triangle. - They have the same destination,
and the same path.
This is fun.
Jin Hyeong has the advantage because he already got two.
(Dex 1, Lee Jin Hyeong 2)
Will you move your game piece?
(Lee Jin Hyeong and Dex's destination)
It's Lee Jin Hyeong's turn.
Please move a tile.
(Lee Jin Hyeong and Dex's destination)
Will you move your game piece?
Yes.
(Moving far away from his destination)
It's Dex's turn. Please move a tile.
He moved in the opposite direction.
He has to block Dex.
It's better if he makes a path...
toward a destination Jin Hyeong's gotten and Dex hasn't.
If I open the path to the right,
I can reach my destination,
but Dex can follow me right after.
That's why I chose to go around.
Will you move your game piece?
(Lee Jin Hyeong and Dex's destination)
I have my own strategy.
If I place my piece on a piece that can move,
my opponent can move my piece in a random direction.
It could create a situation different from what I intended.
That's why I tried to place my piece...
on tiles that were fixed.
It's Jin Hyeong's turn.
Please move a tile.
(Dex has reached the adjacent tile.)
(Here?)
(Nodding)
(Jin Hyeong pushed out a "T" shaped tile.)
Will you move your game piece?
No.
Why not?
It's a "T" shape.
Dex will get it now.
Why did he give him a "T?"
He didn't see it.
He missed it.
I don't think Dex saw it either.
I'm sure he saw it. No way.
It's Dex's turn. Please move a tile.
(Dex doesn't place his tile right away.)
See? He's not going right away.
No.
Just put it down, Dex, and you can get your destination now.
Just put it down.
- He put it down. - That's it.
That's it.
Jin Hyeong just broke down mentally.
He broke down.
Will you move your game piece?
Yes.
You have reached your second destination.
I will now reveal your third destination.
(Dex's third destination)
(Moon)
(Dex 2, Lee Jin Hyeong 2)
It's Jin Hyeong's turn.
Please move a tile.
I was only thinking about my own path,
and gave away that destination by mistake.
After that,
I felt surprised and discombobulated,
and my mental fortitude was definitely shaken.
(Dex 2, Lee Jin Hyeong 2)
Will you move your game piece?
No.
Jin Hyeong.
Jin Hyeong's totally...
He's had a total mental breakdown.
He realized he made a mistake.
First of all, Dex played the game well.
He didn't take obvious paths,
but placed his pieces on fixed tiles,
or thought about what I would do in my upcoming turns,
and placed his pieces on tiles to counter my moves.
I could see all that clearly.
After we reached a tie,
I focused more on building a path...
that Dex wouldn't discover.
(Lee Jin Hyeong's destination, Dex's destination)
(Lee Jin Hyeong's destination)
This is driving me insane.
(Lee Jin Hyeong's destination)
Will you move your game piece?
Yes.
It's Dex's turn. Please move a tile.
Jin Hyeong can make it with one more push on that side.
He can take that "I" shape...
and connect his path like that.
(He can make it to his destination using any tile.)
Whenever I wished most fervently...
for Dex not to make a certain move...
after placing my pieces,
Dex would do exactly what I feared in his next turn.
That happened several times.
That's why I was praying so hard...
that he wouldn't notice my plan for just this turn.
(Jin Hyeong had to push the fourth row to the right.)
(Dex 2, Lee Jin Hyeong 2)
(Identifying Jin Hyeong's plan exactly)
- You're good. - Yes, well.
Now, you have nowhere to go.
I could see the big picture,
so I was able to predict his move.
It's Jin Hyeong's turn.
Please move a tile.
(Jin Hyeong opens a different path.)
Will you move your game piece?
No.
It's Dex's turn. Please move a tile.
(Lee Jin Hyeong's destination)
Will you move your game piece?
(Dex's destination)
Yes.
Let me reach my destination.
No way, my friend.
I felt pressured,
and Dex seemed confident.
"So this is how I go home," is what I was thinking.
(Dex pushed his destination in front of Jin Hyeong.)
It's Jin Hyeong's turn.
Please move a tile.
Please take care of me.
I thought it wasn't good to only try to get close.
If I keep trying to create a path where there is none,
trying to get closer to the destination,
the paths will become a mess.
(Dex had no path to get closer.)
(Moving to a fixed tile he can use to reach his destination)
(Dex's destination)
This looks like a poisoned cup. Can I really take this?
What should I do?
- Will you move your game piece? - Yes.
You have reached your third destination.
I will now reveal the final destination.
(Dex 2, Lee Jin Hyeong 3)
(Sun)
It's Dex's turn. Please move a tile.
(Dex 2, Lee Jin Hyeong 3)
(The next destination is on the spot that Dex is occupying.)
Dex has a lot to think about now.
He has to defend and move forward.
He needs to make a path to move out of there,
but then Jin Hyeong will reach the destination,
so he must be thinking about this.
(He cannot make a path without thinking it through.)
One mistake I made...
is that the deeper we got into the second half,
the blocks at the ends...
were all good blocks.
The time to give my opponent...
the bad blocks I wanted to give him had passed.
It was a bad judgment call, and it put me in danger.
I thought things were going badly.
I did get the sense that the pace was coming over to my side.
I started thinking I could win after finding one mistake.
A poisoned cup.
(Tilting his head)
- Will you move your game piece? - No.
It's Jin Hyeong's turn. Please move a tile.
(Dex 2, Lee Jin Hyeong 3)
- Will you move your game piece? - Yes.
