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.

Team History

Spring 2021--Early Campaigns

As a new team set to debut upon the greatest stage of all time, /vst/ launched training operations at a frenzied pace, determined to establish themselves as a major power in the World Cup. It should be noted (despite any claims, official records, or video evidence to the contrary) that /vst/ did not participate in Beta Bowl II, and even if it had, it most certainly would not have spooned out with a -5 GD. What can be determined, however, is that around this time, /vst/ gained crucial knowledge of what does not work, and like the Soviet Union after the Winter War, set out to correct these deficiencies.

After a period of wargames and skirmishing, /vst/ next took to the Spring Friendlies. Whereas other teams foolishly wasted this opportunity on meme strats and wild formations, /vst/ came to conquer, defeating mighty /m/ and establishing dominance over their little brother /vm/. All in all, /vst/ came out of the friendlies with a commanding 3-1 record, proving to all that they are a force to be reckoned with.

With their training complete, /vst/ sounded the drums of war. With >Kane at their head, and the indomitable will of the board behind them, the team marched to the World Cup, and to glory.

Summer 2021--The Greatest Game

Arriving at the World Cup, /vst/ drew into Group I, alongside /toy/, /fit/ and /lit/. /vst/'s debut was ultimately inauspicious, choosing to preserve /toy/'s dignity and instead electing to join its brother boards (and /vt/) in tying their inaugural matches. After a week's bye to plan for their remaining matches, /vst/ partook in the humiliation of /fit/, routing the >2 star team and sending them home with naught but the Wooden Spoon to show for their feeble efforts. However, going into the /lit/ game, there were those who doubted /vst/, saying that tying /toy/ was a sign of weakness and defeating /fit/ proved nothing. /vst/ made fools of them all, defying the New Stadium Curse to crush /lit/ 3-1, tying the record for Highest Average Rating for the first time since 2015, pioneering the +1 meta that would stand for the remainder of the cup, and securing their rightful place as the top team of the group.

Their critics thusly silenced, and the tide of opinion rapidly turning in their favor, /vst/ moved on to the Round of 32, with /s4s/ drawing to face them. The match began well in /vst/'s favor, ceding an early goal--as was rapidly becoming tradition--before striking back with nuclear fury, Nuclear Gandhi claiming a brace and Kane one more to bring the score to 3-1 at halftime.

What happened next is unclear, but later chemical analysis would reveal that Gandhi's halftime tea had been laced with soy milk instead of cow's milk. It is believed that this caused Gandhi to suffer rapid-onset ideological shift, leading him to embrace such vile notions as "Liberalism" and "Pacifism", as he then proceeded to spend the entire second half passing the ball directly to the /s4s/ keeper at every opportunity. Even with /vst/'s offense so utterly crippled, /s4s/ struggled to make a comeback, with only a freak throughball at 90+2 sending the game into extra time and eventually penalties. Unfortunately, despite a heroic performance from the powerliches, /s4s/ eventually squeaked out a single kick ahead, claiming victory by only the most technical of margins. As /vst/ withdrew to get Gandhi an emergency transfusion of Douglas MacArthur's blood, /s4s/ would go on to overpower /soc/, /mlp/, /sp/ and /b/ to claim the World Cup.

Autumn 2021--The Long Winter

As the World Cup came to a close, an unsteady silence descended across the boards. With all sides in need of rest and refit after the titanic struggle, the usual friendlies season was canceled, with forces instead committed to preparing for the Autumn Cup. With 40 teams split into groups of 5, the odds of promotion were slim, yet /vst/'s resolve never wavered, and with fire in their hearts, the team set forth to conquer.

Unfortunately, for all their planning, /vst/ had forgotten to account for one simple act: treason. The details remain unclear, but in /vst/'s opening match against /jp/, the opposing team demonstrated a knowledge and circumvention of /vst/'s tactics that could not possibly have come from any other source than traitorous actions. With the entire season's offensive compromised by a 0-2 loss, /vst/ redoubled their efforts, striking down the infamous /pol/ in a 3-1 rout, raising the team banner over the ruins of the Reichtag, and renewing the spirit of the attack.

/vst/'s momentum carried through, humiliating /gd/ with an identical scoreline, and with the stakes at their height, /vst/ stepped into their final battle of the groups, facing off against their distant cousins /vp/. Taking the lead in the first half, /vst/'s path to the elites was open, before a minor chink in /vst/'s lines was found at 62 minutes and relentlessly exploited, ending the game 1-3 and marking /vst/'s first defeat on their home soil.

Thus robbed of their place in the Elites, /vst/ endured a harsh winter, undertaking constant training at Weekly Divegrass, and twice paying back /vp/ for their treachery. The cold and rain tempered the men, forging them into an iron rod of unshakable might, and with steely resolve, /vst/ emerged with the Spring bloom to right the wrongs of the previous season and claim their rightful place in the pinnacle of the League.

Rivalries

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.
