Intro
A veteran of the 4chan Cup, /vg/'s history is a bumpy ride of ups and downs. The team contains the greatest in >talent from many of the board's generals, and the hope is that at some point they'll stop shitposting and bickering enough to maybe be successful. Rarely does that happen, however exciting the on-field product may end up being.

/vg/ League
Since the 2013 4chan Autumn Babby Cup, the /vg/ League has been the way /vg/ has determined its roster for cups. Initially, only medal players were decided with this method, with other players being chosen by way of contacting the board's fastest generals. However, the /vg/ League now determines the entire /vg/ roster, with a meta player being a permanent gold (currently Git Gud), while the second gold and both silvers are determined by the top three teams in the League. So far, nine incarnations of the /vg/ League have been completed.

The Rivalry
 /v/ - Vidya Derby |
Since /vg/ is /v/'s little brother, some sibling rivalry is bound to ensue. Everything BUT Videogames vs. Everything BUT Videogames (in general form!), who will come out on top?
To date the all time record has /v/ winning 2 out of 3 matches, with both of their wins coming in friendlies. However, /vg/'s lone win in the series came during an elite cup and served to relegate /v/, so the rivalry is sure to be heated from now on. An unofficial friendly match was played between the two before the 2015 4chan Winter Cup, with /v/ winning 1–0, and both teams have met three times in each of the two Vidya Bowls. The third official Vidya Bowl came in the 2017 4chan Summer Cup group stage, three years to the last. /v/ got another early lead, but unfortunately /vg/ could not turn same magic they did long ago and only got an equalizer, which ended up being the difference between relegation and advancement. Of course, both teams went and completely shat the bed following their relegation, so it is entirely possible the next meeting of this rivalry happens in a Spring Babby Cup near (You). |

