The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 5 Episode 168
52. Group B (1)
Crowds flooded into the Streamer Garden.
The server stuttered momentarily from the surge.
After such a long wait for this event, there were plenty of eager spectators ready to voice their opinions.
Especially the Paprika players who had just secured their first victory.
1st) Swept away all that mold and ahhhh, feels so good~
2nd place) That Kalchi moving just now is crazy
3rd) Cheese melting so smoothly
4th) Cheese all out, is this real?
5th place) Forgot the cheese topping lol
Most of the posts seemed to mock the Cheese platform’s skill level.
Though Cheese’s users felt the sting, their defeat left them without the firepower to strike back.
They couldn’t even post issue threads, and only a handful of stubborn independents fought back in the comments.
-Seriously, already doing this?
-Paprika fans are so annoying
-This post is about to get “Chiki-cha’d”.
Out of 10 games, you’re making a fuss after watching just 1 game lol
The price of resistance was devastating.
Enormous ridicule and criticism poured down upon them.
Trying hard lol
Out of 10 games, 1 game? If you’re good at the game, seeing one means you understand all ten. lol
How am I supposed to talk about games when I don’t even know what to watch lol lol lol lol lol cheese moldy shakes
(Amazing fact) Bubble gum hasn’t even come out yet lololol
“What’s with Chikichat lol, that only works in Cheese, how would it work here?”
The Platform Championship.
This is war.
This war unfolds across three distinct levels.
First, the war where Streamers enter and fight directly.
Second, the promotional war between platforms.
Third, the community war where fans prove their faith.
These wars seem separate, but they’re actually all connected.
When Streamers lose, fans are affected. Then naturally, promotions suffer as well.
Ultimately, what matters most is the Streamers’ wins and losses, and the fans’ morale.
The former is the Streamers’ responsibility, but the latter is the fans’.
So someone among the fans created it.
[Cheese Shelter]
This was a small garden created to support Cheese—a kind of refuge.
Cheese’s fans gathered here, driven out from everywhere else, licking each other’s wounds.
Cheese is so sad ㅠㅠ
Come back, Trivia ㅠㅠㅠ
[Mang-sa-yong-ryong, you bastard]
[But damn, they’re getting crushed…]
[Group A looks like Paprika will definitely get at least 4 teams through…]
It’s fine, it’s only 1 game lol we’ll change our whole approach later if we win
While sorrowful and disheartening comments flooded in, hopeful remarks had dried up completely.
Why?
Because the Analyst and King Gul were painting an extremely dark picture of the future.
[According to Red Glasses, it’s basically hopeless…]
==== ====
Did you see the analyst’s expression after the game ended? Wasn’t it literally just the look of “the broadcast is ruined”? lol
==== ====
[From King Gul’s analysis desk]
==== ====
If they clash again like this, there’s no way out.
The depth of the 25-person strategy gap is too wide.
We can only hope that Cheese’s Group B brings something different to the table.
==== ====
-Red Glasses really knows how to hype things up lol
King Gyul said that too? Crazy.
-Is Group B different???
└They would’ve shared good strategies while practicing together… how could it be different?
-Ah… it’s over
When the panelists, who rarely spoke in such extreme terms, expressed such negative views about Cheese’s side, the fans grew even more anxious.
[Is what King Gul said possible? Could their strategies actually be different??]
Above all, the solution or hope that King Gul mentioned seemed practically impossible to realize.
-AB How could our strategies be different lol we practiced together lol
Yeah, I figured as much ㅠ
I’m not sure…
The idea that each group would have different strategies seemed unrealistic.
The only remaining hope was the individual physical abilities each team possessed.
Since Group B had Cheese’s top-ranked teams advancing.
Just overwhelming them with pure physicality ㅠㅠ Then at least 3 teams would probably go up ㅠㅠ
Even if we go to a 3-team match, it’s over.
└Once you’re outnumbered in teams, it’s just over
Haven’t you seen them doing 25 vs 25? lol
At most, only about 3 teams could hope for a physical overwhelming victory.
The problem was that even if 3 teams advanced, they’d face matches of 35 vs 15 in the main tournament.
It was obvious that Cheese would have nothing they could do at that point.
-We absolutely have to get five teams through to the main tournament
In other words, whether it’s Cheese or Paprika, they absolutely must advance five teams to the main tournament.
