The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 5 Episode 83
27. Because I Like It (1)
Cheongyeongchae felt something sharp pierce through his heart for a moment.
He checks his notes again.
‘There’s no problem, is there?’
The ban-pick phase presented no issues.
No matter what the opponent took or picked, I could reliably secure Avatars with the desired characteristics.
But… what is this? This sense of déjà vu?
‘Hmm…’
It felt like I’d seen this before somewhere.
With that uncertain feeling, I simply tilt my head and proceed with the picks.
According to the original plan.
High-value Avatars for mid and ADC are locked in.
Mid is ‘Baby Dragon – Draco,’ an ADC-type mage, and ADC is ‘Terrorist – Boni.’
Both are value-type picks that produce absurd damage output once they safely reach the late game.
“Coach Cheongyeongchae seems to be constructing his desired composition? It’s the classic value combination led by Draco and Boni that we often saw in Ril Championships.”
Danmuji explains to the viewers.
At this, Goguma asks a question.
“Wait, Analyst Danmuji? If you pick something like that in solo queue, you get absolutely demolished and surrender at twenty minutes. Why are these picks so good in tournaments?”
Value picks typically resulted in getting pounded all day in solo queue and facing twenty-minute surrenders.
“That’s because not only the player holding the value pick, but their teammates have exceptional ability to carry them through to the late game.”
“But the opponents are pros too, so they’re skilled as well, right?”
“Exactly. So if the opponent plays even slightly better, it becomes difficult to win—it’s a composition with a high floor, in a sense.”
“Ah…?”
“It’s because Midlaner Kkongchi’s laning phase is currently implemented at nearly peak stats, so this composition was constructed around that.”
Here, Almond asks with confusion.
“Isn’t Jeon-ja-pa the mid laner?”
-?
-…?
-No kkk
-Legend…
-kkkkkkk
Chat messages flood in from Ril players caught off guard by Jeon-ja-pa’s jab.
However, Danmuji chuckles and explains.
“Ah, right. I can see how you’d think that.”
People unfamiliar with Ril often claim that if Jeon-ja-pa just returned, he’d be the strongest in this meta—something I’ve experienced far too many times.
“Of course, if Player Jeon-ja-pa himself actually appeared, he’d play according to this meta. But if the old Jeon-ja-pa came back as he was, that would be a different story.”
“I agree.”
“?”
Almond agrees after asking the question.
-?
-???
-What the heck kkk
Just cutting off the explanation because it’s getting too long – that’s the legendary move of this broadcast lol
-kkkkk lol kkk
-Cut the explanation!
Almond cut off the explanation, but Danmuji continued regardless, undeterred.
He seemed a bit excited since his area of expertise had finally come up.
“Games develop their combat systems. As players compete against each other, winning and losing, data accumulates and evolves into the meta, you see? So no matter how great a player is, fighting with outdated data makes it difficult.”
“I see.”
Almond replied.
-kkkkkkkkk
-No soul kkk
-Some soul please…
-Didn’t I tell you not to explain, Danbong
The viewers thought Almond’s response was just a casual reply.
‘I see.’
But Almond had genuinely learned something for the first time.
Sports like archery certainly develop over time too.
‘But esports… since all the data is recorded digitally… the pace of development is so much faster.’
The speed of evolution here was incomparable to that world.
‘Then I’m done for?’
Choi Sa-rang brought Jeon-ja-pa here because of her strength.
But if outdated data won’t work?
Jeon-ja-pa wasn’t actually the strongest!?
“Now, Coach Choi Sa-rang’s final pick is left.”
The ban-pick phase was nearly complete.
“The midlaner pick hasn’t come out yet.”
“That’s right.”
Thunk.
[Rubisword – Swift]
Rubisword appeared.
“Whoa!?”
Danmuji’s eyes widened in surprise.
Hong-cha let out a shriek.
“Yeah! Let’s go, damn it!”
