The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 3 Episode 106
37. The Unemployed Fleet (2)
There were several upsets in Group E, where Joseon competed.
But among them, the case that foreign and domestic gaming web magazines have recently treated as the biggest upset is undoubtedly “France’s complete defeat.”
Though calling it a complete defeat, it’s only the story so far.
The reason why articles with the shameful label of “complete defeat” are appearing now was simple.
[France’s National Tournament “Eliminated in Preliminaries” – The Upset of Group E]
[France’s “Collapse” with Reason – The Price of Stopping Its Wings]
[France’s National Tournament Trapped in Mannerism]
France was eliminated from the group stage after their match against Joseon.
The fact that an eliminated team had already emerged was certainly good news for the remaining teams.
At the same time, it was bad news.
Especially for Spain. You could feel it clearly by looking at the Knight comments occupied by angry Spanish people.
-Damn those French bastards. They were bragging about their invincible fleet and all. Can’t even win a single match???
-Now I know. Koreans don’t eat dogs. They eat France.
-France should just make bread from now on.
-They said give us bread or give us death. They really got death.
-You guys got kicked out of Euro.
Comments that conveyed the bitter anger toward France.
In fact, France’s national team deserved to be cursed by their own countrymen.
It might feel unfair that they had to be cursed like this by complete strangers from Spain too.
Their only fault was simply that they lost.
However, a few days later. The Spanish viewers’ anger had no choice but to turn toward somewhere else entirely.
Ding.
[Fake Opponent]
An interview video was uploaded to Almond’s channel.
-Not even fake, but fake opponent lol
-Everything’s fake except archery and interviews, this guy…
Did the editor recover?? Wow, they’re back!
-Finally just a regular video
-Oh straight up without premiere lol

* * *
Most people don’t even bother watching interviews when their own team wins. Few Spanish viewers would go out of their way to watch interviews from matches between teams completely unrelated to them.
Of course, some Spanish viewers deliberately waited knowing that ‘Aamond’ would be conducting the interview. Players, for instance.
But what about the general public?
Most people work nine to six and only watch highlight reels in their spare time.
Only those with some leisure time bother watching the actual broadcast.
They certainly didn’t have time to watch interviews from matches Spain wasn’t even playing in.
Just like before, the path through which these viewers ultimately ended up watching Almond’s interview was OlTube.
[Fake Opponent]
This video containing Almond’s interview from the France match supported multiple language subtitles—French from France, of course, but also Spanish, Russian, English, and more.
The subtitles were translated into quite a few languages.
In other words, it was a video deliberately created to be shown to enemies.
Especially since Almond’s channel currently had a high growth rate of foreign viewers, it was guaranteed to appear in algorithms related to Civil M.
And sure enough….
-Do you have no respect for your opponent?
-Lucky enough to win in the first set and acting like you’ve already beaten Rome
-Joseon could never be a match for Espana. Get a grip on reality.
And so on. Vicious hate comments began pouring in. Of course, they were in Spanish, not Korean.
However, there were also a considerable number of comments in Korean.
-Die die die die die die…
Comments spamming the word “die” repeatedly.
-Please just shut your mouth. Please just shut your mouth. Please just shut your mouth.
Simple curse comments like that.
They followed a pattern composed of very basic language.
This was actually Spanish people deliberately running translations to harass in Korean.
Of course, to the extent that enemies disliked it, our side enjoyed it even more.
-Spain’s so mad lol lol lol lol
-We just forgot, what’s the problem?
-They complain whether we mention it or not lol lol lol lol
└For real lol lol lol lol
└We even gave a shout-out to the Invincible Armada, but when we don’t mention it they complain again? What do you want;
For them, watching the opponent get upset was entertaining.
And the idea of playing the game with this kind of conflict already brewing was intriguing.
-It’s just like those professional wrestling matches I used to watch as a kid lol lol lol lol
Someone compared it to professional wrestling.
Professional wrestling was fake—all the matches were predetermined—yet people became passionate about the conflict and rivalry they created.
After all, when there’s a story between competitors, it naturally draws more public attention than just a simple fight.
Aamond had unintentionally created such a mechanism in the international competition.
Perhaps that’s why?
[332,000 Views]
It had only been uploaded a short time before breaking through 300,000 views in an instant.
At this rate, statistics suggested it would surpass 1.5 million views.
“…He’s not just good at shooting arrows.”
Jia murmured while staring at the trending graph.
Her complexion as she gazed at the monitor had improved considerably compared to before.
That’s why today’s video was able to go up as well.
“It’s noise marketing in itself.”
She knew well that Almond’s interview had no such intentionality behind it.
Anyone who knew Sang-hyun Yu would naturally think that way.
If he had tried to attack someone verbally, things wouldn’t have unfolded like this.
This time, he simply had only the Rome match on his mind, which is why he answered that way.
As for the Invincible Armada from before, he probably just thought it was a funny joke and used it.
But the response was this explosive.
What could you even call something like this?
Probably the only descriptor that fits is ‘born for it’.
Especially since this interview video had virtually no special editing whatsoever.
They simply cut and pasted the interview footage as-is.
“If there’s anything they did, it’s this.”
The news attached at the end of the video that Espana suffered a crushing defeat to Rome. That’s all.
Edited this way, it does look as though Espana lost because of Almond’s interview….
Only Espana knows the truth.
Of course, they’ll deny it to the bitter end.
-Espana didn’t lose because of the interview. Don’t be so arrogant
-Do you think the world revolves around you? Defective Nut Fans?
-I want to fry that guy.
.

