Genius Archer Streaming Season 3 Episode 318
102. The Bigger Picture (5)
Game 2 was much more dominant than Game 1.
Plus, there was the perception that Rome was a natural powerhouse.
So the community reacted with this kind of reaction.
[Roma: Cheetahs are smiling……]
[Game 1? That’s my memory, Cookie].
That the first game in Rome was just a warm-up.
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Wow.
-Is this really the ending……
-Dragon Ball?
-Ha…… So far so good
Of course, there were those who didn’t think so.
-But wasn’t Joseon better in the first game?
It’s not that Anto was warming up in Game 1, it’s that Cookie’s performance was quite good.
He made almost no mistakes in game 1, and all his timing decisions were sharp.
However, there were quite a few people who disagreed.
└What is his pure performance like?
└1경기야말로 운빨 터졌던거였잖아……? 고대 성벽 또 나와서 안토 가불기 걸렸잖아
└Here are a lot of honorary Italians
The fact that the ancient walls are out again is in Cookie’s favor.
But this is actually a contradiction in terms.
└What are you talking about? The ancient walls were always more of an advantage for Rome, so why would it be a disadvantage in the first place? Think about it.
└It’s also known as the wall of Rome.
└The Amanbo Truth
The reason why the ancient wall map was disadvantageous to Rome was because of the qualifiers Cookie created.
That’s where Anto made the only breakthrough and escaped, but it didn’t work twice.
└Game 1 I didn’t just use the same strategy, I took advantage of the fact that he was aware of it, and I turned and turned and turned…… Actually, it was no different from what he did in game 2. Cookie’s final form was very good.
└a
└3경기 해상전이니까 이길듯 기대해보자
The consensus amongst those who were able to watch the game was that Cookie’s performance in today’s final was quite good.
There were a lot of decisions and judgments made by commanders that ended up looking stupid in hindsight, and it’s hard to notice these things if you don’t know the game.
This is despite the fact that Mbull is a pretty game savvy community.
Lilpro was a different story.
Lilpro is notorious for his aggressive tone.
Add to that his ignorance and you’ve got a recipe for disaster.
[Wow, that’s really bad].
[What the hell did Joseon do???]
[The difference in skill is too much]]
[I don’t expect a final……]
[No, on the mountain map?? Is this right?]
[Even if heaven helps me, I’m going to get kicked…]
[선조 <<< 나라 버린 판단 고트면 빅 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ] Some of them look pretty angry. It might be a puzzling reaction, since it's not easy to win the final against Rome in the first place. They had high expectations because the map was favorable to Joseon. With high expectations comes high disappointment. This is not just a problem for fans. * * * Kung! Thud! Qi Seung kept slamming his head into the table. "Turn it off!" "Oh, big brother, stop!" Thump! Thud! "Ugh...... huh......." Qi Seung was regretting his decision. 'That was a bad strategy. If we had just used the advantage of the mountain map, we could have won...... today if Cookie had won. Cookie's form was pretty good today. Game 1 and Game 2 were a series of good decisions. However, in game 2, the set-piece style of play actually hindered him. Cookie's strength is his ability to think on his feet. When things go off the rails and turn into a scramble, Cookie's odds are overwhelmingly in his favor. Anto, on the other hand, has a way of drawing his opponents into his intentions. He's so good at it that he doesn't introduce variables, and often the variables are within his intentions. In this situation, he was giving Cookie a set play. 'Stupid asshole. Qi Seung couldn't help but blame himself. "A must-win? Doesn't that make sense? I only said that because I thought it was a must-win card. There was no way there would be such a thing in the final. Thud! "Oh, big brother, what's wrong, stop!" Muldoon tugged at his hair. When he tried to continue, she yanked back harder and harder. "Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" "You're pulling all this out?!" Qi Seung's mind snapped back to reality. It just so happened that the spectator on the screen was Takoyaki. "Are you going to stop?" "Uh, uh, I'm gonna stop, so you, you stop!" "......Yes." The water dumpling let go of his hair. "Hua." Qi Shuang shook his head from side to side, then went back to work. "Okay. Let's go again. Okay." "Okay. It's only one to one, and the next round is at sea." "Uh-huh." And so it was. A sea battle. Qi Seung's eyes began to glow again. "Reset. The previous match was meaningless. The sea battle would follow a completely different logic. The first team to forget the previous match and prepare properly for the sea battle would have the advantage. And most importantly 'Three times in a row now. Opportunity is coming for Joseon. Ancient walls, rugged mountain valleys, and naval battles. These were all places where Joseon could win. The final naval battle, in particular, could drive a wedge. Mountains and seas. Few civilizations have an advantage over Joseon in these two terrains. Rome, in particular, was not very strong at sea. "No. Qi shook his head. "It's all pointless. "In the final, all the schemes and such were irrelevant. I thought I had the advantage in the previous match, but I didn't. The more I thought I had the advantage and planned my game plan, the more it favored Anto, who could predict it. I had to get out of this rut. The fall. Qi Seung pulled up a holographic screen in front of him with all the sea maps used in the competition. "Mulmandu. You're playing two games with the kids." Sea battles operate on a completely different logic. There's no reason to replay two games. At this point, the think tank team splits into two. One team has to replay the entire game for four games, while the other team prepares for the sea battle for three games. But what should they prepare? "I......." What should we prepare so that Anto doesn't know? Good numbers work, bad numbers don't. How do we break this hard, contradictory proposition? "......I'll be Rome." "Huh?" "Multiplication is Joseon. I'm Rome." "......!" Chisung walked to the other side of the table and grabbed the model of a ship from the Roman side. "I'll be Anto. It was absurd. There was no other way. 