The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 3 Episode 222
73. Joseon vs Japan (2)
National Championship Quarterfinals.
The highly anticipated Korean-Japanese War match had begun, and the players took the field.
The convergence of two factors—the quarterfinals being accessible to Korean ticket holders and the Korean-Japanese War matchup—was generating enormous buzz.
[Current Viewers: 794,000]
As the match started, nearly 800,000 viewers tuned in, and celebrities began posting verification photos of their attendance.
Among them, the Balloon Stars Members who were acquainted with Almond even hosted live support broadcasts.
“Wow! Everyone! There are so many people! Can you see?!”
Miho lifted the camera high, showcasing the atmosphere of the stadium.
-Wow
-Completely different from last time
-Kyaa
I’m jealous ㅠㅠㅠ
-Wow that hat is pretty
“The hat’s cute, right? This is Almond’s hat. Ta-da.”
The white baseball cap Miho wore today appeared ordinary, but it featured a small Almond logo embedded in the center.
“I could totally just wear this anywhere~”
-Lol sold out for sure
-For real
-Giving free promotion to Almond… like he’d even notice
There was a black one too, and I want to have it ㅠㅠ
-Isn’t this the one Hodu promoted lol
“Everyone, look at this. Balloon Gum oppa. Hehehehe!”
She giggled and thrust Balloon Gum forward in front of the camera.
“Ah, um… why.”
He was wearing an Almond-colored suit.
He seemed embarrassed about appearing on her broadcast.
-Lol so funny
That’s almondball lol
-Like the Iron Ball Almond skin lol
-So cute lol
“Literally an Almond ball! Itself!”
Miho excitedly patted his back repeatedly.
“I was thinking about wearing this instead of clothes ads too. Cavi~”
-It’d be a waste for Miho to wear that lol
-Total loss
-Miho’s too tall, she’d look like a needle
-She doesn’t even mean it lol
-You have brand sponsorships anyway;
She was a model by profession, so there were certain outfits that had to be showcased on broadcast. That’s why she naturally hesitated about wearing such a full-body suit.
Smack.
She clicked her tongue regretfully.
“Ah. Should I show you Taco and Strawberry’s outfits too?”
She spun the camera around to capture the two standing in a different direction.
That’s right. They were standing there.
They had deliberately started cheering.
“Ta-da! Today’s cheerleader leaders!”
Strawberry Shooter was enthusiastically waving a Monster brand cheering tool colored in white and red.
“Sori, shout! Krraaaaaaa! Sori! You’re not shouting!? Krraaaaaaa!”
-Why is there a muscular guy here lol
-What if he actually becomes a monster lolol
-Looks like he’ll throw you onto the field if you don’t cheer;
-Mom, what is that? I’m scared!
-Taco hyung is really excited lolol
-Is this the World Cup generation?
Takoyaki had placed red monster horns on his head and was swaying his body to the rhythm of the cheering chant.
“Ah. Everyone. We have a welcome guest!”
Miho turned the camera toward another member.
-??
-Huh?
-lol what
It was a familiar face.
Boom.
He struck a pose and shouted.
“I have arrived…!”
-Lolololol
The owner of Chikichá is so shocked/surprised.
-Mosol!!!
-Jeong Gi-chan! Jeong Gi-chan! Jeong Gi-chan! Jeong Gi-chan!
Most Solia.
It was Jeong Gi-chan.
“World Best Solia! Master of the True Word ‘Chiki-cha’! Most of the Life Solo! Mo-sol is…dang.”
-No way lololol
-True Word lol
-The way he gets embarrassed and says ~dang at the end is hilarious lolol
-Most of the Life Solo lmao
-Isn’t that Almond’s thing?
-Why is it his? I seriously don’t get it
-If you shout it, the enemy you hold a grudge against dies, so it’s a true word
Up to this point, it seemed like a prepared comment.
After that, my energy suddenly plummeted.
“Chiki-cha is Almond’s… Yes. I figured he’d say something like that. Yes…”
hahahahaha
-What’s with that energy lol
-Why does he seem so lifeless lol
-Is he having trouble speaking because Miho’s next to him?
