Genius Archer Streaming Season 3 Episode 175
58. Pandora’s Hope (1)
The result of the match between Joseon and Viking was 2:0.
Even if we don’t know the process, the result is a landslide victory for Joseon.
This caused quite a stir throughout the international competition.
“What? Joseon won 2 to 0?”
“So is it going to be Joseon vs. Persia?”
“I guess I really have to live a long time to see this.”
“Nonsense…….”
Various officials who participated in the national competition thought that Joseon’s limit was up to the finals.
“The underdog storm usually ends in the preliminaries.”
If you’re lucky, you can get through the preliminaries.
Because you only have to win one game against your opponent.
If you look at the preliminaries of Joseon, you can see that there are quite a few strategies that were designed with the mindset of only winning one game.
Even if you do that, there will be no problem passing the preliminaries.
But the main event was different.
“How did you win a best-of-five with that many players?”
This is because from the main event onwards, it is a ‘multiple-game system’ where you have to fight multiple times to win.
A match where you must win at least 2-3 games against your opponent each time you are matched up.
In these long-term matches that can last up to five rounds, there are few variables other than skill.
“Winning in a multi-party system is a different story… … .”
“Yes. It’s completely different.”
Single-elimination and multi-elimination matches have always been considered completely different categories in the world of eSports.
In a multi-game system, it is possible to understand the opponent’s strength and then reorganize the next game accordingly.
That is, the flexibility of the think tank and the stamina of the players.
Instead of the first-line players whose stamina has decreased, the second-line players who will receive weapons first will have to work harder… … The demands will be much greater.
To meet this demand, the power of capital was often needed more than anything else.
Since Joseon is the team that lacks the most capital, this is shocking news to the other teams.
“It seemed like the first line kept running.”
“Joseon’s skills will definitely decline from the second line onwards.”
“Could it be because of the map selection?”
“We were able to win by a score of 2 to 0. If we had played all three games, who knows what would have happened.”
Other teams tried to make sense of this news by making excuses, such as Joseon’s map selection was important, or that they actually won because they had won two games in a row.
That is how difficult it is to understand Joseon’s current actions and how threatening they are.
“Damn, teams I never thought of are starting to rise.”
“under…….”
The reason was simple.
The difference is whether you are prepared or not.
If someone you know says they’re good at it, you can probably imagine how they did it.
In the main event, Joseon is truly a newcomer.
Nobody really knows how they fight or how they think.
If it weren’t for the team that was going to face Joseon, I wouldn’t have paid much attention.
In the meantime, Joseon will be completely defeated by the Vikings, so there will be chaos.
Because I don’t know how to deal with it.
This was especially true for Persia, who would soon face their next opponent.
“……Shipbuilding?”
Persian commander-in-chief ‘Elipher’ hears the news after the game ends.
“Joseon has come up?”
He looked quite embarrassed.
He was all smiles until the moment he did the victory interview.
His expression is now frozen stiff.
“What’s the score?”
“They say it’s 2 to 0.”
“… … .”
Elipher nodded, slowly savoring the score, and packed his coat.
“It was an unexpected ambush.”
I’ve thought a lot about the Vikings, but I haven’t prepared much for Joseon.
The problem is that the gap between the round of 32 and the round of 16 is very short.
‘There is no time to prepare.’
In the round of 16, all preparations against Viking were in vain. We had to start over from scratch.
“Just extract the key points from the game and send them to me. Call a think tank meeting. I’m going to sleep well today.”
The round of 32 and the round of 16 take place in just two days.
There is only one day left.
He took out his phone and headed to the live broadcast of the national competition to watch the highlights of the game.
There was a channel that broadcast the Joseon War, not the Persian War.
Elipher went into the channel without really thinking and turned on the broadcast.
If there was a highlight, I would watch it, or else I would go back through the live broadcast timeline and watch it again.

[I think we will win.]
[Uh… … Okay, confidence! Good?! But why do you think that?]
[Because you can’t put an elephant in a capsule.]
‘What are you talking about, this kid?’
Elipher’s face hardens.
And then the last words come, like a finishing blow to that hardened face.
With English sub*itles.
[Because your civilization says elephants are better at games than players.]
A mess.
Elipher’s calm face cracks and becomes distorted.
* * *
The ripple effect of Joseon’s victory was not just tension.
I don’t know what it was like for those who had to fight them, but for the fans, it was a festive atmosphere.
That is, this is excitement, not tension.
Joohyuk’s computer suddenly slows down.
“Oww, rec… … .”
The community server is overcrowded.
Small communities like Embul eventually went down, and even ReelPro’s server started to go back and forth between life and death several times.
Still, Joohyuk barely manages to get in and check the general reaction.
[Next Persian Match Prediction]
[Breaking News] Tickets to Osaka Sold Out]
[The devil’s re-summoning in the interview ㄷㄷ]
[Ah, if I had known this would happen, I would have gone and seen it ㅠㅠㅠ]
[It was a truly legendary match]
.
.
.
The scroll eventually stopped.
“What… … It stopped.”
Among the numerous windows that Joohyuk had opened, several had become dead.
“hmm.”
Still, Joohyuk didn’t really care.
In the first place, he had only put it up to see the community’s reaction as something to look at.
“Well, it doesn’t matter.”
We won the game today so beautifully, and no matter how mean the online community is, this is a place where people who love games gather.
There wasn’t a single person who said anything unpleasant.
Big) Never doubt the Cuban again
Big) Taejeong Taesemun Danseku… …
Big) The palace palace faction that popular kids like to wear
Big) Almond: Winning Factor “Fashion”
They are just competing on the big bulletin board to see who can package this victory more coolly or more humorously.
