The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 5 Episode 182
56. A Variable (3)
“Whoa whoa whoa!? Team A! Team A!”
“Waaaaaahhhhh!”
Team A’s match roared with even louder cheers than Team B.
While Cheese’s fanbase had grown since before.
“Waaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!!”
“This! Cheese did this!?”
But more than anything, it was because expectations had been so low.
“W-wait, really 1st place!? Actually!?”
“Wow! This is insane!”
Unlike Paprika, who had divided both teams with balanced distribution, Cheese had allocated all the top-ranked teams to Team B.
In other words, Team A contained only lower-ranked teams, save for Motmotmot, who sat dead last.
For 1st place to go to Cheese in such circumstances—the audience simply had to lose their minds.
“How is this even possible!?”
“Jackpot! Switching was the right call! Yes!”
Especially since many in the audience had just changed their bets moments ago.
They confirmed their choice had been correct, and as the rush of gambling pleasure mixed with the satisfaction of their own keen judgment, dopamine flooded their brains.
“See, babe~ I told you your brother knows how to read a game~!”
“You’re the best, bro!”
The boyfriend who had increased his girlfriend’s betting stakes through his own judgment felt his shoulders rise to the heavens.
“That’s Cheese! Hanging in there till the end, just like that! Squeeeeeze! Stretching like Mozzarella, squeeeeeze!”
“Squeeeeeze!”
It was absolute pandemonium.
Everyone wanted to shout cheers like madmen if they could.
But there was no proper chant to be found.
Cheese’s history was too short, after all.
‘Still… is that all there is?’
‘Yeah.’
So instinctively, they shouted a single simple chant.
“Meong!”
They all linked arms and called out one syllable at a time.
“Cheong!”
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Someone kept the beat with a drum.
“Meong!!”
It was impossible to tell if this was praising the Foolish Youth who had developed the radio strategy, or mocking Paprika’s stupidity.
“Cheong!!”
It didn’t matter.
Either way, it was what they all wanted to hear.
Amidst the roaring cheers of the crowd, there was one fan hunched over so deeply he looked ready to crawl into a mouse hole.
“Uuuuu….”
It was Gaji-bokkeun.
There was a reason for his behavior.
-Hahahaha
-What a pathetic loser kkk
-Caught red-handed kkk
All the fans surrounding him, arm in arm, were screaming at him relentlessly.
“MEOW!!!”
Rubisword even held a megaphone to Gaji-bokkeun’s ear and bellowed into it.
Gaji-bokkeun buried his head and wrapped his arms around it, pleading desperately.
“S-stop! Please stop! This cheap speaker’s gonna blow out!”
The more he begged, the more excited the fans became.
They even pointed at him mockingly while screaming.
“CHEONG!!!”
The viewers watching from home without arena tickets were absolutely loving it.
-Kekekekekekekekekekekekeke
-Kekekeke and kekeke this is seriously hilarious kekeke
-Gaji-bokkeun’s about to cry kekekeke
-Lmao why is he still supporting Paprika kekeke
-Hahahakekekekekekeke
-He really is foolish~
-That guy that time kekekekekekeke

* * *
The foolish youth’s cheering was loud enough to reach the analyst desk.
King Gul paused his analysis and said something.
“Ahhh… I, I should say we’re in the field(?) right now! The energy from these virtual spectators! I can really feel the heat!? It’s incredible?”
Though it was virtual reality, somehow the energy felt genuine.
“Yes…! That’s right! But is Paprika saying that the foolish youth is stupid? The foolish youth isn’t even on Team A, right?”
Huyeon Yu tapped the strategy board King Gul had been explaining and asked.
“No, if you tap it like that while speaking… it makes it sound like I’m the one saying Paprika is stupid.”
King Gul had been in the middle of explaining what was lacking in Paprika’s strategy.
If he answered carelessly to her comment, it would definitely end up as a weird clip.
“Kekeke~”
Huyeon Yu regretted that King Gul had caught on.
She was hosting a program called ‘Deconstruction Analysis’ that specialized in putting guests in difficult positions, so she always had to be careful.
