Since the dawn of time, anons from far and wide have come to /sci/ to post their IQ and take autism tests. The best and brightest of these pseuds have come together and put forth 23 of their finest memes and beloved scientists to represent them in the 4chan Cup. Now, over 10 years after the team's founding, the /sci/entists are looking to put their Ph.D's to use and sperg their way into the history books. So put down that CS book and get ready to do some actual science, brainlet.

Cup & Match History
Main Article: /sci/ History
The 2023 Winter Cup
The New Year for /sci/ began with being draw into Group C along with /k/, an autopilot /mu/ and one of its while white whale's /gd/. The first match against /k/ would set the tone for the rest of /sci/'s run with Shinichi Michizuki and Norman Wildeberger running up two goals at the 16th and 36th minutes as /k/ struggled to attack, only scoring during injury time before the half after some tactical changes. The game ended with a 2-1 victory for /sci/ after a relatively uneventful second half where /sci/ was still comfortably controlling the game but unable to convert again. The scoreline would repeat in /sci/'s second group stage game against /mu/, despite conceding a goal to a penalty kick Shinichi Mochizuki and Norman Wildberger would again both score to put /sci/ up 2-1 using a similar style of wide playstyle that had been used effectively used against /k/. While /sci/ sat on a solid 6 points after 2 wins, they were not yet safe going into grip weekend as /gd/ and /mu/ both sat on 3 points and thus a /sci/ loss to /gd/ and a win by /mu/ against /k/ could relegate /sci/ in a 6-6-0 group. Fortunately such a scenario never occurred, the game against /gd/ began with Shinichi Mochizuki scoring at the 8th minute, Glitch Art would respond on a through ball veling the game, then Richard Feynman scored at the 38th minute to put /sci/ ahead again only for Kerning to score leave the game at 2-2 by the end of the first half. Tactical changes were made to shore up /sci/'s defense, a draw would be sufficient to keep /sci/ elite, but unexpected spaghetti in /gd/'s goalbox allowed former goalkeeper and silver medal outfielder Stephen Hawking to score. Regardless of the close attempts by /gd/ to equalize the game once again in the last 10 minute of the match, /sci/ would triumph over one of it's white whales and advance to the knockouts on 9 points.
Finishing at the top of its group, /sci/ was seeded in the upper half of the bracket and would face /xs/ in the Round of 16. An initial goal at 9 minutes by Feynman put /sci/ on the board, and all appeared well in the first half with /sci/ firmly in control of the match even with the plethora of saves made by the /xs/ keeper, Hakuho. However, momentum would kick in for /xs/ in the second half and with the wind to their backs Pipebomb would score with just a little over 10 minutes left in regulation time. The game proceeding to extra time with a 1-1 at the end of 90 minutes, yet /sci/ would press forward as all the medals seamlessly passed the ball up the pitch for Norman Wildberger to score at the 100th minute, 11 minutes later Feynman would slip in the final dagger to bring the game to a 3-1 victory and advancing /sci/ to the quaterfinals. The final day of winter saw /sci/ play /cm/, the match began with a rough start as Kawrou Nagisa poached with kickoff abuse before the 5 minute mark. /sci/'s attack for the first half struggled to make out of its side of the pitch and even the /sci/entists made it into /cm/'s half they struggled to get into the box and make shots despite various tactical changes. Still down by 1 after the first half further changes to address the issues with passing finally yielded Mochizuki a goal to tie the game shortly after subs. Unfortunately, chocked shots by /sci/ would leave the game 1-1 and bound for extra time again. All appeared lost as Len-kun brought /cm/ out ahead, until Mochizuki scored to keep /sci/ alive. The 2-2 draw at the end of extra time sent the game to penalties, /sci/'s hopes of making it into the top 4 for the first time since the Spring of 2012 hung in the balance, but alas it was not to be as rather tired Richard Feynman had his shot saved while /cm/ had made all of theirs. /sci/'s biggest white whale of them all, a quaterfinal knockout match, had gotten away yet again. While miffed, there was still much for the /sci/borgs to celebrate as the team had placed 5th, exceeding its previous best elite tournament run. A solid performance by the team from its first game to its last would encouraged the board as /sci/ was all the more determined to take on summer.

