The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 2 Episode 200
69. Got You, You Bastard (2)
Avatar of Ril is a broadcast hosted by Pollis. In other words, it’s a program with a certain level of prestige.
Given the circumstances, they obscure the nicknames of unspecified users appearing on the broadcast to protect their privacy.
Among Ril’s settings, there was an option to display only the avatar’s name instead of the nickname.
Of course, there was also a setting that made their faces appear only as the avatar’s appearance.
Thanks to this, the users’ privacy(?) might have been protected.
But the whereabouts of the Supporter who enthusiastically attempted trolling today became unclear.
Unlike typical trolling situations, since they played the game again later, proper punishment was difficult to enforce.
[Current incarnation of Ipril’s troll ‘Aehobak’ taxidermied ㅋㅋ]
However, one of the viewers watching today’s broadcast managed to track him down.
-Time for some proper education
Eat dinner in hell tonight, zucchini lol
Hahaha, I’ll throw it right away when I meet that bastard.
The furious viewers flocked to community posts, hoping Aehoback would be “educated,” but.
But there’s not much I can do about it lol
-What good does finding him do…
-Only criminals are having fun in Korea
I can’t really talk like that just because I threw out one game…lol
└What criminal…
All they could do was send insults through messages.
But even that becomes impossible if the person changes their nickname.
Then.
“Would the broadcast get more popular if we gave him some proper education?”
I heard the PD mutter this.
‘Popular broadcast? Why would they worry about that.’
Avatar of Ril is actually a program with guaranteed viewership.
It’s an official introduction video of newly released avatars by Pollis.
Naturally, numerous Ril users will watch it.
Of course, videos that simply showcase skills tend to have higher viewership.
But if people want to understand more or are looking for entertainment value, they’ll watch this video.
In other words, consumers had no real alternatives.
So why would they worry about whether the broadcast becomes popular or not?
As if hearing my inner thoughts, the PD and the Writer next to him strike up a conversation.
“True, these days… there are so many videos introducing things like this… do we even need something like that?”
“Yeah. You know, ‘proper education’ stuff sells well when made into shorts.”
“Right. Our format has gotten a bit outdated. It’d be nice if we could draw some attention with shorts.”
Ah. So that’s what it was. I understood immediately.
It seems the competitiveness has dropped as lighter and more convenient introduction videos started flooding all over YouTube compared to Avatar of Ril.
“But how do we give proper education? If we force it, it’ll actually look strange.”
“Right. It’s ambiguous. I should’ve given him a proper trolling. But with this five-on-five team format, we won’t see that kind of player again.”
I watched the broadcast screen for a moment.
The format involved assembling a five-person team—King Gul, the host, and a few staff members—to battle against opponents.
When you run the game with a five-person team composition, the opponent is also a five-person team.
In a five-versus-five team match, trolls don’t appear. Everyone already knows each other, so would intentional trolling even exist?
‘So expecting a new troll is unrealistic.’
No matter how specialized Almond’s speech patterns were at producing trolls, if he managed to make someone troll even in this situation, that would be Almond’s fault.
‘Then the best option is to properly educate that guy from earlier, right?’
I turned the idea over in my mind.
Truth be told, I’m not a gamer, so I don’t fully understand how badly that supporter Aehoback messed up.
I’m just participating in this match hoping the broadcast will be successful.
‘Ah.’
Something suddenly occurred to me.
“Um, over here….”
I approached the PD and spoke.
“Yes?”
“I think we might be able to give him a proper lesson.”
The PD’s eyes widened at the unexpected suggestion from an unlikely source.
‘This is Almond’s manager who came along.’
It was unusual for a manager to offer input when this should be the broadcast writers’ job.
Still, it wasn’t particularly enticing. When non-industry people showed up and offered a few suggestions, they rarely worked out well.
“…How would you do that?”
Nevertheless, the PD asked out of courtesy, noting the manager’s seemingly enthusiastic expression.
Though without much expectation.

* * *
The second verification of the new incarnation proceeds with five players.
This is to see how Sori as an incarnation can be utilized in team compositions. It’s likely a more meaningful verification for team ranked matches than solo ranked.
King Gul arranges the composition and participates directly in the play.
Rather than simply playing a five-player ranked match, the production team recruits players to oppose this composition.
In other words, they bring in one more guest at this point.
