The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 5 Episode 84
27. Because I Like You (2)
Back in Cheese Village, it was actually Gobong who first earned the title of “Bong.”
At the time, Danmuji, who was playing the role of Daegam, created the derisive nickname “Gobong” by treating Goguma—to whom he owed a debt—as his Bong.
It was the same context as how Joseon servants were given names like Dolsoe or Gaettong.
By the late stages of Cheese Village, Bong had become an honorable title.
Since so many servants ended up under Bong, insisting they too should serve under a Daegam’s household, Bong had essentially risen to an executive-level position.
But even in reality, becoming Bong again was hardly something to celebrate.
“Ugh, I’m a Bong?!”
Goguma cried out in anguish.
“Why did I lose to this?! Damn Angyeongtae, you idiot!”
Even if Goguma’s siege warfare rank was only Gold, it wasn’t as if he lacked an eye for the game.
A team composed solely of old players from the past winning in a simulator adjusted to the current meta made no sense.
It was impossible.
Especially when the opponents were essentially an all-star roster of the strongest players in current form.
-They actually lost kkk
-Completely became a Bong
-You totally got Bonged~
-kkkkkkkkk they lost?
-Not just a loss but got absolutely stomped, it’s ridiculous
While Goguma wailed, Hong-cha bounced excitedly and shouted.
“Ahahaha! So Bong is already decided? Hey? Hey Gobong~ come over and serve your lady! Huh?!”
Poke. Poke.
Gobong went over and nudged him with his foot, teasing him as well.
What was strange was Almond’s reaction.
‘Phew.’
He merely felt some relief.
There was no particularly dramatic response.
Almond wasn’t the type to have high energy normally.
Still, the Coach he had brought was at a disadvantage several times over.
Why did it feel like he was relieved that someone who should have won had won?
‘Could it be… he doesn’t feel that way about my brother?’
Danmuji found it strange.
Actually, the match itself was very strange from the beginning.
‘To lose so one-sidedly like this.’
The Valve and double support combination wasn’t a pairing that should crumble so smoothly.
Especially not with that player composition.
‘How did they even lose?’
Even Danmuji, who understood the players well, found it difficult to grasp exactly what happened.
Even with high comprehension of the players, the setup would have been completely misaligned with the current meta.
How did they not just win—they completely dominated?
‘Hmm….’
Danmuji analyzes it piece by piece.
First, there were some gaps in the jungle.
They consecutively banned the divine avatars that suited the dual-carry meta.
The problem was that while the Jungler had considerable skill, they didn’t have a particularly wide range of divine avatar proficiency.
Especially in this season’s meta.
‘Cheongyeongchae must have considered that too.’
The jungle having limited options was a calculated move.
‘It wasn’t a big deal.’
Anyway, wasn’t it a single match?
No matter how much you defend, if you pick a divine avatar that fits the meta in even one game while avoiding bans, it’s over.
‘Huh?’
Here, Danmuji feels something off.
‘Picking while avoiding bans…?’
It wasn’t that they picked while avoiding bans—perhaps the bans forced their choice.
And then the jungle pathing optimized for that avatar, the mid laner’s movements, the top laner’s movements….
And then the mid laner’s double kill.
I understood that much was designed.
Whoosh.
Danmuji realizes it while rewinding the replay.
‘Everything after that… was all set up too.’
It wasn’t just the early game that was designed—orders were given for all subsequent movements.
How is this even possible?
In the simulator, realistically, from the mid-game onwards you have to leave things to the simulator players’ actual capabilities.
Even if you give orders, if the situation doesn’t match those orders, it’s meaningless.
There were even cases where the programming glitched and caused strange behavior.
‘But… they got all of that right?’
The game didn’t blow open from the mid laner’s double kill.
Afterward, similar plays continued to happen.
Clearly, very organized movements and tactics that seemed to understand and counter the current meta stood out repeatedly.
The data of those players currently in the simulator absolutely shouldn’t know any of that.
‘What on earth… is this person?’
Danmuji watches Coach, who has just returned to Disworld.
As she brushes back her long black hair and sits briefly on the bench, there’s nothing particularly delighted about her demeanor.
Just the natural ease of someone who won what they were supposed to win.
