Intro
A veteran of the 4chan Cup, /vg/'s history is a bumpy ride of ups and downs. The team contains the greatest in >talent from many of the board's generals, and the hope is that at some point they'll stop shitposting and bickering enough to maybe be successful. Rarely does that happen, however exciting the on-field product may end up being.

/vg/ League
Since the 2013 4chan Autumn Babby Cup, the /vg/ League has been the way /vg/ has determined its roster for cups. Initially, only medal players were decided with this method, with other players being chosen by way of contacting the board's fastest generals. However, the /vg/ League now determines the entire /vg/ roster, with a meta player being a permanent silver (currently Git Gud), while the gold, other silver, and both bronzes are determined by the top four teams in the League. So far, eleven incarnations of the /vg/ League have been completed.

The Rivalry
 /v/ - Vidya Derby |
Since /vg/ is /v/'s little brother, some sibling rivalry is bound to ensue. Everything BUT Videogames vs. Everything BUT Videogames (in general form!), who will come out on top?
To date the all time record has /v/ winning 2 out of 3 matches, with both of their wins coming in friendlies. However, /vg/'s lone win in the series came during an elite cup and served to relegate /v/, so the rivalry is sure to be heated from now on. An unofficial friendly match was played between the two before the 2015 4chan Winter Cup, with /v/ winning 1–0, and both teams have met three times in each of the two Vidya Bowls. The third official Vidya Bowl came in the 2017 4chan Summer Cup group stage, three years to the last. /v/ got another early lead, but unfortunately /vg/ could not turn same magic they did long ago and only got an equalizer, which ended up being the difference between relegation and advancement. Of course, both teams went and completely shat the bed following their relegation. One of them is now C H A M P, and it isn't the big brother. Regardless, any future meetings WILL be >fun. |

Team History
The /vg/ League X occurred, marking the not-quite-5th year of the /vg/ League. Both silvers ended up among the 11 players from Spring forcibly booted off the roster, while /vrg/ won their first ever /vg/ League and got the gold medal spot on Summer /vg/. /fgg/ obtained second place and got a silver spot along with demoted meta player Git Gud, while /drg/ and /mbg/ (3rd and 4th respectively) got bronze spots.
Thanks to /vg/'s incredible showing in Spring, they had something very unfamiliar going into Summer: actual expectations. Little did anyone know of the ride they were about to be taken on. The group stage draw pitted /vg/ against old foes in /k/, who started their redemption arc with a win over /vg/ just three short cups ago, and /toy/, who started their cup winning run by coming back from 2 down against /vg/. It also got /vg/ a first time match against recently-revived /gif/, who along with /vg/ were one of the first teams to promote from Spring. The opener was against /k/, and despite /vg/ fielding highly unorthodox tactics it was a slurpfest for 70 minutes. Then something happened. Playing her first match ever, new gold Unity-chan got sent off. /vg/ had to hold on with 10 men for 20 more minutes; it seemed like they would until one of /k/'s own scored a Cheeki Breeki winner at the death. Safe to say, almost any expectations for /vg/ immediately dampened to nothing. As a result of lacking a gold medal who was not >Git Gud to lead the attack, /vg/ parked the bus and then some against /gif/. It worked pretty well, even to the point of scoring the opening goal as the Best Melty Player In Italy slammed down a header. Outside of that moment, /gif/ took shot after shot at the /vg/ net but only one went in as Jannu went incredibly fast, near singlehandedly getting /vg/ a crucial point. /vg/ were still far from the knockouts, though: they needed to beat /toy/ and, provided the win was by just one, pray for one of /gif/ or /k/ to carry them through. Finally at full power, /vg/ responded to their situation by scoring two goals within 30 minutes (courtesy of I Love Junko! and Git Gud). Unfortunately, Madoka Titus scored a goal immediately after Git Gud's and the match was effectively killed off afterwards. /vg/ won, but they still needed help. The match immediately afterwards, /gif/-/k/, was something out of PES16; both teams' defenses failed to show up while their offenses traded blows for two thirds of the match. Obviously, this was not good for /vg/. In fact, they were all of five minutes away from being relegated on goals scored. But then, /k/ gave the mother of all gifts in return for the multiple /vg/ gave them. Moist Nugget and Zergface scored two goals in the closing minutes of the match, giving /k/ the margin needed to ensure they took /vg/ with them into the knockouts. (The final goal ended up being a /gif/ consolation but it didn't fucking matter.)
