Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 3 Episode 172
57. First (1)
Paang…!
The sound of the plane’s blast ringing like a gunshot.
It was from this time.
To Almond, all of this seemed slow.
The war hit the Viking commander’s head.
His whole body begins to sway and fall.
Ting….
The bowstring, which had been pulled taut just moments ago, flutters as if dancing.
All the Joseon soldiers raised their hands in unison, opened their mouths wide, and shouted. Everyone in the archer unit took a step towards Almond. Their facial expressions are all dynamic. His mouth opened wide and his eyes widened as if he were swallowing all the air.
“Joseooooooooooo…!”
The broadcasting staff suddenly stood up and their chairs fell backwards.
The audience also stood up. Almond popcorn flew around. They opened their mouths and shouted loudly without even swallowing the whole thing.
Some people went beyond standing up and jumped onto chairs, making it seem as if they were levitating.
The Taegeukgi is unfurled.
The skin of the drum of the cheering squad playing the drum is deeply dented.
Kuung──
And the commander-in-chief’s head touched the ground.
Only then did it reach Almond’s ears.
“Waaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”
Lightning struck the stadium.
It is a lightning strike made of sound, not light.
Everything came back to normal again.
“Shipbuilding! I’m going to put a pig’s meat on the head of the commander-in-chief! This is Joseon! “This is bow civilization!!”
The broadcast crew shouts, blood rising in their necks.
[Victory]
At the same time the game system declares victory for Joseon.
The two shouted, shaking their fists in the air.
“Rat~ Ratiiiiii!!!”
Red cheers fill the stadium once again.
-ㅠㅠㅠ
-Wow
-They really won
-Kya
-I did it
* * *
Joseon beat the Vikings.
This breaking news goes beyond the field and spreads faster than anywhere else online.
From the moment we entered the 4th era, articles that had been prepared began pouring out of game webzines.
[Cookie’s strategy that stands out by defeating the Vikings 2:0]
[The not-so-pleasant “rebellion” Joseon Vikings “completely defeated” 2:0]
[The “literary man’s strategy” that defeated the “armed Vikings” in the Battle of Nations Joseon]
First of all, The articles announcing Joseon’s victory were first.
All the headlines were worded differently, but their meaning was the same.
Joseon, ranked last, defeated Viking, ranked high in the power rankings, 2:0.
The number of comments multiplied quickly.
-I watched the game today and it was so impressive that I thought I would watch it again on repeat
└Really ㅠㅠㅠ
└The game that stole Valhalla may be the all-time number one
in this national competition └222 That’s right. It’s romantic to have a war in the 4th era lol Even Chetamin ㄷㄷㄷ
Joseon is the 2nd generation The fact that they were completely defeated by 0 left a strong impression.
Since the article was posted on a gaming webzine, netizens focused on the content of the game.
This is because the 4th era all-out war that people who like this game liked in the first place was released.
-Wow, I thought Joseon could win. I didn’t know that I would see the battle of the Battle Course Carrier and watched the space war
└ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ
└ Ajae …
└ Medieval space war ㄹㅇ ㅋㅋㅋ
└ I thought I would win
even if I won it. No one thought they would win in such an all-out war.
Even Cookie didn’t plan to do this, so it was truly a process that no one expected and resulted in a twist.
So the reaction was bound to be hot.
It wasn’t just a webzine article.
The community began to stutter as numerous posts exploded.
Of course, Embul was on the verge of exploding, and it was at a size that made even Lil Pro dangerous.
[It’s truly legendary for the underdog to win with a romantic victory]
[What? Fake national team??? To me, this is real…]
[Wow, I’m so touched that I can’t express it in words ㅠㅠㅠ]
In particular, there were a lot of compliments from MBUL, which has a high strategic eye, that Cookie’s latest strategy stood out.
[Just a landslide win for Cookie from the Gungangung strategy in the first game]
[Cookie is the only one who used the map selection like an asshole (I have information)]
[Cooberji ㅠㅠㅠ Shiva ㅠㅠㅠㅠ Is he finally seeing the lightㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ]
[ I’ve been a fan of Cookie since I was a rookie 5 years agoㅠㅠㅠ Ahㅠㅠㅠㅠ]
There were especially Cookie fans in Mbull.
This was not a fandom formed in one or two days.
Although the number may be small, they are true fans who have supported Cookie, who has never advanced to the finals other than as a rookie.
There were probably many people who actually cried, not just left signs of crying through text.
When Lee Tae-yong, who was the general commander five years ago, was caught on camera.
And when I saw him wiping his eyes in excitement at his victory.
Many people would have already followed him in tears.
The caster also shouts into the microphone as if he is thrilled.
“Ah now! I’m shining a light on former commander Lee Taeyong! That’s right! Joseon! You did it! Since the founding of the National Competition! Joseon’s first victory in the finals! “This is my first win of the tournament!”
“yes! The spark ignited by Taeyong Lee! Finally, it’s in Cookie’s hands! Finally, we start our first fire! 5 years! It took five years!”
“Without any compensation! They ran for 5 years! Now via Civil Empire! All over the world! Joseon is also possible! “I’m shouting!”
Waaaaaaa!
The broadcasters’ voices were momentarily drowned out by the cheers of the audience.
This is because the capsules are now opening one by one.
But the broadcasters didn’t care.
