/b/ History
Even though this was one of the more hated teams in the cup, the fact remains that /b/ is a must-have team for the cup, as it represents the biggest board on 4chan.
2011 4chan Summer Cup
/b/ was an unwanted entry in the original 4chan Cup. As much as everyone hates the board, you can't have a 4chan cup without /b/. In the first tournament and the first 4chan Cup match ever, /x/ proved to be 2SPOOKY4/b/ as they won 2-1, sending them to the Losers' Bracket. /fa/ would eliminate /b/ here in a match that ended 1-0 with Cufflink being the man of the match.
2012 4chan Winter Cup
Though /b/ didn't get too far into the competition, this was a very memorable performance from the team. In the first round, /b/ would send the defending champions /a/ to the Losers' Bracket due to /a/ scoring an idiotic own goal, and Chocolate Rain scoring for /b/ at the last minute. Next, /x/ would once again scare the shit out of /b/, who couldn't win despite a Chocolate Rain hat trick as /x/ won the match 4-3. In the Losers' Bracket, /b/ won against underdogs /o/ 2-0, with /o/'s fanbase being remarkably calm about this loss as they went out of the competition without scoring goals. /b/'s run would end in the next round as /tg/ beat them 3-0.
2012 4chan Summer Cup
With the new format and teams from the Spring Babby cup joining the fun, /b/ was hoping to have a performance similar to the Winter cup. Actually, that's not true since /b/ doesn't care about the competition and it's best if it stays that way. /b/ was drawn into Group E with /sp/, /o/, and /d/. After /sp/ made a very memorable comeback against /d/, /b/ cooled the crowd off with a dull 1-1 draw with /o/ with their queen Boxxy scoring. Next, /sp/'s single goal from Messi gave them all they needed in a rather calm match against /b/ that ended with the score being 1-0. /b/ needed a win to have a chance to go through to the next stage, but instead they were greeted with a 5-3 loss to /d/ and were sent to the babbies along with /o/ due to the low amount of points both teams had.
2012 4chan Autumn Babby Cup
Before the cup even began, /b/ had a memorable 4-3 win against /v/ in their preparation friendlies. Apart from that, they had a 0-0 draw with /c/ and a 2-2 draw with /soc/ to think about as they went into the competition. Their cancerous cousins /r9k/ would join them in Group H along with /vg/ and /u/. Because Germanbro forgot to make certain changes to the ratings of some /b/ players, the team had to be rigged with said players being placed out of position. While it seemed like /vg/ would win the first match of the group, /b/ would draw level with a goal from Triforce, much to Germanbro's butthurt. Next, up-and-coming /r9k/ would win against /b/ with Japanese Lettuce Hardcore drowning /b/ with feels. With /vg/ losing to /r9k/, this left them with 4 points, meaning that if /b/ could win their next match against /u/ by 2 goals, they would qualify for the next Winter Cup. Despite conditioning being against /u/ in comparison to /b/, the match ended in a 0-0 draw, keeping /b/ in the babbies.
2013 4chan Spring Babby Cup
After the previous babby cup, Cosa Nostra had taken a lengthy hiatus from 4chan cup activity. Said hiatus went on for so long that /b/'s first group stage match was already played by the time Cosa Nostra came back. /c/ enjoyed a 4-1 win over an unmanaged /b/, with Triforce scoring the consolation goal. Though /co/ had just lost to /fa/, a team that hadn't won since the Wardrobe Malfunction incident, they were still considered favorites against /b/. Despite Cosa Nostra's absence, /b/ was able to surprise everyone by winning 1-0 with Anonymous proving he is, in fact, LEEJUN. Cosa Nostra returned soon after this match and it was time for him to do or die: Even winning might not have been enough if /c/ won against /co/ by enough goals. Despite this, /b/ got another surprising 1-0 win with Triforce scoring the winner against /fa/. Because /co/ beat /c/ in the match that followed, /b/ returned to the Summer Cup. /b/'s troll-tastic streak of wins was cut short by /soc/ in the Round of 16 after a tough 2-0 loss.
2013 4chan Summer Cup
/b/ went into maximum overdrive with their troll football: /b/ was not only one of the tallest teams in the cup, which led to more butthurt about height abuse, they also had a historic run to 3rd place. Their run started with a 2-0 win over the hyped /d/. Triforce danced all over /d/'s defense, and James Holmes finished the match off at the 80th minute. /lit/'s horrific debut to a major cup continued with a 4-1 loss to /b/, with Triforce scoring 4 goals. The cancer derby (or Popularity Derby as it's known on this page) with /v/ was up next and it disappointed. /b/ lost 1-0 in a dull match where Gaben's goal was the only bit of excitement.
In the round of 16, the >/m/ council came up with rather strange tactics that made their defense very leaky. /m/'s offense was still something to look out for, and by the end of the first half, /b/ was winning 3-2. A killer shot from James Holmes gave /b/ their 4th goal, which was enough to eliminate /m/ in a 4-3 win. The quarterfinals brought /b/ a great struggle with /trv/, but they got past it in true /b/ style. Despite /trv/ having twice the shots, /b/ won 1-0.
/mu/ ended /b/'s dreams to win the whole cup in a tense 1-0 loss in the semifinals. However, /b/ still managed to get somewhat of a happy ending: /v/ also got sent to the third place playoff, so /b/ got a rematch for the previous 1-0 loss. Triforce got /b/ ahead first, and then No Fun Allowed scored a ridiculous own goal. Though SANIC tried to make /b/'s players go deaf with his goalhorn, Triforce put the match away with a goal of his own, giving /b/ an originally unexpected third place finish.
After that, the team also won 4 Team Awards: Most Improved, Underdog of the Tournament, Surprise of the Tournament, and Best Anthem for Staple Tape Worms On My Penis.
