Blow-up conjecture for maximally imbalanced strongly playable RPS games

From papers

An mm-player (2n+1)(2n+1)-RPSRPS game is a game with 2n+12n+1 objects and mm players interacting through the paper's RPSRPS payoff structure. A blow-up of a game G1G_1 at an object replaces that object by a copy of another game G2G_2, with strategies and payoffs induced by the corresponding projection. Let m<nm<n, and let G1G_1 be the most imbalanced yet strongly playable (2m+1)(2m+1)-RPSRPS game. Let G2G_2 be the most imbalanced yet strongly playable (2(nm)+1)(2(n-m)+1)-RPSRPS game. Blow-up conjecture. The most imbalanced yet strongly playable mm-player (2n+1)(2n+1)-RPSRPS game is equivalent to the blow up of G1G_1 with G2G_2 at the most balanced object of G1G_1. The preceding construction describes blow-ups and gives the relevant equilibrium correspondence, but the stated equivalence is left as a conjecture in the source.
