| /soc/ |  | |
| Ranking: 27th Manager: Sexcopter !!DmLjci16Djv | ||
| /soc/ endured a difficult birth. After struggling to drop the stigma of being a breakaway board from the larger /b/, even the legitimacy of boards existence was in question. While one of the Original Sixtee competitors in the 4chan Cup, the board was for some time one of the weakest sides. Miserable 2011 Summer and 2012 Spring campaigns did nothing to raise appeal, but they have been dragged to success under manager Sexcopter !!DmLjci16Djv's guidance. The recent Autumn Babby Cup campaign was by far their most successful yet with vital goals from gold striker Feet. /soc/ are fast earning a reputation for being part of high-scoring games after eight and ten-goal thrillers against /gif/ and /vg/. If /soc/ can plug the gaps at the back then expect a formidable dark horse in the Winter Cup. | ||

| /vg/ |  | |
| Ranking: 27th Manager: CancerousAnonymous !!aW26533QJ29 | ||
| A relative newcomer to the 4chan Cup scene, /vg/ is an offshoot of older brother /v/ and the home of dead hours general and gaming discussion. Featuring a diverse array of talent (does your team have a double amputee playing center midfield?) /vg/ spent their early days under the guidance of Trofflesby !!fPFxZBomxK6 who led the team to wins against /b/ and /tg/. The incumbent CancerousAnonymous !!aW26533QJ29 took charge in late June and continued /vg/'s promising form with another two wins against /h/ and /s/, sending the team into the Autumn Babby Cup with four wins out of six matches. /vg/ had to prove their worth in the Babby Cup and stake their claim for a shot at the big time. The gold/silver duo of DesWOW and New Thread were integral to their advancement, scoring all but one of their fourteen goals in the tournament. Fourth place was more than enough to see them on their way to the Winter Cup, with an eyebrow-raising 6-4 quarter final victory against /soc/ being the highlight of their campaign. Victory in the unofficial Trip Cup cemented their credentials as an able team with much to look forward to come February. | ||

| /tv/ |  | |
| Ranking: 5th Manager: Director nclpOLpceA | ||
| As one of the Original Sixteen, /tv/ are a member of the old guard of the 4chan Cup. The team took some time in getting into gear with a pair of unceremonious exits from the inaugural Summer and Winter Cups. /tv/ languished in 24th place in the rankings prior to last year's Summer Cup, though he outcome of their campaign was perhaps unfair as they managed a memorable win against /ck/ but were still relegated to Babby Cup level with three points. Long-serving manager Director nclpOLpceA was able to turn things around with a formidable nine-match unbeaten run from July to the Autumn Babby Cup quarter finals, finishing in third place overall. The partnership of Poor Lil' White Guy and Real Human Being became one of the most renowned strike partnerships across the boards, with the duo regularly scoring as a pair and putting defences to shame. With their great run of form, /tv/ secured a Pot 1 berth for the 2013 Winter Cup by a comfortable margin and will have to prove their worth against /wg/, /trv/ and /y/ in the group stage. | ||

| /m/ |  | |
| Ranking: 2nd Manager: GoldTiger !!IdTmTK73Akq | ||
| While late to the party, /m/ wasted no time in taking the 4chan Cup by storm and becoming one of its most reckoned teams. Mecha is a name now synonymous with goals - and lots of them. They are one of the highest-scoring sides, made all the more impressive by a late start. Only rivals /sp/ are ahead on goals scored in official tournaments. The quadrumvirate of attacking medal players sum up /m/'s style. The objective is to get the ball to gold striker Gundam, but this team is a special case. In Alteisen they have one of the Cup's greatest silver players and he isn't goal-shy, scoring seven goals on the run to winning the 2012 Spring Babby Cup. It was all looking rosy for the fledgling side, but a certain unmanaged board dashed hopes of a consecutive cup in the Summer. A thrashing of /toy/ to take third place again cemented credentials, but credentials couldn't set up the date with destiny versus /sp/ in the final. Based on past form one would have to say /m/ are favourites to advance to the knockout stage of the Winter Cup, but /a/ have already humbled them once before and the group's other two sides are very much unknown quantities. It's up to manager GoldTiger !!IdTmTK73Akq to navigate Group Hell and set a course for success once again. | ||

