It is a team effort & they are very blessed to have each other to work with and to have Max in that team. I like that Max is always very unassuming and doesn’t ever look smug despite his being so knowledgeable.

[@BadBrucey]

They all collaborate and confer with each other on a wide variety of topics. When it comes to geography though Zeng is like -BOOM "Yeah, I got this."

[@contactkelvinsim]

Mays is the CEO but seeks Jackson the Chairman for approval. Sheriff's the Corporate Secretary and Max just does all his work in his tiny cubicle behind the stockroom

@@alforest9634 don't share the same opinion. I think Mays was an excellent captain and knows some obscure stuff. Jackson seems to be the most knowledgeable in music in the team.

[@Lamal177]

All of the 4 got some really tough ones right. All 4 of them deserve the price. But Zeng seems to have a cartographic/photographic memory. You can see him sometimes drawing maps in the air with his fingers. Thats why he also knows the periodic table with all correspondent values by heart. During questions about music or culture, he is normally not as strong, maybe because he has not come across those topics yet. I think people admire Zeng therefor the most, because the knowledge he deliveres is the most remote kind of intelligence we dont witness every day, and on top of that he is incredibly fast to access all these names in his brain. Truly fascinating.

[@fredfrond6148]

Nobody beats Max. But nobody touches Max at Geography.

[@utopian123]

or the periodic table

[@petrushka2]

Imperial is strong with 2 Master's students, a PhD student and an MVP undergrad. St John's Cambridge fielded all 4 undergraduates, and came away losing with a very high score.

[@Pen2paw]

Zeng's presence is really intimidating to the other team. The Imperial team is overall better than the other team.

[@CoolBroNDude]

Mays is the guy who’s well rounded, zeng is like the chem-geo guy. Both impressive guys!

[@dagobertodominguez4624]

The team overall is very strong but Max's stunning geography knowledge gives them the extra points to completely crush their opponents

[@acct5910]

His geography knowledge lets the rest of the team focus on other subjects.

[@viiecks]

I think they all have their strengths in different subjects which is what truly makes them unbeatable.

[@toriishinto3074]

Zheng's contributed 45% of the score. Let that sink in. He can literally take any one of his teammates, go on stage and 2 v 4 the rest.

[@kuroro4958]

I think Zeng is definitely a beast and a wild card but Mays is definitely the MVP. From what I’ve watched he’s great at deducing answers due to his vast knowledge on different topics. There are many occurrences wherein Mays would ask Zeng, Sherif and Jackson what would have happened in a particular year, or give them choices based on what he knows and help them deduce the right answer. He also has great intuition as to what he thinks is right or wrong and it also helps that he seems like a very easygoing leader who knows his team well. He’s definitely the key player that will help Imperial win.

[@user-xf7rq7uu9g]

Jackson and Mays keep on discussing together each time they wanna give an answer, leaving out Max and Sheriff. It makes the team look awkward.

[@cheesecake7143]

@@imthecoolest50 been wondering about that. Are they strangers to each other? Like new friends? Mays and Jackson looks really close and May always discussed it with Jackson. But in the later round, May did finally turn to Zeng and Sheriff

It depends on the type of question. Geography and periodic tables go to Zheng. Literature goes the Sheriff. Arts goes to Jackson.

[@hrdgms27]

Short answer, yes, he is the MVP. Gotta give credit where credit is die

[@perfectvita]

But don't put down the other members. Why include a total of how many points each got at the top right of your video? 😅 They are a team...

[@liculle]

To be fair this video was seeking to answer if Max really was the MVP for this team in this particular episode. So it makes sense to keep a tally of the others' scores for comparison.
