The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 5 Episode 85
27. Because I Like You (3)
Zing.
At that moment, several messages began appearing in a group chat.
It was a group chat created by the CK players for the tournament.
[Popcorn: kkk (link)]
[Popcorn: Is Choi Seong-hyeon really leaving as Coach?]
[Popcorn: This guy’s pride made him even do a preliminary match, wow, he’s really stubborn]
These messages from Popcorn became the spark.
Zing!
[Cosmic: Damn, does he hate us winning that much?]
[Banana: He’s upset because we didn’t include him…]
[Cosmic: How do we include him? He can’t play]
[Banana: We could use him as Coach]
[Cosmic: Are you insane? Don’t you know his personality?]
[Popcorn: Banana’s been into Choi Seong-hyeon since the days he thought he was a man~ Cheers~]
[Cosmic: kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk]
[Cosmic: If anything, it got colder when she turned out to be a woman]
[Popcorn: lmaokkkkk crazy kkkkk]
Even through messages alone, you could see Banana’s face turning red.
Banana: Ugh, seriously, stop talking nonsense.
Usually when the conversation reached this point, Marshmallow would always jump in.
[Marshmallow: Stop teasing him with the same thing every time…]
[Marshmallow: But aside from that, if we bring Seong-hyeon as Coach, it’ll stand out too much. We only have a mid gap. Some strange person as Coach?]
[Popcorn: That’s true?]
[Marshmallow: That’s probably Seong-hyeon’s best option. He probably knows it too]
[Cosmic: But would he even become a Coach? “Why doesn’t this work? I seriously don’t get it?” He’d complain like that lol]
[Popcorn: lololololololol true]
[Marshmallow: He did well when he was Commander for the national team match.]
[Cosmic: That was because Cookie already trained everyone, he just did a magic trick on top of it]
[Marshmallow: hh]
Marshmallow felt it.
This bastard Cosmic still has a lot bottled up inside.
[Banana: Huh? Hey, didn’t you pick all CK players? lololol]
[Popcorn: Wow]
[Cosmic: I’ll let that slide, but picking Banana? That’s seriously like you don’t want to win]
[Popcorn: kkkkkkkkkkkk]
But surprisingly, Banana hard-carries and achieves an overwhelming victory.
[Banana: We won? With my carry? What do we do about this? Huh?]
[Cosmic: If we lose to a soldier, you have to enlist instead~]
Cosmic maintained his playful demeanor throughout.
But moments later.
[Why did you specifically choose CK players?]
[…because I like them]
Everyone in the group chat, including Cosmic, fell silent.
It was Banana who broke that silence.
[Banana: That… is that a green light?]
[Popcorn: hahahahahahahaha]
[Cosmic: Is he crazy? lol]
[Banana: No seriously, you have me carry and then say “because I like them”—that’s not a green light?]

* * *
Moments later.
A new face appeared at the analyst desk.
“Ahem. Yes. Hello everyone. I’m Cheongyeongchae—I was a player, then became a coach after military service, and now I’m here as an analyst.”
Hahahaha, that’s hilarious!
Hahaha, that’s so funny!
Running through time like crazy lol
Why did you switch careers so fast lol
-Are you retiring today too?
-Your hair looks like broccoli but why is your name Cheongyeongchae? Seriously don’t get it
“What a crazy career~”
Goguma chimed in from the side, then introduced herself as well.
“Hello everyone… I lost all my chips and followed my friend to the Hangang! I’m Gobong, the new analyst.”
Hahahahaha Hangang hahaha
It’s not a Han River view, it’s a Han River horror.
-But seriously, how is a slave doing analysis?
Danmuji, who was the caster, explained the situation.
“Due to someone’s chaotic commentary earlier, we selected two people who can focus entirely on analysis right now.”
The “someone” Danmuji was referring to was obvious to everyone.
Someone lol
Almonds lol
Nut shake lolololol
Anti-stalking law passes ㄷㄷ
-So what about the rest?
Danmuji read the chat and answered.
“Well, the rest of you just cheer like you’re at a horse racing track.”
“Wooooow~!”
“Let’s go!”
Lemon, Hong-cha, and Almond waved their hands and cheered.
-kkkkkkkkkkkkk
-kkkkkkracetrackkkk
-Yeah, it’s basically a racetrack lol
Did you hear what Yi Sun-sin said ㅠㅠ
“Then I’ll leave the commentary to you two and head over to place my chip bets.”
Danmuji descended from the commentary booth and made his way to the betting station.
But then—
‘Is this really all I have?’
The chips remaining for me were far too few.
At this rate, the outcome was already decided.
It was about avoiding last place.
Gobong had ended up in last.
“But since Gobong’s already in last place anyway, is there even a point in betting?”