Statistics
Main Article: /sci/ Player Statistics
Trivia
- /sci/ is one of only 2 teams to have drawn 30 or more games.
- Despite being the longest tenured keeper on the team, Stephen Hawking finished his goalkeeping career only recorded seven clean sheets in an 11 year period, averaging less than 1 per year, and his first recorded clean sheet did not come until 2017. For comparison, Thorium, the second leader in clean sheets, had a short career spanning four years averaged over 1 clean sheet per year.
- /sci/ went 10 years without promoting from a Spring Babby Cup in a way that didn't involve a scandal or a controversial decision (2012-2022), being eligible to play in 6 of them; staying within the same subject, /sci/ spent 8 years without promoting from an Autumn Babby Cup (2014-2022), although they only participated in 4 thanks to a combination of staying elite and one forfeit.
- As of the time of writing /sci/ has conceded goals in 91.1% of games played.
- In the 2023 Summer Cup, Norman Wildberger scored /sci/'s first double brace since Richard Feynman's against /diy/ in 2015

The Intellectualism Derby
A match filled with brains and boredom (specially the 10+ minute managing spaghetti at the 2013 Spring Babbies), both boards enjoy reading but /sci/ prefers books that have the purpose of understanding the universe and physics while /lit/ prefers to read made up stories that are 2deep4u. The /lit/erati see the /sci/entists as a soulless team, as for The Team of Science say they are just jelly of their 300k starting jobs in Math because they took an actual helpful God Tier Major instead of ending up on the dole because of their shit tier majors. As for 4CC matters, /lit/ has won three official matches and an old offical friendly, but /sci/ will keep on testing until they can find a scientifically proven tactic that will drive them to victory.

The Progress Bowl
Both boards want the best for humanity, although they both disagree on some aspects: /pol/ disagrees with the moral values of /sci/ and /sci/ disagrees with the ethnic cleansing proposals of /pol/. These matches are filled with air raids and nuclear testings so the happenning is now. Both boards have met three times, the first time was a 2-1 victory for the /sci/entists with goals by Richard Feynman and Dawkins, the next one was a 2-1 win for the /pol/acks in the 2012 Summer Cup friendlies. Given /pol/'s elite status and /sci/'s decline both boards had to wait one year to face each other again, this time in the 2013 Summer Cup, where both teams were already eliminated but that didn't stop them from having fun at the infamous Doompaul pitch, whereas /sci/ won 1-0 with a goal by Bill Nye to put the ball back in /sci/'s court. These teams would not face each other for nearly 4 years, this time in a complete different scenario, the 2017 Spring Babby Qualifiers, /pol/ in shambles after disastrous performances one after the other and /sci/ returning after a year of hiatus, both teams were put on a do or die situation where a draw would favor /sci/, taking into account the horrid performances by /pol/ in their new stadium, /sci/ opted to use their stadium instead of the Time Cube, this time around both teams gathered for a joint anthem to protest Bill Nye's brainlet views on gender. Richard Feynman put 2 goals that were enough to gain the draw to advance and bury /pol/ in their stadium, being buried by a Jewish scientist that scored twice on them on the same day that marked the anniversary of Hitler's suicide. The most recent matchup was in Summer 18 and saw /sci/ bury /pol/ 2-1 and staying elite at their expense, while they headed to the inferno of the babbies. /sci/ and /pol/ would meet again in Spring 22 losing to /pol/ 1-2 for the first time in an official cup match, both promoted anyway. While /sci/ normally opposes the idea of slavery, they seem content on owning /pol/.

Science vs. Engineering
An age old question that has been argued for years: Which is more useful, Science or Engineering? This derby plans to settle the debate once and for all with /sci/ and /diy/ facing each other for philanthropic dominance. The first matchup between these two boards was in the 2013 Autumn Babby Cup friendlies, on which /diy/ managed to take a win away from the /sci/entists. These two teams would not face each other (barring friendlies and invitationals where /sci/ won a game and drew the other) until the 2015 4chan Winter Cup in a decisive match where it was a situation of do or die for both teams in order to advance, /diy/ struck first with an early 2-0, but with Feynman’s once-in-a-lifetime shot, a miracle performance by CB Triple Integrals and a goal by Bosnia’s Brave Nikola Tesla made /sci/ take a trip to the knockouts and the advantage on this rivalry. They would meet again in the 2015 Autumn Babby Cup but with a strong /diy/ and a /sci/ in a do-or-die situation, things looked to be a bit lopsided… and they were, in favour of /sci/, giving the /sci/borgs their largest win recorded so far. Both teams failed to advance but at least /sci/ can still maintain the “all engineers are fags” statement as law.