Despite >PES doing its best to end /vg/'s run in three matches, they were in the knockouts. Sure, they were statistically the worst team to advance, but what did that matter? Drawn against /n/ (who officially put /vg/ out of their misery back in Spring 2015) for the Round of 16, /vg/ started their greatest mission yet. Like the group stage, the Round of 16 match was very defensive as both teams cancelled each other out for well over two thirds of match time. However, one team could shoot on target, and it wasn't /n/. Making up for her earlier red card, Unity-chan scored the ultimately winning goal for /vg/, sending them to their first quarterfinal since Winter 2017. The quarterfinals match against /jp/ saw Unity-chan continue in top form by opening up the scoring in all of 9 minutes, before /jp/ put up 2 to take the lead at the 23rd minute. Said lead didn't last long thanks to the Best Melty Player In Italy scoring an equalizer to make it a 2-2 match exactly 30 minutes in, and from there /jp/ had almost no answer to /vg/'s counterattacks as Unity-chan secured a hat trick before the first half ended and got her fourth twelve minutes after the break. /jp/ attempted to claw back from this 5-2 deficit with Japanese Bird cooking up a kickoff abuse goal, but it didn't work. Git Gud added insult to injury just before stoppage time began as /vg/ won by an incredible score of 6-3. The semifinal matchup against /int/ was relatively quiet, but Unity-chan still scored twice while /vg/'s defense completely shut /int/ down. With the 2-0 victory, /vg/ found themselves in their first ever final, one match away from glory. Their opponent was quite familiar; /sp/, the very same team that depended on /vg/ letting their guard down to get to Summer in the first place. Now, /sp/ were searching for their third* second star as an entire board prepared to celebrate in the way only /sp/arta can. One problem: /vg/ were playing /sp/ in a real match, and the latter were caught totally off guard. Before 30 minutes had passed, the final was all but over. Unity-chan opened up scoring in 3 (three) minutes, Git Gud got gud ten minutes later as a result of Tony Kornheiser giving up, and the Best Melty Player In Italy put a third in at the 25th minute. The /sp/artans made many attempts to summon the meme magic of Istanbul, but all they got was a 63rd minute wave of TSUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU. /vg/ won the final 3-1, capping off a run that just two weeks prior seemed absolutely impossible.
Unity-chan's ridiculous knockout stage form saw her tied with /tg/'s legendary Doomrider for the Golden Boot, having scored 8 goals. Despite failing to even get 20 total saves courtesy of her lone bad performance against /jp/, Jannu got much-deserved recognition for saving /vg/ often throughout the cup and ended up 4th in the overall Golden Glove ranking at 18 saves. Animation Not Final, despite barely playing, received recognition for his incredibly meme proof of concept model as it was voted the best model of the tournament. Most importantly, /vg/ became the first vidya board to ever win any cup while big brother /v/ could only watch from the stands.
The /vg/ League 11 occurred, marking the actual 5th year of the /vg/ League. As usual, there was massive roster churn, including two medals being booted off the roster. In their place, some new faces got their first ever spot on the /vg/ roster, with one of them taking a bronze spot getting the starting goalkeeper spot. Champions /dbg/ took the new (second) gold spot, /fgog/ received the second silver spot, and /civ4xg/ got the second bronze silver spot.
Oh, and /vg/ management got another former /vp/ manager to replace the guy who became the goddamn Commissioner.