| /po/ |  | |
| Ranking: 41st Manager: Crafty/po/ster !!LbVTjNXXan6 | ||
| With no significant prior experience in any event, /po/ were an unwitting beneficiary of /adv/'s disqualification in the 2012 Spring Babby Cup. A play-off versus /an/ would decide which would advance to compete in the tournament proper to make up the numbers. Unfortunately for /po/, they were the recipients of a true baptism of fire, conceding the then-fastest goal in 4chan Cup history - a gift sent direct from the boot of Spacebat. They lost the two-legged match 6-3 on aggregate and played no further part in the competition. Their first taste of friendly action was barely any more enjoyable an experience as they were hammered 4-0 by /diy/. Autumn saw much-improved performances from the side and was also the staging ground for their first ever victory in an official match. Sadly the match has come to be remembered for all the wrong reasons. Star players for /po/ include the razor sharp X-Acto and the gracefully gliding Paper Plane, their top scorer to date. /po/ is one of the slowest boards on 4chan, and support is on the thin side, when present at all. The worthiness of the team as an official competitor has even been brought into question. Nonetheless, this is a team with has a respectable record, new management, and visions of breaking the glass Babby ceiling come Spring. | ||

| /ic/ |  | |
| Ranking: 40th Manager: Dan | ||
| /ic/ were founded in the early Spring of 2012, too late to compete at the inaugural Babby Cup. As such they would not compete at a tournament until the Autumn. On the plus side this meant plenty of practice, and /ic/ developed a respectable record in friendlies in that time. They defeated the likes of /f/, /diy/, /vp/ and /hr/ while pushing /a/ and Summer Cup finalists /int/ very close. It was in this time that /ic/ formed a reputation for always winning by a single goal; whether in friendlies or tests, the same scorelines kept manifesting themselves. Unfortunately Autumn was by no means a close-run affair, and the side suffered 4-0 and 6-0 hammerings at the hands of /v/ and /g/ respectively. The latter of the two was put down to /ic/'s defensive line being severely hampered by poor conditioning. They would not go winless however, managing to beat eventual promotees /h/ by nothing other than the familiar single goal margin. Gold player Main Dude is the side's top scorer, netting seven in seven in friendly matches. Other medal players include the talismanic Loomis, Baseball, and outspoken midfielder Your Art Is Shit. The 2013 Spring Babby Cup is /ic/'s next major competition, but not before their preparation friendlies versus /co/ and /tg/, both of which should provide a stern test. | ||

| /ck/ |  | |
| Ranking: 17th Manager: Tunamerchant !!+U8b1gCk0rk | ||
| One of the cup's Original Sixteen, /ck/'s long history is one of steady decline. They stormed out of the blocks in the 2011 Summer Cup and made it as far as the finals, only to come second to winners /a/. They fared well once again in the 2012 Winter Cup but were knocked out of the losers bracket final by /sp/. Nachos quickly laid claim to being one of the 4chan Cup's star players, scoring the many of his team's goals in those early days. Following an uninspiring couple of friendly seasons, /ck/'s next tournament outing was much less successful. The side failed to advance beyond the group stage and narrowly escaped relegation to the Babby Cup. One positive to draw from the Summer season was the establishment of Masaokis and Pink Himalayan Salt as regular goalscorers. Tunamerchant !!+U8b1gCk0rk arrived on the scene towards the end of 2012 and made a number of squad changes, namely dropping bronze player Fridge Ketchup for Perfect Coffee. By the team's own high standards of the past, the 2013 Winter Cup was a miserable performance with a series of heavy losses, topped off by a crushing 7-2 defeat at the hands of /hm/. The Spring has brought further, extensive squad overhaul and things may be looking up after two strong performances against /vg/ and /v/ in recent friendlies. Momentum will be the key for a team looking to rebuild and rediscover past success. Their first challenge is to return to the top tier this Spring. | ||

