The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 5 Episode 80
26. All In (1)
Clap, clap!
Juhyeok applauded.
“She came. She really came.”
Honestly, he’d been uncertain until Choi Sa-rang actually revealed herself.
She typically invested considerable effort into concealing her identity.
So why would she expose herself here, in something not even as significant as an international tournament? It made no sense to Juhyeok.
But Sanghyeon had said she would probably do it.
‘And she actually did.’
She had genuinely exposed herself in Disworld.
Even the name Choi Sa-rang came out.
Of course, no one would be able to immediately connect her to Choi Seong-hyeon, that legendary player ‘Jeon-ja-pa’.
‘The body code is different too.’
Juhyeok had checked immediately the moment she entered Disworld.
It wasn’t Jeon-ja-pa’s code.
He’d somewhat anticipated this from when she said she’d been active as a man.
‘How on earth did she manage it?’
From what Juhyeok understood, acquiring another body code was quite difficult.
Even committing illegal acts required systematic, highly organized illegality to make it possible.
‘Well, she’s already quite wealthy.’
Choi Sa-rang’s family was considerably rich.
Perhaps they’d somehow resolved it with money?
Regardless, she’d come now in Choi Sa-rang’s body completely, there was no illegality here, and no past glory attached to it.
‘Good. This will make for great content.’
Juhyeok actually liked that.
Everyone being puzzled by Choi Sa-rang’s existence.
‘The process of rescuing the Coach is major content too.’
Content involving streamers like inter-platform tournaments or the Nant War inherently held real meaning in the process rather than the tournament results themselves.
Not in the sense of the common saying that ‘the process matters’.
‘That’s literally where the money is.’
That process actually has a decisive impact on revenue.
Why?
Simple. The tournament is brief, but the preparation process is very long.
And from that process, videos showing the team’s chemistry and growth need to emerge to receive lots of support and experience what’s called ‘skyrocketing’ in popularity.
So this process of rescuing the Coach was originally just another process and content.
And now ‘Jeon-ja-pa hiding her power’ had appeared in that content.
For Juhyeok, there couldn’t be better material than this.
Juhyeok went over to the editing team and spoke to Jia.
“Jia.”
“…?”
Jia startles at Juhyeok’s sudden approach.
He murmurs quietly to her.
“You’re watching the live stream right now?”
“Yeah. I have it playing on the side.”
“Focus your editing cuts on her during the Coach selection.”
“Right. Since Almond brought her….”
“No, it’s more than that.”
“?”
“She’s definitely going to place first.”
That was it.
It was as good as knowing the results of this Coach selection beforehand.
Which made the editing process far smoother.
“We’ll be able to release the video first.”
In collaborative broadcasts, the side that uploads their video first always gains a significant advantage.
Since all five Knight Order members essentially experienced the same situation, viewers would have a similar experience regardless of which streamer’s video they watched.
But what if another streamer’s edited version goes up first?
‘You can’t help but watch it.’
You’ll watch it no matter what.
‘The problem is what comes next.’
What about the next streamer’s video?
And after that?
The further back you go, the lower the probability viewers will watch.
This is how collaborative broadcasts work—streamers enjoy camaraderie and friendship.
But behind the scenes, the management teams are in direct competition.
‘That’s why inter-platform tournaments even exist.’
That’s also why inter-platform tournaments have meaning.
Two platforms hosting the same tournament?
Depending on which team becomes more popular, and how quickly and effectively each side churns out edited videos, viewers from one platform could migrate to the other.
‘This is war.’
So this was essentially war without guns and swords.
And to know in advance which Coach would become the strongest in the future?
This Coach would even remain active until the very end of the tournament.
Jia would definitely focus her editing cuts on her.
From the company’s perspective, the entire process became incredibly smooth.
‘Excellent work… Almondil.’
Sang-hyun Yu sometimes operated like this at the company too.
Usually he seemed like he had no thoughts at all.
But at the most critical moments, he would unexpectedly deliver.
Perhaps this was one of those moments.
‘Bringing that person in as a coach.’
This could be an enormous help to Mixnuts’ development going forward.
There’s a high probability that Mixnuts will play an active role on the front lines of this war.
* * *
“You were a Commander of the Civil Empire, weren’t you? I saw you well during the national tournament.”
Danmuji, who was naturally sociable, approached first and greeted her.
“Ah, yes.”
“But I didn’t know you also played Ril.”
“I did play Ril. For about….”
Sarang’s eyes rolled for a moment.
She wasn’t good at lying.
“Five years or so.”
She stated her actual period of activity.
“Wow. So you’ve been doing it almost from the beginning?”
“If you watched the national tournament, you’d understand. My legs aren’t in good condition, so there wasn’t much else I could do, you know?”
“Ah….”
I’m crying / I’m so sad
-Oh…
-Yeah…
So the game… ㅠㅠ
-To think I’d see Choi Sun-sin here wow
Choi Sa-rang’s current avatar stood on two feet just fine.
But the her who appeared in the stadium during the national tournament was always in a wheelchair.
That’s why she received quite a bit of attention.
A beautiful Commander in a wheelchair. This unrealistic element had drawn considerable interest.
However, she didn’t utilize that attention at all, remarkably.
‘She just disappeared like that.’
Daisunsin Choi never appeared in any official capacity and gradually faded from memory.