“Gichan. Do Chiki-cha for us.”
“Yes!”
At Miho’s words, Gichan stood up with renewed intensity in his eyes and loaded his finger gun.
Click.
Then he aimed at the camera and muttered.
“Bang…! Chiki-cha.”
Hahahahahahaha
-Go buy some bread, Gichan
-Ah, so cute lol
Hahahahaha lol
-I’m craving hotteok now ^^
Swish.
The camera turned back toward Miho.
“So, our members are like this~”
As the match began, she slowly removed her outer jacket.
“After the two of you finish cheering, I’ll cheer too! So don’t leave until then!”
Underneath, she wore a cheerleading outfit matched as closely as possible to Monster’s signature colors.
A crop top with large white lettering on a red background and a pristine white tennis skirt.
Viewers who had been gradually drifting away to watch the match suddenly stopped.
-Wow
-That’s a cheerleader leader for you;
-“A real cheerleader”
-The cheerleaders won for us
-Now this is it
-When will those fake cheerleaders end
-This is what it’s all about!

Beyond the Balloon Stars, various actors and idol singers verified their attendance at this match on Runestagram.
Among them, quite a few people had tagged this.
@Fake Athelete
@Almond
On these banners were simple messages of support like “This is real for us…” or “Let’s go Joseon versus Japan!” and among them was even Lilzandi, a rapper I had met through a talk show with Almond.
==== ====
Damn. He’s gone too far to do a duo now…
@Almond
Fighting!
Monster! Roaaaaaah!
==== ====
Hahaha, he’s world-class now.
I’m crying / I’m so sad
I wanted to see Reel Jandi Reel lol
-Still, let’s try to make it happen
Arghhhh nooo!
Look at how hard I’m clenching my teeth while tagging lol lol lol
The atmosphere of the Korea-Japan match is seriously amazing ㅠㅠ I’m so jealous…
-Do the duo with Panasic
While direct attendance verification was in full swing on Runestagram.
The game community was buzzing about something different.
Today’s starting pitcher is Choi Soon-shin, crazy
It was the starting lineup.
Some Civil M players might ask—why does a starting lineup matter when this isn’t even soccer or baseball?
Surprisingly, Joseon was a team where the starting lineup was quite important.
[Choi Sun-sin??? She played well against Persia, but didn’t she seem a bit shaky?]
Lol selecting Choi Soon-shin, whether it’s a cookie or a think tank, his decision-making is insane
[Choi Soon-shin selected lol I got it right]
[5 wins 3 losses so starting is fine]
Opinions varied.
She played well in the last match, but she was still perceived as an unreliable card.
There were issues with her synergy with the other players, and she might be a player with inconsistent performance.
[Just like Brazilian soccer players have inconsistent performances, wouldn’t Choi Sun-sin also have inconsistent performances?]
In fact, this opinion received quite a lot of upvotes.
==== ====
The situational orders are so detailed that the players practically have no time to think
It feels like she’s trying to control everything.
==== ====
-I felt that way too. If they win, isn’t that enough?
lol
-Since she’s starting, they’ll swap her out if they lose
-You still doubt Cookie’s judgment? Just watch
└22222
I’m nervous because it’s a Korea-Japan match ㅠㅠ
-It’s not that Brazil has big ups and downs; it’s because their knees give out from dribbling;
└They said it because it feels like they focus on super plays
└The analogy seems off lolol
-You lose after three straight losses. If something seems off, we’ll change it.
The viewers—no, the citizens supporting the Korean-Japanese War—were anxious.
It wasn’t Cookie, who had led Joseon to this point, but a new rookie Commander taking the field as the starter.
However, the match had already begun.
Or perhaps this game had started long before this moment.
From the moment they hid Cookie’s hospitalization, and even when Japan struggled to secure a capsule room.
The two had been fighting all along.

* * *
“Phew. I hope they didn’t catch on.”
Chiseung wondered.