Of course, not to this filming location, but online.
“Well. We’re about to start the betting soon. Who the guest is will be important, right?”
And this guest is usually a professional gamer or someone with professional experience.
I can’t translate this as it’s not a complete word or phrase in Korean. “-ㅇㅇ” appears to be a partial or incomplete text fragment, possibly censored or abbreviated characters. Could you provide more context or a complete phrase?
-If they bring some ridiculous kid we can’t win lol
-Who is it?
“It’s Popcorn!”
Boom.
With cheap sound effects, Popcorn’s professional-era plays flow across the screen.
[Championship! Worlds championship!!!]
A caster’s thunderous shout as he lifts the trophy.
Beside him, Jeon-ja-pa from his professional days is visible.
-That’s legendary for real
-Is this balance even right???
-He’s been resting too long, he’s lost it lol
-He’s Master tier now lol
-Damn, the fundamentals are insane
Of course, Popcorn hasn’t maintained the same skill level from those days. After his Worlds championship, he only played for about two more seasons than Jeon-ja-pa. And that was in the American league.
He had already earned enough money and was enjoying a free life in retirement.
I hear he’s preparing to start a food truck business. It was his dream since childhood.
[Ah. Ah. Hello.]
Popcorn’s voice comes through the voice chat.
“Wow. Popcorn. It’s been forever, right? How have you been lately? Did you start the food truck?”
[Ah. The launch is right around the corner. I came out to advertise that]
-lol so blatant
-Out in the open lol
-lol
“I see. Do you sell popcorn?”
[Unfortunately it’s not that simple. I sell something called Cuban sandwiches. I really enjoyed eating these when I was active in America. There’s almost none in Korea.]
-Salary Lupin era lol
-He didn’t just steal the salary, he stole the recipe too?
-Lol a patriot, brought back dollars and recipes
-lol the decline era…
[Hakuna Matata! Please use us a lot! We’re starting from Yeouido!]
“Ah~ Yes. Understood!”
The host cut off Popcorn’s words.
“Alright. You heard that, right? Former champion Food Truck CEO versus Caster and Streamer. Who will win? Everyone watching live right now. Betting is open, so place your bets! King Gul is number one! Popcorn is number two~~”
That’s right.
This match would even have betting involved.
-Food truck CEO hiding his power lol 222
-The food truck CEO we always went to turned out to be a World Champion!? lol voting 2~
-11
-I believe in Nut Fans 1111
-22222
-2
The chat seemed split between 1 and 2, but…
“Wow. People are honest in front of points, huh?”
“Aha. I hear there are many Almond viewers here too. Isn’t that too much?”
The voting results were anything but balanced.
2 was overwhelmingly dominant.
[1: 9%]
[2: 91%]
The reason was obvious, really.
King Gul, who crafted the composition, has deep understanding of Ril, and Almond is an excellent player as well.
But no matter how much of a Ril master one is, it’s difficult to beat a team that includes a former pro who once dominated Worlds with a hastily assembled composition based on a newly released avatar.
-No matter what, Popcorn can’t win lol
-How do you win with the avatar that just came out
-This is definitely 2
-Popcorn’s skill level right now is literally diamond tier
-I’m gonna rake in some sweet reverse betting on 1.
“Wow. These people are voting without even hearing my composition, aren’t they?”
King Gul spoke as if wronged, but the host told him the reality.
“Yes. If they’d heard it, maybe it wouldn’t have even reached 1%.”
-lololol real talk
-Always bringing garbage entertainment combos lol
-lol
-Real talk lol
“Ah. Everyone should know this. Only King Gul has the ban card. The other side has no way to stop our composition.”
After all, the whole point was to experiment with the composition. If the opponent bans the key picks, what’s the use? That’s why this rule was introduced.
However, to maintain balance, King Gul could ban the enemy’s picks.
“You need to vote knowing this!”
The host made an effort to balance things out even slightly since voting time hadn’t ended yet, but…
[1: 11%]
[2: 89%]
It had only increased very slightly.
[Voting Closed]
The voting results were still overwhelmingly one-sided.
The host turned to Almond.
“Almond. What do you think of these voting results?”
“Ah….”
Almond paused briefly before speaking.
“Yes. I think it’s an expected result. Still, I’ll make sure to give plenty of points to those who voted for me.”