'If I'm Anto, what do they think...... will bring to the table. They have the advantage in naval warfare anyway. How can I overcome this?' * * * The players' waiting room. Sang-hyun wrapped a cold, soaked white towel around his head and took a moment to catch his breath. His clothes were drenched in sweat. 'Three more games.......' After the third game, you start to feel the effects. I'll be fine for three games. The problem is, as long as the game is tied 1-1, it will never end in three games. "Are you feeling okay?" Ziying. A woman in a wheelchair asks. It was Choi Sarang. "You've been overexerting yourself after that failed snipe earlier." She was supposed to be part of the think tank team, but she seemed to think that checking on Almond's condition was a priority right now. It's a player-centered style of play. Next to her was Song Hana, a doctor. When Sang-hyun's gaze fell on her, she mumbled something apologetic. "Oh...... I thought you might need......." Song-hana interrupts. "Haha. I'm not going to nag you today, so tell me how you are." Although she said that, Song Hana's expression was quite eerie. "Ah...... mmm......." * * * Meanwhile, in the player's waiting room in Rome. "Hmmm. I didn't know they were going to try that far." Anto was briefly reviewing the footage from Game 2. Game 3 was supposed to be a naval battle, but they couldn't resist reviewing this. The scene where Almond shoots the priest. "Is it possible...... to shoot while being chased like that?" The first shot was as Anto had expected. The arrow came as Pierre expected. A tongue. Lightly deflected by his shield. Almond didn't know Pierre existed, and Pierre did. It was what happened next that was eerie. Carrot stalled for time, and Almond ran further into the mountains. Pierre tells us about the situation. "He started killing the workers." Almond started killing the workers as if he had given up on the priest. The first one did, but then it killed another worker, and the next one seemed to be aimed at another worker. "It became quite conflicted. Is he really only targeting the workers, and from that angle, is he not reaching the clerics......." "Yeah, that's what he was aiming for. He didn't shoot the worker in the first place, weighing in our minds." Anto no longer looked interested. He stroked his white beard as if he were watching something very disturbing. "You were probably a little conflicted here, weren't you?" "Yes." Pierre nodded. The last three shots. It's hard to tell from a distance, but Pierre pauses for a moment. He hesitates for a moment, as he realizes that he can't just let the worker go anymore. Anto couldn't have ordered this either. This was purely a psychological battle between Pierre and Almond. Almond's momentary base has brought the macro outcome of winning or losing the game down to a micro duel between himself and Pierre. If Pierre is fooled here, the game is over. But Pierre was determined to stand by the priest, even if it meant losing at the last minute. ──Twang! Almond's arrow was blocked by the shield. "I was surprised, I actually thought...... it wouldn't hit." The reason he was conflicted. It's a worker, if he shoots from that angle, it's half water and half meat. The cleric is farther back, and there's only one of him. And Almond was being chased. Plus, he deliberately shot pretending to aim at the worker. And yet, his arrow hits the cleric squarely in the head. "That's the point. Not only in tactics, but also in strategic moves......." In Anto's eyes, the almond was more than a tactical weapon, it was a strategic weapon. If he succeeded, the game would change. His presence could make or break the operation in the first place. "......Yes, so it's easy to anticipate." The corners of his mouth twitch upward in a scowl. "Not many commanders want to utilize their fists when they have a sword." "Yeah......?" "Almond's range is Cookie's operational range. That's why I'm pretty sure it's game two." He had been paying close attention to Almond's abilities since game one. Even though he lost game one, he kept an eye on how Almond was fighting. That's why he felt it. "When he shot the cleric in game one, ...... it was an angle that even I didn't see. Or rather, an angle that I couldn't see because I was the...... commander. It's the sum of the range increase from the elevation difference and the players who can use it to its extreme." How far Almond could go. Anto saw it clearly. "There's no way Cookie wouldn't use that in two games. And then I saw the map. It was too obvious ...... that he was going to try to kill the cleric from the main camp." "Exactly." Toby, the leader of the think tank team, nods, holding a notebook next to him. "They won't target the clergy this time, but it'll be the same, and Cookie will come with an operation at the high end of Almond's operational capability range." Toby had seen the pattern of Joseon's strategy. Sure, on the surface, the strategy kept changing, but the essence was the same. "Their strategy is special, which is why so many teams have fallen to them. With that special strategy comes special execution. But......." Toby shook his head. "Actually, it's the other way around. With special performance comes strategy. Cookie won't deviate from that structure. Game three will be the same, albeit at sea." Anto nodded. "Now that you put it that way, I can see a few things coming." Anto unfolds the naval warfare map and begins to work out the number of cases.