-Kekekekekekekekekekekekekekekeke lol
-Kekekeke got the clip~
-Kekekekeke the announcer’s got sharp instincts
-Kekekeke yeah that’s right
-True to the Deconstruction Analysis host kekekeke
“Huh? Everyone? Just a moment….”
That was when it happened.
Huyeon Yu seemed to have heard something from the production team’s channel.
“Ah, right now… um… cheering that disparages the opposing team might not be permitted…. Something like this is coming from the organizers? Did the Paprika supporters lodge a complaint?”
-Wow so pathetic kekekekekekeke
-These guys just throw a tantrum whenever they don’t like something and try to censor everything kekekekeke
-Kekekekekekekekekekekekekekekeke
-But this is cheering for the foolish youth?kekeke
-Kekekekeke you foolish bastardskekeke
In sports, jeering at the opposing team is normally part of the culture.
But this was an area where opinions were divided.
In the emerging esports industry, the view on it wasn’t favorable.
“Ah… y, yes?”
King Gul swallowed nervously, worried the situation might escalate.
Wasn’t he an analyst for Ril Champs, the largest esports organization?
In an era where one wrong move could result in trucks and wreaths piling up in front of the company building.
He had to watch his words.
‘Just stay quiet.’
King Gul, who had been chattering away so enthusiastically, sealed his lips as gracefully as a noblewoman at a wedding.
-King Gul going silent?kekekekekeke
-The embodiment of Narag kekekekekeke
-Lolkekekekeke suddenly going quiet is so damn funny
-He’s being cautious again, ugh.
-Kekekeke his expression kekeke
-Don’t pretend to lag, King Gul!
A moment later.
“Ah, surprising news! Meongcheong countered that it’s a cheer slogan for the Foolish Youth, and Paprika fired back saying Team A doesn’t have a Foolish Youth, so what are you talking about!? And then there was a re-counter…”
Huyeon Yu recited the Production Team’s words as if she were casting a game.
-Damage control lol
-The fans are losing the lane war too kekekekeke
-Kekekeke counter to the counter to the counter lol
-Are these elementary schoolers kekekekeke
“Remarkably! Since the radio strategy came from the Foolish Youth’s head! It’s been ruled as a shout-out to him! Cheese! Not guilty!!!”
She jumped to her feet and pronounced the verdict of innocence.
Bang! Bang!
The Cheese supporters in the audience then excitedly stood up and cheered.
“Waaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”
“Foolish! Foolish! Foolish! Foolish!”
-Kekekekekekekekekekekekeke
-Kekekekekekekemkekekeke
-Lolkekekeke
-They’re enjoying this more than the match kekeke
-If they stopped the Foolish Youth bit, it’d be a disaster kekeke
“Wow! Foolish Youth! Even his nickname is strategically positioned!?”
Only after the verdict did King Gul finally open his mouth.
-?
-He was quiet the whole time kekekekekeke
-Was he even here?
-What kekekeke
-Kekekekekekekekekeke
-Now he speaks kekeke
There was no helping it, even if it was shameless.
‘I need to make a living too.’
This was the fate of a professional analyst.

* * *
Given the atmosphere at the venue was like this.
What was happening in the fully unleashed community was as predictable as fire.
During their one-on-one exchanges so far, things had been relatively balanced.
But now, for the first time, it had become a two-on-one situation.
Team B would struggle even more against Paprika.
So Cheese’s supporters had grown incredibly confident.
1st Place) Paprika’s trash bastards are pathetic losers lol
==== ====
These idiots are dissing them lol what’s this about asking them to take it down?? lol wow lol
They don’t even realize how stupid they are lol
==== ====
-lol the title is so primitive lol
-Ah so satisfying lol
-Trash bastards lol
-lol
-I mean it could actually be against them…
-lol
-They really pretended to be Teto fans but turned out to be trash lol
With the top post being like this, there was no need to look at what came below.
2nd Place) Why Paprika is a trash viewer
3rd Place) Team A Highlights
4th Place) Paprika’s evaluation of Cheese’s combat strength report~
5th Place) Current Paprika internal sentiment lol
.