“That’s great fighting spirit! Now, King Gul.”
“Yes!”
“Explain your composition now.”
“Yes. My composition is called ‘Go Even If You Can’t Eat.'”
-??
-The name alone sounds ominous
-So they can’t get kills
Hahaha, damn it.
People who voted for -1 are crying their eyes out lol
Do it right, seriously.
-Why can’t we say eat and go?
The viewers who had voted for option 1 strongly objected to the ominous naming sense.
“Now, now. Let’s hear the explanation before we judge! King Gul, please continue!”
“Yes. We maximize the reset skill that triggers when Sori’s Rope Movement is involved in a kill. Even though Sori is the ADC, to properly perform, doesn’t she need to use the rope to close the distance to opponents?”
“That’s right. It does feel somewhat like an in-fighting ADC. The phrasing is contradictory, but it’s that feeling where you need to go in when necessary and sweep everything up.”
“Yes. The bow’s range isn’t as long as people think. So I designed a composition where we all charge in together, crush them, and induce Sori’s pentakill. In other words, a composition where you go in even if it looks like you can’t get kills. And whenever even one enemy dies, Sori with her rope cooldown reset goes wild!”
“Ah. What about the team composition?”
“First, top lane is Iron Ball.”
-???
ㅋㅋㅋㅋ (lol lol lol lol)
-You’re using that again?
-PTSD
-Revote! This vote is invalid!
-This is election fraud
“The atmosphere is getting tense again? Is Iron Ball a homage to the previous game?”
“No. It’s not like that.”
King Gul waved his hands dismissively, denying the suspicion.
“Isn’t it commonly used in charge compositions?”
“Yes. So what about mid lane?”
“This is the fun part. Mid is also Rope Assassin.”
“Ah… So it’s a Rope-Rope composition?”
“That’s right. And get this, the jungler is Dragon Tamer.”
“Ahhh…!”
-Real Rope vs Fake Rope lol
-Oh is this that thing lol
-Delivery combo lolol
“The Dragon Tamer can fly across almost the entire map when using Incarnation! But if the Rope Assassin throws a rope, they can fly along with them. That’s the kind of play they’re going for, right?”
“Yes. That’s correct, but that’s not all.”
“What else is there?”
“What if Sori also uses a rope? Sori can definitely hit the Incarnation with a rope too. And when that Incarnation moves, she follows along, right?”
-Wow
-Three-person movement?? Is that even possible lol
-Isn’t that a bug? That?
-Official caster exploiting bugs lollll
“No. This isn’t a bug!”
King Gul clarifies in response to the bug exploitation comment.
“But King Gul, the Rope Assassin can use ropes freely, so it’s possible for them. But for Sori, the rope pull is forced, right? If it all gets pulled while she’s flying, wouldn’t she just fall there?”
“I think if you charge faster than the rope’s pull speed, it works. That’s why I prepared the Supporter as ‘Time Mage – Chronoji’!”
-Insane combo for real
-It actually makes sense though lol
-Isn’t the bottom lane too difficult
-Charge in and die then revive?? Wow
-Theoretically not bad.
Chronoji. An Incarnation that wields time magic.
Despite the grand name of time magic, she specializes in CC as a Supporter—speeding up allies’ movement or slowing enemies’ movement, hitting time bombs that explode from time differences to stop multiple enemies, and so on.
Her Incarnation ability is nothing less than revival.
She places this Incarnation ability on an ally who looks like they’ll die soon, and if that ally dies within 7 seconds, they revive.
Of course, enemies aren’t fools either, so they simply stop attacking the target with this Incarnation ability on them, making revivals difficult to use.
Still, for a charge combo that openly goes in to die, it’s quite a useful Incarnation ability.
However, Chronoji’s problem is that her own body’s health is too weak. And she has almost no damage output.
In other words, she’s a Supporter whose role is purely supportive and nothing else.
You might say, isn’t that just what a Supporter is? But among Supporters, she’s particularly weak in offense and defense, often getting completely destroyed from the laning phase itself.
“Well then. Shall we stop the talk and actually watch?”
“Yes. I’m ready.”
“Almond will play Sori, and King Gul will play the Dragon Tamer, right?”
“Yes!”
-Trembling trembling trembling
-Hype
-This’ll be fun lol
-Hype hype hype hype
Soon the game began.
