Being one of the Original Sixteen, /adv/ has been a quiet yet reliable team for the entirety of the 4chan Cup. By now names like 5 Inch Dick and S/adv/irgin are recognized by nearly all Cup spectators because of their long road traveled. They were slow to find their footing early on, ranking 8th in the inaugural 2012 Summer Cup and failing to qualify for the first Spring Babby. Things changed by Autumn 2012 with progression to the Round of 16, and improved further in the 2013 Winter Cup. It was there that /adv/ were grouped in the famous Group Hell. After hard-fought but bitter losses to /a/ and /mlp/, /adv/ were considered dead-on-arrival in their third game against /m/. What happened next, to many, was the most celebrated upset not only in team history, but in all of 4chan Cup history. /adv/ humiliated /m/ with a 6-1 blowout, confounding absolutely everyone present, relegating /m/ and /mlp/, and themselves surviving all the way to the Quarter Finals. After that, /adv/ was a quintessential yo-yo team, being relegated and then promoted from every cup right up until the 2014 Spring Babby, where they failed to promote. After a brief stint back in the Elites in Summer 2016 and Winter 2017 they are currently playing in the 2017 Spring Babby Cup.

History

Main article: /adv/ Match History

Summer 11: The Original Team

/adv/ was one of 16 boards that entered the inaugural 4chan Cup competition, the 2011 Summer Cup with a team of players distinctly different from the sort of players that teams use today. Their first match was a 3-1 loss to /tv/, but they did form a brief losers bracket run eliminating rivals /soc/ as well /int/ before bowing out to /mu/. Their performance was just enough to put them in the top half, finishing 8th overall.

Winter 12-Winter 13: The Fall and Rise

For the 2012 Winter Cup four new boards were added. To keep the bracket from needing any byes or preliminary, the 4 least popular boards were removed from the competition to make way for Second Founding. /adv/ was one of those boards. Though the other 3 boards that were dropped soon made their return for the 2012 Spring Babby, /adv/ were disqualified for not completing their team on time and were instead replaced by /an/.

Even in the famous Group H promo, /adv/ was not considered a favorite to survive the group stage.

Their return finally came in the 2012 Autumn Babby. They started out with two draws in a row against /soc/ and /lit/ with their gold striker 5 Inch Dick providing all their goals. With both of those teams on 4 points by /adv/’s final game they needed a win against /gif/ to advance to the knockouts and out of the babbies. A 4-0 victory secured /adv/’s place in the Winter Cup. They earned 5th place in the babbies, eventually being eliminated by rivals /r9k/ in the most dreadful match of football ever seen in the cup.

/adv/’s 2013 Winter Cup started with them being placed in Group Hell with /m/, /a/ and /mlp/. Given the strength of their opposition they were instantly deemed relegation favourites. Though there were plenty of goals in their matches against /a/ and /mlp/, they would both end up being losses for /adv/. Their final match was against the titanic /m/, ranked 2nd best team in the cup at the time. A 2 goal victory was needed to give /adv/ safety from relegation. The now legendary match between is considered by most to be one of if not the biggest upset in 4chan Cup history: /adv/ 6 - 1 /m/.

Summer 13-Winter 14: Yo-yo Seasons

The Summer Cup started with /adv/ being drawn against /mlp/ once again, /trv/ and /f/. The momentum had certainly dissipated from their previous cup run as they eventually found themselves being relegated. 1-0 losses against /trv/ and /mlp/ meant their win over /f/ was not enough for survival. AI glitches were not kind to /adv/, though the fact they did not score a single goal from open play shows how weak they were.

/adv/ were much improved for the following Autumn Babbies, where they won all three of their group matches against /asp/, /c/ and /po/ to 9 point their group and bounce back up to the elites. /toy/ defeated /adv/ in their first knockout match and eventually went on to win the babbies themselves.

Now looking to prove a point that their elimination from the elites was just a fluke, /adv/ started the 2014 Winter Cup with a win versus /cm/. When it came to a rematch against /a/, /adv/ once again let 4 goals past. Though they still had a good chance of qualifying, an embarrasing 3-7 loss against /cgl/ saw relegated /adv/ once again.

After two losses in a row in Spring 2014, /adv/ had to hope for another miracle run to begin with their match against /k/.

Spring 14-Spring 16: Stuck in the Babbies

The 2014 Spring Babbies was /adv/’s worst ever performance in a cup, failing to win a single match or even score a goal by themselves. /k/’s keeper Castle Doctrine’s own goal meant that he was /adv/’s top scorer. Losses to /pol/ and /co/ as well as draws against /k/ and /lit/ meant that they finished 34th place out of 40 teams.

Their fortunes were better for Autumn, where they managed wins over /tv/ and over /v/ in a very entertaining 5-4 match. However it was losses against /lit/ and /s/ that saw them promoted over /adv/ where a draw against either of them may have put /adv/ through instead.

