/a/, the winners of the inaugural 2011 4chan Summer Cup, are a mainstay of the 4chan Cup theater and have a loyal following. The team features different anime with each season, though some remain as permanent figures since the beginning of time. /a/ is a very proud board, where shitting on someone's anime taste is generally not a good idea.

Team history

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/ had re-established itself as one of the powers in the Cup.

Then, all that success was undone in the 2014 4chan Summer Cup, where /a/ was relegated and was subsequently voted as the Disappoinment of the Tournament by fans.

With 4 interim managers coming in for the 2014 4chan Autumn Babby Cup, /a/ seemed to get off to a good start by way of a 4-2 win over /r9k/; however, the largest loss of their history followed, 6-1 to /ck/, and a 1-1 draw with /out/ did nothing to help get the team back on their feet. A miracle was needed to even have a chance at advancement against /n/, but nothing happened; a 3-2 win over /n/ wasn't enough for /a/ to show up to the 2015 4chan Winter Cup. /a/ finished their first Babby in 18th place and are scheduled to appear in the 2015 4chan Spring Babby Cup, where fans pray that drunken magic and the return of Firo can save them from being trapped in the Babbies.

Rivalries

/sp/ - The /a/sp/ie Derby	By far the biggest rivalry of the 4chan Cup, /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. Despite placement in different groups, the rivalry continued in the 2014 Autumn Babby Cup over, which team would return to the upcoming Winter Cup. In an ironic twist of fate, /a/ found themselves in dire straights and ultimately failing to qualify for winter; while /sp/ was on the verge of returning, for only they too getting knocked out of qualification.
3-0-1

/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.
2-0-0

/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.
0-0-2

/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.