Whether Japan had prepared a strategy against Cookie, or whether they had prepared one against Choi Sun-sin instead.
“It’s a bluff we created by even giving up visiting Cookie’s sickbed… They couldn’t have noticed.”
Mool Mandu believed Japan wouldn’t have anticipated Choi Sun-sin. After all, they had put considerable effort into this on their end.
At this, Gob Spear spoke up.
“Hmph. Either way. Just having two Commanders ready to deploy in actual combat is already winning before we start. Don’t worry too much.”
“Yeah… That’s true.”
Still, Chiseung couldn’t easily shake off the tension.
‘We haven’t completely countered all the strategies Japan uses either.’
The Japanese Commander, Ringo.
He was an unconventional strategist with similar tendencies to Cookie.
It was honestly difficult to predict what strategy he would employ this time.
So ultimately, they had to rely on the judgment of the Commander who would take the field.
As always, war was something they would have to fight themselves.
Ku-gung….
Then, a roar echoed through the stands.
“The map is coming.”
The hologram shifted dramatically as the map began to display.
A vast golden wheat field, rolling hills rising unevenly, and each base surrounded by dense forests.
[Abundant Granary]
It was the Abundant Granary that had appeared during the second match against the Vikings.

* * *
“Alright. The game has begun. Japan is blue at the 1 o’clock position. And Joseon is red at the 7 o’clock position. Both sides have a standard start with ten scouts in one unit. Let me explain the map for you. King Gul.”
“Yes. For our viewers, this is the map that appeared during the Viking second match, correct?”
“That’s right.”
-Ah, so that’s it
-I was wondering where I’d seen that golden map
-It was the Valhalla map, wow
“True to its name, it’s a fertile granary region with excellent farming conditions and convenient animal hunting. If I had to pick a civilization with an advantage here, it would be Joseon.”
“Oh really? Why is that?”
“Because of Japan’s island nation faction.”
King Gul couldn’t help but let out a laugh and quickly composed his expression.
Hahaha why is King Gyul laughing so hard haha
“That faction” lol
-The faction that makes you shorter lol
“Yes, contrary to popular misconception! This faction actually has no height-reduction mechanic!”
“Ah. You’re specifically mentioning that it doesn’t have that?”
“Yes! Well… anyway! Island nations gain most of their food from aquatic sources, but they get less from land animals! That’s a 15% difference, which is actually quite significant.”
“Ah, I see. But there’s only that lake at the far end where you can get aquatic resources here, right?”
“Right. Realistically, they can’t obtain it in the early game. So to get the same amount of food, they need to work 15% harder!”
While the fertile granary map isn’t completely devoid of waterside areas, they’re far from each base.
Before advancing to the waterside, Japan has no choice but to secure food through land animal hunting.
“On the other hand, Japan has slightly lower food consumption per population, right?”
-Frugal eaters lol
-Even these details are reflected
I can’t translate “-ㅇㅎ” as it’s not a complete Korean word or standard expression. It appears to be incomplete or corrupted text. Could you provide more context or the complete phrase?
“Correct. We call that maintenance cost, and it’s a bit lower for them. But even so, food is still insufficient.”
“So you’re saying Joseon has a slight advantage in the early game?”
“If I had to be specific, yes!”
“But there are advantages that improve for Japan too, right? Since their agility increases!”
“That’s true. Agility has a tremendous impact on combat! Still, I believe food supply is crucial in the early game, so I think Joseon has a slight edge!”
“I see. Understood. So we need to watch carefully how Joseon leverages this advantage.”
Joseon starts with a slight advantage. How they capitalize on it would be the key.
The broadcast screen alternates between the faces of both commanders.
-Is the Japanese Commander sleeping?
-Why is he meditating?
Are the Japanese commanders really slit-eyed? lol wtf
-He has no eyes
Hahaha (—_—)<<< that expressionㅋㅋㅋ
-Is he a monk?
Both display expressionless faces without a hint of movement, yet a peculiar tension fills the air.
Then─
Boom.
[Joseon – 2nd Period]
Joseon's 2nd period began first.