-There’s something weird about this analyst
-Analyst: Let’s go, damn it kkk
-kkkkkkkkkk
It was Jeon-ja-pa’s signature pick, so the reaction made sense.
“Ah, Rubisword. It’s romantic, but….”
However, Rubisword is an Avatar that’s barely used in professional matches at the current meta.
So Danmuji was a bit skeptical.
-Isn’t it too romantic?
-Doesn’t seem like they’re trying to win
-If it were Jeon-ja-pa, maybe kkk but it’s a simulator so damn
-Will this really work unless Jeon-ja-pa themselves takes the stage? kkk
-If Jeon-ja-pa themselves comes, we win kkk
Anyway, the ban and pick phase had ended.
Doodung─
[Tactical Input]
In the Ril Champs Simulator, after the ban and pick phase, players have 5 minutes to input tactics.
The method is simple.
You just talk to the players through the mic.
“It’s time for tactical input. Choi Sa-rang’s side is saying something quite lengthy, and Cheongyeongchae is already done. With such a good ban and pick, they probably think they’ve already won, right?”
It’s a time to plan how to play based on the ban and pick phase.
But if the ban and pick were good in the first place, there might not be much to discuss at length here.
Just telling them who to focus on fighting is enough—the players figure out the rest themselves.
But─
“Choi Sa-rang’s side went through the ban and pick quite quickly, but she’s taking time here?”
Choi Sa-rang’s side was dragging out the time here.
Usually it wraps up within 2 minutes, but she’s still talking in the third minute.
“Wait, Analyst Danmuji. If you do well in the ban and pick, isn’t there nothing to talk about?”
-kkkkkkk that’s true
-Gobong’s shaking kkkkk
-Keep scratching about going all in
“No, it’s a ban and pick that requires detailed strategy! What’s the problem!?”
Hong-cha rebuked Goguma.
“I agree.”
Almond also agrees.
Danmuji mediated.
“It’s true that she understands the players’ characteristics well, and since CK are originally members of the same team, if tactics are well-crafted, the win rate does increase… but even so, we’ve exceeded the time limit now!”
Choi Sa-rang had used all 5 minutes efficiently.
[Tactical Input Complete]
“Alright. Let’s begin!
[Game Start]
Now the simulation begins.
Gameplay that normally proceeds at 4 to 5 times Ril’s speed.
The Avatars move rapidly back and forth.
From here on, there’s nothing anyone can do.
Just the players’ moment.
Everyone watched the match unfold in hushed silence.
Goguma and Almond, having gone all-in, were essentially praying.
‘Please let us win.’
‘Ah… I didn’t know Jeon-ja-pa wasn’t the strongest…’
Moments later.
[Jeon-ja-pa Double Kill!]
“!”
Everyone’s eyes widened.
Even Danmuji’s.
“This… this is…”
Danmuji’s eyes darted back and forth.
He grasped the reason.
“Coach Cheongyeongchae’s jungler completely failed to do their job?”
-Wow
-For real
-Got completely shut down
-Seriously
-That’s why mid is wow
The highlight play replayed.
Rubisword had control, then the moment he hit level 6, he went in immediately.
“Since the jungler couldn’t do their job, the moment Rubisword hit level 6, he went super aggressive with trades against Draco… and this?!”
Swoosh!
In an instant, blade slashes carved through the air and Draco fell.
“Normally Rubisword is melee and Draco is a ranged mage, so getting hit repeatedly hurts way too much! But there’s one thing I overlooked.”
“What is it?”
Goguma asked, genuinely curious.
“What is it?! What exactly did I overlook?! Damn!”
-kkkkkkkkkkkkk
-kkkkkkkkkk cursing kkk
-He went all-in! kkkkk
-Lol kkkkk
“Jeon-ja-pa has a stat called ranged evasion rate. Especially, it increases the more he counters his main matchup. When he countered Rubisword, his ranged evasion rate already exceeded 50% on paper. So! If ranged attacks are fired twice, he dodges one for certain! This means even if stats are twice as good, the damage stays the same!”