| /mlp/ |  | |
| Ranking: 27th Manager: NBD !WLix8e5EX6, Testerbro !3SfloA2uBI | ||
| /mlp/ were left flat on the ground after failing to advance from the vicious Group H in the Winter Cup, but made the unlikeliest of bounce-backs to vault themselves to the top of the Babbies in Spring. The tournament saw /mlp/ sporting a curiously phallic default formation, but it paid dividends with relentless, penetrative attacks through the middle. >rape may have been in inconsistent form but still scored vital goals through the knockout stage. Other medal players Best Pony, Alicorn Twilight and Tracy all did their part, and as a collective unit the quartet scored 16 goals. The excellent goalkeeping performances of The Burdened and Derpy Hooves kept /mlp/ in the hunt when opponents exerted their own pressure. What the side enjoyed in fortuity also had to be faced in equal measure in adversity. While /tv/ may have been a relative breeze, the well-fancied /d/ had to be navigated early on, along with /x/, with only ten men for the majority of the match. The memory of Spring will live on, fondly remembered by some and returning as traumatic flashbacks for others. However, the real work now begins in earnest. /mlp/ have returned to the elite and will face a much greater challenge in Summer. Do you believe in magic? | ||

| /c/ |  | |
| Ranking: 33rd Manager: Interim-tan !!wpQ05LyJC9u , Simmie !FNmd1hrllU!!3BZPtLXChOs | ||
| A relatively new team which premiered in the 2012 Autumn Babby Cup, ‘’’/c/’’’ is a team whose history has been defined by much struggle and heartbreak. They debuted with a mediocre showing in the Autumn Friendlies, clinching two draws and a loss. Hindsight shows they would then serve as one of the most victimized teams of the Dragongate scandal, facing off in Group G against /an/, /cm/, and /y/, teams all controlled by Dragonfag personas; /c/ never had a chance. Now at their lowest point (and rank,) new blood and new hope arrived in the form of Interim-tan, who took the managerial reins and earned the team's first victory against /r9k/ in the 2013 Spring Friendlies. The momentum continued in the Spring Babby Cup with a decisive 4-1 victory over /b/, but Group G proved to be one of the most dramatic groups in the cup, with an impressive performance from /fa/, two unexpected wins from an unmanged /b/, and an equally unexpected poor showing from /co/. In the end, /c/ was once again left in the dust. After the reveal of the Dragongate scandal, karma would pay /c/ back with a good turn of fortune. With all former Dragonfag teams disqualified from the 2013 Summer Cup, /c/ was moved up in the ranks and given a new chance at life in the Summer Cup. The shackles of Dragonfag have been lifted and /c/, like so many teams, are now free with their destiny finally in their own hands. Will /c/ rise from the ashes and play their way to greatness? Time will tell. | ||

| /b/ |  | |
| Ranking: 24th Manager: Cosa Nostra !!Kxz8F2s8bxQ | ||
| Whether you love them or hate them, you can't have 4chan without /b/, and the same holds true for the 4chan Cup. While most teams play in the hopes for glory, fame, respect, or the simple thrill of victory, /b/ merely plays for the lulz. They may win and they may lose, but the only thing that's certain is at the end of the day some other team's shit will get trolled once /b/ walks on the field. They are one of the Original Sixteen teams, though early on shown poor to mediocre performances which have left them stuck in the Babby Cups, but not without doing some trolling along the way. /b/ has been able to upset traditionally powerhouse teams such as /a/, /sp/, and /v/, demonstrating that playing against /b/ doesn't automatically mean an easy win. Manager Cosa Nostra would go on an extended hiatus after the 2012 Autumn Cup, and in the meanwhile /b/ more than any other team would prove the mantra of the Spring Babby Cup that 2013 was dead teams' year. The then-managerless /b/ would put their trolling into overdrive in Group G, winning two out of three of the group stage games, surviving relegation, and crushing the dreams of /co/ and /c/ in the process. Cosa Nostra returned at this point, only to be halted in the first knockout game against /soc/. Now for the first time in a year, /b/ finds themselves back in a major cup this Summer. Will /b/ finally avoid relegation? And even if not, what other teams' hopes shall be destroyed in their wake? | ||