‘Is the Civilm Commander’s capability at this level?’
It was true that Civilm was a much harder game than Ril.
Especially for a Commander.
You have to command actual people, and even delegate production management to them.
I knew that much.
‘Impressive.’
Even though Cheongyeongchae was in the military, seeing someone who was essentially an active Coach unable to make a move was shocking.
“Ah… completely crushed. What was that?”
Cheongyeongchae seemed unable to comprehend the defeat.
“You just go plant some stakes. Idiot.”
Thwack!
Gobong kicked Cheongyeongchae to vent his frustration.
-kkkkkkkkkkkkk
-kkkkkkk
-Specialist sergeant is going down~
-Lolololol
-But the opponent seemed to play pretty well
-Lmaokkkkk
“Damn… what mistake did I make? I shouldn’t have lost. This is completely optimal.”
Cheongyeongchae continued reviewing the match with a tilted head, unable to understand.
While third parties would quickly accept it, from Cheongyeongchae’s perspective, who had prepared quite thoroughly, there were many points that didn’t make sense.
“Optimal my ass, you’re just dead.”
Gobong kept needling him from the side, while Cheongyeongchae continued tilting his head in confusion.
‘That side is just peaceful.’
What about Choi Sa-rang, sitting with Almond?
They weren’t saying anything to each other.
There seemed to be no need for a separate review.
‘Well, reviewing with Almond anyway….’
Realistically, a review would be impossible.
In any case, they were oddly composed.
Choi Sa-rang especially wasn’t paying any attention to Cheongyeongchae’s bewildered expression.
Normally, if someone showed signs of not accepting a loss to her, she’d casually throw out some remark.
‘She knows her winning method wasn’t conventional.’
Danmuji proceeded to the next match.
“Well then, Soldier Cheongyeongchae, you can return to your unit.”
“What? Return to my unit? Are you insane? I’m on leave! I didn’t even get to watch!?”
-kkkkkkkkkkkkk
-Just hearing it makes me want to cursekkkkkk
-Return to unit lol
Ugh, I’m so sad… (or: Ugh, this is frustrating…)
-Dude said he’s on leave lol
-Are you a demon?
“We’ll proceed to the next match. This is Hong-cha’s recommendation. Kalkal.”
“Yes. Nice to meet you.”
“Kalkal. A word about your resolve?”
“I’ll win and return without bringing shame to the academy students. Yes.”
So if I lose, I’d be embarrassed in front of the students, Kalkal said.
-This isn’t even a tournament
No, what kind of competition is that even supposed to be? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Hahaha suddenly it turned into a real competition lol
-How much is the prize money?
“Next is my recommendation! Ottia!”
“Yes. Hello.”
“Your resolve?”
“Well… I suppose it’s the difference in caliber between an academy coach and an actual league coach. I’ll show you that kind of thing.”
“Kyaha~”
At the provocative remark, Hong-cha and Lemon enthusiastically clapped their hands.
“Ah, nice! Trash talking!”
“Fighting~!”
hahahahahaha
Black tea is good even when you use it on your own team lol
Hong-cha just likes trash talking lol
Hahahaha
-The academy coach is a bit lacking
“Enter!”
As they entered amid this heated atmosphere.
“Waaaaaah~!”
“Win, Kalkal!”
You know how sometimes it happens?
When there are only a few people but they deliberately make a lot of noise, there’s occasionally a moment when it suddenly becomes quiet.
This was exactly one of those moments.
A timing when everyone’s silence happened to overlap strangely.
In that quiet moment, someone suddenly spoke very softly.
“But isn’t that person also a Division 2 coach?”
This remark sounded louder than expected.
-?
Hahahahaha
I’m dying laughing ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Why is trash talk suddenly breaking out here lol
-Well, he went to the international tournament~
Haha yeah the part 2 coach is legit lol
-Since he’s Division 2, he came here while resting
It was Choi Sa-rang’s remark, tilting her head.
Goguma, who didn’t miss this.
“Ooh~! That’s quite the provocation, isn’t it?”
“…?”
Sarang seemed flustered—her words had come out louder than she’d intended.
Her gaze shifted toward Almond.
He interpreted it as, ‘You’re close with him. Do something about this.’
