Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 3 Episode 175
58. Pandora’s Hope (1)
The result of the match between Joseon and Viking is 2:0.
I don’t know the process, but the result is a landslide victory for Joseon.
This caused quite a stir throughout the national competition.
“what? Joseon 2 to 0?”
“So it’s Joseon vs. Persia?”
“It’s really something to see if you live a long time.”
“It doesn’t make sense….”
Various officials who participated in the national competition thought that Joseon’s limit was to reach the finals.
“The underdog sensation usually ends in the preliminaries.”
If you are lucky, you can make it through the preliminaries.
Because you only have to beat your opponent once.
If you look at Joseon’s preliminaries, you can see quite a few strategies developed with the mindset of winning only one game.
If you do that, you won’t have any trouble passing the preliminaries.
But the finals were different.
“How did they win the multi-game series with that kind of player pool?”
This is because the finals are a ‘multi-game system’ where you have to fight multiple times to win.
Each time there is a matchup, it is a game where you have to beat your opponent at least 2 to 3 games.
In this long-term match that extends up to five rounds, there are almost no variables other than skill.
“Winning in multiple games is a different story…”
“That’s right. “It’s completely different.”
Single match and multi-match matches have always been regarded as completely different types in the e-sports world.
This is because in a multi-game game, it is possible to understand the opponent’s strength and reorganize the next game accordingly.
That is, the flexibility of the think tank and the stamina of the players.
Much more is required, such as the skills of the second-line players who will receive weapons first instead of the first-line players whose physical strength has decreased.
To meet these requirements, the power of capital was often needed more than anything else.
This is shocking news to other teams, as the team that lacks the most capital is Chosun.
“It seems like the first line continued to run.”
“Joseon’s skills decline significantly from the second line.”
“Isn’t it because of the map selection?”
“At least we were able to win by winning 2-0. “I don’t know what would have happened if we had played the full three games.”
In order to understand this news, other teams came up with non-sophisticated excuses, such as that Chosun’s map selection was important, or that they won because they had won two games in a row.
That’s why Joseon’s current actions are difficult to understand and threatening.
“Damn, teams I never even thought about are starting to come up.”
“Ha…”
The reason was simple.
The difference is whether you are prepared or not.
If someone I knew said he was good at it, I could roughly imagine how he did it well.
In the finals, Chosun is truly a newcomer.
No one really knows how they fight or what they think.
If it wasn’t for the team that was going to face Joseon, I wouldn’t have paid much attention to it.
In the meantime, Joseon completely defeated the Vikings, so it would be confusing.
Because I don’t know how to deal with it.
This was especially true for Persia, who would soon be the next opponent.
“…Shipbuilding?”
Persia’s general commander ‘Elipher’ receives news after the game is over.
“Joseon has arrived?”
He looked quite embarrassed.
Until Seungri’s interview, he was all smiles.
Now his expression is stiff.
“What’s the score?”
“They say it’s 2 to 0.”
“….”
Elifer nodded as if he was slowly savoring the score and took his coat.
“It was an unexpected ambush.”
I’ve been thinking about Vikings quite a bit. No special preparations were made for Joseon.
The problem is that the period between the round of 32 and the round of 16 is very short.
‘There is no time to prepare.’
All preparations for the Vikings in the round of 16 came to nothing. I had to think again from the beginning.
“Just extract the key points of the game and send it to me. Convene a think tank meeting. “I didn’t sleep well today.”
The round of 32 and round of 16 will be held in just two days.
There is only one day left.
He took out his cell phone and headed to the live broadcast of the national competition to watch at least the highlights of the game.
There was a channel that broadcast the Joseon War, not the Persian War.
Without really thinking about anything, Elifer went to that channel and turned on the broadcast.
If there was a highlight, I would watch it, or I would turn back the live broadcast timeline and watch it again.
But…
[I think we will win.]
[Uh… Now, confidence! great?! But why do you think that?]
[Because you can’t put an elephant in a capsule.]
‘What are you saying? ‘This bastard.’
Elifer’s face hardens.
And the last words are heard as if the finishing blow is delivered to the hard surface of the face.
With English subtitles.
[In that civilization, elephants are said to be better at games than players.]
Wow.
The surface of Elifer’s calm face cracks and becomes distorted.
* * *
The impact of Joseon’s victory was not just tension.
No matter how it felt from the perspective of those who had to fight against them, it was a festive atmosphere from the fans’ perspective.
In other words, this is excitement, not tension.
Joo-hyuk’s computer suddenly slows down.
“Oh wow…”
There were too many people on the community server.
Small communities like Embul ended up going down, and ReLPro’s servers also started going back and forth between life and death several times.
Still, Joo-hyuk manages to go in and look at the general reaction.
[Next Persian match expected]
[Breaking news) Tickets to Osaka sold out]
[The devil in the interview has been resummoned]
[Oh, if I had known it would be like this, I would have gone and watched it ㅠㅠㅠ]
[It was a truly legendary match]
.
.
.
The scroll eventually stopped.
“What… it stopped.”
Among the numerous windows that Joo-hyuk had opened, several of them were not working.
“hmm.”
Nevertheless, Joo Hyuk didn’t really care.
In the first place, he was just putting it out there to see the community’s reaction as an eye candy.
“It doesn’t matter.”
We won today’s game so well, and no matter how mischievous the online community is, this is a place where people who all love games gather.
No one said anything they disliked.
