The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 3 Episode 301
97. A Welcome Face (5)
“…Coach?”
This collaboration had been made possible through close cooperation between Civil Empire Korea and the organizers.
[Former Youth Archery National Team Coach ‘Yangincheol’]
Only after his title appeared did people recognize who he was.
-He was an archery coach??
-Wow
-Crazy
-What Sang-hyun Yu’s coach???
The broadcast camera naturally captured Sanghyeon’s face from the waiting area.
His expression was more shocked than ever.
-He’s totally shocked lol
-No way lol
-So cute lol
-His mouth was that big?
The Coach’s voice echoed through the arena.
“That guy… his archery was exceptional from childhood.”
-That guy lol
-Starting off calling him a thug lol
-Haha
Then grand music flowed from the video.
“Yeah. I’ve been watching him since he was young.”
The Coach’s voice overlaid the footage.
“So I know. Actually, the truly terrifying thing about that guy isn’t archery.”
Boom.
Along with a deep drum sound, photographs of Sanghyeon from childhood to present flashed across the screen.
His photos always featured an archery target alongside him.
The bow he held eventually transformed into a bow within the game.
“What’s truly terrifying about that guy is….”
Yet anyone could see it at a glance.
His expression when holding the bow, his gaze—it remained unwavering.
“His hunger for victory.”
Boom boom boom boom…!
The drum sounds intensified, and the music swelled louder.
Almond’s match scenes flashed by with increasing speed.
Charging into enemy lines on horseback while drawing his bow, rising with sword in hand after falling and swinging it. Hanging beside his horse, breaking through Guan Yu’s cavalry.
Thud! Thud! Boom!
The music climbed higher.
A scene of him aiming at Japan’s Commander with trembling arms flowed across the screen.
Unlike before, it flows out slowly.
And─
“──Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”
Thud.
After a dramatic match victory.
A scene of him dropping to his knees and roaring.
-Kyah
-Keu
I yearn for it ㅠㅠㅠ
-Dude, insane
My heart is pounding ㅠㅠ
-Japan match keu
Crackle.
Sanghyeon’s fake national team first interview scene appeared.
“Our goal is… to win the championship.”
After that, the screen fades to black, and time passes briefly.
-Whoa
-Kyah
Isn’t this a fake national team episode 1? ㅠㅠ
-Wow
This is so creepy/scary.
Now we’re just one step away ㅠㅠ damn it
As relatively calm music played, the screen brightened again.
[Rome Supreme Commander, Anto]
Rome’s Commander Anto appeared.
“Cookie is clearly an exceptional commander.”
[Cookie is undoubtedly an outstanding commander.]
He stood atop a high mountain, gazing down below.
As if realizing his own position.
He smiled and concluded his words.
“If I hadn’t met him.”
[If only I hadn’t encountered him.]
-Keu
Haha… lol
-???: Cookie. You’ve got talent. Keep going
-Can’t refute facts
-Kyah
Wow, Anto is really something else.
After that, scenes of Anto’s victories in the preliminaries flowed.
The voices of commentators from various nations accompanied them.
“Ahhhhh! Anto!? You predicted this!? I was just admiring Cookie’s strategy of exploiting the opening! And you—!?”
“Oh my god! Anto is just schooling Cookie! He knew it from the beginning!”
The ancient fortress walls—the first match.
This map favored Rome over Joseon.
Cookie, already short on firepower, had prepared one last-ditch strategy.
If it landed, victory was assured. And the odds of it landing were high.
It was a strategy no one had anticipated.
But Anto was not that “no one.”
“Anto is practically playing games with them!? He already knew everything! He already had every counter prepared!”
“Playing mind games. Toying with them intellectually.”
“All roads lead to Rome!”
The calm commentary gradually began to build in intensity.
The screen shifted, and a new figure appeared.
[Joseon Supreme Commander, Cookie]
Cookie sat in an enormous chair, hands clasped together.
Long hair, a lean frame, an expression of serene composure—yet his bright eyes gleamed with something that transcended mere ambition or passion, evoking an almost sacred quality.
He gazed at the camera with piercing clarity and spoke.
“Anto. The team you faced in the preliminaries is dead.”
Boom.
With a powerful musical shift, Cookie rose from his seat.
“Round of 32.”
With those words, Bread appeared on the left.
“Round of 16.”
Coffee appeared on the right.
“Even in the quarterfinals.”
A woman appeared in the throne where Cookie had been sitting.
It was Daisunsin Choi.
She and Cookie turned to face the camera simultaneously and spoke.
“We have died and been reborn countless times.”
-Crazy
-Wow
Choi Soon-shin is amazing.
-Anto: Noona I’m dying!
-They didn’t die in the semifinals since there were three powerhouses lol
-Notice the detail of excluding the semifinals lol
-China: ???
-They didn’t die to China lol wtf
“This time, Joseon standing in the finals will be different.”
Boom. Boom!
The music reached its complete climax, building to its peak.
And then Anto appeared before them.
He looked far more massive than all four Joseon members combined.
Like an insurmountable wall.
“Non mi dispiace avere due comandanti.”
[I don’t mind having two commanders.]
From that towering height, he looked down with his arms crossed.
“In ogni caso il finale è lo stesso.”
[Regardless, the ending is the same.]
