/a/, the winners of the inaugural 2011 4chan Summer Cup, are a mainstay of the 4chan Cup theater and have a loyal following.
Despite a disappointing 2012 4chan Winter Cup, /a/ was in the hunt for glory at the 2012 4chan Summer Cup. Drawn in Group 2 with /m/, /pol/ and /g/, /a/ sought to defend their Summer Cup title as the third-placed side in the rankings. Unfortunately, a brutal loss to /pol/ kept them out of the second round.
The 2013 4chan Winter Cup saw /a/ looking to reaffirm their place as a top side despite drawing what was widely considered the toughest group of the tournament. Rising to the challenge, /a/ swept the group with wins over /mlp/, /m/, and /adv/ to earn their spot in the knockouts. A comeback win over /hm/ propelled them to the final 8, but a poor performance against /cm/ eliminated them.
/a/ took the field in the 2013 4chan Summer Cup with new management but continued its run of success. A cagey draw with /h/ was followed by successive 5-0 demolitions of /tv/ and /po/, launching /a/ to another group-topping performance. In the knockouts, /a/ handled /x/ 3-0 before falling again in the quarterfinals to eventual champion /wg/.
/a/ entered the 2014 4chan Winter Cup as a heavy favorite to top Group A, and indeed got their first goal in the 5th minute of the entire tournament. However, missed opportunities and a successful counterattack left /a/ in an early points deficit with a 1-1 draw against /cgl/. /a/ bounced back with a 4-2 drubbing of /adv/ and seemed poised to advance. However, a surprise 7-3 victory by /cgl/ over /adv/ in the third round meant that /a/'s 1-1 draw against /cm/ advanced them as group runners-up. This set the stage for one of the most anticipated matchups in 4chan Cup history, a round of 16 clash with /sp/. El Classico's return held up to the billing, with Accelerator's heroic keeping keeping /sp/'s first half assault from producing a goal. In the second half, /a/'s fight back saw them carry the momentum and Bert break through for the game's lone goal. /a/'s quarterfinal saw them go down 0-2 to a solid /toy/ squad, but then score 4 unanswered to flip the script. /toy/ attempted to claw back into the match but /a/ prevailed 4-3. /a/'s knockout gauntlet continued when they faced /mlp/ in the semifinals. A late Bert strike appeared to be the winner, but /mlp/ threw everyone forward and found an equalizer deep into second half injury time. /a/ rallied as Mugi found Bert for a second in the late minutes of extra time and /a/ were on to the final. Unfortunately, /a/ could not finish the quest for a historic second star, as /trv/'s defensive efforts resulted in a game with few shots, and they took their first championship 2-0. With Bert taking golden boot and Accelerator taking golden glove for the tournament, /a/ has re-established itself as one of the powers in the Cup and must be considered a favorite to go all the way again in Summer.

Rivalries
/a/ vs /sp/ - The /a/sp/ie Derby
/a/ and /sp/ have never gotten along. Shots are fired among these boards every now and then, with the most notable example being /sp/'s ONII-CHAN~~ video. However, 2011 was the year this feud reached new heights. On top of Japan winning the Women's World Cup against the USA in the final that year and /a/ rubbing it in on /sp/'s sticky thread for said match, /a/ would also eliminate /sp/ from the first 4chan World Cup after a memorable come back. At the last minute of injury time, /a/ would complete a 2 goal comeback to force the match to go to extra time with the score being 3-3. In the end, /a/ eliminated /sp/ via penalty kicks and would go on to become the first champions of the 4chan cup after beating /ck/ easily. /a/ and /sp/ met again in a highly-anticipated (and highly-shitposted) rematch during the Round of 16 of the 2014 Winter Cup. The two teams remained neck and neck until the second half, where Bert is a Titan managed to score the only goal of the game in spite of characteristically lackluster performance in the first half.
/a/ vs /v/ - The "Tsundere Bowl" (a.k.a. "Tsun-derby")
Plenty of /a/nons play vidya, and plenty of /v/irgins watch animu, but every time they get together the two sides want to beat each other into a pulp before admitting to any crossover between their boards.
/a/ vs /b/ - The Old Firm (a.k.a. "Cancer Derby I")
These are two of the oldest boards on 4chan, and with /b/ becoming more cancerous over time after no longer being Anime/Random, /a/ has a bigger hatred for /b/ than most boards.
/a/ vs /jp/ - The True Weeabowl (a.k.a. "2hu Derby")
Several years ago, every /a/ thread was ripe for a hijack about Touhou, so after enough bitching moot decided to exile all the Touhou fans to /jp/. Which side holds the True Weeaboo spirit? The winner of this match gets a dakimakura with character of their choice, courtesy of the losing team, accompanied by a sudden rush of self-loathing.
