The second child of the 3rd Balkanization of /v/, /vst/ is home to the greatest strategic minds of a generation. Raised on the battlefields of X-Com and Command & Conquer, their skill at leading men to their deaths is unrivaled across the boards. All who dare oppose the unshakable will of /vst/ will crumble before them, as long as nobody forgets to build their pylons.

Winter 2023 – The Mountaintop.
/vst/ appeared to have heeded all past lessons taught to them since their inception; patience, planning and preparation. These were all things the team knew they would need to achieve in order to topple the giants and reach the promised lands.
Patience – The cup kicked off with /vst/ entering their group stages facing off against the perennial thorn in their side /n/, the highly-rated /ck/ and the uber-defensive team of /d/. These teams would need to be conquered before the team could dream of what was to come. The first clash was against /n/ and just like in their last exchange /n/ would come out the winners with an emphatic 1-0 victory over /vst/, this was not the best place for the team to be in, but they knew they would have more chances to stake their claim in this prestigious cup. Next up in the group stages was /ck/, 2 goals early in the first half from our beloved captain KANE LIVES and fan favourite Wololo secured the team’s first victory this cup and unbeknownst to everyone else; the beginning of the end for all others. Before the team could get ahead of itself it would need to see off /d/. The War Room knew they would need to dig deep into their tactical manoeuvres to try and unlock /d/ and this was done with expert precision as /vst/ would run out winners with a 5-3 victory, When The Work Result Was Good introducing themselves to the team in a big way by bagging a brace in their new role, with goals also coming from KANE LIVES (x2) and Wololo (x1). /d/ would attempt do grab goals late in the match (72’, 87’ and 90’+6) however this was no enough to stop the march of /vst/ as they made their way into the Round of 16.
Planning – The gloves were off now and /vst/ would only be competing against the biggest hitters of the 4Chan Cup, this would require careful planning from the masters of strategy as there would no longer be a cushion of future games; lose one game and /vst/ were eliminated. In order for /vst/ to continue their march they would need to best /h/ and this proved to be easier said than done. /h/ would hold fast, opting to play 4 at the back, each defensive player being a CB meaning /h/ were attempting to shut out /vst/’s offense and this proved to be effective as the match went past the 90-minute mark, goalless. The deadlock was broken at the 101-minute mark as Faceless Fat Guy found space on the end of a through ball and put the visitor’s up, 1-0. This looked to be the nail in the coffin for /vst/ as they struggled to break through /h/’s stalwart defence, seeing the team’s hope circling the drain, our captain Kane Lives grabbed the game by the horns and found an equaliser in the 112’ minute to keep the dream alive, this would buy the team some breathing room as the game now went to penalties. There was some unease among the support regarding the penalty kick takers as Management saw fit to sub off the Silver Medal Arthas for a non-medal during the Extra Time, however their fears would be put to rest as Good luck! I'm behind 7000 Powerliches produced the save to keep the team and their dreams alive. Next on the road to the final was older brother /vrpg/ who were being touted as the “team to watch” and both teams did not fail to show that the /v/alkan boards were no slouches; by the end of the first half the score was 3-2 to /vst/ with every shot on target resulting in a goal. The second half slowed down as both team’s goalkeepers would wake up, but nothing was stopping Kane Lives from completing his hattrick and securing the victory in decisive fashion. The final score being 4-2.
Preparation – 2 more games. Just 2 more games and /vst/ would secure immortality, not only as being one of the youngest teams to earn a star, but the first of the /v/alkans to do so. Just 2 more games.
The first of these games would be against a team /vst/ had already seen off this tournament; /ck/. This match would not be as clear cut as their previous encounter though with some last gasp drama turning this game into the “Match of the Tournament”. In the 7th minute of the game /ck/ would go up by a goal thanks to a header from Fast Food Autism, putting /vst/ on the backfoot early into the exchange, however this would not define /vst/ as they fought back harder than ever, tying up the game with a goal from Wololo on the 25th minute. The play appeared to be very much one sided, the only thing keeping /ck/ in the game being the sturdy and reliable hands of /ck/’s goalkeeper Cast-Iron Skillet producing save after save after save. The onslaught would not let up however as eventually When The Work Result Was Good broke through enemy lines and slotted a goal beyond Cast-Iron Skillet at 85’. The match was rounded up, /vst/ would advance, the match was all but over, until /ck/ shifted tactics. /ck/ had found their way into the semi’s thanks to an own goal in their previous match with /biz/ and this game appeared to be going down the same route; with the last kick off the game /ck/ piled the bodies into the box and due to a missed block, You Must Construct Additional Pylons conceded an own goal, meaning both teams would need to go into extra time. The following exchanges by both teams would be ferocious and nail biting, both teams testing each other’s mettle with some impressive saves being made by both sets of keepers, however the difference between the two teams would be in the form of the “Goal of the Tournament.”; Work Result received the ball at their feet, unleashing a ferocious shot at /ck/’s keeper, however the steeled palms of Cast-Iron Skillet would parry this away, only for it to fall to Nuclear Gandhi who brought the stray ball down with his chest and released a thunderous volley at the /ck/ goal. Cast-Iron Skillet would remain stalwart and dive towards the near post, producing another incredible save but this would not stop the tenacity of the Indian menace as Nuclear Gandhi stepped up and took a third shot at goal, this time finding the back of the net by the slimmest of margins. The meal was over, /ck/ had been cooked.
Despite many people’s expectations, /vst/ had reached the finals of the 4Chan Winter Cup 2023 and were joined by another unlikely competitor in the form of /t/. Both teams had went far beyond the expectations of their peers, reaching the upper echelons of Divegrass supremacy but with every competition, there could be only 1 winner. The stage was set, /vst/ were facing down their very first star and it really was anyone’s game at this time.
/vst/ opened up the floodgates, putting immediate pressure onto /t/ with wave after wave of attacks, however /t/ would hold firm in every skirmish. It took until the 29th minute for a side to give way and it would be in favour of /t/, Golden Boot winner Never Ever Paying Adobe finding themselves on the end of a loose ball and effortlessly glided the ball through a blockade of bodies, gaining /t/ the lead in this contest. /vst/ would go into the second half a goal down, but this…as always, was part of the plan. With the fans of /t/ cheering and celebrating their destined victory, /vst/ would put their master plan into action, this would start with an early goal from When The Work Result Was Good; a back heel from Kane Lives to Tall/Wide allowed the RB to unleash a wicked cross into the path of the Silent Orchestra who fired a bullet into the back of /t/’s net, sending a warning shot to the masses that /vst/ were far from over. At the 58th minute Kane would find himself in acres of space thanks to a beautiful pass from Wololo, the Captain would not waste this gifted opportunity and ensure that the team gained the lead after an emphatic right footed shot from Kane, turning the screws on /t/. The opposition manager now seen their ship was taking on water and throw everything at /vst/ to try and stem the tide however this would be a fruitless endeavour as Wololo would all but sink /t/’s ship; Wololo won the ball in the midfield, having to be in full stretch to pass the ball to Kane, followed by some passes between Gandhi and Kane, Wololo picked himself up of the ground and pushed through /t/’s defence to find the pass from Kane Lives and solidify the victory for the In/vst/ors.
Full-time. 3-1. /vst/ were Elite Champions of the 4chan Cup.

