KINGDOM - EPISODE 4 [PATREON EXCLUSIVE]

ateez wins the first half of the evaluation from round one (the expert and self evaluation) so ateez gets 10,000 points but skz gets the other half because they were first place for all the global evaluations (voting and streaming) so skz gets 10,000 points as well. skz is doing really well actually they’re ahead of everyone because of the 1,000 points they won from the introduction round. ig next episode well find out if the rankings changed.

basically skz is leading in kingdom right now overall because views and global voting is worth more i believe, and then they're second for experts and sharing second with btob for self evaluation plus they have the benefit points from the first round so they aren't doing bad at all. also for when the performances go up, they go up right after the episode ends but they only count the views for the first 3 days, just like how they'd count the views for next weeks performances (i was also confused the first time they dropped the performances a week ahead bc then the first weeks group would've had an advantage or if they counted the views for the second weeks groups then the first week group would be at an disadvantage.. mnet is just really confusing lol)

yea the editing of this show is weird lol cant believe they just put the results on a slide at the end and they didnt even show us the overall point allocation hahah

regarding the boyz's criticism from the "experts" i personally don't think they should be holding it over the fact that tbz won rtk and so that fans would feel like their performances are underwhelming, i get it was road to kingdom which was first before kingdom but this is a different competition.. tbz already mentioned from the beginning that they don't know how they'll outdo rtk performances but they're trying their hardest. idk maybe its just me but i felt like that was kind of unfair
