The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 2 Episode 208
72. Suspicion (2)
-Anyone who’s actually used it knows this isn’t something that can be covered up by skill alone lol
└For real lol
└So you’re saying Pollis deliberately rigged it and deceived the users???
└2222 That makes no sense lol
└No no, it doesn’t have to be Pollis orchestrating it. Maybe the opposing players just went easy on him and intentionally lost without making it obvious?
└But there’s no way Sori’s arrows could all land in 1-2 seconds with just that
While Almond was preparing for his broadcast, the debate continued to rage on Rilpro.
Some viewers found the controversy itself puzzling.
[Is this your first time seeing Almond play??]
Well, it wasn’t the first time Almond had shown off this kind of performance.
-For real lol
-Yeah when he played Reina he did even more, not less… Why are people like this?
The performance he displayed when he caught Reina was actually far superior to what he showed with Sori now.
However, those fanning the flames of suspicion had their reasons too.
└Is a character with attack speed buffs the same as just shooting a bow raw??
Not just Reina, but all the other avatars he’d played so far were buffed characters.
In other words, they were characters with systemic attack speed and accuracy corrections applied.
Therefore, the performance he showed with other avatars couldn’t be compared equally to what he demonstrated with Sori.
These dogs are disgusting. If they’re shooting like that with sound, it’s basically saying they can shoot a bow with that accuracy in real life too, which is bullshit lol does that even make sense??? Then why are they a streamer?
So if he could handle Sori like that, wouldn’t he be able to pull off almost the same performance in real life? This argument was starting to gain traction.
└For real… If that’s the case, why not become an archer athlete instead of a streamer? lol
└Right… He’d sweep the Olympics if he just went. Why the clown act? I can’t understand it…
└And there’s no way this game streamer is our country’s youngest championship gold medalist…
lol cooking show chaos lol
However, Almond was already someone who shot a bow well in reality.
Research showing that virtual reality performance differs quite significantly from real-world performance had long been established as fact.
[The difference between VR performance and real performance came out ages ago, why are they bringing it up again]
In fact, the reason Almond’s virtual space performance was so good was more due to the ten years of mental imagery training he’d repeatedly done than his actual archery skill.
This was a fact already revealed by the engineers who had measured his VNS values.
However…
The community rarely needed actual evidence to fan the flames.
They simply lit fires wherever there was kindling.
[Check the timing of Nut Fans’ broadcast]
“Let’s turn on the Beominshaek broadcast and go~ lol”
[Broadcast Title lol]
Almond simply converted that fire into power generation.
[Almond has started streaming.]
[Rilpro) There are no bad avatars in this world]
-Hi there~
-Ahh~!
-Enjoyed yesterday’s stream haha
-The title lol
-What’s going on with the title again lol
.
.
.
Once the stream went live, the chat exploded with messages, and Almond’s face appeared on one side of the screen.
“Yo!”
-Hi there~
-Looking handsome as always~
-Saw the face, now I’m out
-Ril again today?
This was the first stream since I’d recorded the “Ril Incarnate” video.
It seemed like quite a few people had been waiting for it.
[Current Viewers: 9.7K]
Viewers were already approaching 10,000.
-What game are we playing?
-Are we doing Ril today??
-Oh, Ril for the title lol
“Ah. Yes. Today’s first part will be Ril.”
My current stream was divided into two parts.
The second part was always a closed scrim for the Civil Empire national team competition, so the first part was essentially everything.
-Ugh…
-When’s Kingdom?
-No Ashpumped?
People waiting for other games asked one by one.
Fair enough—I’d been playing Ril nonstop recently while supposedly clearing Swift Story Mode.
“I was originally planning to try Ashpumped. Today….”
Clap.
I suddenly started clapping as if I’d realized something.
“Ah. Let me try Tseugae first.”
-???
-Bad acting lol
-What’s he doing lol
I seemed to have some kind of buildup I’d been thinking about in my head.
“Alright. Let me check the post. Someone’s shared Rilpro’s post again today.”
I immediately clicked on a post from Tseugae and showed it.
-Why are you even looking at that?
-Lol, you really thought this through, didn’t you? So cute lol
-It shows, Nut Fans…
It wasn’t even a best post, nor was it one of those clickbait titles packed with aggression.
The fact that he deliberately clicked and showed it meant he was already planning to click and display this post.
The viewers could all see through it, but they either found it endearing or actually sympathized with it.
-Wow! What could the content be!? Teacher!?
-The physical act of clicking on an intriguing post! Amazing!
-Don’t argue against the will of the hound.
The post Almond opened was a summary of the current controversies surrounding Rilpro.
[Fabrication bait coming from Rilpro]
Bait originally refers to cheap feed given to fish.
In online communities, it also refers to topics that hook users like fish.
“There’s controversy that the broadcast of my avatar’s incarnation is fabricated.”
-Rilpro fabrication controversy is just industry standard lol
-Everything’s fabricated with these guys lol
Ugh, you idiots lol
It was a chat that revealed the general viewers’ perception of Rilpro.
From the start, there weren’t many people who completely believed these suspicions.
“I understand the suspicion. There’s even a saying that overwhelmingly superior skill cannot be distinguished from fabrication…… Ahem…”
-??
-Did you just make that up? lol
-Who writes this script lol This is hilarious
-Ah~ Overwhelming power cannot be distinguished from magic.
-Did Hodu say that quote by any chance?
Almond’s broadcast was watched by nearly 30,000 viewers, or rather, now even 40,000.
