Should Gi-Hun have convinced the Os…

…to form the revolt instead?

Gi-Hun’s primary motive is to end the games, and his secondary motive is to save most players, primarily by convincing everyone to vote X.

Assume equal amounts of O and X players survive the night fight, an X-heavy revolt failing would cause an O-majority and thus a continuation of the Games, as we saw in the series. Conversely, An O-heavy revolt failing would create an X-majority that takes everyone home.

Additionally, what motive do most other Xs have to end the Games? I would assume not much — their primary motive is to go home. Now, the Os have much more reason to do the rebellion: the Games are willing to throw 456**億**won to a rando, that means they have so much more money to themselves, and the players can get this money if the coup is successful; and if we take the Games down for good, no more games will happen, no more players, no more prize money, no one getting rich after us.

So how could this be written in the series? I have some ideas.

A: Gi-Hun, an X, approaches the Os in their turf, they mock him, telling him that he will never be able to convince them to switch. Gi-Hun says he’s not going to, and presents the rebellion.

B: The vote starts from 1 to 456 (instead of the canon 456 to 1). They’ve reached 49 O and 50 X, but Gi-Hun, the last person, switches to O. Moving over to the Os, they tell Gi-Hun something like “So you finally understand huh,” to which he replies explaining that his main motive is not to save everyone but to end the Games, and finally recruiting them into his revolt.

So yeah this would probably be my second-favorite alternate route here, behind the “Gi-Hun convinces everyone to hold the 50-50 tie”.