Hong-cha was already saying something like this.
“What should we give to first place?”
“First place is already decided too.”
lol
-Huk lol
-How did both last and first get decided in one round lol
“You don’t know that though?”
Hong-cha had won earlier, so she had a decent amount of chips.
“Come on. The chip difference is way too big, and it’s only one more round. If Almond just bets wherever you do, it’s a guaranteed win.”
Just as Danmuji said, unless Almond was an idiot, a guaranteed winning strategy existed.
-Almond just needs to bet high on the same place as Hong-cha and he wins lol
-The game’s basically over
-Look at Almond’s chips lol
“Hahaha!”
Whoooosh…!
Almond let his chips cascade down for all to see.
There were so many that you couldn’t count them at a glance.
-What’s with that laugh lol
-This is the Daegam
-He’s just genuinely smart lol
-Daegam triangle lol
-Loyalty betting hopeful edition
-Wow
-That laugh is hilarious lol
It was only natural, having placed an all-in bet on Choi Sa-rang, who had high odds.
Lemon raises her hand with a suggestion.
“Excuse me~! Everyone? If it ends like this, the betting becomes meaningless, doesn’t it?”
Lemon raised his hand to speak, but his gaze was fixed on Almond.
Since he was essentially in first place, he held the deciding vote.
“Could we do a training camp meta once? Commander? Yes? Hehehehe?”
Lemon suggested flipping the board with a sly smile.
The idea was to give everyone a chance like in the training camp—whoever won at the end could reverse all the scores.
“But we should give first place some benefits too.”
“What kind of benefits for first place?”
When Almond asked, everyone seemed to be thinking it over.
Truth was, nothing had been decided yet.
“Hmm… using Gobong as a human sedan chair?”
Hong-cha offered quite a violent suggestion.
“Wait, hold on?! It’s a training camp meta! Why am I automatically Gobong?!”
“Hey! Shut your mouth! Gobong!”
Danmuji barked at him.
-kkkkkkkkkkk
-It’s already over lol
-Just shut up lol
Haha, damn it lol
“Losing all your chips by going all-in on the first bet? The training camp won’t save you from that either~”
Lemon added with a teasing tone.
“Hey, we’re doing this training camp meta because of you. You ruined the game.”
Hong-cha even went so far as to blame Gobong entirely.
hahaha for real
Gobong is crying, crying ㅠㅠ
-That’s actually true
“Ugh…”
Gobong gritted his teeth, then suddenly shouted at Cheongyeongchae sitting next to him.
“It’s your fault! Sergeant Im!”
“What?! Who are you calling a sergeant, you bastard?!”
“If a pro loses to an amateur, you should just quit! You’re not even fit to be an analyst!”
“No, damn it, but this loss doesn’t make sense? My ban-pick was completely optimal?!”
It was a common sight when playing Ril.
The peculiar thing was that they hadn’t actually played Ril—they’d just run the simulator.
“Well, let’s leave that fool alone and discuss the first place reward. The coaches are still picking their players anyway.”
Danmuji proposed moving the discussion forward.
“Actually, I’ve already thought of something.”
Almond, who naturally had the most say, brought this up.
“Oh? What is it? Let’s do whatever you want, hyung. You’re in first place after all.”
He would choose his first place reward as he wished, and then redistribute chips through the training camp meta.
That was the proposal from the other three.
‘Honestly, if you just do that much, it’s absolutely perfect.’
‘Anyway, I’m already first place, so what’s the big deal about changing the format.’
‘Oh, nice~’
They all clearly thought this method was good.
They were prepared to accept any proposal that came their way.
After all, anyone could end up in first place.
But then─
“The first-place finisher should handle the strategy calls during the tournament.”
“…?”
A sudden silence fell.
It was a proposal he’d made from the beginning.
He still hadn’t given up on it.
-?
-??
Here you go again with that ㅁㅊㅋㅋㅋㅋ
hahahaha
Lol, you’re so obsessed with that guy, it’s ridiculous.
No lol
Are you seriously trying to mess up the competition? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-That’s putting the cart before the horse
Lemon, Hong-cha, and Danmuji’s gazes quickly met.
“Ah. Then let’s just forget I said anything~”
“Right. Right. What kind of training camp meta is this. Acting your age.”
Hahahahahahaha
Hahaha, damn it.
Cut losses lol
-We can’t actually ruin the real tournament for content
Tsk.
Almond’s expression turned regretful, and he spoke like a threat.
“Then you won’t support me? I’ll just take first place myself.”
“Ah, yes, of course. But there’s no reward for first place, you know?”
Hohohoho!?
Danmuji laughed wickedly.
As long as he didn’t come in last place, what was there to worry about?
But then─
“I’m going to transfer my 15 chips to Goguma.”