Team History
The /vg/ League 7 occurred just before the Winter Cup; /ddg/ and their hungry dragon were the victors, while /xcg/'s big fat snek tats (again) took second and /hsg/'s WIIIIIIINDS took third. Longtime favorites such as Purple Heart and Maus were knocked off the roster, and in their place came fresh faces. The new /vg/ saw its first action in the 2017 4chan Winter Cup Friendlies with a 3–1 win over /his/ and a 1–2 loss to /toy/.
/vg/ were drawn into Group E with robotic powerhouses /m/ and /r9k/ (both of whom had beaten /vg/, in /m/'s case twice in a row, before) as well as the perpetually yo-yoing anime papes of /w/. Their first match back in the elites was against /m/, an old friend coming off a third place finish the cup before and whose influence on /vg/ could obviously be felt. The match itself was a dominant performance from /vg/, as /m/ struggled to find any semblance of footing (although they did have two shots hit the trollpost) while /vg/'s new gold Grigori ate up /m/'s defense and put two goals past Godmars for a 2–0 win. /vg/'s next opponent was commissioner's favorite /w/, a team who always struggled to find the success of their older brother. The first half was slow and defensive, with neither team able to find any opportunity to break through and open the match up and the halftime score being 0–0. However, Grigori continued carrying /vg/ and scored immediately after the second half opened; /vg/ continued to dominate until late in the match when /w/'s 77 winger Current scored an equalizer at the 88th minute. Miss Monochrome scored what appeared to be a winner for /w/, but Git Gud's prematch threats of backstabbing the referee kept him from giving /w/ the win, the goal was ruled offside, and the match settled as a 1–1 draw. Although /vg/ were at the top of their group through two matches, they could still have potentially been relegated if they had lost by enough. However, /vg/ and their final opponent, the infamously scared /r9k/, calmed down any worries about their position; although /r9k/ had some sieges early, they found as many goals as they have girlfriends, while /vg/ struggled to get much of an attack going themselves. A terrible match that ended 0–0 relegated /r9k/ and secured /vg/'s advancement and elite status for the first time in two and a half years. ANOTHER low-tempo draw directly afterwards secured /vg/ the top spot of the group.
/vg/'s first opponent in the knockout stage was fellow vidya board /vr/; both had previously met in the last cup, with /vr/ taking a 3–2 victory. An extra-pissed Kirby started off the match with a bang, putting in the fastest goal of the cup for /vr/. However, /vg/ bounced back very quickly; absent for nearly all of the tournament up to the point, High Impact Sexual Violence finally scored a goal at the 16th minute, before Snaketits scored a second with the help of /vr/'s Solid Snake betraying his own team's defense. Despite /vr/'s attempts to get back into the match, /vg/ kept on ticking, holding off some heart-stopping /vr/ attacks while remaining solid offensively. /vg/'s 2–1 win put them into the final day, against a strong (tactically and physically) /fit/. In their worst performance of the cup, /vg/'s defense spilled spaghetti and lost themselves throughout as Scooby and Zyzz baffled a clearly worse /vg/. By the 70th minute it was 2–0, and /vg/ were absolutely hopeless despite many attempts to find a way. /fit/'s third at the 89th minute put all hope of /vg/ getting into the match away, before Git Gud decided to git gud at the absolute worst possible time, drawing a penalty deep in stoppage which he sank. It wasn't much consolation, as /vg/ remained the lowest placing team of the top eight.
But at least /vg/ didn't play in a fucking Spring Babby for once.
The /vg/ League 8 took place before the Summer Cup; with defending champion /ddg/ ded, veteran /llsifg/'s idols took first place and the second gold, while relative newcomer /lzg/ took second and /gsg/, one of the oldest participants, finally overcame their knockout woes and claimed third. Of note was /twg/ failing to win a match and thus being left off the /vg/ roster for the first time since Autumn 2012.
/vg/ were drawn into Group B with their eternal rivals, the white whale of their past, and a team they haven't played since 2014. The first match of the Summer Cup was against /tv/; /tv/ had beaten /vg/ twice in their early history, although technically /vg/ "won" both matches 1–3. A very end-to-end affair with each team having heavily threatening chances, the match did not see its first goal until the 36th minute, when Git Gud got gud and ended his scoring drought with a header. Just five minutes later, /tv/'s equalizer came, a result of Real Human Being and Brendan Fraser making /vg/'s defense look foolish. The match stagnated from there on, /tv/ seeming slightly more threatening on offense but unable to do anything in the final third, until the 80th minute. Wilhelm II converted an Umbrella corner into a goal and waggled his willy for a whole ten minutes as he ended up scoring the winning goal in a 2–1 match. From here the situation going into the /v/ match was simple; win and remain elite (not to mention six months of being able to brag about /vg/ beating their biggest rival). Unfortunately, /v/ scored a goal within 12 minutes courtesy of that fucking Scuttlebug and had many more chances to take the win themselves. /vg/'s defense somehow managed to hold the fort, while Git Gud stayed gud and equalized at the 68th minute. Fun was strictly disallowed and the end result was 1–1, the first draw in the (official match) history of the Vidya Bowl. This meant that /vg/ needed to not lose to advance, something they have historically had some trouble doing on the final day. It fucking happened again. Lolicatgirls scored a meme header in 2 minutes, and despite Smug Redman finally scoring, Xiao Mei Mei got /f/ a second at the 33rd minute. /vg/ had a few chances to get the draw and stay elite, but Bourbon House kept them out and allowed /f/ to (successfully) park the bus late. /vg/ lost 1–2, relegated with their rivals by a single goal. As such, the same roster from Summer will be back in the Autumn Babby Cup.
Back in the Babbies for the first time in a year, /vg/ were expected by many to easily get back up and the group draw only served to bolster these claims as they were drawn with not one, not two, but THREE teams even more notorious for choking, two of which /vg/ had officially played before (one of the matches having resulted in a rare pre-2016 goalfest, won by /vg/, and another resulting in the only point of /vg/'s worst ever performance). However, /vg/ got off to a dreadful start; against a completely stagnant /soc/, they failed to score a goal for the first time since Winter 2017 and only the third time in the past two years, without even a decent amount of shots to cry PES with, while conceding one early goal to Vocaroo and taking a 0–1 loss in their first match. The next match wasn't much better. /vg/'s offensive struggles continued, as they only put up two shots. When WORSHIP fouled /co/'s lord/lead striker Doom late, /vg/ appeared to be on the fast track to being one of the first teams eliminated from Autumn. However, in a complete miracle of PES, Doom missed the ensuing penalty, the match ended 0–0 (the first slurper of the tournament!) and /vg/ still had a small chance of advancing. The small chance became a legitimate one when /co/'s next act ended; a 6–1 destruction of /soc/ meant that be it /k/ or /vg/, the winner of the next match would see themselves headed for the Autumn knockouts and more importantly, Winter. /vg/ got off to a terrible start against /k/, conceding two goals within 35 minutes. Only 5 minutes later, Git Gud scored, and /vg/ were back in the match. Although /vg/ had many good attempts throughout the second half as momentum seemed to shift exclusively towards their side, none of them went in, and although by full time the stats actually were enough for some to cry PES, it didn't matter. With this 1–2 loss combined with the horrors of the first two matches, /vg/ found themselves eliminated by a likable team on the final day of the group stages for the second time in a row, headed towards a potential Fetus thanks in large part to the offensive failures of a medal setup maligned as potentially the worst in /vg/ history.