-Damn…
-What
-I see
And the teamwork with [them] is seriously dog shit lol
-Why would they make such a rule
But honestly, the rules aren’t really the problem lol, it’s actually super fun when you’re winning haha
└Originally Cheese was at a disadvantage, so if teaming is allowed, Cheese would actually have the advantage…
└That’s because they’re losing^^
└Wow, one of those fanatics showed up
No matter what possibilities I explored, all I could see was despair.
Then someone ignited a single spark of hope.
[Wait, but hasn’t the Boni dispatch strategy been revealed yet?]
Whoosh!
As if a real flame had been lit, comments poured in like a flood.
-Right
-Oh
-That’s true???
-What
Looking at it now, there are actually slaves only in Group B.
└But that’s just one Boni…
└Anyway
-Didn’t they just abandon it?
Are you really gonna do that? lol
└Paprika does it that way too
└Paprika’s strategy is pretty simple, like just playing soccer as a mob, but the Boni dispatch strategy seems like it would be really difficult
└Almond’s brain can’t control that anyway
I’m crying / I’m sad
Lol dispatch strategy ㅋㅋㅋㅋ now that I think about it, do people even use that???
.
.
.
They wanted to hold onto hope.
But they didn’t truly understand the dispatch strategy.
Cheese’s side had kept the dispatch strategy under strict confidentiality.
The feedback sessions were conducted with the microphone and screen turned off, so no one among the viewers knew about it.
Few even believed it was feasible in reality.
After all, the dispatch strategy they’d seen was far too incomplete—an absurd notion.

* * *
After the analysis desk segment ended.
The Caster opened the broadcast.
“Alright! Group B matches are about to begin! The players are boarding the airship now!”
“As you’re speaking! Right now, the player to watch! The key player! Their footage is coming up!”
“Starting with Paprika, the platform that won earlier!”
As the Caster gestured, the screen lit up.
[KEY PLAYER]
[Omelette]
“Ah. Paprika’s key player! Oh! Oooooomelette! Leeeeet!!!”
With the Caster’s name call, his stats scrolled across the screen and his career history appeared.
King Gul began the explanation.
“He’s a famous pro player, of course. But this player—he absolutely never participated in survival matches! And now he’s shown up!?”
The Analyst answered.
“Yes. Ah… that’s probably why money is so terrifying, isn’t it? Omelette would shout ‘Make Ril Great Again!’ and say Ril needs to return to basics. Survival matches? Escort matches? Get rid of these pathetic casual modes. He was someone who said things like that every time. But the Platform Championship was too big a stage to refuse, apparently.”
-Kekekekekekekekekekeke
-Kekekeke
What the heck, haha
In the end, he was a clown lol
-Kekekekekekekeke
“and traitors lol”
-He’s a clown alright, a streamer
-But he’s the key player???
The Caster asked the part that viewers would naturally be curious about.
“Ah, so he must have barely participated in survival matches. But despite that, he’s the key player?”
“Ah, yes. Despite that, he took on a significant carry role for the team and brought Brunch Team up to 3rd place in scrim rankings. Currently, Paprika in this Group B is evaluated as the strongest team, and he’s their strongest player.”
-Wow
As expected, you’re really talented lol
I’m crying so hard ㅠㅠ
-When he tries, he does well~
-Ah, so that’s him, the really loud one
-Omelette, fighting!
That snake bastard switched modes lol
“Ah, excellent. Player Omelette’s stats are quite evenly distributed in the upper-middle range, befitting a former pro—he looks incredibly strong. There’s not much difference from the ‘Kalchi’ player we saw earlier?”
Kalchi was a former pro player evaluated as Paprika’s top ace.
King Gul interjected and corrected.
“No! During his playing days, there was a huge difference!? It’s just that the display doesn’t show up to that level here! The graph is small!”
“Ah…! So the display isn’t showing everything?”
-Kekekekekekekekekekekekeke
Ah… hahaha
-Back in his playing days, he was beyond overpowered
-Kekekeke anyway here only Challengers show up and get destroyed kekeke
-Kekekeke
“Now let’s see Cheese’s key player. Cheese took a crushing defeat in Group A, so we need someone truly exceptional to step up.”
As the Caster gave the signal, the screen transitioned to the next player.
“Ah… yes… well….”
The Caster was flustered.
Was it because the expected player didn’t appear as the key player?
No, that wasn’t it.
The expected person did appear.
