The 2012 4chan Summer Cup was the fourth official 4chan Cup tournament, and the second edition of the Summer Cup. It was hosted by /k/ as winners of the previous top-tier competition.
The tournament lasted from July 13–15, and from July 20–July 21, 2012. The tournament featured an unprecedented 24 teams, which were split into six groups of four, with the top two of each group advancing to a 12-team knockout stage. For the first time, the poorest-performing teams would be relegated to Babby Cup level.
This was the debut top-tier tournament appearance for /3/, /d/, /n/, /pol/, /sci/, /toy/, and reigning Spring Babby Cup champions /m/. /b/, /fa/, /g/, /o/, /tv/ and /v/ were relegated to Babby Cup level for the first time.
The tournament was hosted by Germanbro, who streamed matches via the Livestream page. This was the last Elite competition to use Pro Evolution Soccer 2012 as a platform.
The winner was /sp/, who defeated /int/ 4-0 in the final. /m/ emerged victorious over /toy/ to take third place. /int/'s Putin won the Golden Boot with an unmatched twelve goals.
Competitors
The following 24 teams, shown with pre-tournament rankings, participated in the tournament.
Draw
The draw for the final tournament took place on June 10 at 2:00PM EDT. GermanBro wore a suit borrowed from his father and Kinder eggs toy capsules to determine the drawing, despite claims of RIGGING, the groups are now set in the order below.
The 24 finalists were divided into four seeding pots, using the most recent and up-to-date rankings, published on the morning of June 10, 2012.
| Pot 1 | Pot 2 | Pot 3 | Pot 4 |
|---|---|---|---|
Group Stage
Matchday 1
Highlights of the first round of matches in the group stage included the 3-3 draw between /ck/ and /jp/ at the start of the Cup, /sp/'s comeback from 3-1 down to win 4-3 against /d/, and /mu/ equalising at the death against /k/ to draw 3-3. Takumi scored /o/'s first goal in a competitive fixture, but they eventually conceded later on to draw 1-1 with /b/. /m/ appeared to carry their imperious Babby Cup form through to the Summer Cup with a 5-2 hammering of /pol/. Overall, fifty goals were scored in the first twelve matches, with only one goalless draw coming, between /x/ and /fa/. The stream broke the 2,500 viewers barrier for the first time on the opening matchday, breaking the previous record of ~2,000 viewers during the previous Winter Cup.
Matchday 2
The big "/co//ck/ fight" was a fierce battle that ended in /ck/'s favor when Nachos single-handedly led his team to victory with a hattrick over /co/. Meanwhile, the autists sided with /jp/ over the disgusting 3D pigdogs of /tv/, all but officially knocking /tv/ out of the cup with a 2-0 win. Later, /m/ and /a/'s match had an odd twist where /a/'s manager showed up to the locker room very, very drunk before the start of the game, making some weird decisions in the placement and tactics of his players. Despite this /a/ somehow managed to overcome a pair of near-consecutive goals by Gundam RX-78-2 and Yamakan finally SAVED ANIME with his winning goal.
Coming off of their embarassing defeat yesterday, /pol/ dug into their secret stash of jewgold and bribed /g/ to miss everything. Stallman, /g/'s goalie, refused to be bought off, but Click Clack made up for it by "accidentally" knocking the ball into his own goal before halftime, eventually giving /pol/ the win. The Bicyclists of /n/ continued to surprise everyone by existing, and fought the fashionably young /fa/scists to a 3-3 draw. Meanwhile, /x/ continued to struggle as /fit/'s TinyTrip once again scored his team's only goal, except this time they actually won 1-0.
All 10 /sci/fags in the stadium cried out in pain as /k/ riddled them with a 3-round burst of goals in the first 18 minutes. /sci/'s Bill Nye reportedly shouted "FUCK IT" and scored a hat trick by himself, scaring /k/ at the end of /k/'s 4-3 win. Nye is hoping to get traded to a team that actually has a chance at winning something.
/mu/ expressed that it's "too cool for, like, wins and losses mannnnnnnnnn." /int/'s Putin bitchslapped Bob Dylan at the start of the game for that sentiment, but Dylan turned the other cheek and the lord Jesus Christ granted him a penalty kick which ultimately let /mu/ tie and kept them in cup contention. During a post-game interview, when asked why he made this avoidable mistake, Putin motioned to one of his FSB agents and that was the last we ever saw of the interviewer.
Coming off their incredible comeback against /d/, the /sp/artans played a more balanced match and took a 1-0 victory over /b/, who is still largely unaware that they even have a team. However a tripfag is reportedly in talks to appoint himself /b/'s manager. Meanwhile, /d/ got a realatively smooth 1-0 victory over /o/. Our correspondent tried to get an interview with /o/'s keeper, but after snapping his fingers to get the player's attention, the Honda Civic suddenly screamed in fear for a whole minute while clenching its metallic buttocks tightly.