Rome’s Assistant Commander appeared on either side of him.
And behind them stood Rome’s Ace, Pierre.
“Per un dilettante, ha fatto bene. Saranno ricordati per sempre.”
[For an amateur team, Joseon performed remarkably well. They’ll probably be remembered forever.]
When Pierre spoke, the roar from the audience was tremendous.
Pierre, like Almond, was incredibly popular in Italy for his striking appearance and brilliant gameplay.
But his next words drew an even louder roar.
“Al secondo posto.”
[In second place.]
At Pierre’s smirking expression, the audience erupted with such thunderous cheers the stands seemed to shake.
“Waaaaaaaaa!!”
Hahahahaha
-Wow, every word they say is pure gold
hahahahahaha
Isn’t that what those writers are making them do? lol
Boom…!
With a flash of light, all two hundred Players lined up in perfect formation.
The music swelled, and each Player’s face flashed rapidly across the screen.
Boom…!
The music reached its climax.
A view of Osaka appeared.
[Joseon vs Rome]
[National Team Championship Finals]
[17:00]
Click.
The screen faded to black.
Then Sanghyeon’s Coach appeared again.
“Huh? Amateur? What are you talking about?”
He tilted his head as if confused by the remark.
“From what I know, that guy has always been a pro.”
Boom~!
The music concluded, the video ended, and the screen faded to black.
The screen returned to the original broadcast view.
==== ====
Joseon 0
Rome 0
==== ====
“Waaaaaaaa!”
and ㅠㅠㅠㅠ (crying sounds)
Archery has no amateurs, lol.
Coach, please… (or: Coach… T_T)
Lol, they’re really pushing almond as the main character now ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
I’m crying / Sob sob sob
-Wow, godly Almond…
-They threw it away~
This would be fun as hell.
The audience’s tremendous cheers engulfed the stadium.
At last, the commentators’ voices began to ring out.
“Ahhh! This heat! It’s scorching! This is the finals! Something we never saw in the Rild Cup!!”
Hahaha
Tsk… haha
-We got our revenge against China, so we’re good~
I’m crying / Wahhh / Boo hoo
Oh crap lol
“Yes! This is the finals! Ah, the opening tribute stage was wonderful too! The finals dedication video was even! More! Impressive! I think because Joseon is the underdog, they put more effort into making them the protagonist!?”
“That’s right! Ah, the organizers! They seem to be realizing Joseon’s popularity! Right now, not just us South Koreans! Japan! South America! America! Italy and several other European countries with bad relations! I heard many people are rooting for Joseon!?”
Italy and I aren’t on good terms lol
Damn, haha
China is 100% rooting for Rome lol
“That’s right! Especially in the West, they really love this kind of underdog surge!? Joseon’s civilization pick rate has skyrocketed too!”
“Ah, is that so!? It wasn’t originally such a popular civilization, was it!?”
“Right. Actually, during naval warfare, it was mostly Geobukseon fanboys picking it, and generally it was evaluated as a worse version of Mongolia! That was the dominant assessment! But watching Cookie, Choi Sun-sin, and our national team players’ performances this time! The pick rate has risen! And the win rate has stabilized!”
Those who had been using Joseon so far mainly focused on endurance plays into the 3rd and 4th eras, like Persia or China.
But for that, Joseon actually had no resource faction, so the endurance time became too long.
Going into the 3rd era shows considerable performance, but the path there was far too difficult.
However, as Joseon’s 2nd era rush build became completely solidified and famous this season, a miraculous phenomenon was occurring where both pick rate and win rate were rising.
lol
Isn’t that getting nerfed? lol
It seems like it is.
In the end, the developer was right lol. Joseon wasn’t weak… you guys just didn’t know how to use it.
“Haha, is it national pride…? lol”
“This is what national prestige is all about! Promoting Joseon! And the K-pop performance we just did! Yes!?”
“That’s right! The status and honor of the national team has become incredible!”
“Ah, yes? I saw Cookie on the 9 o’clock news too. I was genuinely shocked.”
“Yes! There’s a famous K-pop meme in the esports world! Now Cookie can finally say it!”
“What is it?”
“NewJeans, come out!”
Hahahahahaha
-Did Cookie finally cross that line?
Wow, that’s hilarious.
-So who’s the real Cookie now?
-Tough Cookie is me~ NewJeans, come out!
Hahahahaha
That legendary scene is insane.
Is NewJeans performing for the celebration?
“Since we’re talking about Cookie, there was a slight hint in the congratulatory video earlier. Do you think there’s a possibility Choi Sun-sin could be selected?”
“I can’t predict that at all. Honestly, whoever comes out will be amazing! Anto’s going to have a headache either way!?”
“Yes. Definitely, without even being asked, he was asking and answering questions about having two commanders on his own, you know? That shows he’s concerned!”
ㅋㅋㅋㅋ (lol/haha)
That’s too much lol
That’s edited, lol.
Hahahahaha
Caster lol
“As I was saying! The players are entering! Everyone! The proud! Republic of Korea’s! National team!”
Cheers erupted.
“Woooooooooooooo!!”
At the front of the Joseon team.
Cookie stood there.
Behind him came two assistant commanders, and Almond, who had solidified his position as the team’s ace.
Today, Almond’s expression was unusually different from his usual demeanor.
