Coupang Play‘s entertainment show ‘University War’, which has been receiving constant rave reviews for its all-time ‘brain-based’ battles between geniuses, is raising expectations by revealing its second main match through a pre-released clip of Episode 4.

‘University War’ is a 100% reality brain battle survival show where the top 1% of true geniuses from the most prestigious universities in Korea compete using only their brains. Since its first release on the 15th, it has maintained its number 1 spot on Coupang Play’s popularity list, receiving an explosive response with close to 40,000 reviews and an average rating of 4.5.

In the meantime, after the elimination of Korea University and MIT in the previous 3rd episode, ‘Seoul National University-Yonsei University-KAIST-Pohang University of Science and Technology-Oxford’ clashed in a ‘Pyramid Game’ for the second benefit. In the released preview video of the 4th game, the outlines of the schools that will participate in the death match were not revealed, and the rules of the second main match, ‘Blank CSAT’, which will unfold soon, were revealed, stimulating curiosity.

‘Blank CSAT’ is a game where you have to guess the answers to the November CSAT questions based on the results of 10 mock exams. It astonished the participants with its unconventional rule of only having answer sheets and no test papers, as well as its extreme difficulty. In the ‘Blank CSAT’, which requires advanced strategy and sense, a school that got all the questions right and got a perfect score of 210 points has emerged, and expectations are rising for the outstanding brain play of the top 1% geniuses who will crush even the most difficult questions.

Meanwhile, ‘University Wars’ is released every Friday at 8 PM on Coupang Play.
