The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 5 Episode 3
1. A Beginning, Not an End (3)
Tribby’s funeral had several arrangements set up for the streamers.
There were flexible displays and mini cameras so they wouldn’t need to carry full camera rigs, of course.
There was also an MC hosting the event, and several massive broadcast cameras like those used by television stations to capture more detailed footage.
The broadcast transmitted through these cameras had separate channels created for Cheese and Paprika.
[Current Viewers: 81,000]
At the moment the funeral began.
Cheese’s channel had significantly more viewers.
This was because Cheese was far more sincere about inheriting Tribby’s legacy.
-Tribby’s leaving us▶◀
-Tribby’s gone now lol the procession already finished
-▶◀
-We offer our condolences to Tribby… ▶◀
The viewers who arrived first all expressed their condolences about Tribby’s departure, posting black bow-tie emojis.
This was a kind of memorial ritual mentioned in the announcement.
After offering that greeting, this type of question usually appeared.
-Which camera should we watch?
In this broadcast room, even though viewers watched the same event, switching channels would show them different camera angles.
-Start with camera 1 guys, the guests are arriving ✓✓
-Lots of handsome and beautiful people
-Wow
-Hong-cha and Greentea entering on camera 1~
Each camera had its own number.
Camera 1 was positioned at the entrance of the hall, the first thing viewers would see.
-Are those two still together?
-Why is Greentea getting headlocked on the way in?
-Why Greentea instead of Lemon?
-Lemon surprisingly came with Goguma today lol
-Salt and Huchoo arriving lol
Many guests came in pairs, trying to look impressive.
Even if they weren’t particularly close, they would escort each other in.
It was a kind of mood-setting unique to events like this.
Of course, many people also arrived alone.
-Danbong’s here~
-Why is Danbong coming alone
-Danbong would’ve been handsome if he just had bigger eyes
For example, Danbong… or rather, Danmuji.
He wore a rather impressive formal suit and simply entered alone.
Everyone felt a bit awkward about him arriving solo while others came as couples.
I quickly grinned and slipped into the crowd.
-why isn’t anyone calling him Danmuji lol
-Danmuji… not Danbong
-he just became Danbong lolol
The couple’s appearance drew the most attention from none other than Jello.
Since he rarely participated in events like this, his mere appearance held significant meaning.
-whoa Jello??
-who’s next to him lolol
-isn’t that Chocosong??lolol
-Jello with a woman???
It was rare for him to appear with a female streamer, which drew enormous attention.
Especially since it was Chocosong, who had filmed a “virtual wedding” content in Cheese Village.
The reaction was massive.
“Wooooow!”
“It’s Zelkosong!”
“Where’s Zelru!”
Even the streamers themselves cheered in unison.
-wait what’s with Jello and Chocosong? the vibe is really weird lolol
-why is Chocosong so clingy to Jello lol
-where’s Zelru lolol
-those two even have a grandchild
They had been active as a team in Cheese Village, and a setting was created where the two of them had given birth to Zelru together.
Perhaps because of that, Jello had prepared one special showmanship.
“Oh? Zelru is right here, you see?”
Whoosh.
He pulled out a doll that had been hidden behind his back.
It was a Jello doll made by his fans.
Which he claimed was Zelru.
-kyaa
-fan service lolol
-the baby is so cute ^^
-lmaooo
-Jello you lol
-that’s the stuff~
-so smooth lolol
Despite his reluctance toward offline events, he truly demonstrated the showmanship befitting the most popular streamer.
This naturally became a hot topic on the community immediately.
1st Place) Today’s Tribby Funeral Update
2nd Place) Breaking News! Zelkosong + Zelru Appearance lololol
3rd Place) Today’s Miho Outfit OMG
4th place) Zelkosong is a family of 3 lol
5th Place) Breaking news! Jello’s coming!
There were several issue posts being listed like this.
-Jello Seok’s offline events are doing well lately lolol
└Did he sense some kind of crisis? hehe
└What crisis, you Nut Clan bastard
└I didn’t even mention anyone, why are you getting defensive?
└Jelttugi getting defensive is hilarious lololol
-Jello, come out more often, you’re nice to see
-The fact that he even brought Zelru is real considerate lolol
There were a few comments like this on the post.