-Wow
-First time seeing Danmuji explain this long kkk
-Ah the evasion rate wow
-He figured out such detailed stats?? kkkk
“Ah shit… that’s some bad luck.”
Goguma stopped pretending to be an analyst.
-kkkkkkkkk kkk
-kkk mask is off kkk
-kkkk for real
-unlucky
Bonk!
Danmuji smacked the back of his head.
“It’s not luck! This mess at level 6 starting from the jungle pathing—that’s the intended design, man!”
Danmuji had bet heavily on Cheongyeongchae, but seeing this design, he couldn’t help but get excited.
So he was frustrated that Goguma wouldn’t acknowledge it.
-Ohhh…
-For real?
-Was this intentional???
-Wow kkk
“That’s what I’m saying! The thing is….”
After that, Danmuji explained the detailed stats one by one.
‘What is he talking about. Crazy.’
Goguma didn’t understand a single word.
But Hong-cha understood and agreed.
“Ah. Three jungle bans with unusual pathing, and then utilizing Jeon-ja-pa’s unusually high Rubisword proficiency stat to counter-gank the jungle for a double kill… it’s hard to call that a coincidence.”
“I agree!”
Almond agreed even more enthusiastically.
After all, Almond was probably the most excited about that double kill.
-What’s with the energy kkk
-kkkkkkkk insane
-his voice got lively kkk
-betting really does pump up Almond’s energy
-gambling is this dangerous…
“The game isn’t over yet, everyone. Value compositions aren’t called value compositions for nothing. Even if they take some losses, they can recover from this.”
True to a composition that shines more in the late game, as long as the game isn’t completely destroyed, a value composition still has a chance to win.
But then, CK’s team started pressing as if they’d heard that.
“Uh, uh… B, Bottom too!”
[Cosmic Double Kill!]
Choi Sa-rang’s team got a double kill.
“The jungle intervenes in the bottom lane, the midlaner applies pressure from all angles, and finally the accident happens!?”
“Ah….”
Goguma was completely dumbfounded.
“Since Cosmic is the only one still playing at a professional level on CK’s team, his stats are quite solid! The bottom lane wasn’t even losing in stats to begin with! And this accident on top of that… but what’s really surprising is!”
Danmuji was delighted seeing this rare strategy.
“This is a really old strategy, you know? Snowballing to the extreme and going in? But the balance is perfect. The midlaner covers it with proficiency first while the Rubisword still has some value. This is a divine move….”
“Ugh. My ears are bleeding.”
Goguma gave him a hint, but Danmuji didn’t stop talking.
“Even though it’s a simulator! It feels like the real Jeon-ja-pa has come back to life after so long! What did you do during the tactical input time! Did you hack the code or something? This is insane!”
Danmuji marveled continuously at the movements that truly resembled CK’s golden era.
“Yeah! Destroy them all! Kill them all! You bastards!”
Hong-cha shouted excitedly as well, and the viewers’ chat scrolled up frantically.
-You bastards kkk
-He just shot an arrow at Kkongchi!
-kkkkkkkkk
-Lolkkkk
-Is he really pulling this off like this?kkk
-Wow, overwhelming?
-CK playing like dogs ahhhhh!
.
.
.
Their excitement finally subsided only after the game ended completely.
[Choi Sa-rang]
[Victory]
The result was Choi Sa-rang’s victory.
From this point on, Almond was the most excited.
“Waaaaaaah!”
Whoooosh!
A massive amount of chips poured down on him.
Goguma’s chips instantly became zero.
“No, this can’t be happening!”
Thud.
Goguma slumped to the floor.
“Me… I… I’m Gobong again!?”
Haha, damn it lol
-In the beginning, there was Gobong…
-The birth of Bong
-Gobong again kkk
-Gobong is confirmed kkkkk
-Gobong again kkkkk
-Penalty confirmed kkkkk
