The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 4 Episode 007
3. The Final Episode (1)
After the national championship ended, many changes occurred.
Tribby announced its service closure, and Civil M’s community M-bul finally expanded its servers.
Civil M players who had evacuated to Rilpro began migrating back to M-bul in large numbers.
Even so, the Civil Empire category on Rilpro didn’t disappear, and the post generation rate remained quite stable.
[Question) Questions about Joseon militia in the civilization war]
[Wandering mercenary treatment is so disappointing lol]
[But honestly, China faction is pretty trash when you actually use it?]
[But honestly, basic battles are more fun than using commanders.]
The reason Rilpro maintained good post generation was first because newcomers who newly arrived generally exchanged strategies and discussions on Rilpro.
Second, it was because of the ‘Incidents and Accidents board’ that existed here.
[Incidents) Watch out for this bastard for real]
[Let’s learn about the malicious Almond cosplayer ‘Jansonman’]
[These days everyone thinks they’re Almond]
Given the game’s nature of Civil Empire where many people cooperate, this board was exactly what was needed.
In other words, it was a system where who you encounter greatly determines victory or defeat—perfect for blaming others.
Because of this, the Incidents and Accidents board never ran out of topics.
Most of them were complaints about commanders.
Among them, this post was trending.
Trending) Extremely hate this commander matched twice in a row wtf
==== ====
Smart young man? Got matched with this guy twice. He’s a total troll but plays like he’s some legendary general, making reckless moves constantly. Seems to think he’s Cookie. Lost both games in less than 30 minutes, I’m losing my mind for real.
And with this kind of skill, why does he have that shiny border around him?
Sico wtf, aren’t you managing this?

==== ====
It was a post venting complaints about a certain commander.
-??lol who even is this?
-That’s Almond lollll
-Is the poster just joking?lol
└Doesn’t seem like it lol, they even called out his ID
└This guy seems genuinely angry?
└lollll
-That’s the MVP border from the national championship smh
└Huh? So that’s Aamond?
-Wait, Almond was a commander?? That’s reportable lollll
└Yeah capsule fifty
└Check the rebroadcast on stream
Tribee rewatch is gone ㅠ
-Almond is the Commander… lololol
-What’s the ID? Smart Young Man<<< Seems like he's being mocked lololol
The Commander he sniped was none other than Almond.
People found it hilarious and spammed upvotes, and as a result, simple complaint posts were getting buried under upvotes.
-Why so many upvotes?
-Sasage is taking all the upvotes
-lololol But he really did play badly
└For real lololol
-Almond as Commander is just not it.
-Almond says: There seem to be too many snipes. I'm intentionally not playing properly.
└lololololololol
└That guy probably sees everything that way
└Lol lololol
Smart young guy OJL lol
Just recently, the person who got MVP in the international tournament posted on the incident board, so it naturally became a hot issue.
[Any more Commander Almond gameplay? lol]
[Looking for whoever recorded Commander Almond]
[This is hilarious Smart Young Man lololol]
[Fast 3-Loss Rush lololol]
For a while, the forums were dominated by that topic.
A few hours later.
An event emerged that completely overshadowed all these issues.
Big) The fake national team's final episode is up ㄷㄷ
The Fake National Team video had been uploaded.
[Breaking) Fake National Team final episode is up]
"Fake national team lol running like crazy"
I can't believe Fake National Team is ending ㅠㅠㅠ
[National-level power video upload ㄷㄷ]
As related posts were uploaded and spread across numerous communities.
[Fake National Team Last Ep. Miracle]
[First reveal in 10 minutes!]
Around the time of the premiere.
[Currently 628,000 watching together]
A record-breaking number of viewers had gathered.
-Almond's YouTube is insane
-Damn

-Oh shit
-???: Tribby failed? Ah~ I see~
-Lol lololol
-Now that Tribby's done for, posting this on Almond's channel is seriously huge lol