If we compare this to a war between malicious commenters and almonds, then the Almond Air Force would indiscriminately bomb the malicious commenters’ country and turn it into a wasteland.
The situation was such that even Almond’s ground forces had already entered and were personally killing all the hidden resistance forces.
It could be expressed as a complete victory.
A great commander would not have been interested in a battlefield where a complete victory had already been achieved.
Joo-hyuk was the same.
He was already not interested in arguing about the outcome of the game.
I just went in as a habit and tried to scrape together some interesting reactions.
In fact, Jia will take care of scraping those things and use them for editing.
‘This is more important to me.’
Joohyuk’s gaze moves to another window.
The business of moving company money.
[Goods sales trend]
Goods is the only self-produced fund of the new company ‘Mixnuts’.
Joohyuk considered this to be the most important business for the company at the moment.
So, he started writing down what he had analyzed while looking at the sales trend graph.
Then I went to a famous portal to do a quick search.
Originally, it was to see the sales volume of shopping malls provided by this portal.
‘uh?’
There was one main article from a famous portal that caught his eye.
[The talk of the town: “Fake National Team” Their victory was “real”.]
It was an article from a major media outlet.
‘Up to here?’
This was not just a report saying that they had defeated the Vikings by a few to one, but an article with proper content.
Even looking at the number of comments, it was unusual.
So Joohyuk is looking at the news rankings on the portal right now.
“!?”
I was shocked.
“1st……?”
The article was ranked number one on the portal.
“and.”
Of course there are cases like that.
Even people or events that don’t usually receive much attention can become a hot topic if an article breaks out at the right time.
Civil Empire would probably be the same case.
A well-shot article, in a situation where there is a huge amount of traffic as a result of the first win in the main event.
and…….
‘Ah. The dinner party edition!’
Tiring.
[Fake National Team ep.6 Fashion National Team]
It was also the timing when the fake national team that had been postponed was uploaded.
* * *
Jiiing.
The cell phone in Sang-Hyeon’s pocket rings.
[Almond Channel Upload Notification]
[Fake National Team ep.6 Fashion National Team]
It was a notification informing of a video uploaded to his channel.
However, Sang-Hyeon did not check the notification.
He was just blankly staring at the person who had just arrived at the door.
‘This guy… … came all the way here?’
It was Song Hana.
He is a doctor who studies his arms and love legs.
Although she is a doctor, she is honestly closer to a researcher, and her staff members are not doctors, but call her director.
By the way, I thought you were busy, so what are you doing here?
You didn’t come to the hospital to catch me?
nonsense.
“Mr. Sang-Hyeon. You blocked me, right?”
Song Ha Na was smiling brightly, but there was something scary about her eyes.
“Ah… … No?”
“Oh. Really? So you’re calling now?”
lol.
“… … .”
Sang-Hyeon eventually admitted that he had blocked her.
“Oh my. First, put on some clothes and come out. I think I know why you were blocked. I’ll wait here in the hotel lobby. I have something to tell you… .”
“ah…….”
It was only then that Sang-Hyeon realized that his top was half-off.
I was so flustered that I forgot about this person, since I thought I would never meet him here.
“Why clothes?”
‘huh?’
But then, suddenly, another voice was heard. Someone poked their head out from next to the door.
It was a head sticking out from a position much lower than Song Ha-na’s head.
It was the height of a very young child, or someone sitting in a wheelchair and holding out their hand.
She stuck her face out and quickly covered her eyes with her hands.
“ah.”
Even if you spread your fingers out like that, wouldn’t you still be able to see everything?
“See you in the lobby.”
Whoosh.
She quickly shook her head and headed toward the lobby.
* * *
After getting dressed properly, Sang-Hyeon headed to the lobby.
On the sofa in the hotel lobby sat Song Ha-na and a Western man, with Choi Sa-rang sitting across from them.
‘What’s going on?’
Sang-Hyeon’s expression wasn’t very good because the person he had been trying so hard to avoid had come to visit him.
Since Choi Sarang came with me, I think I might be able to hear something.
She is as sensitive to this matter as I am, so I doubt she would tell me to come and go with false information.
“Hello. It’s a proper greeting. Is it nice to see you in a foreign land?”
haha.
Song Ha-na smiled brightly and introduced the man next to her.
“I told you that I sent my research to the US, right? He’s from that research institute.”
The man bowed awkwardly as if trying to follow Korean etiquette.
He introduced himself as ‘Nathan’.
Sang-Hyeon couldn’t understand any other mumbling.
He just sat next to her, looking at Choi Sarang.
I thought she would at least give me an idea of what was going on with a wink, but Sarang just stared at Song Ha-na.
“First of all, I want to say I’m sorry.”
Song Ha Na spoke up.
sorry?
Sang-Hyeon was already feeling anxious and his heart was pounding.
I haven’t been to the doctor’s office in a few days. Is something wrong?
“I… … am the best in our country in this field of research, but I’m not really a doctor… … so I don’t know much about the human mind or counseling methods… … .”
Of course, I have a medical license.
“In the US and Korea at the same time…” Song Ha-na added, scratching her head.
‘What are you trying to say?’
Sang-Hyeon stared at her intently, waiting for her to speak.
gulp.
I even swallowed dry saliva due to the tension.
He, who rarely gets nervous, gets nervous as soon as this topic comes up, like an introverted student who is singing in front of his classmates for the first time in his life.
Sang-Hyeon hated feeling this way.
I hated this situation.
This tension didn’t always end well.
This trembling is remembered by him not as excitement, but as anxiety.
