With a third place finish in Spring, things looked promising for /sci/ heading into summer. But a couple of issues were soon to appear with the team. First it was that third place winning manager Dicks stated that he wasn't going to be available for summer, therefore /sci/ was into a managerial uncertainty heading into summer. Second was that the usual people in charge of /sci/'s wiki page were clashing heads over roster changes on one side was {{Anonymous|Luca}} and on the other side was {{Anonymous|Triviaguy88}}, the controversy came after Luca allegedly made some roster changes without consulting the board and ignoring the fact that there was a [http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/QH5KDWK poll] to make the roster changes, that and the fact that both were clashing heads on whether how the player Theory (A Guess) should be named, on one side there was a campaign to name him Theory (A geuss) and on the other Theory (a gauss). | |||
With these elements in mind /sci/ was drawn in a group with defending elite cup champions /k/, /int/ and /mu/. The first game was a complete disaster featuring a very poor set of conditions that /int/ managed to take advantage of with a hattrick by Putin and goals by Maradona and {{greentext|argentina >white}}. Next up came defending champions /k/, who came after a very close draw against /mu/, their offense was swift and effective as 3 goals were scored in the first 18 minutes. /sci/ managed to pull a late rally bringing the deficit to 3-2 but a 90+1' goal by Deagle Brand Deagle put any efforts of a comeback void, even with a last attempt by Bill Nye and the score ended 4-3 for /k/. The final game against /mu/ was a do-or-die for /sci/ since they needed to win to have a chance to at least avoid relegation despite not making the knockouts, but thing started off badly with /mu/ scoring 2 goals in the first half, it looked like it was going to be another devastating loss, but with a joint effort by Bill Nye and Thorium made a last minute comeback to draw 2-2. This result sent /sci/ to Autumn but managed to salvage ''some'' dignity. | |||

/sci/ History
2012 Spring Babby Cup
Discussions to field a team representing /sci/ started off on January 6th, 2012 by Lion !FvAwVR8cv6, the board welcomed the proposal and started throwing proposals for players on the team. Between these proposals were included some logo ideas that featured then /sci/'s mascot /sci/duck and a generic scientist on a square background, but ultimately a square logo featuring Carl Sagan, Thorium and its atomic number and the number pi won the attention of the board and was declared the official logo that still stands to this day. The roster listed below was fielded for the 2012 4chan Spring Babby Cup Friendlies but /sci/ failed to submit a roster within the deadline by 4 minutes, commissioner GermanBro was harsh on the team and punished them with no medals, thus affecting them on their debut against d, but /sci/ took it quite well and even joked about the incident by making 4 minutes their goalhorn for the friendlies. Of course /sci/ lost their game against /d/ but somehow managed to beat /vp/ thanks to some serious spaghetti by them including 2 own goals by their players.
By the time the proper competition came, /sci/ incorporated now famous striker Bill Nye the Science Guy after being suggested by board goer Luca, Bill Nye quickly became /sci/'s gold striker in the GSBB era. The tournament had /sci/ drawn with /pol/, /r9k/ and /mlp/. /sci/'s start was a heartbreaking 1-1 draw against /r9k/ with a late minute goal by Japanese Lettuce Hardcore. Against /mlp/ the tables turned around as Bill Nye scored a near last minute equalizer. Facing uncertainty for their last game after /r9k/ defeated /mlp/, /sci/ had to beat /pol/ in the first edition of the Progressb Owl and got the result they wanted, a 2-1 win with goals by both Richards: Dawkins and Feynman. A play-in had to be made in order to be in the proper knock-out phase, so /sci/ as runners-up of their group faced /gif/, before that game the first actual live manager stepped up to help /sci/ under the name of Dicks !BYmn6QVNCw who managed to defeat /gif/ 1-0. In the quarters /sci/ routed the now infamous Durgen /n/ team to make the semis. But the dreams of gold ended with a 2-1 loss against /3/ with a failed rally attempt by Bill Nye that wasn't enough. Consolation came as /sci/ managed to beat /d/ to obtain the third place spot, a very fitting way to end their first official tournament by defeating their very first rivals.

2012 Summer Cup
With a third place finish in Spring, things looked promising for /sci/ heading into summer. But a couple of issues were soon to appear with the team. First it was that third place winning manager Dicks stated that he wasn't going to be available for summer, therefore /sci/ was into a managerial uncertainty heading into summer. Second was that the usual people in charge of /sci/'s wiki page were clashing heads over roster changes on one side was Luca and on the other side was Triviaguy88, the controversy came after Luca allegedly made some roster changes without consulting the board and ignoring the fact that there was a poll to make the roster changes, that and the fact that both were clashing heads on whether how the player Theory (A Guess) should be named, on one side there was a campaign to name him Theory (A geuss) and on the other Theory (a gauss).
With these elements in mind /sci/ was drawn in a group with defending elite cup champions /k/, /int/ and /mu/. The first game was a complete disaster featuring a very poor set of conditions that /int/ managed to take advantage of with a hattrick by Putin and goals by Maradona and >argentina >white. Next up came defending champions /k/, who came after a very close draw against /mu/, their offense was swift and effective as 3 goals were scored in the first 18 minutes. /sci/ managed to pull a late rally bringing the deficit to 3-2 but a 90+1' goal by Deagle Brand Deagle put any efforts of a comeback void, even with a last attempt by Bill Nye and the score ended 4-3 for /k/. The final game against /mu/ was a do-or-die for /sci/ since they needed to win to have a chance to at least avoid relegation despite not making the knockouts, but thing started off badly with /mu/ scoring 2 goals in the first half, it looked like it was going to be another devastating loss, but with a joint effort by Bill Nye and Thorium made a last minute comeback to draw 2-2. This result sent /sci/ to Autumn but managed to salvage some dignity.