Disqualification in 2012, a dreadful performance in 2014 and some bad luck in 2015 meant that the season of spring started to seem cursed. An opening win against /y/ gave /adv/ some hope early on in the campaign. The next match against /po/ saw a 69 minute long lead for /adv/ swing the other way as /po/ scored in the 88th minute and again in injury time to steal all 3 points. While they controlled the match against /cm/ for a solid 70 minutes, they failed to find the back of the net and once /cm/ got a goal the match was theirs. Mathematically relegated by their last match, a 4-2 loss to /o/ capped off another bad cup.

The poor result in spring, as well as a severe case of >no fans led to /adv/ having to compete in a fetus cup. 2 wins and a draw saw them through, and an initial win against /3/ in the 2015 Autumn Babby gave /adv/ a chance to return to the elites. Due to other results in the group, this opportunity was still there even after losses to /a/ and /toy/; the winner of their match against /s4s/ would advance in 2nd place. This picture should tell you which team went through.

3 points from 4 games meant that /adv/ would enter another fetus cup in order to qualify for the 2016 Spring Babby Cup. The tournament format saw the top teams in each group going through with the 3rd placed teams in each group entering a knockout round to replace /o/. /adv/ suffered an unfortunate draw against /biz/ followed by a humiliating 2-7 defeat to /gif/, the worst in the team's history. Victory against /fa/ was enough to see them through to the playoffs where they looked a lot stronger, easily dispatching /toy/ and /vg/ to claim the last spot for Spring.

2016 Spring was kicked off for /adv/ with a match against rivals /r9k/ which they lost 2-1. A 4-2 victory against /c/ and 1-0 defeat to /vr/ meant a third place finish in their group. This initially looked like it at least avoided a situation where /adv/ would need to enter another fetus cup by finishing just 3 places from advancing. It was then that powerful meme magic finally allowed /adv/ a return to the elite cups after 2 and a half long years.

Summer 2016 - Present: A Lucky Opportunity Well Taken, Followed By Death

Many wouldn't have seen /adv/'s surprise return to the elites as much more than a chance for them to improve their pot for the upcoming Autumn Babby. They certainly wouldn't have expected the result of their first match: /pol/ 1 - 8 /adv/. The hammering even saw Suicide setting a new record as he found the net 6 times, the most by a single player in a single match in the history of the cup. They next faced /lit/, a team they hadn't managed victory against in 3 previous attempts, but they managed it 5-3 on this occasion. All but confirmed for the knockouts, /adv/ finally showed a sign of weakness as they slipped to a 4-2 defeat to /an/. /adv/ bounced back in their Round of 16 fixture against /s4s/, keeping a rare clean sheet in 2016 in a 3-0 win. The quarter-final against /m/ was a back and forth match where /m/ stormed to a 2-0 lead within 12 minutes. /adv/ managed to claw the match back, equalising twice before finally taking a 4-3 lead. /m/ managed to level the game with around 10 minutes left and it was that point that Char came to laugh at /adv/ and kill the game off with a brace, securing a 6-4 victory for the giant robots. Suicide's 12 goals in the cup were almost enough to earn him the golden boot despite having 2 fewer games than 4 other teams; it was only in the final that a >rape double-brace for /mlp/ saw the award slip from his grasp.

Winter 2017 did not go so well. The Righat drew /adv/ into Group F with /fit/, /out/ and /h/. Things got off to a great start thanks to Suicide's brace against /out/, followed by a 0-0 borefest with /fit/. /adv/ topped the group going into the final day and watched from the stands as /fit/ blew their opponents the fuck /out/. /adv/'s task was to not lose to /h/, who went into the match as underdogs. The /h/arbingers surprised everybody and won 3-0, knocking /adv/ out on goal difference.

While Winter was a lost cause, Spring 2017 delivered what looked like a walk in the park for /adv/. They were drawn into Group A with /p/, /po/, and somehow-escaped-the-Fetus /t/, in what was labelled "the worst fucking group ever". /adv/ would take on /po/ first and opened the scoring with a Relationshit strike. However, memories of that ill-fated day in Spring 2015 flooded back to /adv/, and those memories turned out to be precognitive. /po/ struck back twice within the last fifteen minutes of the game and went on to win 2-1. Suicide brushed off the loss within two minutes in their game against /p/ with an early goal, but /adv/ were forced to share the points in the end. After /p/ disposed of an already-promoted /po/, /adv/ had a new task: Score at least three goals and win by at least two in their last game. And they looked to be in luck: /t/ was their opponent.

All that luck turned out to be useless. /t/ crushed /adv/'s hopes and won 4-1 in a match that ultimately did not even matter, in a group that ultimately did not even matter. Along with /p/ and /t/, /adv/ were put to sleep by /merit/ for having no fan support or fan interaction (polls, match threads).

After six long years in the cup (with a brief absence in 2012), /adv/ appear to rest in peace.

Rivalries

The Beta Bowl Sharing so many identical features, /adv/'s main rival is the once-feared ROBOT9000, now a festering shell of its former self as ROBOT9001. Matches between the two sides usually result in no-score draws due to both teams being scared of touching the ball in case anything bad happens.
