Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 3 Episode 285
93. 200 vs 200 (1)
Immediately after the first match.
The Chinese team’s waiting room.
Jump, jump, jump.
Janggi opened the refrigerator and took a gulp of beer.
“Hmm… Damn it! Jeeeeeenjang!”
He was drinking while holding back tears like a broken man.
This time, not even Liu Bei could stop him. This is because Yu-bi was also busy trying to get his mind together.
“….”
Liu Bei looked at the ground and said nothing, perhaps thinking deeply about something.
Even when I tried to talk to him, he didn’t even respond.
Guan Yu had to wonder if he was deaf. Judging by the fact that it didn’t react when I touched it, I thought it was deeply concentrating on something.
‘It’s a mess.’
As the eldest brother of this team, Guan Yu has played the role of a military leader.
Even though the team was in an awkward state right now, with all the soldiers saying nothing and just staring at the sky, they couldn’t take it easy.
In this case, if you touch it incorrectly, it will affect the next game.
However, it did not make sense to go straight to the next game in this state.
‘Being so helpless from that strategy earlier… wasn’t easy to bear.’
Cookie’s castle wall strategy.
If siege weapons had not been drawn out in advance, it would have been a foolish strategy to just open one’s eyes and attack the enemy.
If we had tried to make the Great Wall of China smaller, it would have been blocked more easily than expected.
Even that was not completed, and money was wasted and time was wasted, resulting in a complete defeat.
“Aaaah! done! There is also a version like this! uh!?”
Surprisingly, the thing that suddenly came to my senses was the equipment.
It looks like the alcohol has had a lot of effect.
“Everyone is like a bunch of broken-hearted people. What is this? wake up! “You don’t have to go into the next game and wipe it out!”
The soldiers seemed to come to life little by little as they were influenced by the energy of the equipment.
This is because the equipment sneaked into the gaps between the soldiers one by one, telling jokes and encouraging them.
“hey! you! That’s why you have a face like this! You should at least be good at games! uh?! “Can you tolerate losing to that handsome guy!?”
I don’t know if this can be called encouragement, but it worked anyway.
Except for Liu Bei.
“…2nd era…3rd era…2nd era….”
Liu Bei had been muttering the same words like a crazy person from before.
‘What on earth are you possessed by?’
In fact, everyone knew that what had just happened was the commander’s mistake.
This was unusual for a Chinese team.
Yubi was a perfectionist and a man who knew how to execute perfection.
However, as perfectionists always do… when you encounter a really big wall, you end up not being able to do anything.
‘Was the cookie that big of a wall?’
As Guan Yu, who does not know the commander well, he cannot understand.
Judging by Yubi’s reaction, I had to assume that was the case.
‘I had quite a history of dealing with Cookie before.’
What on earth is happening in Joseon? Is everyone playing as if they are someone else?
Guan Yu somehow approaches Liu Bei to encourage him again. Then—
someone opens the door roughly and comes in.
──Roar boom!
“It’s the 3rd era.”
He is Gong Myung, the head of a think tank.
He came with a confident look on his face and shouted to Liu Bei.
“It’s the 3rd era! So get up from your seat!!”
“!?”
Yubi blinked at his words and jumped up.
“How did you know?”
Gongmyeong once again came up with the guess that it was the 3rd era, giving various reasons that Guan Yu could not understand.
“What could be the reason Cookie rested for such a long time? Including right after the Persian War, I rested for over two weeks.”
“What?”
“To create a new Joseon build.”
“!”
“So far, Joseon has been creating variables focusing on the 1st and 2nd eras! Joseon’s real strength lies in its three eras. I’ve been cutting out standard builds to resolve this irony! What we caught was that we were wasting resources because we were afraid of the 1st and 2nd era. Otherwise! Will we be able to achieve the level of perfection of one game?”
In fact, it was a guess that was almost correct.
Except the reason the cookies were sour.
“But is there any guarantee that this game will also reach the 3rd era?”
“Cookie might not be satisfied yet.”
“…what?”
“I told you. “I will bring it to the standard.”
It was like that.
It was difficult to say that the first game was a regular victory.
Gong Myung elaborated, his keen eyes flashing.
“A commander’s desires are revealed in his command. Can’t you feel it? “He wants to beat us squarely.”
“!”
Yubi’s eyes widened.
He was truly surprised.
Joseon wants to win over China?
You want something crazy like that?
In the semifinals?
“Is that possible?”
Joseon cannot beat China squarely. This is not simply due to the gap between players.
A commander who has adapted to the unique difficulty of Chinese civilization will not lose to Joseon in a standard match.
Here, the standard battle refers to a game that starts with a plain battle after the normal 3rd era.
Although 3rd Era Joseon is superior to 3rd Era China.
In the case of a standard confrontation, the timing for the 4th era is determined fairly quickly, and China will definitely be able to go to the Ming Dynasty.
Simply fighting in the 3rd Age does not mean it is a 3rd Age confrontation.
In the end, it comes down to a showdown in the 4th era.
At this time, of course, China has an overwhelming advantage.
Of course, the four eras of Joseon are significant, but the Ming Dynasty is not a typical four eras.
The Ming Dynasty is considered the only five eras.
It may be difficult for the criminals to understand, but to experienced commanders, this is what the standard confrontation between Joseon and China sounded like.
It’s like Joseon is trying to beat the 5th era with the 4th era.
There is a very high risk of that happening.
“Why would you do something like that? In my view, the 2nd era is Mujo…”
Yu-bi, who was continuing his conversation, pauses.
It was because of Gongmyeong’s eyes that were glaring.
Something came to mind when I saw those eyes.
“!”
When he made eye contact with Cookie right after the game was over.
Those eyes.
Those eyes that looked like they were covered in something…
Only then did Yuvi realize.
