| lit penned their application into the 4chan Cup as part of the Founding Babbies. From the get-go in Spring 2012, /lit/ had a difficult time finding any success, playing the role of the Cup's nerds and being the recipients of metaphorical wedgies and swirlies from more physical teams. After a year of struggle it seemed /lit/ finally found their footing as they topped their group and reached the quarter finals, finally being halted by tv. Their optimism was never higher going into the 2013 Summer Cup, but hopes were swiftly dashed. A crushing 0-7 defeat to v would herald their worst cup performance yet, as well as relegation back to the babbies. The following Autumn and Spring cups would not fare any better, and /lit/ by this point was sadly seen by other teams as merely fodder instead of a hurdle. The status quo changed with the coming of Summer 2014. Giants like a, sp, and wg fell, but that was only the first half of a story which continued in Autumn where new, unexpected talent arose. Intellectualism was in resurgence, and /lit/, along with long-time rivals sci stormed decisively into the knockouts and back into an elite cup. In this past Winter Cup, others still expected little from /lit/, but the bookworms were ready to show those in doubt just what plebs they were! With upsets over vg and wsg, lit continued to shed its old aura with commanding wins over /wg/ and asp. The end result was a 4th place finish – respectable in its own right, but also /lit/'s finest cup performance ever. They have demonstrated that success can come not just from a sports page, or a magazine, but a goddamn book. | ||