Since the Cheese Village incident, Jello’s fans had been subtly keeping tabs on Almond.
Had the long-time fans’ instincts been right?
Among the issue posts woven with Jello’s story, a post like this surged up.
6th place) The true identity of a handsome guy found in the college district ㄷㄷ
While the story about Tribby’s funeral was still circulating.
Suddenly, a mysterious handsome guy appears as an issue post.
==== ====
(Photo)
It was Almond lolololol
Just passing by and a post goes up on the community… this guy.
==== ====
The attached photo was a picture posted on some community as “handsome guy spotted.”
The author had asked the community who this celebrity was.
-Wow lololol
-Even from far away his handsomeness shines through
I can’t translate “-ㅁㅊ” as it doesn’t form a meaningful word or phrase in Korean. These are just consonant letters without vowels, making them incomplete and untranslatable.
-This bastard…
└lololololololol
-I’m switching to Jelttugi from today
-So he’s on his way right now
└For real
-Why is even his entrance route being posted as an issue
-Nut Clan comment brigade is going crazy
lol that’s funny
Some people started thinking Almond trending was the work of comment brigades.
But MixNuts’ capital wasn’t generous enough to use something like comment brigades.
This kind of trending was just a natural phenomenon.
Especially when he actually appeared at Tribby’s funeral venue, the reaction was explosive.
-Check Player 1. Almond just arrived
-Almond Player 1 entrance lolol at the entrance
-3rd place Miho suddenly jumps up and runs lolol
-wow lololol so damn good
The broadcast channel switched to Camera 1 at the entrance, and countless viewers followed.
“Oh my gosh! Daegam!”
With Goguma’s cry, the Streamers came rushing in.
It felt almost comparable to the time with Jello.
His performance in Cheese Village seemed to have had a major impact.
-What’s with the Streamers asking to take photos
-Wow
-Hey why are they posing with their arms crossed? Huh? lololol
-The worst Streamer on earth…
2nd Place) Almond’s Real-Time Popularity OMG
His photo post showcasing his popularity among the Streamers quickly conquered the 2nd place issue post.
This was enough to threaten Jello’s standing.
Was that why?
The community’s tone began to grow noticeably rougher.
[Almond’s definitely moved up in weight class]
[Rabid dog vs Jelttugi lolol legendary matchup]
[Looks like two toxic fanbases are about to clash lololol]
[Those bastards framing Almond as Jello’s rival are all from the Nut Clan sg]
[What weight class lol these couch potatoes lol]
[Can Jello even be compared to him???]
[Jelttugi lol scared so you’re running your mouths? Feeling anxious? lol]
Jello’s fanbase often took great pride in being fans of the number one Streamer.
And for good reason—the gap between Jello and everyone else was severe.
Even now, he remained the undisputed number one Streamer without question.
In fact, only one Streamer had ever posed this level of threat to Jello before.
‘Jeon-ja-pa…’
From Jello’s memory, it was only Jeon-ja-pa.
Back then, Jeon-ja-pa had streamed for a few months, saying he’d become a Streamer after retirement.
He’d climbed up with an absurd trajectory.
But eventually, he’d quit just as quickly and disappeared.
It was truly incredible fanbase firepower.
‘Is it a similar feeling?’
He felt that Almond’s trajectory was, in some ways, similar.

* * *
“Wow, Almond!”
“Hyung! Hyung!”
Far more people had gathered than I expected, and I was flustered.
‘These aren’t even fans—they’re streamers.’
Since this was an event exclusively for streamers, I hadn’t anticipated anything like this.
I found myself trapped as if surrounded by fans.
“Hey, we should be sitting down—”
“Oppa! Can I take a photo with you too?”
Whoosh.
Hong-cha slipped out from the crowd and asked for a photo.
She was a Knight Order member, so I couldn’t refuse.
Click.
“Me too, me too!”
“Me as well!”
And so I found myself trapped in the crowd, taking photos endlessly.
But I didn’t know.
That someone was watching me intently from a distance.
“Wow… Almond hyung. In person… insane.”
It was Jeong Gi-chan.
He had come outside earliest along with Miho.
But he was only watching from afar while chatting with his viewers.
“How should I approach him?”