Gong Myung’s words made sense.
“No way…”
There was a reason for them to come out as a regular match.
Even though the odds of losing were higher, there was a reason to take that bet.
“okay.”
Gongmyeong nodded.
“They. “I’m aiming to win.”
thud.
It was as if something huge had fallen into the waiting room. Maybe it’s static. Everyone looked at Gong Myung’s mouth blankly, covered in silence.
“The calculation is that if we don’t win in a regular match with China, we have no chance of winning in the finals anyway.”
* * *
Clap─Chiseung
and Heechul’s hands clapped together.
Immediately after Heechul came to the waiting room, Chiseung came running out.
“I’m tired!”
Pangeo and Maratang also give high fives to the think tank team.
“Chiseung-ah. Strategy prepared in the mountains. it was good.”
“What they do on site is amazing.”
Chi-seung wipes his nose and laughs.
Then I opened the notebook and drew a line.
One strategy to use in mountainous terrain was erased.
His notebook contained at least a couple of strategies for each terrain.
The advance wall was one of many strategies.
All of these strategies were created by a think tank that stayed up all night for a week.
Actually, I didn’t have time to practice all these strategies.
Nevertheless, Heechul told us to write down as many strategies for each terrain as possible.
Why in the first place? I was curious.
There isn’t enough time to practice, so why am I asking you to build up every strategy that comes to mind?
It wasn’t until recently that Chi-seung heard the answer to this question.
“Oh, I talked to Sanghyun for a while yesterday.”
Heechul mentioned his conversation with Sanghyun when they had a quick chat after the think tank meeting.
“I was curious. “Isn’t it difficult for people to know that kind of pain?”
Sanghyun revealed part of his past to the public, half willingly and half unwillingly.
“That’s usually the case. You shouldn’t show your weaknesses. “I asked if I had exposed my weakness.”
Heechul promised the production team that if he won, he would capture his situation on video.
“That’s true too… Sanghyeon said so.”
Surprisingly, Sanghyun did not deny that point.
“But strangely enough, since he openly showed his weakness, it turned out to be his strength at some point,”
Heechul said as he turned his head towards the window.
Perhaps at that moment he thought of his lover.
She carries this burden with him without anyone knowing.
“If you hide it, it may become a weakness. That’s what I thought…”
A wound only scabs when it comes into contact with air.
“Now I want to lighten my load. No, I want to relieve it. “I wanted to keep my promise to the production team.”
Chiseung understood.
The fate of present-day Joseon.
They were at a crossroads, not whether they would beat China or not, but whether they would win or not.
“Player Jajaang!”
Chi-Seung held his notebook tightly as he watched the players running back.
“…I hope the day will come when I will definitely use it.”
There is no need to use the strategies contained in this note in future matches.

“All players have entered!”
After giving each other a brief nod, the players head to their respective capsules.
“Waaaaaa!”
The map begins to be implemented with a huge shout.
“ruler! Joseon vs. China! China vs. Joseon! The long-awaited semifinals! Game 2 begins!”
“What about the map~~~~!?”
Sooooo…!
A gentle breeze blows.
All elevation differences are spread out into one, creating a wide grassland.
The stage for the second game was revealed.
[Grasslands of Mongolia]
-The opponent~~~
-Kya
-Basic map ㄷㄷ
-Uther!? Haha
– Ah…
the grasslands of Mongolia.
King Gyul didn’t look very pleased.
“The grasslands of Mongolia. “It’s a so-called pure skill map, right?”
The steppes of Mongolia are the most basic map in Civil M.
It was a map where the so-called ‘pure skill’ could be clearly revealed. This means that it is disadvantageous for Joseon, which is evaluated as a relatively weak team.
“Usually, when a map like this is played, the team with a lower weight class is at a disadvantage, right?”
“ah. Yes! “Because there are no variables!”
The most basic map means that the map has few variables.
In this place, which is mostly flat, there are almost no topographical variables.
“yes. Just like the Almond Mountain Trail chase earlier, one person sweeps it all up! “This type of composition rarely appears.”
In places with rough terrain, many variables arise. Even if there is a difference in skill between the two, if one side controls the terrain well, it can be a very good match.
For example, the acid attack that Cookie showed in the first game was based on that principle.
This is a possible strategy because the archers on top of the fortress can fight at a much greater advantage than the archers below.
However, such an expedient does not exist in the plains of Mongolia.
There are only wide plains and dry soil left by nomads passing through.
“Then Kinggyul, do you think Joseon is inferior on this map!?”
“yes. I can’t deny that. Basically, Joseon needs some mountains to be advantageous.”
-ㅠㅠ
-It’s okay because I won earlier
-But I still had to try it, but
they didn’t bother to pack the cancer king tangerine.
This map was at a disadvantage for Joseon.
This is because, looking at it objectively, Joseon’s military power cannot be compared to that of China.
‘At least officially, that’s the case.’
Obviously when moving from the preliminaries to the finals.
That was the case when the power rankings were first compiled.
Chosun was not a team that could compare to China.
No, it was a team that even Persia and Japan could not beat.
However, Joseon just ended China’s long undefeated streak.
“Of course, you have to play the game to know it!”
“yes! Also, what kind of brilliant strategy did Joseon prepare? Because I don’t know!?”
“you’re right! 1 game! Kubeji’s bag literally exploded!?”
-Squid pocket hahahaha
-ㅁㅊ
hahahaha -hahahahahaha
“Ah! A bag of tricks! “That’s exactly right!”
“Really, I can’t do anything in China and get away with it! I’ve been threshed! That’s the power of strategy! “This is the power of the snail’s purse!”
“yes! Apparently in Cookie’s pocket! Something else will come out! I believe so!”
But so far, neither of them have made much movement.
