The Genius: Grand Final
The fourth and final season of The Genius.
Twists:
Garnet Matches: Main Matches where the player(s) with the most garnets win a Token of Life and the player with the fewest garnets becomes the Elimination Candidate. Players are typically warned a Garnet Match is approaching one or two episodes ahead of time.
Archivist's note - This twist becomes a staple in ORGs and is thus not considered a twist for all future entries
Returning Death Matches: All Death Matches in the season are reused from previous seasons.
Death Match Bans: The available pool of Death Matches are known to players ahead of time. Death Match participants may ban a certain number of games from the pool.
Garnet Confiscation: The garnets held by the loser of the Death Match are removed from the game instead of being given to their opponent. This rule is removed in Final 3.
Archivist's note - This is a format change carried over to future Korean Genius seasons and almost all ORGs.