| /wg/ |  | |
| Ranking: 1st Managers: Tom !Cp4RoxaNNs!!M9Lj4qN1xpl, StoneyDucky !!DYDlR77coGn | ||
| The Summer of 2012 saw the birth of a scrappy team known as /wg/. The following Autumn saw the birth of a dynasty. The team handily claimed the Autumn Babby Cup and then set their sights straight for the Winter Cup. Though that prize escaped them, and it would seem /wg/ vowed revenge for Summer 2013. With hopes as high as their expectations, they began their cup run by topping Group C with /soc/ presenting the most viable threat with a 3-3 draw. Careful, meticulous managing would be /wg/'s penultimate asset as one by one they toppled their opponents on the road to the cup. Their greatest weapon, however, came in the form of AMF Headphone Girl and star CF Cunt Destroyer. This duo cut through defenses like a scalpel, scoring 14 goals throughout the cup between the two of them. Honorable mentions also go to Spacecat, Descartes, and finally goalkeeper Dolla Dolla Bill Yall who saved /wg/ from /mu/'s vicious assault, including the final /mu/ score attempt in overtime, preventing the championship game from going into penalty kicks. Congratulations are in order to /wg/ for being the first team to win both a babby and major cup, but their story is far from over. There are over 50 other teams in the 4chan Cup looking to replace them at the top. Is /wg/ up to the challenge of defending their title? Good luck, and never be afraid to drop it. | ||

| You know that feel when you're runners-up for a Babby Cup and then have the worst losing streak in Cup history? You don't, for only /r9k/ knows that feel. This team was born for the 2012 Spring Babby Cup and at the time, atop of not having a gf, also had no manager. Despite this handicap, they were still able to defeat /mlp/ and >>autumn /s/ during the cup proper. Tr4pD00r would take over the team for the Autumn Babby Cup. Through circumstances which were as questionable as they were fortunate, /r9k/ dominated Group H, and continued in the knockout rounds by slapping down /cm/, /adv/ (in penalty kicks), and finally /tv/. /wg/ defeated them to claim the cup, and thus would begin a long, dark time for /r9k/. Through Winter and the following Spring the team would go through failed managers or be managerless and lose game upon game until the streak counted to 10 losses. It became so bad that in Spring a passionate Saudi /r9k/ fan offered to pay real-life cash for someone to take the reins. Though Commissioner Gracen Ivorinne said no to the plea, Arab Money remains a joke tied to the team to this day. After a Summer hiatus, manager duo Ronery Robot & El Nigrito have started running the team, and with them perhaps comes a light at the end of /r9k/'s tunnel. The losing streak finally ended with a 1-0 win against /g/ in the Autumn Friendlies. We shall see if there's more success in the team's future, but let /r9k/ stand as a lesson that there's always hope, even for the loneliest amongst us. | |||||

| Do you feel you have insufficient amounts of dakka? Do you have aspirations of dying alone with your axe in a deep mine? Are you in need of cheap, refurbished camels and don't care about the mental state of their vendor? Then perhaps /tg/ is the team you should root for! This team is a solid fan-favorite since its founding in the 2012 4chan Winter Cup. While /tg/ has never claimed a cup of their own, their record still proves them to be a threatening force. They have secured their way into the knockout rounds in the 2012 Winter Cup, the following Summer Cup, and the 2013 Winter cup as well, securing themselves at the time “neuvo elite” status. Hopes were high for /tg/ for the next summer after claiming first in the unofficial Tottoric Up, but then a turn of events happened which seemed as unthinkable as they were heartbreaking; /tg/ underperformed in the group stages, walking away with two draws and a loss. The two meager points meant they were finally booted them off from their elite throne, as well as into the Autumn Babbies. The stakes are higher than ever for all teams in the 2013 Autumn Cup, where there's potential to not only remain in the Babbies, but also be set back further into the Spring qualifier rounds. Will /tg/ find redemption this season, or was Summer a herald of darker times for the team? All we know for sure is /tg/ will bring their best dice and fight their hardest, strengthened by the power of WAAAAAAAGH! | |||||