The Friendly Sibling Rivalry As brothers both by blood and through fire, /vm/ and /vst/ share a bond few boards can comprehend. Nevertheless, /vst/ always delights in reminding its little brother that twitch reflexes are no match for a well-orchestrated plan. |

The Fire Emblem Debacle Is Fire Emblem a turn based strategy game with rpg elements based on unit usage or a rpg game that happens to have turn based strategy elements with those units? Ever since the days of /v/ such arguments discussed about. With the introduction of /vst/ and /vrpg/ these arguments have once again strung up on both boards on occasion when discussing SRPGs or in their own seperate threads about the series. As neither team had a proper representation for the game during their first encounter in Autumn 2022 the debate was in true neutral standing as /vrpg/ found itself winning with a 2-1 victory. However since then, /vst/ has wholeheartly accepted FE's roots as a turned based strategy game first by representing the series via music in joint anthems and eventually having Fire Emblem find its way on the team, with the caveat it would share its place with a variety of other SRPG who weren't XCOM. Since this, /vst/ has found itself winning 3 straight victories against /vrpg/ each with a major event taking place in team history with every victory. The first a 4-2 victory in Winter 2023 gave team captain Kane Live's first ever hattrick and helped propel /vst/ to becoming Winter 2023's champion. The second in Summer 2023 resulted in a 3-0 /vst/ victory which was /vst/'s first elite KO clean sheet victory and also helped get /vst/ to reach 5th place, the highest place a champion has ever gotten in a subsequent tournament after winning it all. Finally most recently in 2024 Winter Group Stage, /vst/ pulled a miraculous comeback against /vrpg/ as while they found themselves down 0-3 before 35 minutes the team rallied to make the final score 4-3 in favor of /vst/ , that match being only the 4th in cup history where a team that goes down 3 goals recovers to win the match 4-3 And some people say FE doesn't require strategy. |