Not all of them could be favorable toward Almond.
-Stirring up aggression with no proof lol
-So it’s not fabricated? lol
-Honestly, a broadcast selling avatars, so there’s no way there’s no fabrication lol No conscience
These kinds of chats were popping up here and there.
In fact, it was the kind of chat Almond had been waiting for.
“What they’re claiming is that either Pollis did something to the super account they provided, or the opposing team, Popcorn’s team, intentionally threw the game. These are the two main allegations.”
-Yeah seems like it
-No need to respond to this just ignore it and play Kingdom
-You’re opening this up?
Of course, avoiding such controversy is the highest virtue for a streamer.
But for Almond, this wasn’t a controversy—just a content opportunity.
That’s why rather than avoiding it, he was actually charging straight at it.
“Those allegations will all be resolved once I play Sori today…”
That was it.
If Almond played Sori today and showed similar performance, it would all be over.
Today wasn’t using a super account, and the opposing team wasn’t hired either.
“I considered just doing solo queue, but I felt it would be insufficient. People might claim I hired the opposing team.”
-??
-How do you even hire a solo queue opposing team lol
-lmao
-Everything’s rigged lol
He was planning to dismantle this controversy through a different method, not just simple solo queue.
‘That wouldn’t be fun anyway.’
Above all, it was for the sake of good streaming content.
“I was also a victim of manipulation when King made it to first place in the popularity vote. So I understand how Rilpro fans feel. That’s why I believe a more perfect resolution is necessary.”
-???
-That was actually real though
-lmao
-No that wasn’t rigging lol
After spouting nonsense, Almond suddenly pointed at someone.
“Now then. Those of you who were chatting earlier.”
As he said that, Juhyeok rapidly clicked through the IDs of people who had said inappropriate things in the chat window.
Mostly viewers who had been claiming that Almond’s broadcast was manipulated.
Out of roughly one hundred and eighty people, exactly one person was filtered by Juhyeok.
==== ====
[Snow White and Seven Homies]
-So you’re saying it wasn’t rigged?
-You’re saying there’s no rigging in sponsored broadcasts?
-You beat Popcorn with a new character? lol
-Honestly I’d probably win too with a new character
==== ====
All the messages he had typed up until today were listed out.
“Oh…”
Almond didn’t actually care much about the chat content above.
‘I knew there’d be at least one like this.’
What he focused on was the last statement.
“Bingo!”
Almond underlined a particular comment.
Honestly I’d probably win too with a new character
This was exactly what he had been waiting for.
“Snow White. I’ll clear up the misunderstanding for you. Could you call out your ID?”
-??
-For real?
-Resolution… right?
-It’s not resolution, it’s erasure lol
-And I’m jealous
-This is industry recognition for real
That was exactly it.
I had transformed this controversy into viewer participation content.
-The Nut Fans room’s first viewer participation content is smashing haters’ heads lmaooo
-Content is so good~
-All Tube killed it with the timing lolol
This was the first time viewers had participated in Almond’s broadcast.
The news spread through the community in no time.
Beyond just being a first, it drew even more attention because it stemmed from the controversy they themselves had ignited.
This had become a form of community engagement.
[Almond breaking the seal right now (actually viewer heads) lololol]
[Breaking news) Almond challenges viewer to real fight]
[???: Hey! Follow me to mid!]
[So hilarious lolol]
[Who’s the brave soul getting called out?]
[If you don’t go, you’re a coward for life]
The community began flooding with posts like these, and interest reached a fever pitch.
Now, if Snow White simply stated the ID here, the match would be set immediately.
Everyone waited for his response….
-Same nick. Invite incoming
He accepted the challenge.
-Wow, what a man lol
-Oh yeah
-Crazy lol
-Is he actually good? lol
-Seems like he deliberately provoked Almond to play with him lol
“Then let’s wrap up today’s just chatting here and move straight into part one.”
Thus, Almond’s first viewer participation content came to fruition.

* * *
Rilpro is fundamentally a team game.
Since teamwork is valued as much as individual skill, one-on-one duels don’t carry much significance in this game.
Yet when it comes to pride matches between gamers, nothing beats a direct confrontation.
Originally, Rilpro didn’t provide a separate mode for enjoying one-on-one matches.
But user demand was so strong that one was eventually created.
[Narag Duel]
It was the same mode where I’d previously faced off against Strawberry Shooter over the ADC position.
“I’ll send an invitation.”
Almond entered the viewer’s nickname and sent the invitation request.
A moment later.
[Snow White and the Seven Hoes]
A player with the exact same nickname as in the chat entered the game.
Their face was set to private, but their tier was naturally visible.
[Diamond – Ⅰ]
They were Diamond Tier 1.
It was the highest tier among diamonds, and by general standards, I had to acknowledge they were an exceptionally skilled player, but…
-Diamond 1?? Are you serious?
-lmao
-Some teacher said diamonds get stomped the most lol
-Instant death lol
Almond looked at the tier and asked them.
“You’re Diamond 1. Are you sure about this?”
“My peak rating went all the way to Grandmaster. Don’t worry.”
-lmao high-ranked diamond
-facts fr
-Grandmaster???
-cap
-Head getting smashed in 1 second lmaooo
“And anyway, if you’re definitely picking Sori, I’ll just pick a counter.”
“Ah. Has a counter already been researched?”
“Yeah. Let’s go.”
Boom!
After both picks were finalized.
The game started.
[Cautious Hunter – Sori]
[Goddess of Stars – Jen]