/tg/ rolled its way to a 3-0 victory over the ironically-named /3/ as /3/ became the second team to be completely goal-less in this cup so far (/x/ being the first). On the other side of the group, /toy/'s Woody put up a couple of goals and his face nearly scared the /v/ defense into coughing up a couple more. However, Gaben took a break from swimming in his piles of money to tie the game 2-2 and keep /v/'s cup hopes alive.
Matchday 3
- This was the day where everything was rigged and no one was happy.
Some of the biggest shockers today came from Group A when /tv/ came out of fucking nowhere to a 4-1 victory against the heavily-favored /ck/. Despite losing 2-0 to /co/, /jp/s tiebreaker with /ck/ advanced them to the next round with /co/. /jp/'s coaching staff was too busy accusing GermanBro of money laundering to notice. GermanBro was unavailable for comment, as his "backup limousine" does not have its own internet connection.
Group B had its own issues when /a/'s defense crumpled under /pol/'s patented Blitzkrieg offense, losing 3-0 and knocking them out of cup contention. Accelerator responded in a post-game interview that it was the offense's fault for going drinking with Producer-san after the amazing victory against /m/ the day before, as star striker Gorespammer missed some very good chances. Gorespammer in turn accused the keeper of letting /pol/ score on him because Accelerator approved of /pol/'s genocidal tactics. Meanwhile, a crisis in /g/'s coaching staff led to some very panicked decisions against the forces of /m/, including the replacement of starting keeper Stallman and a poor attempt to mimic /pol/'s Blitzkrieg offense. These decisions only nailed /g/'s own coffin shut as /m/ and /pol/ advanced to the next round.
/x/'s match took a dark and mysterious turn when all the power in the stadium went out. When the stream came back up, the ball was mysteriously found in the back of /n/'s goal. Several fans and players claimed to have seen /x/ actually score the goal before play was halted, but no one believed them. After arguing about how to proceed, GermanBro ended up restarting the entire match. /x/ won the match 3-2 thanks to Lavender Town and Dead Bart trying to prove they could win without a rigged match. Our correspondent attempted to interview /x/'s manager after the game, but was later found curled up in a corner of the locker room, chewing on her fingernails, ripping out part of her hair and speaking in tongues in-between heavy sobs. The saved footage on livestream showed that Dead Bart had indeed scored a goal during the blackout, but only GermanBro was aware of it. The cause of the blackout is still unknown, but is widely attributed to the actions of the guest commentator for the match, known only as "/x/bro".
The /fa/ vs. /fit/ match ended in a scoreless tie. Someone got red-carded but ultimately no one cares because neither team advanced.
Before His People's match against /sci/, The Lord Jesus Christ of /mu/ released a statement saying, "these NERDS dare question My power? How about they SCIENCE themselves a goal first!" Even though /sci/ seemed destined to go down in flames, a couple of late goals by Thorium and Bill Nye dragged /mu/ with them. Elsewhere, /int/ steamrolled over /k/ as Putin scored another hat trick. Both /int/ and /k/ advanced to the next round.
The battle of /b/ vs. /d/ was an offensive battle as neither team appeared to have any defense and both sides had a hat trick from Chocolate Rain and Haigure, respectively. Even more surprising was the fact that someone appointed themselves as /b/'s manager and subbed out Milhouse, thus giving /b/ more energy overall to fight back. However, /d/ still won 5-3 and cemented their advancement. /sp/ had a more defensive match, as they scored early and then shut down all of /o/'s attempts to equalize, keeping their top spot in the group.
Group F brought forth another big upset as /3/ got tired of /v/idya games not appreciating their graphics. /3/'s keeper The Industry stopped several volleys of original ideas from getting through its solid filter, and his brother Industry Standards scored first. Gaben managed to overcome his fear of 3's long enough to equalize, but 3DS Max crashed /v/ and scored the winning goal, officially knocking /v/ into the Babbys and cementing /tg/ and /toy/'s advancement regardless of who won their match. Even so, /toy/ won a hard-fought battle against their hated /tg/ rivals when Madoka Titus scored the winning goal at the very end of the match.

Drawing Controversy
Exhibition Matches
As the crowd filtered into the stadium, they were shocked to learn that the 4CCC had abruptly changed the schedule without telling them. However, they were pleased to find out that the pre-game ceremonies were a pair of friendly matches between a handful of new teams: /u/ vs /trv/ and /h/ vs /hm/. /trv/ treated their preview like a summer holiday as Sex Tourist scored a couple of goals in their 3-0 victory, while the /h/ and /hm/ contest was overflowing with so much testosterone that at the end of 90 minutes, the game went into extra time and then penalty kicks until /hm/ came out on top. This was the first friendly style match to have overtime and penalties since the 2012 4chan Winter Cup Friendlies.
