Both teams failed to advance but at least /sci/ can still maintain the “all engineers are fags” statement as law. | ||

Since the dawn of time, anons from far and wide have come to /sci/ to post their IQ and take autism tests. The best and brightest of these pseuds have come together and put forth 23 of their finest memes and beloved scientists to represent them in the 4chan Cup. Over 10 years after the team's founding, the /sci/entists are looking to put their Ph.D's to use and sperg their way into the history books, and after many trials and tribulations the team had achieved victory in the 2023 Autumn Babby Cup. So put down that CS book and get ready to do some real science, brainlet.

Cup & Match History
Main Article: /sci/ History
2024 Winter Cup
Coming off the victory in Autumn, /sci/ returned to the elites hoping for good things in the coming season. The hopes were tempered very quickly as /sci/ ran into 0-4 blow out against /t/, the runner up from the previous year's winter cup, and needed to make good on the other two games in the group. After /sci/ was unable to score on /t/ in its first game no matter how deep into the box it got, the rematch against /k/ from a year prior went much better initially. You Should be able to solve this ran pulled hat trick on /k/, and /sci/ looked to be in a solid position going into the last game. However a minor tactical change on the part of the management caused /sci/ to lose its pressure in the midfield and /k/ managed to run up two goals before the change was rectified, a game that would have otherwise canceled out a large portion /sci/'s goal deficit now left it in a situation where it could die even if it beat /y/. The 6-6-6-0 tragedy loomed as /sci/ needed to beat /y/ and have /t/ pull at least a draw despite being down a Silver Medal. The last day of the group stage arrived and a difficult slog against /y/ ensued, all looked well as You Should Be Able To Solve This managed to score at the 20th minute, then 10 man abuse reared its ugly head again as /y/ got red carded not to long thereafter. The 1-0 lead was maintained until an equalizer occurred early in the second half, /sci/ could still advance on a draw but the margins for the following game would be even tighter, needing /t/ to win outright. Attack after attack from both teams' strikers failed as the clock began to run out, the game entered injury time just as /y/ throw in was intercepted and /sci/ went on the offense; the shot by >>>/x/ was barely intercepted by the /y/ keeper, it bounced off his finger tips and allowed Wernher von Braun to make an attempt that rebounded of the post, but with the defense all tripped up You Should Be Able To Solve This managed to sink a second goal in off the kapow at 90 minutes plus 4. The game ended instantly after the following kickoff and /sci/ would advance with /t/ after their 3-3 draw with /k/.
/sci/ was seeded against /d/ for the round of 16 and looked quite formidable. The /d/eviants had racked up 9 points to top their group stage by running an unorthodox illegal formation that none of the other teams in Group B seemed able to deal with. Despite this /sci/ came out firing on all cylinders with You Should Be Able To Solve This and Shinichi Mochizuki getting 3 goals in before /d/ was even able to respond with one of their own. Even after Giantess' goal, the /sci/borgs continued to push forward as Richard Feynman would get his own brace before the end of the match bringing to scoreboard to 5-1. The Final day had arrived and /sci/ had the first quaterfinal match against an /f/ that had proved itself incredibly strong having 9 pointed their Group A in Winter as well as Group E in Autumn, only losing to /mlp/ in the Round of 16. The match opened up and /f/ managed to score first at 20', but Feynman managed to score and level the game before the end of the first half. /sci/ and /f/ were bogged down in a battle of attrition as both teams' offenses had a difficult time trying to find the weaknesses in each other's defenses to exploit, tactical changes did little to alter the situation as the second half ended and went into extra time. Not even the extra subs provided seemed to give either attack what was needed to make it over the line, it all came down to penalties shot out that ended 3-1 for /sci/ with Boiling Water and >carbon fiber hull making up the shots that the two Golds had missed. For a moment, it looked like /sci/ could repeat what /lgbt/ did back in 2017 during the height abuse era and win back to back babby-elite championships, but alas it was not to be as /sci/ blundered into a 0-3 loss against /pw/ that not even /t/'s boarding party stratagem could salvage. /sci/ would not make it to the finals, but would instead go to its first 3rd place match since the team's debut in 2012, where it would then suffer a narrow 3-4 loss against [wsg]. In spite of being shut out from a top 3 finish, /sci/'s fans were happy with the team's success, setting a new best elite performance at 4th and punching their tickets to summer in the process where the dreaded PES 16 awaited.