Instead, the blood in their necks rose even more and they were encouraging them to cheer more and shout more.
“yes! more! more! Please cheer! Now the players are out! proud! Of Korea! “Players!”
Both teams’ capsules were opened and the players stepped onto the field one by one.
* * *
The moment when the actual cheers of the audience reach your ears after the capsule lid is opened.
“Waaaaaaaa!!!”
Only then did Sanghyun realize it.
‘I won.’
You won.
Joseon advanced to the round of 16. And that too, beating the Vikings 2:0.
This is the first victory in the finals in history.
“Waaaaaa!!”
Amidst warm cheers.
“almond! almond! almond!”
His name was chanted.
Sang-hyeon unconsciously clutches his hand to his chest. Something hot throbbed somewhere in my chest.
“almond! almond…!”
I hear his name endlessly.
Korean spectators only occupy a quarter of the stadium.
I take a spin along the circular sky and look at the stadium.
Sanghyun felt as if this shout was coming from all directions in the entire stadium.
I’ve had this experience before in Nant battles as well.
‘different.’
At that time, it was not a real stadium, but a virtual reality.
As expected, the reality is different.
I feel it through my skin.
The cheers of the fans penetrate my skin, vibrate through my bones, and pierce my heart.
Boom, boom, boom, boom….
The vibrations and waves they create spread through the blood vessels to every corner of the body.
The enormous energy currents of these countless people are all shot towards one person, Yoo Sang-hyeon, and it inhabits his entire body.
It’s a shame to summarize this entire process of electricity flowing with the word ‘exhilarating.’
Sanghyeon would rather use this expression.
* * *
After a while.
This is a simple interview zone next to the players’ waiting room.
They called in Sanghyun and several other players to ask questions for a brief interview before selecting the MVP.
“You achieved your first victory in the finals. “Can you briefly tell us how you felt when you won?”
In response to these words, Sanghyun shared what he had been thinking about earlier.
“I don’t want to turn back time now…”
“Oh… yes?”
The fake national university writer he was interviewing looked at him again in surprise for a moment.
“I felt that way. “I don’t want to turn back time anymore.”
“….”
The answer the production team received was something the production team had never expected.
It was definitely an unexpected answer, but I could understand it without any explanation.
“What… does that mean?”
His voice is trembling, as if he already knows what it means, but since it is an interview, he asks one more time.
“I think it would be good if you could explain it a little more to the city’s viewers.”
Sanghyeon nods his head, thinks for a moment, and then speaks slowly.
“This is the first time I’ve had this thought, even for a moment.”
Sanghyeon’s voice was also quite trembling.
It’s not because of tension.
His voice does not tremble with nervousness.
When I think back later, I think this is fear.
He is afraid of himself for feeling this way.
Still, I thought it had to be captured on video.
I said I changed like this for the sake of those who care about me.
I wanted to tell you.
Yes.
During this national competition, Sanghyeon experienced many changes.
There was probably a bigger change than what I experienced when I first quit my job and started streaming.
Maybe this feeling is just a momentary rush. It may be a fleeting impulse. But even that had meaning.
Because I’ve never thought about it like this even for a moment. Because there was never a moment when he didn’t stop drawing about the past.
As the crowd cheered, he thought for a moment that it would be nice not to have to go back to that time.
He barely opens his trembling lips and continues speaking.
“Because my arms became like this….”
“Ah, Almond!”
One of the staff members came in and urgently called him out.
Look at the hand gestures and figure out what’s going on.
Almond stopped talking and stood up.
“I’ll tell you about this later.”
“Oh yes yes.”
The author nodded repeatedly and guided him toward the exit.
When I went outside, I saw my face floating on a big screen.
* * *
MVP was selected.
One MVP per game.
[set1: AAlmond]
[set2: Coffee]
They were almond and coffee, respectively.
“Hey!? coffee!? “Coffee is now MVP for the first time!”
“Ahhh! That’s right! Is this encouraging!? of course! 2 sets! It was very deserved! Clear the way for the Chetam people! “It was a series of appropriate decisions!”
-Wow
– Coffee ㄷㄷ
-ㅊㅊㅊㅊ
-Kya
– Impressed ㅠㅠㅠ
“Now. And Almond player. As expected, it was a great performance. Since you are the MVP of the first set, shall I explain first?”
The broadcasting team begins to explain the reasons for this selection while looking at various indicators.
“yes! 1 set of almonds! Koreans are like that, right!? So…”
After spitting out these words, King Gyul was silent for a moment.
“Is that the end? “Are Koreans MVPs because they are ah?”
“no. “I was just skipping the screen for a moment…”
– Look at the timing haha
– Is this the end
haha – Hahaha
– “Almond even if I freeze to death”
– What haha
King Gyul found the data and told the story of why Almond became the MVP. They start talking.
“First, look at this deal amount graph. I just pierced it. everyone. This is not a reel. This is Civil Empire. But the deal graph is like this!”
-ㄷㄷ
-You’re crazy hahaha
-Wow
-Carryu
-K
-Really wakaya ㅁㅊ
The amount of damage wasn’t the only indicator that Kinggyul wanted to emphasize.
“Look at this too.”
The moment Caster saw the next indicator, his eyes widened.
That’s not all.
-?
-Kya -Huh
? Haha
– Huh
-ㄷㄷㄷ
-ke
Only exclamations came out in the chat window.