.
.
They were all just insults toward Paprika with different methods.
Discussion about Almond came up without fail either.
In fact—from their perspective—Almond’s strategy accounted for over seventy percent of this game’s victory share.
6th Place) What? Cheese has way too few professional players?
==== ====
(Photo)
Yeah~ that’s why he’s a “radio” pro~
==== ====
The photo showed Almond burning all of Paprika completely, turning them into fertile soil.
-lol
-lol radio lol
-Big Big Boss
-lol
-Burn it all down~
-Kekekekekekeke
-Almond’s Fireball is insane
-Radio Pro lol
-Way stronger than the actual pro?
As Cheese grew increasingly dominant, Paprika naturally created their own shelter.
[Paprika Shelter]
They had no choice but to gather here and talk amongst themselves.
However, unlike the cohesive Cheese, those with confidence in their skills found this shelter to be a poor choice.
[Team A losing is absolutely ridiculous]
[Kalchi isn’t at fault the strategy was garbage from the start]
[Tottia lost to some unknown coach apparently just cut him]
[Underwater screwed up too what lol]
[Underwater started completely stripped and got 2nd place so what are the rest doing?]
[Kalchi fanboys swarming and making stuff up]
The forums were flooded with nothing but attacks on each other.
The cause of defeat could only be found within themselves.

* * *
With the atmosphere like this, a solemn air hung over Paprika Coach’s channel as Team B prepared to deploy.
At least they weren’t fighting each other.
They believed in Tottia.
‘It’s not Tottia’s fault.’
‘Right….’
Anyone who understood the game could tell that Tottia provided high-level coaching.
Besides, they had all agreed with Tottia’s strategy themselves. They weren’t completely free from responsibility either.
‘The opponent is just too strong.’
But as much as they hated to admit it, the opposing coaches were truly exceptional.
This made them even more determined.
It set Tottia ablaze.
He analyzed the previous matches without even blinking.
Both Team A and Team B, all of it.
‘Is this it?’
Thud.
After organizing his strategy completely, he slammed the desk.
“This is it… with this, we can win in Team B as well.”
He had discovered something.
“Spread it to each team, then gather back here.”
Everyone nods with resolute eyes.
“Yes!”

* * *
A moment later.
“Ah, everyone. We’re back at the broadcast desk. Apparently, King Gul spent the entire day at the analysis desk doing nothing but criticizing Paprika? My goodness, well… it’s true that Turtle made a mistake, but…”
“No, no! That’s not what I meant!”
The Caster teased King Gul lightly as the broadcast began.
-Kekekekekekekeke
-King Gul’s totally backpedaling lol
-Kekekeke ah kekeke
-But he did criticize though, right?
-That’s facts~
As the camera returned to the broadcast desk, the match immediately kicked off.
“Now, Team B’s airship is bringing the players onto the field.”
The stadium’s display screen zoomed in on the players’ faces.
“Woooooah…!”
Each player’s fans cheered loudly, and the players waved their hands.
Then.
“Woooooooooooooooah!!”
An enormous roar erupted from the crowd.
Almond had entered while waving his hand.
“Ah, Player Almond. Ah… the cheering is incredible. Is it because of his good looks? Or perhaps because of his strategy? King Gul?”
“Well… I never thought I’d have to seriously ponder that question. This time, I genuinely have no idea.”
-Kekekekekekekekekeke
-Kekekeke real talk why would you even have to think about that
-The true return of Ttok-cheong lol
-It was obviously his face…
-Kekekekeke now it’s actually a dilemma
-I really don’t know;
“Well, anyway, the match is about to start! Cheese’s airship takes off! And following that, Paprika’s airship also rises!”
Cheers from each platform’s fans poured out from the stands.
This time, Paprika’s cheering was equally fierce.
A desperate determination filled with intensity could be felt.
“Ah, Paprika! That’s right. You’ve got to fight! This match is also unpredictable!”
“Absolutely! Paprika distributed their team with balance from the start! So there’s plenty of variables they can create here!”
Team B match. Second round.
Much of this tournament’s fate would be decided here.