Comments pouring in from overseas continued to multiply.
“Ugh.”
[Turn off translation]
Jia clicked the turn off translation button.
This way, for someone who doesn’t understand Spanish, they won’t know what’s being said anyway, so they just move on.
Even if there were malicious comments in Korean, what difference would it make?
The video’s view count was soaring, and aside from Spain, everyone’s reaction was positive.
Just watching it was satisfying and heartwarming.
“But….”
After observing the video’s situation for a moment, she belatedly realizes something.
“There’s nothing to do.”
Because of losing to Rome, the only interview was this video, and the broadcast Almond had briefly conducted in the meantime didn’t have much worth uploading to OlTube.
“So this is what happens when there’s no interview.”
Even if I win, there might be cases where I can’t do an interview. Once I advance to the finals, I’ll truly have nothing to do.
I’d become unemployed overnight.
Jia quietly examines Almond’s channel.
The three videos with the best current trends are displayed in ‘Popular Uploads’.
[Fake National Team ep.1 – Heart of a True Champion]
[Fake National Team ep.2 – Release]
[Shorts) Fake National Team Cookie Video]
Fake National Team.
It’s content I didn’t participate in.
It was a video made by a different production team.
The top three recent videos on the channel I personally manage and have grown are all made by someone else.
It’s a strange feeling.
She didn’t want to admit it at first either. She wasn’t pleased with it. But—
“It’s definitely different.”
Once you watched Fake National Team, you couldn’t help but acknowledge it.
The production team were professionals among professionals.
What they created was different. So this is what a project produced on a company scale, on an organizational scale, looks like.
I feel it anew.
It had been so long since I quit that I had little memory of it, so I’d forgotten.
‘The productions from that company were actually quite high quality too….’
Memories of her former company come back to Jia.
‘No, that’s not it.’
Whoosh, whoosh.
She shakes her head as if brushing it away.
But once a memory surfaces, it seeps in like water breaking through a dam.
「Manager, are you passing on this? Why on earth? I’m so curious.」
「Jia. Um… no. Never mind. I’ll just do it myself. It’s exhausting having to explain everything.」
「They didn’t teach you this at that school?」
“…ugh.”
Jia frowns.
Clashing with people, working with people and clashing.
She’s not confident about it.
It’s better to work alone.
Even if I work alone, I have Juhyeok and Almond.
“Sigh.”
She lets out a low sigh and slumps forward onto her desk.
Ding.
A notification rang on Almond’s channel.
[Fake National Team ep.3 – Unemployed Fleet]
[Premiere in 1 hour!]
Since today was the match against Spain, the Fake National Team video had been uploaded.
-trembling trembling trembling
-Here it comes
-Please feature Danggeun noona
-3 hours before the match. The best choice.
-hehehehe
Wow, they’re revealing it to the public ㅠㅠ
.
.

* * *
As always, the video begins with the familiar static screen.
Crackle.
“No, CEO.”
Chiseung, standing before the camera, questions in bewilderment.
The person he’s speaking to isn’t visible.
He’s on a phone call.
“What do you mean? Suddenly quit?”
The phone conversation couldn’t be heard, but there was no need for it.
“I, I confessed and ‘───’ told you?! No, what is this…”
The absurdity of it all forced Chiseung to repeat what he’d just heard from his own mouth.
Side effects of confession attacks are crazy
That’s hilarious lolololol
hahahaha
-Wow that guy’s really tough too
“No, no. I really did. I mean, I did do it, but… yes… you said employees can’t date. Right? Yes… you told me not to flirt either…”
Just from Chiseung’s words alone, you could sense how the CEO communicated.
The CEO’s way of speaking keeps ringing in my head lol
Don’t just talk about it, it seems like it’s actually happening.
-There’s no hope for this;;-
Still, Chiseung tried to explain.
“Yes. But that’s not it? No. I did confess. But…”
Eventually he pounds his chest in frustration.
I did confess, that’s true lolololol
How am I supposed to explain this lol
Hahaha, that’s so funny!
-Just get a different job ugh
“No, honestly I work better, don’t I? I’ve been here longer!”
Chiseung apparently found it difficult to explain what a confession attack was, so he was now desperately appealing that he did his job better.
However, this tactic didn’t work either.
“Yes… there are customers who come because of him.”
She, who had received Chiseung’s confession, was also an important asset to this store.
“Then… is there no one who comes because of me? Ah… yes. No. I wasn’t joking. Yes. I’m listening seriously.”
-???
-What’s he doing lol
-In the middle of this lolololol
Chi-seung, ㅠㅠㅠ ㅋㅋㅋ
-Guess there isn’t lololol
After trying various things, nothing worked.
“Sigh. Fine. I won’t do it then. Just give me the remaining balance… CEO? Hello?”
The call cut off in the middle.
“Well, the balance…”
Chiseung’s face flushed red, and veins bulged at his temples.
He had endured as much as he could. He couldn’t take it anymore.
He opened his mouth wide and let out a roar of fury.
“Aaaaaaaaaaaa! This! ─! ──! Aaaaaa!”
Boom!
With the shout, the screen fades to black and the title appears.
[Fake National Team]
[Fake Athlete]
-lololololol
-Hahaha I’m dying lol
-The funniest intro I’ve ever seen lololol
-So satisfying lololol
-So hilarious lololololol
-How many bleeps did they use lol
-Is this why he’s unemployed lol
Man, this is so salty/pathetic, it reeks of sadness haha