You have reached your fourth destination.
You now just have to return to your starting point.
(He will win if he can get back to his starting point.)
Dex, please move a tile.
(Dex 2, Lee Jin Hyeong 3)
Doesn't Dex need an "L" shape?
He's been totally isolated.
(He cannot reach his destination with an "I" shaped tile.)
(Dex 2, Lee Jin Hyeong 4)
(Dex's destination)
Will you move your game piece?
(Dex opens a path nowhere near his next destination.)
No.
It's Jin Hyeong's turn. Please move a tile.
(Lee Jin Hyeong's starting point)
- Will you move your game piece? - Yes.
It's Dex's turn. Please move a tile.
- Will you move your game piece? - Yes.
(Dex's destination)
It's Jin Hyeong's turn. Please move a tile.
What is he thinking?
Currently, in a situation where Jin Hyeong seeks a path...
to his starting point, there is a reason Dex is not aggressively blocking.
In his next turn,
Dex can create a path to his remaining destinations at once.
If he can get his hands on an "I" shaped tile,
he can return to his starting point right away.
While distracting Lee Jin Hyeong,
he was making a path to his final point on the board.
Most of the remaining tiles are "I" or "T" shapes.
The situation allows for an upset within 1 or 2 turns.
Even after Jin Hyeong made it to his fourth destination,
I didn't give up.
Jin Hyeong is someone who feels rushed often,
and who doesn't pay attention to the details.
For example, if I can get to the next checkpoint in one go...
There were two points throughout the game when that happened.
This was my chance, and I saw that I could win with an upset.
- Will you move your game piece? - Yes.
(Lee Jin Hyeong cannot let go of his game piece.)
You played well.
You played well, but I played better.
There was one spot.
One spot where he couldn't block me,
and from where I could get to my starting point before Dex.
There was one spot.
With Jin Hyeong's piece on this spot,
if Dex were to push the column down to block his path,
Jin Hyeong could use the pushed tile in the first row...
to reach his starting point.
If Dex were to push the adjacent row to the left to block,
Jin Hyeong can use the pushed tile in the column to reach his starting point.
Because he pushed the row left in the previous turn,
he cannot now push it to the right.
It's Dex's turn. Please move a tile.
I'll move it this way.
- Will you move your game piece? - No.
It's Jin Hyeong's turn.
Please move your game piece.
(Lee Jin Hyeong arrives at his starting point.)
Good game.
Lee Jin Hyeong has reached the starting point, and the game is over.
(The final winner of Bloody Game 2 is Lee Jin Hyeong.)
This was an almost unbeatable move.
I really thought I lost.
(He won through a perfect checkmate.)
- That's a pity. - You did so well.
(Runner-up, Dex)
The final match is now over.
All players, please gather in the main hall.
The final winner of Bloody Game is Lee Jin Hyeong.
(The final winner of Bloody Game is Lee Jin Hyeong.)
- You worked hard. - You really worked hard.
This victory is a huge honor for me.
I came here because I got a perfect score on the CSAT.
But my strategies failed one after another in the Money Challenges,
and I always lost by a hair.
(He led the calculations as the brain of the Outdoor Team, but...)
(Shoot, I'm doomed.)
(His plans never worked out as planned.)
(Outdoor players' arithmetic value 1,425,569.67)
(Losing with a low value)
(Consecutive losses even led to Jin Hyeong's expulsion.)
(Sighing)
(I hate this.)
I felt a lot of pressure, and I got a little worried.
But I worked hard despite that...
to make sure my determination didn't waver.
(Deathmatch against YunB)
(He gained points in special categories with an overpowering presence.)
(Lee Jin Hyeong wins by forfeit.)
(Even at the Deathmatch the following day,)
(he won with a perfect score.)
(The final match of Bloody Game 2...)
(will now begin.)
(He beat Dex to be the final winner.)
I felt like this was a chance to prove myself,
so I believe this was a very meaningful opportunity.
If I won, I really wanted to say this.
I had a great time playing this game.
To me, Bloody Game...
was something I loved and hated.
Even after being on Bloody Game 1,
I felt I was a really bad fit for this kind of show,
and that I was really bad at using my head.
But when I heard there was a Bloody Game 2,
I wanted to join and show people the sides of me that I hadn't before.
I wanted to make up for what I couldn't achieve last time.
But when I ended up in the wild right away,
I told myself I knew it would turn out this way.
(Dex was sent to the Survival Zone outside on his first day.)
(Even my clothes, I want to rip them up.)
(They stink so much.)
(Even in the inhospitable environment, he didn't hold back physically.)
(The Day of Ambush)
(Hitting)
(He got through Ha Seung Jin for a successful ambush.)
I was nominated for Deathmatches more than anyone else,
and played several rounds.
(I will now reveal the results of the nominations.)
(Dex was nominated to play in the Deathmatch numerous times.)
(How many times have I been chosen?)
(His first Deathmatch)
I27.
(That is correct.)
S13.
(That is correct.)
(He won against Fujii Mina.)
(His second Deathmatch)
(I got it.)
(Dex has the right answer.)
(The Deathmatch survivor was Dex.)
Thank you.
I survived and went all the way to finals.
How did I get so far?
I was amazed and impressed with myself.
Even though I couldn't win against my opponent in the finals,
and think it's a shame that I came in second,
I think beating Jin Ho and coming in second in the overall game...
is a great honor for me.
I think this might be a greater honor than placing first.
If there's a Bloody Game 7,
I'll aim for first again then.
This was Dex.