Statistics
Main Article: /sci/ Player Statistics
Trivia
- /sci/ is one of only 2 teams to have drawn 30 or more games.
- Despite being the longest tenured keeper on the team, Stephen Hawking finished his goalkeeping career only recorded seven clean sheets in an 11 year period, averaging less than 1 per year, and his first recorded clean sheet did not come until 2017. For comparison, Thorium, the second leader in clean sheets, had a short career spanning four years averaged over 1 clean sheet per year.
- /sci/ went 10 years without promoting from a Spring Babby Cup in a way that didn't involve a scandal or a controversial decision (2012-2022), being eligible to play in 6 of them; staying within the same subject, /sci/ spent 8 years without promoting from an Autumn Babby Cup (2014-2022), although they only participated in 4 thanks to a combination of staying elite and one forfeit.
- As of the time of writing /sci/ has conceded goals in 91.1% of games played.
- In the 2023 Summer Cup, Norman Wildberger scored /sci/'s first double brace since Richard Feynman's against /diy/ in 2015
- As of October 2023, /sci/ has never won on Halloween weekend.
- /sci/ became the second team to register a four medal performance in a Final, against /mlp/, the first team that achieved this feat against /tv/ in Spring 2013.

Rivalries
 /lit/ - The Intellectualism Derby |
A match filled with brains and boredom (specially the 10+ minute managing spaghetti at the 2013 Spring Babbies), both boards enjoy reading but /sci/ prefers books that have the purpose of understanding the universe and physics while /lit/ prefers to read made up stories that are 2deep4u. The /lit/erati see the /sci/entists as a soulless team, as for The Science Team say they are just jelly of their 300k starting jobs in Math because they took an actual helpful God Tier Major instead of ending up on the dole because of their shit tier majors. As for 4CC matters, /lit/ has won three official matches and an old offical friendly, but /sci/ will keep on testing until they can find a scientifically proven tactic that will drive them to victory. |
| 0 Wins - 0 Draws - 4 Losses |
 /pol/ - The Progress Bowl |
Both boards want the best for humanity, although they both disagree on some aspects: /pol/ disagrees with the moral values of /sci/ and /sci/ disagrees with the ethnic cleansing proposals of /pol/. These matches are filled with air raids and nuclear testings so the happenning is now. Both boards have met three times, the first time was a 2-1 victory for the /sci/entists with goals by Richard Feynman and Dawkins, the next one was a 2-1 win for the /pol/acks in the 2012 Summer Cup friendlies. Given /pol/'s elite status and /sci/'s decline both boards had to wait one year to face each other again, this time in the 2013 Summer Cup, where both teams were already eliminated but that didn't stop them from having fun at the infamous Doompaul pitch, whereas /sci/ won 1-0 with a goal by Bill Nye to put the ball back in /sci/'s court. These teams would not face each other for nearly 4 years, this time in a complete different scenario, the 2017 Spring Babby Qualifiers, /pol/ in shambles after disastrous performances one after the other and /sci/ returning after a year of hiatus, both teams were put on a do or die situation where a draw would favor /sci/, taking into account the horrid performances by /pol/ in their new stadium, /sci/ opted to use their stadium instead of the Time Cube, this time around both teams gathered for a joint anthem to protest Bill Nye's brainlet views on gender. Richard Feynman put 2 goals that were enough to gain the draw to advance and bury /pol/ in their stadium, being buried by a Jewish scientist that scored twice on them on the same day that marked the anniversary of Hitler's suicide. The most recent matchup was in Summer 18 and saw /sci/ bury /pol/ 2-1 and staying elite at their expense, while they headed to the inferno of the babbies. /sci/ and /pol/ would meet again in Spring 22 losing to /pol/ 1-2 for the first time in an official cup match, both promoted anyway. While /sci/ normally opposes the idea of slavery, they seem content on owning /pol/. |

 /diy/ - Science vs. Engineering |
An age old question that has been argued for years: Which is more useful, Science or Engineering? This derby plans to settle the debate once and for all with /sci/ and /diy/ facing each other for philanthropic dominance. The first matchup between these two boards was in the 2013 Autumn Babby Cup friendlies, on which /diy/ managed to pull a draw with the /sci/entists. These two teams would not face each other (barring friendlies and invitationals where /sci/ won a game and drew the other) until the 2015 4chan Winter Cup in a decisive match where it was a situation of do or die for both teams in order to advance, /diy/ struck first with an early 2-0, but with Feynman’s once-in-a-lifetime shot, a miracle performance by CB Triple Integrals and a goal by Bosnia’s Brave Nikola Tesla made /sci/ take a trip to the knockouts and the advantage on this rivalry. They would meet again in the 2015 Autumn Babby Cup but with a strong /diy/ and a /sci/ in a do-or-die situation, things looked to be a bit lopsided… and they were, in favour of /sci/, giving the /sci/borgs their largest win recorded so far. Both teams failed to advance but at least /sci/ can still maintain the “all engineers are fags” statement as law. |
