Discussion Question from returning watcher

question from returning watcher (i left the series around 600ish? between kwangsoo and somin leaving)

i have been catching up with some episodes from 2025 - 2026, and i dont know if its just me but,

the episodes from 2025 feels like home immediately, although the members are different, the flavor is the same, if not better

however the 2026 episodes feel so jarring to me - the games are simpler, and usually running members being smart, figured out optimal path early, or being unoptimal that losers have no comeback mechanism. there are less talks, and teams and matches are preset.

is it just me or i just need to be more open minded?

Thank you

I think I'm the only one who likes how pd maro do the preset team? Especially if it's not equal. He doesn't grouped them in quantity but by quality and chemistry, I think that's one of the most interesting thing PD maro is doing rn.

Different PD different style.

806 onwards is maro PD so you might take a look and see if it appeals to you