| The story of /toy/ more than most teams is a reflection of its manager. Tinker/toy/ founded /toy/ as a part of the Founding Babbies in Spring of 2012. Success came early, as /toy/ earned its place among the top 8 of the first Spring Babby Cup. The wins kept coming the following Summer Cup and /toy/ won a respectable 4th place spot, earning what would become nuevo elite status. As /toy/'s success grew, so did the popularity and prestige of Tinker/toy/. He was among the best of beloved active members of the 4chan Cup community, and the well wishes of scores of fans followed /toy/ to the 2013 Winter Cup. Like a runaway train, /toy/ plowed its way through to the championship match, only to be halted by /sp/ in what is agreed to be the best final match in cup history. The loss stung, but hopes were high for the next summer; Little did everyone know is that the cup's golden boy was beginning to tarnish. /toy/'s performance in the Group Stage of the next Summer Cup was suspiciously sub-par. Rumors began to circulate of trouble in Tinker/toy/'s private life. By the time of the third match against /c/ his intentions were clear, obviously sabotaging the team and dooming /toy/ to relegation just as he too disappeared, never to be seen again. /toy/ was broken, and hope was lost, but only for a short while. DawgamusPrime rushed in to salvage /toy/ in time for the Autumn Babby Cup. To make a long story short, he too has the midis touch which Tinker/toy/ once possessed, guiding /toy/ to claim its first Cup win ever, albeit not a major cup, but still a promising new start. /toy/ will triumphantly return this Winter, and with heads held high anew they will try to claim the major championship win which has eluded them for so long. | |||||

| Rev up those engines, because we're hungry for some goals! /o/ made it off the assembly line in time for the 2012 Winter Cup. While it saw little success, winning a tense game against /tv/ in penalty kicks earned the team a loyal following early on. A new manager known as Aut/o/ got behind the team's wheel for the following Summer cup. Aut/o/'s track record was mixed, including relegation from Summer, promotion from the Autumn Babby Cup, relegation once again from the 2013 Winter Cup, and finally a dominating 9-point performance in the 2013 Spring Babby Cup. This all earned /o/ the status as a yo-yo team. Throughout all this /o/ also had an electrifying goalhorn and quote possibly the most beloved anthem of the Cup, bringing in more fans and any team success made fans claim that it would finally be /o/'s year to win the championship. Unfortunately, Dragongate outed Aut/o/ as one of the many personas of Dragonfag. As a consquence, /o/ was instantly demoted to the 2013 Autumn Babby Qualifiers, and a year's worth of wins were rendered null & void. While /o/ got new, legitimate management, the bad news continued as /o/ failed to qualify for the Autumn Babby, and shall remain in the basement for another six months. But fret not, for every team in the 4chan Cup always gets another chance. We now enter a new year, and 2014 could very well, finally, be /o/'s year. | |||||

| It's like the goals are scoring on their own! /h/ has struggled long and hard to gain every inch of ground and bit of success it has earned. Things looked promising in their first cup in Autumn 2012 where they survived up to the Ro16, but that would mark a dark time where /h/ then only saw one win in a stretch of 10 games. Relegated from Winter 2013, and once again the following Spring, things looked bleak indeed. In the fallout of Dragongate /h/ were granted a spot in the 2013 Summer Cup. Manager Bittenfeld demonstrated drunken mastery to avoid relegation with five points, only to once again lose in the Ro16 to towering /mu/. With the coming of 2014 /h/ now suddenly look to be among the strongest of teams in the cup, winning the unofficial Weeabowl II (albeit under slightly rigged conditions) and walking away from the Winter friendlies season with two clean sheets. /h/ will now enter the 2014 Winter Cup as a favorite to win it all. Will /h/ live up to expectations, or will one of the other thirty-one teams cause an upset? The fun is in watching to find out, so GET HYPE! | |||||

