A former championship team that fell into dark times, /k/ is a rebounding team that will be playing next in the 2016 4chan Winter Cup.
History
Early 4chan Cups
After misfiring in the 2011 Summer Cup, /k/ returned locked and loaded for the 2012 Winter Cup. Following a string of dominating results in the winter friendlies orchestrated by AK-47 and co, including three results that caused a famous crisis in the /sp/ camp, /k/ seemed armed and dangerous going into the tournament. Despite an initial scare with a penalty kick victory over /mu/, they settled into the tournament quickly and set their sights on the cup. A spectacular 4-2 victory over pre-tournament favorites /tg/ saw /k/ truly set themselves apart from the crowd, and on their path to glory. Eventually, /k/ overcame a powerful /sp/ side in the final and became Winter Cup Champions.
2012 4chan Summer Cup
Though /k/'s early history saw them become 4chan cup champions, a new format was approaching in the 2012 4chan Summer Cup. There were numerous players from the Winter Cup roster that were replaced. Fans wondered many things as the Summer Cup was approaching. Have these tactical and personnel changes turned /k/ into something unrecognizable? Will it disrupt the winning mentality that gained old /k/ so much success? How will the new players cope with the pressure of being the number 1 seed? With two draws and a loss in the friendlies prior to the Summer Cup, /k/'s fate looked grim.
As /k/'s cup campaign began, there was some hope for glory as they were winning 3-1 against /mu/ by the 71st minute of the match. These hopes were quickly dashed as /mu/ came back with two goals in the last 3 minutes of the match, leaving both teams with one point after a 3-3 draw. /sci/ was hoping to keep themselves alive in the cup after a 5-0 loss to /int/, but /k/ shot them down in a hard fought match were /k/ won 4-3. This win proved to be vital, since it was the only win /k/ ended up needing to advance to the next round. /int/'s rampage continued with /k/ doing little to try and stop them in a 5-1 loss for the defending champions. /x/ would be the next opponent, and as much as they succeeded in scaring /k/ with a 2-1 lead at half time, /k/ came back in the second half like champions, winning the match 3-2.
After the last tournament's upset victory in the final, many fans were hoping for a repeat after /sp/ was accused of another match fixing scandal. /k/ sadly couldn't deliver the same performance as last time and lost 2-0 to /sp/.
2013 4chan Winter Cup
Without a single win in the friendlies that followed the 2012 4chan Summer Cup, /k/ was drawn in a relatively easy group. Things started disastrously with a then record 7-1 defeat to /mu/. After conceding four to an /n/ side crippled with poor conditioning, the group minnow /o/ added insult to injury with a 4-1 defeat that had to be replayed after a crash in the game. /k/ came 31st of 32nd with a -11 goal difference.
2013 4chan Spring Babby Cup
As time continued to go by, /k/ simply could not get any wins. With management abandoning the team, /k/'s fans had no choice but to hope for the best in the Babby Cup group stage. The little reputation that remained for /k/ was crushed after a dull 2-0 loss to /h/. Though the scoreline for the next match suggests that /k/ at least tried their best, the match itself had little signs of change in /k/'s fortunes. /soc/ won 3-2 with one of /k/'s goals coming from yet another >ProActive AI moment. /k/'s former manager, Diplo, returned to the team in time for the last group stage match against /s/ where /k/ once again delivered a bad performance in a 3-0 loss.
2013 4chan Autumn Babby Cup
In the 2013 4chan Summer Cup Friendlies, /k/ got their first official win of the year, and then drew against /wsg/ just before the actual cup. This decent form came in part due to new management, but once the cup came around, the manager abandoned the team for reasons that are unknown to this day. The team performed poorly once again, leaving the Autumn Babby Cup group stage with zero points, a result that sent /k/ down to the 2014 4chan Spring Babby Cup Qualifiers.
2014 4chan Spring Babby Cup
A while before the cup started, the qualifying round that /k/ would have had to play was cancelled.
However, the new babby cup format seemed to throw a recently revived team to the wolves as /k/ was drawn with /co/ and /adv/, two teams which were only recently relegated, /pol/, who was also a favorite to top the group, and the minnows of /lit/. Once the cup began, it looked to be another disastrous run as /lit/ got an upset 2-0 victory over the /k/ommandos. Despite the poor display in the first match, /k/ shocked the viewers in the next bout with a strong 3-1 victory over /pol/. Said match saw the discovery of a PES 2014 glitch with marking a corner kick taker. /adv/ got a draw against /k/ with possibly one of the most hilarious goalkeeping blunders in 4chan cup history, courtesy of Castle Doctrine. In spite of /k/'s constant attacks, Captain Hindsight kept the ball from going in again after Zergface's early goal.
In the final group E showdown, it was time to do or die against /co/, and /k/ was triumphant. This 2-0 win sent /k/ back to a main cup for the first time since the 2013 Winter Cup. In the Spring Babby Cup round of 16, another major blunder from Castle Doctrine combined with a Cawadooty red card ended /k/'s run in a 2-0 loss to /diy/.