Big) Don’t ever doubt Kubeji again
Big) Taejeongtaesemundanseku…
Big) Gungangung faction that celebrities like to wear
Big) Almond: The factor of victory “Fashion”
Just who is more stylish or funny about this victory? They’re just competing against each other on the Big bulletin board.
If you compare this to a war between haters and Almond, after the Almond Air Force devastated the country of haters with indiscriminate bombing.
Almond’s ground occupation forces have already entered the situation and personally killed the resistance forces hidden in various places.
It could be described as a complete victory.
A good commander would not have paid much attention to a battlefield where complete victory had already been achieved.
Joo Hyuk was the same.
He was no longer interested in arguing about the results of the game.
I just tried to get into it as a habit and get interesting reactions.
In fact, Jia will scrap it on her own and use it for editing.
‘This is more important to me.’
Joo-hyuk’s gaze moves to another window.
Moving the company’s money.
[Goods sales trend]
Goods are the only self-production fund for the new company ‘Mix Nuts’.
Joo Hyuk believed that this was the most important business for the company at present.
So, he started looking at the sales trend graph and writing down what he had analyzed.
Then, I went to a famous portal to search for a while.
Originally, it was to check the shopping mall sales provided by this portal.
‘uh?’
There was a main article on a famous portal that caught his eye.
[Jangan’s hot topic, “Fake national team.” Their victory was “real.”]
It was an article from the main media company.
‘From here?’
It was not a report-type article that simply beat the Vikings by a few blows, but an article with proper content.
Even looking at the number of comments, I was shocked.
So Joo Hyuk is now looking at the news rankings on the portal.
“!?”
I was shocked.
“1st…?”
The article was ranked first on the portal.
“and.”
Of course, there are cases like that.
Even people or events that normally do not receive much attention can become topical if an article is published at the right time.
Perhaps this is the case with Civil Empire as well.
This article was appropriately published in a situation where there was a huge amount of traffic following the first victory in the finals.
And….
‘Ah. Dinner party episode!’
Tiring.
[Fake national team ep.6 Fashion national team]
It was also the timing when the postponed fake national team was uploaded.
* * *
Jiying.
The cell phone in Sanghyun’s pocket beeps.
[Almond Channel Upload Notification]
[Fake National University ep.6 Fashion National University]
It was a notification announcing a video uploaded on his channel.
However, Sanghyun did not confirm the notification.
He was just staring blankly at the person who came to the door.
‘This person… did he come this far?’
It was Song Hana.
He is a doctor who studies his arms and legs of love.
Although she is said to be a doctor, she is honestly closer to a researcher, and all of her employees call her “Director” rather than “Doctor.”
Anyway, I thought you were a busy person, so what are you doing here?
Are you sure you didn’t go to the hospital and came to catch me?
nonsense.
“Mr. Sanghyun. “You blocked me, right?”
Song Hana was smiling brightly, but there was something scary about her eyes.
“Oh…no?”
“Hoo. is it so? “So are you on the phone now?”
lol.
“….”
Sanghyun eventually admitted that he had blocked it.
“Ugh. First of all, wear proper clothes and come out. I think I know why I was blocked. I’ll wait here in the hotel lobby. “I have something to tell you…”
“Ah…”
Only then did Sanghyun realize that he had half of his top off.
I was so embarrassed that I even forgot about this because it was someone I would never meet here.
“Why the clothes?”
‘huh?’
But suddenly another voice was heard. Someone stuck their head out from next to the door.
It was a head sticking out from a much lower position than Song Hana’s head.
It was at the height of a very young child or someone sitting in a wheelchair.
She exposed her face and quickly covered her eyes with her hands.
“ah.”
Even if you spread your fingers like that and cover it, you can still see everything, right?
“See you in the lobby.”
Swish.
She quickly shook her head and headed towards the lobby.
* * *
After Sanghyun got dressed properly, he headed to the lobby.
On the sofa in the hotel lobby, Song Ha-na and Choi Sarang were sitting across from a Western man.
‘What’s going on?’
Sang-hyeon’s expression wasn’t so good because the person he had been avoiding on purpose came to see him.
Considering that even Choi Sarang came with us, I think we might be able to hear some of the story.
She is also a person who is as sensitive to this matter as I am, so I am sure she will not tell you to come and go with false information.
“hello. I greet you properly. “Is it so nice to see you in a foreign country?”
haha.
Song Hana smiled brightly and introduced the man next to her.
“I said I sent research to America, right? “He is from that research institute.”
The man bowed awkwardly, perhaps trying to conform to Korean etiquette.
He introduced himself as ‘Nason’.
Sanghyun couldn’t understand the rest of the babbling.
He just sat next to Choi Sarang, looking at her.
I thought she would at least tell me what was going on with her eyes, but Sa-rang was just staring at Song Hana.
“First of all, I want to say I’m sorry.”
Song Hana spoke.
sorry?
Sanghyun’s heart was already racing and he became anxious.
Is there something wrong just because I haven’t been to the doctor a few times?
“It is true that I am the best in this field of research in Korea. In fact, I’m not a doctor… I don’t know much about the human mind or counseling methods…”
Of course, I have a medical license.
Song Hana scratches her head as she adds, “And that too in the U.S. and Korea at the same time.”
‘What do you want to say?’
Sanghyun stared at her, waiting for her to speak.
gulp.
I even swallowed my saliva out of nervousness.
He is rarely nervous, but whenever this topic comes up, he gets nervous, like an introverted student singing in front of his classmates for the first time in his life.
Sanghyun hated feeling this way.
I hated this situation.
This tension always didn’t end well.
He remembers this trembling as anxiety, not excitement.