“Well, we’ve all introduced ourselves now.”
Clap!
Danmuji spoke.
“Some of you may have heard what we discussed, and some may not. But we can only select one Coach among those here.”
At Danmuji’s words, the four coaches slowly nodded their heads.
It meant they all knew this already.
“You might wonder why we’re going to such lengths for something like this….”
Danmuji stopped speaking for a moment after saying that much.
‘Yeah. Why are we doing something like this?’
He thought the same thing himself.
“Well, yes. That’s how it turned out.”
-kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
-kkkkkk
-What is this kkk
-Even I think she’s being a bit much kkkkk
Hahahaha
*snort*
A faint laugh passed between the Coaches and Streamers.
“Still, I’m glad you’re willing to participate. Hopefully we can have some fun with it. First, what we need to do is download the ‘Ril Champs Simulator’… I’m sure everyone with pro experience already has it…”
Danmuji’s gaze turned toward Choi Sa-rang.
She was the only one here without professional experience.
“I’ll send you the download link.”
*whoosh*
As he gestured, the link flew over on its own.
“Ah… yes.”
Choi Sa-rang hesitated for a moment, then simply nodded.
‘It would be weird to say I have it.’
How could someone without pro experience have such a program?
She just said she didn’t have it and pretended to download it.
The problem was that she’d downloaded that program so long ago that she’d forgotten about it.
That it was an incredibly large program.
“I’ve downloaded it.”
So after roughly five minutes, she just claimed it was done.
“…?”
“What. That’s incredibly fast.”
“Huh? Already?”
Everyone looked surprised.
This is when Almond stepped forward.
“She’s naturally fast. This person is just originally quick.”
“?”
Everyone became even more confused, looking at each other wondering what he meant.
For some reason, Choi Sa-rang hung her head low.
‘He’s fixated on something strange again.’
She knew exactly why Almond was doing this.
During the phone call, she’d said it wasn’t about picking up quickly, and now it had come to this.
She couldn’t even imagine what mechanism had caused him to keep obsessing over being fast.
Anyway, she knew that she was the culprit behind Almond’s fixation, so she hung her head.
-What do you mean naturally fast lol
-Nut Shake kkk Is it because you brought Choi Sun-sin kkk You’re so worried
-Aww kkkkk cute kk
-Do you know what you’re saying? kkk
“Ah… wow, you’re quite fast, aren’t you?”
“The capsule must be good.”
“The capsule is… good, and that makes it fast?”
“Who knows. Maybe his house is an internet service provider.”
The coaches exchanged bewildered responses among themselves.
“Well then, let’s determine the matchups by drawing lots. We’ll keep it simple with a tournament format.”
Ding!
A large purple lottery drum appeared.
Rumble rumble rumble…!
The drum began to shake, and in an instant, the lots were drawn and shot toward the coaches.
Whoosh.
The moment everyone unfolded their papers.
“Ah, wait!”
Goguma suddenly interjected.
“So, should we place some bets here?”
“…Bets?”
Everyone looked at him with confusion.
“I mean, the streamers just stand here and watch while only the coaches play. Does that make sense?”
-kkkkkkkkk
-kkkkk
-That’s fair
-Gobong speaks the truth!
-lol for real
-Oh, is this a horse racing track? kkk
-Gamble away kkk
“Well… how about we also place bets on which coach will win?”
“Oh.”
Hong-cha’s eyes lit up.
“I like it.”
“Me too!”
And so Danmuji, the room master of Dis World, created chips.
Everyone was given 30 chips each.
“How about whoever has the most chips today gets to decide who pays for our team dinner? And picks the menu too.”
“Oh, I’m in!”
“Sounds good!”
Everyone readily agreed enthusiastically.
Only Almond hesitated a bit.
The Knight Order members whispered among themselves.
‘What’s wrong? Does the Daegam lack confidence?’
‘Does he think his team will lose?’
‘No, that’s not it. He could just place the bet on someone else instead.’
‘Hey, come on. Even so, you bring someone here and say something like that?’
‘The Daegam is worried about something like this?’
They assumed Almond was troubled because they thought Choi Sun-sin, who lacked professional experience, would lose.
‘Should I make it ten thousand won per chip?’
But he was simply deliberating whether he could make the penalty even larger, taking for granted that he would naturally come in first.
“Brother?”
“Oh, uh…”
“Are you alright?”
“Yeah. Of course.”
Everyone had already agreed.
Poof.
A betting arena like you’d see in a casino materialized.
“Ooh, the visuals are coming through.”
They placed the camera at the dealer’s position and all sat in a row.
“Should we change our outfits too?”
Poof!
Everyone’s clothes transformed into something like tuxedos.
-Whoa
-Wow~
-kkkkk feels like we’re at a casino
-Hong-cha’s dress is insane
-Almond as 007 is insane
“Alright then. First match.”
Whoosh!
The Coaches unfold the drawn papers.
“Choi Sun-sin, Choi Sa-rang, and Soldier versus Cheongyeongchae!”
-Ooh
-Cheongyeongchae got an easy matchup lol
-Soldier let’s make a comeback~
-Feel bad for them so even an easy matchup is fine lol
-lol Cheongyeongchae’s hyped
“Ahem. I look forward to this.”
“Yes. Me too.”
Sseung.
The two disappeared into the Ril Champs simulator after their greeting.