Actually, it wasn’t just an interpretation—that’s exactly what it meant.
‘Hmm….’
Almond wanted to help too.
He’d brought her here after all.
He couldn’t let a misunderstanding like this stand.
“Ahem. Gobong.”
When Daegam called out to Gobong, there was something different about his tone.
“Yes?”
Gobong’s body went rigid with a tingling sensation.
His body remembered Daegam’s presence.
“She wasn’t provoking you.”
“Ah… Yes, yes. Of course.”
“She was just checking whether you’re really a Division 2 Coach, since she didn’t know.”
“O, of course.”
“You are a real Division 2 Coach, right?”
“…Yes.”
“Is there something wrong with being a Division 2 Coach?”
“Oh, goodness! No, of course not! Even Division 2 is Rilchams!”
“Then why did you take it as provocation?”
“…That’s what I’m wondering too. I’m, I’m sorry!”
-Haha
-Refuted!
-Kya
-What’s this
That’s crazy/insane about the adult Almond.
Some viewers thought Almond was simply correcting Gobong’s slip of the tongue.
“But why is calling someone a Division 2 Coach considered provocation?”
He was genuinely curious and asking.
“Well, you see, Division 2 Coach means….”
“A Division 2 Coach is someone who coaches in Division 2.”
“That’s correct.”
Choi Sa-rang pressed her forehead and lowered her head.
‘Please stop mentioning Division 2….’
She wished this topic had never come up.
Division 2 kept getting mentioned over and over.
Hahahahahahaha
hahahaha
-How many times is he killing him?
-Killing Coach twice in Division 2, that’s insane
-May the blessing of beans be upon us…
Hahahahaha lol haha
-Not even a body left, Nut Shake
They say to hide a leaf, you hide it in a forest, don’t you?
Contrary to his intentions, it was actually quite effective.
Now nobody cared what Choi Sa-rang had said.
-Is that all Division 2 Coach can do?
Let’s count how many times they say “Part 2” lol
Hahaha, that’s hilarious!
-He’s obsessed with this again
The viewers had simply become interested in how many times Almond mentioned Division 2.

* * *
Meanwhile, Division 2 Coach Tottia headed to the coach’s booth.
“Ugh… Division 2 is pretty good too.”
He swallowed his tears and prepared for the ban-pick phase.
Hahahaha lol
hahahahahaha
Oh gosh, tortilla ㅠㅠ
-He was Division 1 as a player… let’s have a drink
hahahahahaha
Was it thanks to this tear-stained ban-pick?
[Victory]
Boom~!
“Woah! Tottia! A smooth victory! We advance to the finals! The Masked Coach King finals!!”
After Tottia easily defeated Kalkal,
he advanced to the finals.
His opponent was Choi Sa-rang.
She slowly stood up.
Danmuji approached her and asked.
“Could we hear a few words about your resolve?”
“Ah… that Division 2… no, wait….”
Choi Sa-rang shook her head vigorously, trying to shake off the specter of Division 2.
‘I’ve heard it so much, it’s stuck in my head.’
But Danmuji wasn’t one to let that slip.
“Yes. You should say a few words to ‘that Division 2 Coach.'”
-Lol, Coach is second place kkkkkkk
-Coach second place kkkkk
-Actually Danmuji gets second place a lot too…
-kkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
-Ah kkkkk
-Your face is all red, stop teasing~
“Uh, ahem. I’ll just go win.”
“So you’re going for second place?”
“…?”
Zing.
Danmuji lowered his head under the piercing stare.
“Sorry. But I have one question!”
I grabbed her as she tried to leave hastily and asked.
“Will you be using the CK team again this time?”
“Ah, um… Yes.”
“Is there a reason you’re sticking with them?”
“….”
The answer took longer than expected to this question.
A strange atmosphere hung in the air.
Still, no one would have noticed. How her eyes wavered unnecessarily given the weight of the question.
“Because I like them.”
“Is that all?”
Choi Sa-rang nodded once more.
“Yes.”
Liking something.
That was all there was to it.
-Kyaa
-Toxic fan kkkkk
-Keu
-Cool beauty fans are welcome~
-She’s got spirit
-Just do what you like~
-That nut fan kept saying second place so much, if that sounded like second place I’d upvote~