2014 4chan Summer Cup
With two wins in the friendlies just before the cup, /k/ looked to keep up the good form in their return a top tier cup. Unfortunately, this level of competition got /k/ off to a very slow start. In their first Summer Cup match in two years, /k/ once again lost to /mu/ with Talentless Hack scoring the only goal in a 1-0 defeat. The offense did not improve in the next match as /k/ drew 0-0 against /ic/. Surprisingly, some fortunate events happened in the last fixture that gave /k/ a chance to remain in the major cups.
In the final Group B fixture, /ic/ lost 1-0 to /mu/, meaning that /k/ had to win by at least 3 goals to take second place in the group. More realistically, /k/ could at least hope for a 2-0 win against /wg/ that forced a tiebreaking playoff against /ic/, and that's exactly what happened. The 2013 Summer Cup champions of /wg/ had been on a slump since those days and /k/ showed no mercy: Deagle Brand Deagle and NEVAHBINDUNBEFO ended /wg/'s elite era with a massive 2-0 victory for /k/. Sadly, /k/ could not perform like that against /ic/ in the playoff that ended the matchday. Though Stoppan Powar played his heart out for the team, /k/ was sent back to the babbies with a 2-0 loss.
2014 4chan Autumn Babby Cup
/k/ signed up for the Autumn Babby Cup, hoping to quickly rebound from their relegation. Going into their first match with /3/, they had high expectations, but an own goal by DMF /ak/ nearly cost them the game, forcing them to settle for a draw. The next match against new founding side /t/ saw /k/ surprised by halftime pira/t/e comeback, handing another disappointing result. /k/ would be able to hold a surging /b/ side to a 0-0 thriller on an impressive performance from goal keeper Stoppan Powar (earning his record 7th clean sheet), but it left /k/ with only 2 points in the group before their last game. /b/ and /3/'s wins in their third matches statistically eliminated both /d/ and /k/ before the final group match. The final group match was nothing but a slaughter, has a porous /k/ defense allowed in /d/eviant thrusts in every hole. The defeat tied /k/'s worst and earned /d/ their first victory in 463 days and their largest ever. /k/ finished the group in last position and unable to participate in Winter.
2015 4chan Spring Babby Cup
Looking to rebound from their Autumn thrashing, /k/ was drawn into Group F for the late breaking Spring Cup into the company of /n/, /vg/, /hm/, and autumn nemesis /d/. Though bringing in a revitalized team, dotted with new faces and returning players, /k/ seemed one of the outliers, expected by most to come short of advancing in the competition. /k/ wasted no time, however, and shot out the gate with a 5' goal against /vg/ in their opening match. The Generals would equalize at 85' however, managing to save a point, but missing out on a game many expected them to win. The /k/ommandos suffered a slight scare against /hm/: first, /k/ took a 2-0 lead and then fell to the meme of the most dangerous lead. Fortunately, the /k/ommandos fought back and got a 4-2 win in the end. The third match was a chance for revenge against /d/, and while the match was much more tense and close than the previous one, /d/ won again. This loss combined with other results put /k/ in a situation where they had to defeat /n/ by 3 in order to advance to the Summer Cup. Though /k/ managed to get a win against /n/, this 2-1 win felt like a loss since it kept /n/ in second place, and /k/ in third.
2015 4chan Autumn Babby Cup
After the heartbreaking end of the previous tournament, /k/ knew they had to be more consistent with their perfomances, and looked to do this in Group D. Said group happened to have /d/ in it, as well as the recently relegated /e/, a team that can be described as "just another weeb team" in /w/, and the once great /v/. To start off the group stage, the /k/omrades got sweet revenge on /d/, beating them 3-1 with an Ivan Chesnokov hat trick. /e/ spoiled the good times for /k/ with a last minute goal in a 2-1 loss for the /k/ommandos, and the next match ended up getting caught in controversy.
For whatever reason, Old Man Sou, the host of the group stage for this cup, was having problems with his computer and the match between /w/ and /k/ had to be stopped with /w/ being up 1-0. It took ages for the match to resume, and once it did, the match was started from the beginning to simulate a replay of the second half. /k/ made their comeback here to win 2-1, leaving /k/ fans happy, and other viewers feeling like /k/ only won because PES stopped working during the match. With one match remaining, /k/ had to win against /v/ to prove that they truly deserved to be in the 2016 Winter Cup, and to be safely promoted. Unfortunately, /v/ was actually playing well for once this season and forced /k/ to be stuck with 7 points - the same amount of points that kept the team in the Babbies last season.
Luckily, 7 points proved to be enough for /k/ this time around. Though /d/ got a strong win over /v/, /w/ helped /k/ qualify to the 2016 Winter Cup by getting /e/ stuck with a 2-2 draw. This combination of results got /k/ second place in the group, and got them in a Winter Cup for the first time since the 2013 Winter Cup.

Rivalries
/k/omandos vs /sp/artans
A rivalry that was first truly realized in the finals of the 2012 Winter Cup. /k/ The People's Team, a group of men from all walks of life. Prior to the finals, /k/ had defeated /sp/ in winners bracket play and three additional times in friendlies. /sp/ finally won a 3-0 shut out in the first leg of the finals but /k/ came back to knock off /sp/ 2-1. /k/'s Heroic run in the finals saw them defeat a team with some of 4chan's most elite players including George Costanza, Messi, and Da Burrs. In the process, /sp/ was once again prevented from winning the cup, and /k/ earned their eternal hate.