By Winter, high expectations had become familiar for /vg/. An incredible two-cup stretch left all but one question answered: How can they follow it up? Throwing a wrench into things was the fact that for the Winter Cup, the notoriously goal-happy PES 2016 was used. Hosting the Winter Cup, /vg/ were drawn with at-the-time Nuevo Elites /bant/, fellow /v/ spinoff and 2018 4chan Autumn Babby Cup Third Place Trophy winner /vp/, and longtime joke of the Cup /biz/. The opening match of the cup was against /vp/; despite PES 16's penchant for extreme goalscoring and /vg/ playing in the wrong stadium, the match was rather tame thanks to /vp/ running an extremely defensive formation for the first half. Despite /vp/'s tactics, new gold Gogeta and silver Stalin each scored once in the first half to give /vg/ a 2–0 lead, one they would coast on for the second half in a 2–1 victory. With the proper stadium actually there this time, the newfags of /bant/ were next up, fielding incredibly unorthodox tactics. In fact, /bant/ scored first within 24 minutes of the match. This was all they would get, as Gogeta quickly proved his worth with a hat trick and even Git Gud got gud long enough to score a brace. The final result was 5–1 in favor of /vg/; thanks to a massive comeback by /vp/ in the following match, /vg/ were not only the first team through to the knockouts, but were also well positioned to carry another vidya board into the knockouts with them. /vp/ easily defeated /bant/ on the group's final matchday to hand them the Wooden Spoon, but their result left /vg/ needing to win by two. /vg/ didn't even win, losing 0–3 to /biz/ and losing top of the group along with it.
As a result of not topping the group, the knockout draw gave /vg/ quite the challenge. Up first was /his/, a 9-Point Master Race team with what was up to that point the best defensive record in the entire cup, and it didn't seem to get much better from there with potential matchups against teams like /mlp/, /u/, and maybe even /gd/ awaiting should /vg/ make it past the Round of 16. Fortunately, at least for the Round of 16, history was on /vg/'s side. The team had lost a grand total of zero Round of 16 matches, and this one was no different. Stalin treated /his/' defense like he had the Ukrainians, destroying them while the /vg/ defense kept /his/' attack almost completely away from the net. Although /his/ did score a late consolation, it wasn't enough and /vg/ won 2–1. This set up a terrifying quarterfinal matchup against the one and only /mlp/. What followed was one of the most utterly batshit insane matches in the history of the entire Cup. It took all of eight minutes for someone to score first, and that someone was Gogeta, a man who by now had earned the nickname of "smug blue cunt". By the end of the first half, /vg/ were up 3–2 thanks to two goals by their smug blue cunt and ridiculous spaghetti on behalf of Derpy Hooves canceling out a Doctor Jewgle own goal just five minutes prior. /mlp/, being their usual selves, took total control of the second half and made the match 3–4 to them with just seven minutes to go. In the worst situation they had been in all cup, the smug blue cunt did his best impersonation of the other side's gold striker and scored a 90th minute goal to take an already crazy match 30 minutes further. Git Gud took over from there, now having got gud enough to score two more goals, but /mlp/ responded quickly each time. Benuldies, something /mlp/ are very good at ensued. All four of /vg/'s medals sunk their shots, with only Princess Twilight missing for /mlp/. Connection Lost sunk a fifth benuldy for /vg/, putting an end to some of the most insane virtual divegrass ever seen and improbably sending /vg/ through to the semifinals. Once all was said and done, however, /vg/ were spent. Up next were /gd/, a team that had finally broken a long-standing quarterfinal curse, and they were out for blood. After one half of play, /vg/ were down 1–3. /vg/ immediately came storming back to pull the match even, but /gd/ scored three more in the final ten minutes of the match. /vg/ lost 3–6, guaranteeing that they would not get a second star out of this cup. /s4s/ awaited in the third place match, and they came out of the gate immediately by scoring two before 20 minutes passed. Gogeta got one back for /vg/ nearly immediately before he and APEX (who had also scored to get /vg/ back into their semifinal match) made it 3–2 to /vg/ at 80 minutes. Unfortunately, /s4s/ equalized at the 83rd minute before an incredible blooter from their Nice Grill won them the Third Place Trophy.
Although the ending was nowhere near as satisfying as the prior Elite Cup, /vg/ walked away from Winter having made their third straight trip to the semifinals, a streak only matched* by the /sp/ of days long gone. Despite conceding a ridiculous SIXTEEN goals on the final day, Sleepo Beepo took a portion of the Golden Glove with 16 saves.
