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 silver (currently Git Gud), while the gold, other silver, and both bronzes are determined by the top four teams in the League. So far, eleven 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. One of them is now C H A M P, and it isn't the big brother. Regardless, any future meetings WILL be >fun. |

Team History
The /vg/ League X occurred, marking the not-quite-5th year of the /vg/ League. Both silvers ended up among the 11 players from Spring forcibly booted off the roster, while /vrg/ won their first ever /vg/ League and got the gold medal spot on Summer /vg/. /fgg/ obtained second place and got a silver spot along with demoted meta player Git Gud, while /drg/ and /mbg/ (3rd and 4th respectively) got bronze spots.
Thanks to /vg/'s incredible showing in Spring, they had something very unfamiliar going into Summer: actual expectations. Little did anyone know of the ride they were about to be taken on. The group stage draw pitted /vg/ against old foes in /k/, who started their redemption arc with a win over /vg/ just three short cups ago, and /toy/, who started their cup winning run by coming back from 2 down against /vg/. It also got /vg/ a first time match against recently-revived /gif/, who along with /vg/ were one of the first teams to promote from Spring. The opener was against /k/, and despite /vg/ fielding highly unorthodox tactics it was a slurpfest for 70 minutes. Then something happened. Playing her first match ever, new gold Unity-chan got sent off. /vg/ had to hold on with 10 men for 20 more minutes; it seemed like they would until one of /k/'s own scored a Cheeki Breeki winner at the death. Safe to say, almost any expectations for /vg/ immediately dampened to nothing. As a result of lacking a gold medal who was not >Git Gud to lead the attack, /vg/ parked the bus and then some against /gif/. It worked pretty well, even to the point of scoring the opening goal as the Best Melty Player In Italy slammed down a header. Outside of that moment, /gif/ took shot after shot at the /vg/ net but only one went in as Jannu went incredibly fast, near singlehandedly getting /vg/ a crucial point. /vg/ were still far from the knockouts, though: they needed to beat /toy/ and, provided the win was by just one, pray for one of /gif/ or /k/ to carry them through. Finally at full power, /vg/ responded to their situation by scoring two goals within 30 minutes (courtesy of I Love Junko! and Git Gud). Unfortunately, Madoka Titus scored a goal immediately after Git Gud's and the match was effectively killed off afterwards. /vg/ won, but they still needed help. The match immediately afterwards, /gif/-/k/, was something out of PES16; both teams' defenses failed to show up while their offenses traded blows for two thirds of the match. Obviously, this was not good for /vg/. In fact, they were all of five minutes away from being relegated on goals scored. But then, /k/ gave the mother of all gifts in return for the multiple /vg/ gave them. Moist Nugget and Zergface scored two goals in the closing minutes of the match, giving /k/ the margin needed to ensure they took /vg/ with them into the knockouts. (The final goal ended up being a /gif/ consolation but it didn't fucking matter.)
Despite >PES doing its best to end /vg/'s run in three matches, they were in the knockouts. Sure, they were statistically the worst team to advance, but what did that matter? Drawn against /n/ (who officially put /vg/ out of their misery back in Spring 2015) for the Round of 16, /vg/ started their greatest mission yet. Like the group stage, the Round of 16 match was very defensive as both teams cancelled each other out for well over two thirds of match time. However, one team could shoot on target, and it wasn't /n/. Making up for her earlier red card, Unity-chan scored the ultimately winning goal for /vg/, sending them to their first quarterfinal since Winter 2017. The quarterfinals match against /jp/ saw Unity-chan continue in top form by opening up the scoring in all of 9 minutes, before /jp/ put up 2 to take the lead at the 23rd minute. Said lead didn't last long thanks to the Best Melty Player In Italy scoring an equalizer to make it a 2-2 match exactly 30 minutes in, and from there /jp/ had almost no answer to /vg/'s counterattacks as Unity-chan secured a hat trick before the first half ended and got her fourth twelve minutes after the break. /jp/ attempted to claw back from this 5-2 deficit with Japanese Bird cooking up a kickoff abuse goal, but it didn't work. Git Gud added insult to injury just before stoppage time began as /vg/ won by an incredible score of 6-3. The semifinal matchup against /int/ was relatively quiet, but Unity-chan still scored twice while /vg/'s defense completely shut /int/ down. With the 2-0 victory, /vg/ found themselves in their first ever final, one match away from glory. Their opponent was quite familiar; /sp/, the very same team that depended on /vg/ letting their guard down to get to Summer in the first place. Now, /sp/ were searching for their third* second star as an entire board prepared to celebrate in the way only /sp/arta can. One problem: /vg/ were playing /sp/ in a real match, and the latter were caught totally off guard. Before 30 minutes had passed, the final was all but over. Unity-chan opened up scoring in 3 (three) minutes, Git Gud got gud ten minutes later as a result of Tony Kornheiser giving up, and the Best Melty Player In Italy put a third in at the 25th minute. The /sp/artans made many attempts to summon the meme magic of Istanbul, but all they got was a 63rd minute wave of TSUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU. /vg/ won the final 3-1, capping off a run that just two weeks prior seemed absolutely impossible.
Unity-chan's ridiculous knockout stage form saw her tied with /tg/'s legendary Doomrider for the Golden Boot, having scored 8 goals. Despite failing to even get 20 total saves courtesy of her lone bad performance against /jp/, Jannu got much-deserved recognition for saving /vg/ often throughout the cup and ended up 4th in the overall Golden Glove ranking at 18 saves. Animation Not Final, despite barely playing, received recognition for his incredibly meme proof of concept model as it was voted the best model of the tournament. Most importantly, /vg/ became the first vidya board to ever win any cup while big brother /v/ could only watch from the stands.
The /vg/ League 11 occurred, marking the actual 5th year of the /vg/ League. As usual, there was massive roster churn, including two medals being booted off the roster. In their place, some new faces got their first ever spot on the /vg/ roster, with one of them taking a bronze spot getting the starting goalkeeper spot. Champions /dbg/ took the new (second) gold spot, /fgog/ received the second silver spot, and /civ4xg/ got the second bronze silver spot.
Oh, and /vg/ management got another former /vp/ manager.
Fug, we couldn't save /vp/ OR repeat as champs OR win the 3rd Place Trophy. Still best defending champ performance since 2013 though and we lost to the champions just like all those other times ;)
