stablished in 2013 in an event known as the Fifth Founding, /gd/FC is the official football club of 4chan's Graphic Design board. From the beginning, /gd/ wasn't afraid to go toe-to-toe with the giants of the Cup and has repeatedly proved that, despite being a small board, they're a force to be reckoned with.

Until this moment, /gd/ has been climbing the Rankings ladder after every major cup they participated in. Following their qualification from the 2014 Spring Babbies, /gd/ entered Summer in great shape and with stable management. Facing strong competition in their group, they ended up relegating a former Elite Champion in arguably the most thrilling match of the cup, securing their participation in the 2015 4chan Winter Cup.

While /gd/'s fanbase might not impress in numbers, it is a passionate one and the team's management enjoys support of its fans. /gd/ currently holds the 22nd position in the 4chan Cup Rankings.

Rivals

The Neo-Artbowl or The GOATslayer Derby Two teams with a lot in common. Both snooty artists who claim their form of creativity is superior. Both overachieving small teams with big aspirations for glory. And, of course, both have directly relegated 4chan Cup titans /sp/, something neither team was given a chance for by pundits at the time, hence the name The GOATslayer Derby. Although a match from this rivalry has yet to be played, the setup for it is supercharged, with both teams and their fans just waiting for the opportunity to go at each other's throats. With /ic/ likely out of the mix, the title of best artists in the 4chan Cup is now wedged between these two and it's there for the taking.

0-0-0

Renders vs Rasters Derby A less spite-filled derby in comparison to the other two, but still with a good charge to it. The battle of images versus models. 3D dicks versus vectors of dicks. A new take to 2D vs 3DPD. Against all odds, the only iteration of this derby was won 2-1 by /3/ in the 2014 4chan Spring Babby Cup, making /gd/ the first team to lose to them in over a year, a rather embarrassing statistic given the fact that it's fucking /3/, adding more spice to the mix of an otherwise friendly rivalry.

0-0-1

The Artbowl Is graphic design art? Are pencils and brush tools outdated? Are designers hipster neckbeards with no real job? Are artists stone-age poser wannabes who are only good at sketching their favorite thing in the world - dicks? The answer to those questions largely depended on what was one of the most charged rivalries among small boards in the 4chan Cup. At least until internal turmoil put /ic/'s participation in future cups in jeopardy. /gd/ so far has the only win in an official cup tie after an intense 1-0 in the 2014 4chan Spring Babby Cup and with /ic/'s future uncertain - it may as well be the only one.