Looking at the face, it was definitely that person.
But the name was different.
[Foolish Youth]
An unfamiliar and shocking name.
“Ah… isn’t this Almond? Are there really two people who look like this….”
The Caster adjusted his glasses and asked.
He wondered if he was getting confused in his old age.
-Kekekekekekekekekekeke
Hahaha, seriously haha
-Ah it’s his first appearance kekeke
-This is insane kekeke
-Ahahkekekekekeke
-The foolish stat lives up to the foolish nickname kekeke
That’s so dumb lol
-What are these stats kekeke
-Strategy “0” kekekeke
The viewers were dying of laughter at the Caster’s reaction.
King Gul explained for the Caster’s benefit.
“Looking at strategy 0 and physical MAX, it’s definitely him. And his appearance stat also appears to be MAX right now.”
For the Platform Championship, they’d created stats for the players as entertainment.
In reality, they were completely unreliable numbers meant purely for joking around and conversation.
There’s no way Almond’s strategy stat could actually be ‘0’, right?
“Ah, there’s an appearance stat too?”
There was no appearance stat.
“No, that’s just visible, Caster.”
“Ah….”
It’s just visible.
-Kekekekekekeke
-For real
-Why write it down when it’s just visible kekeke
I’m dying laughing ㅋㅋㅋ
Looks MAX insane.
-Actually the strongest stat
The Caster announced the name call loudly regardless.
“Ah, uh, anyway Key Player! Meong! Cheeeerrrung! Hanaaaaan! Young Laaaadyyyy!!!”
Pfft…!
Not only King Gul, but even Red Glasses, who maintained an expressionless face every time, turned his head and took a moment to compose himself.
Haha, seriously lol
The name call is so funny lolololol
Hahahahaha
-Truly a legendary nickname
-Wow…
That stupid young guy lol
Raucous laughter erupted throughout the entire stadium.
The camera captured Gaji-bokkeun, seated right next to Rubisword, convulsing with laughter.
-?
-??
-What’s that
What the heck is that lol
Why is the stir-fried vegetables so damn red? lol
-What’s that guy doing?
But surprisingly, Gaji-bokkeun was glowing red.
“Well, we’ve checked out the Key Player! Now let me introduce the players from Group B!”

* * *
Shwoooooooosh…!
[Players Entering]
I entered the stadium along with the Knight Order and all the other Group B players.
‘Oh.’
I was amazed by the scale—it was entirely different from the Nant Championship.
Group B had already watched Group A compete, so the shock should have been lessened, but it wasn’t.
“Waaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”
The enormous roar hit us, and everyone’s expressions hardened.
“Wow, there are so many.”
“Hearing it from here… the sound is insane.”
“Huh….”
Only Danmuji and I managed to keep our composure.
“Let’s go. It’s over there.”
I led them forward, reassuring the others.
I could see the airship for the survival match.
[Cheese Group B]
The airship itself was divided between Cheese and Paprika.
As we entered, I could see the other members.
“Phew. Did you see Group A? Daegam? We’re still doing it our way, right?”
“Yes. Jello. Actually, that’s better.”
Jello came over and confirmed the strategy again.
He looked noticeably nervous as well.
“Huh… So it’s true. Damn… My heart’s racing….”
Jello rarely participated in tournaments like this, so he wasn’t used to it.
Even large-scale collaborative broadcasts like the Cheese Village were unusual for him.
With Tribby gone and Cheese taking over, he was pushing himself hard for the platform’s revival.
“Let’s board now. Daegam.”
“Yes.”
With me leading, all of Group B from Cheese entered the airship.
Whoooosh…!
The airship lifted off.
Then all the spectators in the stadium came into view at once.
“Wow, damn….”
“Huh? What? Everyone’s going overboard.”
“Wasn’t it supposed to be 5 versus 5?”
The Streamers murmured among themselves.
That was because the window was covered in red light.
[Match Prediction]
[Paprika 7.6 : Cheese 2.4]
The previous match had completely changed people’s predictions about the outcome.
That was when it happened.
“Everyone, what are you doing! Team Leaders! To the map!”
I called out to everyone gathered in front of the map.
We had to choose where to land.
-Almond’s excited kkk
-Ah kkk you all have to split up~kkk
-The Foolish Youth is giving orders!
-kkkkkk
-Like he’d go if we told him to wear “Foolish Youth” on his head kkk
