[ THEORY ]

Yesterday, during the end of the episode, we got this (photo below). Later on, mnet posted something with the caption "Real competition begins". At first I didn't understand what exactly that would mean but now after some time passed, I've got a few ideas on mind.

I-Land vs Ground. That makes me think that in the show, the two teams will be put directly against each other. They could perform as a group in front of the other team. The criterias for forming a score could be changed as well. Tests could be the same for both groups and (+)

the team that does better than the other gets to win. If the winning team is I-Land, they could get to keep their whole group without eliminations or they could just go through the same process - the higher the score, the less members get eliminated. If the winning team (+)

is Ground, they get to send people to I-Land (number of people could depend on the final score they got).

There's one another scenario though. I-Land vs Ground could compete individually against each other. That's what I believe in the most. (+)

Take a look at this photo. We can see two of the boys standing in front of each other, holding microphones in hand and performing. I think that's representatives of the two different teams. Whoever one does better gets a higher score meaning his group's score gets bigger too (+)

The competition between two individuals could just determine the score of their teams but there could be something else as well. It's possible that if Ground member does better than I-Land member, their places immediately get exchanged. In this way, Grounders will be (+)

competing directly against I-Landers for taking their spot and I-Landers could be competing for keeping their spot.

That's all, guys. If you have any thoughts, share them with me, I'm curious to hear your theories too~

There's one another possible scenario. As we can see,boys on these photos wear the same clothes as each other.That can either confirm my theory about the two teams competing individually + together (in small groups) against opposite team OR it could mean a whole another thing.(+)

It could mean that there are teams in the team. In both I-Land and Ground, there could be formed groups with different amount of members. It's possible that these little groups of a team can go against each other in a competition. As an example, two groups of Ground (+)

could compete against each other. The winner group gets to go to I-Land. In I-Land, two groups can compete against each other and the winner group gets to stay, the other one gets sent to the Ground.

Today we got this post by mnet. Take a careful look at the words "Representative Unit Test". That confirms my theory about existence of units in the both teams. What we know for sure now is that there are confirmed units! This could go both ways:

1.Units of the different (+)

teams compete against each other. Unit of I-Land vs unit of Ground. That's the most possible way things could go.

2. These units will compete among themselves in the team. Ground unit vs Ground unit. I-Land unit vs I-Land unit. It's unlikely, but still a possible scenario

Also, what will the winners get?

A few possible scenarios again:

1st - If Unit A (Ground) does better than Unit B (I-Land) the whole unit A takes the place of Unit B. Unit A goes to I-Land, Unit B goes to Ground. Unit A competes to take their spot in I-Land,Unit B competes
(+)

to keep their spot in I-Land.

2st - Only the best members of Unit A get to go to I-Land. The ones with lower score stay in Ground. The ones with lowest score of unit I-Land get sent to Ground. The ones with higher score keep their spot in I-Land.

(+)

3rd - Each unit is going to get score. The individual score of a unit forms the group score. In the end if Team Ground has a bigger group score than Team I-Land, they go to I-Land and change places with I-Landers. If Team I-Land has higher group score than team Ground, they
(+)

keep their place in I-Land. That's a very possible scenario because many times we heard the words "Dynamics will change", " Things will switch up" and etc...