| /trv/ is proof that while a reputation may precede you, if doesn't have to define you. Founding-and-current manager MauledByTheTigers earned a reputation early on as one more interested in making kits than managing, reinforced by the fact that he reportedly didn't have a copy of PES. Despite this /trv/ would earn another reputation as lucky after advancing from the 2012 Autumn Babby Cup, though that luck would not hold in Winter. In the following Spring Babby /trv/ made two astounding comebacks against /hr/ and then /ic/ earning them a new reputation as comeback kings, one which still remains to this day. From that point on the improvement in /trv/'s game was steady and noticeable. Sex Tourist, Superpornowat Farangbang, and Couchsurfer Rapist joined the ranks of the Cup's memorable strikers as /trv/ secured a quarter-final finish in Summer 2013. Now /trv/ swept past the 2014 Winter Cup with one draw and six wins and has earned itself the most prestigious of reputations: they are now the best. In the future it will be their job to try and defend their new title, but for now, /trv/ has earned a restful and relaxing vacation. See you next Summer. | |||||

| Being one of the Original Sixteen, /adv/ has been a quiet yet reliable team for the entirety of the 4chan Cup. By now names like 5inchdick and S/adv/irgin are recognized by nearly all Cup spectators because of their long road traveled. They were slow to find their footing early on, ranking 8th in the inaugural 2012 Summer Cup and failing to qualify for the first Spring Babby. Things changed by Autumn 2012 with progression to the Round of 16, and improved further in the 2013 Winter Cup. It was there that /adv/ were grouped in the famous Group Hell. After hard-fought but bitter losses to /a/ and /mlp/, /adv/ were considered dead-on-arrival in their third game against /m/. What happened next, to many, was the most celebrated upset not only in team history, but in all of 4chan Cup history. /adv/ humiliated /m/ with a 6-1 blowout, confounding absolutely everyone present, relegating /m/ and /mlp/, and themselves surviving all the way to the Quarter Finals. Since then, /adv/ has been a quintessential yo-yo team, being relegated and then promoted from every cup thereafter. This Spring /adv/ is pitted against a slew of classic foes in Group E, and as it stands currently the only ones they'll help is themselves to another shot at an Elite cup. | |||||

/pol/ marched into the 4chan Cup in Spring 2012 as part of the Founding Babbies with a clear mission to rid the Cup of degeneracy and restore honor and glory to the world of virtual divegrass. The Reich would demonstrate their wrath early on against /mlp/ with a 4-2 win against horsefucker scum. Success would continue for /pol/ as they reached the knockout rounds for the both the Spring Babby Cup, and the following summer. Then in Winter 2013 /pol/ demonstrated that while its right hand is always closed in vengeance, its left is open with compassion, where the glorious leaders of /pol/ allowed /sp/ to beat them in the Quarter Finals just so /pol/ could remove /cm/'s degeneracy in the 3rd place match. But much like the Blitzkrieg, /pol/ would be quick out the gate but fade in the stretch in Summer 2013 when Jew saboteurs systematically clubbed the kneecaps of /pol/'s starting line, as well as paid off the refs, so /pol/ saw its first relegation into the Babbies. Our saviors once again played for 3rd place in Autumn against /hr/, known publicists and supporters of the Führer, and allowed them to take the 3rd place title in a grade gesture of solidarity with their allies in the media. Victory was assured the next winter until Grand Leader Rowan [THIS SECTION IS REDACTED]. Now this Spring, /pol/ had no room for compassion in their battle-plan. They heeded no advice, burned all the books, shredded their paper trail, and ousted lewdness all by themselves, and looked damn good while doing it. Congratulations /pol/. First the Babby Cup, then Summer, and then... The World.