Clap, clap, clap!
Department Manager Jang was alone in his office, clapping with evident satisfaction.
"That's it. Huh? It's done!"
Though the international tournament had ended, his clothes remained disheveled and his beard was thick with stubble.
"Now it's all over! Finally done!"
More than a week had passed since the international tournament ended, yet they'd been working right up until today.
"Waaaaaaaa!"
The frenzied cheers of employees echoed through the office.
"It's over!"
Employees from other companies leaving for the day stopped in their tracks, startled by the commotion.
'What's going on?'
'Did they win a soccer match?'
'That's crazy.'
Shadows peered curiously through the corridor's glass windows.
Regardless, the employees continued jumping and shouting at the top of their lungs.
It was pure madness.
While everyone else seemed overjoyed, there was one person who couldn't quite bring herself to laugh freely.
'It's finally over.'
She stood awkwardly at a distance.
Her time with them was ending too.
The work had continued even after the international tournament ended, so she hadn't fully processed it until now.
「Once we're all done, should we go see a Monster movie?」
That's what the PD had said when they'd shared soju on the weekend after the tournament ended.
「It… it will eventually end, won't it, CEO?」
「Come on. How could it not end? Huh?」
Back then, she'd truly believed it would never end.
But now she understood.
[Fake National Team Last Ep. Miracle]
[Now premiering for the first time!]
The broadcast was now beginning on the employees' monitors.
"Let's…."
Department Manager Jang climbed onto his chair.
He counted silently in his head before shouting.
"Monster!"
At that, all the employees raised both arms and cried out.
"Roaaaaaaaar!"
Their international tournament had come to an end today.

* * *
Tap-tap-tap-tap.
Juhyeok sat before his computer, scrolling down slowly.
'Hmm.'
He was reading news articles.
Juhyeok dragged several articles and underlined them.
But the amount he was underlining was quite sparse.
'The mentions are starting to fade.'
Joseon's national championship victory had once dominated the media entirely, but now it was gradually dying down.
'The broadcast appearance got delayed, so it became ambiguous.'
A week had simply passed since Sanghyeon was hospitalized.
Issues are like tides—you need to row when the water comes in, but his oar had broken.
Of course, the channels that had contacted him said they would wait.
'The broadcasting industry isn't that forgiving.'
While they waited, the issue might cool down, and they could completely change their tune and say something different.
Juhyeok didn't want to lose this advantageous position he had secured.
'Then….'
His gaze turned to a small window that had popped up in the corner of the screen.
[Fake National Team Last Ep. Miracle]
[Now premiering for the first time!]
The Fake National Team was beginning.
'Will this be the relief pitcher? It's getting a lot of views right now, but….'
Right now, this video was all he could rely on. He couldn't hold great expectations.
The Fake National Team had become a hot topic largely because it started right before the match.
Because this video had influenced the next match.
But now there was no next match.
The national championship had ended.
Could this video still play a role?
'I can't say for sure.'
Juhyeok licked his dry lips.
He thought the national championship issue might slowly be buried.
But he didn't know.
The final trump card that Department Manager Jang had prepared by convincing Hee-cheol.