-Why are you asking that here
-Just walk over there and talk to him lolol
-No lol why did you even come out if you’re gonna do this
-Let’s just go back inside;
“No, I’m asking how I should talk to him. Why won’t you tell me?”
He ended up blaming his viewers.
-??
-?
-…?
“There has to be a way to approach someone, right? Why won’t you tell me? I don’t know.”
-He’s actually lost it lolol
-This guy’s insane lolol
-Looks like he’s about to trip him lolol
-There’s no such thing, man
-Did you learn this in school lolol
“Ugh. You guys are all like that. What would you even know? You’re all basically the same as me anyway. In the end.”
-Self-destruct attack oof
Hahahahaha, that’s hilarious!
-Honestly, this is rare, Gichan
Haha, damn it!
-Euk…
-(Hit a nerve)
Then, something remarkable happened.
“Huh? Mosol!”
Sanghyeon waved his hand from where he stood.
Sanghyeon smoothly parted through the massive crowd, waving his hand.
He was definitely calling out to Mosol.
“Mosol!”
“!”
Gichan froze in utter shock.
“Why does it kill me when a good-looking guy who’s a virgin acts like that?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ”
I’m dying laughing lol
-Wait, is he really calling him here?
-Saying Mosol Mosol sounds like he’s cursing
Just yelling “I’m single!” No misunderstanding!
Surprisingly, contrary to the viewers’ speculation, Sanghyeon was steadily approaching Gichan.
He really came over and tapped Mosol’s shoulder.
“Hey. You’re Mosol, right?”
“Ah, hello…. Yes… Um… I, I am Mosol, but… it’s a bit awkward to reveal something like that publicly here….”
What the hell are you talking about, you crazy bastard lol
Hahaha, that’s so funny!
-He’s talking about your username, man
While Gichan was stammering.
“Hold on~!”
The commentators, thinking this was more than enough material, swiftly aimed their camera at them.
The MC came over with a microphone and conducted an interview.
“Would it be alright if we did a quick interview?”
Of course, Sanghyeon and Gichan nodded.
The MC turned to the camera and lifted the atmosphere with his signature broadcast tone.
“Ah~! The legendary Daegam and! The Eternal Daegam’s Sword, Mosol! We’ve finally met. Everyone!”
Hahaha the sword of the eternal master haha
Hahahahaha
I’m dying laughing ㅋㅋㅋ
He’s backing off right away lol
They were moving around the event venue, conducting interviews that would make good content.
‘Huh?’
Sanghyeon felt like he’d heard this voice from somewhere before.
‘Huh?’
I was startled seeing the MC.
‘King Gul?’
He was King Gul.
“Hello, Almond!”
“Oh, yes….”
His head really is huge.
That’s what I found myself thinking involuntarily.
It was a thought that came naturally, beyond my control.
King Gul was originally famous for that.
It really was big.
“Almond, I saw Cheese Village and Boni mentioned that Gichan has quite a lot of, well, affection for you? Hahaha. He seemed to have such unwavering loyalty.”
“Oh… yes.”
“Now that I’ve actually met Gichan in person, I’d love to hear your thoughts.”
“Oh, meeting him in person. Hmm….”
He’s asking what I think of him now that I’ve seen him in reality, not in Seok?
I started to speak but suddenly stopped.
“Hmm….”
I couldn’t find the right words to describe it.
-?
-??
-Lol what
-Just say something dude lol
-Lololol
I somehow managed to piece together words and speak.
“Well… his, his head isn’t as big as I thought.”
“Pardon?”
“His head isn’t big. His head.”
-?
-Lol what
-Lololol
-Lmao
-Sounds like he’s saying it’s smaller than in Seok
-Why is he saying this so seriously lol
“His head! Really! Isn’t! As big as I thought!”
Thinking he couldn’t hear me over the ambient noise, I repeated it more clearly and loudly.
“Oh, I understand! I heard you, Almond. Please, calm down.”
-Is he sniping King Gul? lol
-What size were you even imagining…
-He said calm down lololol
-Hahahahaha
-King Gul’s expression lol
-Obviously talking about King Gul lolol
King Gul had only ever done commentary, never found himself in the position of being interviewed by someone during an international tournament.
‘This isn’t easy.’
Now I finally understood why the reporter sometimes cried in the waiting room.