“…What?”
Danmuji’s expression suddenly hardened.
“There was nothing said about transfers being impossible.”
“…That… Um….”
That was true.
-kkkkkkkkkkk
-Hukkkk
-Wow
-What a clever young man…
“Hey, nobody said anything about transferring chips!”
“Nobody said there’s no first-place reward either.”
What kind of sophistry was this?
If something doesn’t exist, it doesn’t exist—did I need to announce it doesn’t exist?
But Danmuji found himself at a loss for words.
Why?
The moment Almond forcibly transferred his chips to Goguma, I would be the one plummeting to last place.
A long string of memories from my time as Danbong flashed through my mind.
“Ah… No way!”
Danmuji clutched his head, imagining something.
-What’s up kkkkk
-What did you remember
-You… You remembered it?
“W-what do you want?”
“The first-place finisher takes command.”
-Ahahkkkkkk
ㅠㅠ (crying/tears)
-This crazy guy kkkkk
-Gotta give up on the platform championship
-What a clever young man…
“Wait, let me have a quick meeting….”
“Okay.”
Danmuji pulled Hong-cha aside to talk privately.
“Hong-cha. Let’s accept the deal first, then you and I bet opposite ways. Who are you betting on?”
“I’m betting on Tottia.”
“Huh? Why?”
Actually, I was planning to bet on Tottia myself.
“Why? No matter what, how can Choi Sun-sin beat Tottia? Even if she’s a second-division player, she’s a professional coach.”
That was right.
Professional coaches who run the Ril Champs simulator three or more times a day.
For them, winning inside the Ril Champs simulator was an extremely difficult task.
“Ha….”
The problem was that I shared the same thought.
“You want to see Ttok-cheong giving orders?”
“…What?!”
Hahahahahahahaha lol
Why are you so surprised? lol
-Damn, Ttok-cheong’s really that strong~
Black tea reaction lol
“What does that have to do with this?”
“It has everything to do with it.”
Danmuji explained it carefully.
“It’s because of Almond’s foolproof method to guarantee first place.”
“What is it?”
“Betting together with you.”
“…!”
“If we just contain you, Almond gets first place. By betting on the same side as you and betting just one chip higher than you, that’s all it takes. The rest of the chips we just protect.”
That was it.
If we win, Almond naturally takes first place, and if we lose, Hong-cha, the strong contender for first, loses with us, so we maintain first place.
“Then what do we do?”
If we bet just slightly higher than Hong-cha, Almond’s victory is guaranteed.
“So you need to raise your bet, right? Go to a place with a high probability of losing and go all in.”
“!”
Danmuji’s plan was this:
Hong-cha raises the betting chips to a place where the odds look bleak.
Going all in.
If that happens, Almond will inevitably suffer heavy losses too.
But what if Danmuji wins big at that moment?
With the increased odds and relative advantage, we’d take first place and avoid the disaster of the Knight Order’s command becoming Ttok-cheong.
This was the last remaining option.
“O… Okay. I’ll cooperate.”
After hearing Danmuji’s calculations and plan, Hong-cha had no choice but to accept.
“We can’t let Ttok-cheong lead us.”
Hahahaha, for real
-Yeah, that’s about right
“Straight up, the Qing Dynasty’s period of strength was a disaster, for real.”
You can’t do that in platform wars lol
One under the straight line lol
“Then I’ll go all in─”
Hong-cha said that and picked up the chips.
“All in.”
Whoosh.
One person pushing all their chips forward.
“!?”
“…?”
Everyone stared at me as if I were a madman.
‘What? You said you’d bet following me?’
‘…What is this?’
I didn’t need to go all in.
Yet I suddenly went all in.
And again, against Choi Sa-rang.
“Ahhhhh!”
Gobong exclaimed excitedly.
“All in again! This is the realm of faith!”
-Oh
-Again?
-kkk why does he keep going all in
-Is Almond maybe only able to bet all in? kkk
“Why did you go all in right now?”
Cheongyeongchae asked with a puzzled expression.
“I don’t know!”
“No… w-why did you really go all in?”
“I said I don’t know! Don’t try to figure it out!”
-kkkkk experienced one kkk
-Gobong the know-it-all kkk
-The man who only goes all in lol
-“Because I like her”
-Real talk why did he do it? kkk
-Isn’t this flirting?
With this, Danmuji and Hong-cha’s plan changed.
Naturally, they bet everything on Ottia, the opposite side from Almond.
There was no other way to stop the Ttok-cheong Stronghold.
“Ah, Coach! The player roster registration is complete! We’re starting the draft!”
At those words, I smirked.
‘Finally….’
Leading the Knight Order and commanding them to win the inter-platform championship—the opportunity to prove my intellect has arrived.