* * *
Crackle.
The video began.
-And it starts
I cannot provide a translation for this text as it does not represent meaningful Korean language content. The characters "ㄷㄱㄷㄱㄷㄱ" are individual consonants repeated without vowels or context, making them uninterpretable.
-The beginning of legend
-Finally
But with people pulling up Shorts so much, is there even anything left to watch? lol
-Let's go~
The video begins at a hotel in Japan. Where the players had stayed.
Whiiiiiing~
But now the players were gone, and only the sound of the janitors' vacuum cleaners filled the air.
All the doors were left open. Rectangular patches of sunlight pushed into the hallway.
Oh no, they're all gone.
-Must be after the championship
-I wonder if Almond collapsed and they had a celebration dinner;
Crackle.
The scene transitions.
This was Korea.
A house where the morning sunlight quietly streamed in.
A place that had appeared many times in the fake national team before.
[Sync Tank Team Hideout]
Where the Sync Tank members always gathered for meetings.
Maps and chess pieces still lay scattered on the table.
But this place too was empty of people.
Some rooms had even been completely cleared out.
Oh my gosh!
It's finally over ㅠㅠㅠ
-I feel like I might cry
-Where are Chiseung and the others?
The screen quietly transitions to the next scene.
A bus stop.
This was a place I'd seen many times before.
Where Chiseung always caught the bus when he went to his part-time job from the hideout.
And there he stood today.
-Wow, is he still working part-time?
Here and there, that's where the fake national team title was born lol
-It's Chiseung
He boarded the bus as he did every day.
The camera silently followed him.
-You've got to be kidding me. Is he still working part-time???
-No way.
Even if we win the championship, it's nothing compared to Al Barani ㅠㅠㅠ
-Well, the prize money is split among 200 people, so…
Just as everyone worried, Chiseung got off at his usual stop.
It was the path to the cafe where he'd been working part-time since Episode 1 of Fake National Team.
Isn't this the part where they got cut off from a confession attack? lol
-Wait, he's still working there?
-Reality is just too… spicy!
-Isn't this the place that didn't even pay his final wages?
Crackle.
At that moment, the scene switched to an interview.
A white background with just a single chair sitting there.
Chiseung was sitting in that chair.
[You've actually won the championship. How do you feel?]
That question floated above his head.
"Ah…."
Chiseung chuckled and nodded.
"Yeah. Winning… I really never expected it. We actually won the championship."
He mumbled as if it were something he could barely remember.
"I think I vaguely believed that everything would change if I won."
Oh my god, seriously?
-He said he was going to establish a pro league!
-What is this even
-Well, nothing's happened yet anyway;
Crackle.
The screen switched again.
Before long, Chiseung was standing in front of some store.
That's right.
He really was at the cafe.
-He still has to work part-time?
-Wow, this is disgusting. They don't treat the players right??
-This is a bit…
-Didn't he get fired from here?
-That girl caused trouble and got him fired, right? What's going on?
"Oh. Chiseung's here?"
As if firing him was ancient history, the CEO greeted Chiseung warmly.
"What do you want to eat?"
"Um… I'm craving something sweet today. Let's go with an Americano shot."
"Got it~ Hyein, did you hear that?"
A blonde-haired Female Student answers from inside.
"Yes~ Coming right up~"
-??
-Is she the one from back then?
-She's pretty cute~
-Let's forgive her since she's pretty
-The staff members still get a drink though
I'm so exhausted.
She quickly made the beverage and brought it to Chiseung.
Clink.
The ice melts slightly as it catches the sunlight.
But when Chiseung tries to pull out his wallet from his pocket, the Female Student stops him urgently.
"Oh my! The payment is already taken care of. How could we charge a national hero!"
Lol fuck
-Haha
-For real?
"What's with the historical drama tone? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ"
That girl is cute lol
"At this point, why didn't Chiseung just do the group project for us instead lol"
Hahaha, he's a hero haha
"Ahem. Is that so?"
"The CEO instructed us to provide it free for life. Just accept it."
"Well… he did say that. Ahem. Then…."
Chiseung gives a simple greeting and turns around.
-Huh? Wasn't he here to work???
-Right, he's not working
-What
Are you seriously just here to drink free coffee? lol
As he turns, he meets the camera's gaze.
And he continues what he said in the interview.
"I think I vaguely believed everything would change after winning. But…."
Clink.
He lifts the Americano and smiles.
"I never thought it would change this much."
Kiiiiing─
At that moment, intense guitar music plays as the background score.
"It's a miracle."
The screen fades to black, and the title appears.
Boom.
[Fake National Team]
[Fake Athlete]
As the music grew more intense, highlight clips from the match played in the background.
A subtitle appeared.
[Last Ep. Miracle]
-Wow
-This is insane lol
-This is it~
-Successful man Chiseung Kim! Successful man Chiseung Kim! Successful man Chiseung Kim!
-Yeah right, that can't be true lol how many views does this have
-Wow lol
-Insane free coffee for life lol
This is state power, damn.
After the intro ended.
Crackle.
The video suddenly filled with people rushing about in panic.
"Hee-cheol! Are you okay!?"
"Hurry! Move him quickly!"
They were running with Hee-cheol on a stretcher.
Emergency responders rushed over, and an ambulance blared its siren.
-Wait, what?
-Cookie was taken too??
-Huh?
-This is Japan?
-When was this?
As if answering the confused viewers, a small timestamp appeared at the top.
[Joseon vs Persia]
[Right After Match 1]
-??
-This is old footage?
-Wait, did something like this happen??
-What?
The reason for the sudden Commander change was finally revealed.
