"Okaerinasaimase goushoujin-sama, ojou-sama!"
After three long years in Heaven, an adorable yet freaky ghost maid Mint Fantôme has finally returned to Earth to once again haunt careless idols and infiltration specialists. With her quirky humour, gremlin voice and cuteness exceeding all limits (but don’t you dare tell her that!), Mint is a shining light to Wisps all over the world, even if she always keeps us waiting and crying when she’s late or absent.
Now that we have our own Divegrass team, we’ve become a general to be reckoned with. We may hold our light sticks in missing hands and strike goals with missing legs, but it is then and only then that we are truly alive. All the pain, the pleasure, the joy and the sorrow - they are ours, and no one else’s.
We’re entering VTL determined to show everyone our power and our will to fight and win. The time has come to take back everything we’ve lost, to make ourselves bigger, better than before. But just one thing, Wisp: this isn’t about the past. We’re playing for the future.

Group Stage
"What a thrill..."
Our oshi is back, some of us waited for three long years...
We established a thread of our own and quickly got into board events. Some Wisps proposed a Divegrass team and the others were excited to get this going. There was a lot of work to be done. A whole new squad, a kit, audio, aesthetics and tactics. Would we be ready? We had issues with everything, you could and still can see us learning and adapting to this Divegrass experience with every match. We were thrown into Group E with 
/warkop/, 
/hlgg/, 
/wah/, 
/lia/ and 
/brg/.
Our opponents would be, in that order, /brg/, /wah/ and /warkop/. Many Wisps hoped to play /lia/ and we were happy to share a group with friends, but we could just support them in their matches against the same opponents.
Matchday 1, 7 September, 2024, /brg/, 1-2 (1-1)
/brg/, 1-2 (1-1)"Kept you waiting, huh?"
First match ever - both for them and for us. Our team got some high profile players for our squad: Solid Mint, a /vt/ board player, Frogbert and a certain Nondescript Elf who both previously played for 
/nijiEN/. Unbeknownst to us, all of those players were about to play a prominent role in that debut match.
That very first match started with a shock - Frogbert lost the ball in the midfield, /brg/ overcame our defensive line with just one pass and FUCK YOU HARRY scored - 0:1 with less than 5 minutes on the clock. Oh fuck. Off to a great start. With the 1st half progressing, our team became more dangerous and more confident in themselves. Deep into stoppage time, Nondescript Elf could have equalized, but her shot was saved - for now. She kept the pressure up, got the ball back off a defender, played to Solid Mint who escaped their defense and put the Wisp ball into the net. A good end to that half for all Wisps, especially the ball. It was still a slow slurpfest in the 2nd half, but now /brg/ had the better goalscoring opportunities - our only KAPOW in the 2nd half was ruled offside, Freaky Ghost Maid should have her big day, but not today. When everybody expected a tie, we were shocked yet again. Chocomint and Freaky Ghost Maid could not get the ball cleared after a corner kick and we conceded once again with less than 5 minutes to play. 1-2. Beaten on a coin toss.
First match, first defeat, already with the back against the wall.
Matchday 2, 13 September, 2024, /wah/, 4-0 (2-0)
/wah/, 4-0 (2-0)“That is not dead which can eternal lie, And with strange aeons even death may die.”
Friday, the 13th, /wah/ away, death match. The stage was set for a spooky match and accordingly, the away pen showed some Lovecraftian HYP before the match that was supposed to appeal to both threads. The team itself was unrecognizeable - the slow 3-5-2 was replaced by a much more aggressive 3-3-4 which pressed high and effective. After an early opportunity for the home side, we took control. The Silver medal DMFs weren't out of shape this time and kept our box safe, we forced /wah/ to make mistakes and, fitting for this date, the Spooky Ghost Maid used this to great effect. She scored twice and was celebrated as our MVP. V1 My Beloved put one in after the worst free kick Wispkind ever witnessed was cleared poorly and Just A Box... made it 4-0 close to the end. 4 Metal Gear players created this goal on the right flank.
Our first win, the Wisps were celebrating, but we all knew that the final Group Stage match would indeed be a final to advance.
Matchday 3, 22 September, 2024, /warkop/, 5-4 (2-2)
/warkop/, 5-4 (2-2)
"Goalkeepers need an element of insanity."
The Sand Curse almost doomed us in the 1st half and saved our asses twice in the 2nd by preventing what looked like easy goals for them. Fucking Goalkeepers, man. /warkop/ away, the final match, just don't concede early... We didn't even know what we were in for.
We shared anthem to start the match, but it seemed at first that this just helped /warkop/. 0-2 down after 10 minutes, holy shit. Just 5 minutes later, Solid Mint equalized. And she wasn't done yet. Sheer madness and insanity was about to unfold. That is, if it hadn't already.
The 2nd half saw us start with a bang. Solid Mint - who played on her second A position as Second Striker so we would have 2 Gold Forwards - scored twice in the first 10 minutes of the 2nd half, including a spectacular volley. Playing long passes up and down the flanks proved effective. Just like us in the 1st half, the Indonesians also came back with a header immediately - 4-3. So much kekoff abuse on both sides! Half an hour to go, this would be long 30 minutes. At 65', S(k)rooky, Bootaro and Mintoji-san entered the pitch when we had a throw-in and immediately made it 5-3: S(k)rooky threw to Bootaro, he played a high ball to the 2nd post and Mintoji-san headed it in. It wasn't over yet - Kobo Tempest scored very close to the end, but just a few more minutes of HOLD
ing out, then it was done!
We advanced to the KO Stage in our very first VTL. Many Wisps went on that away day even though the Ghost Lady herself was streaming at the same time.
KO Stage
First VTL, first KO Stage. Now it was do or die - little did they know, we're already ghosts... 
/awat/, at home, 
/GGG/ if we beat them. Considering that losing against us eliminated /wah/ in the Group Stage, we could become the ultimate MythBusters.
Everyone who isn't a Wisp wanted to see some Amesame, let's ruin it for them and embrace being the heel in this.
Round of 24, 27 September, 2024, /awat/, 6-1 (3-1)
/awat/, 6-1 (3-1)Welcome to the Chocomint show. First knockout match, time for the Captain to step up - and step up she did. Holy shit did she step up.
Finally at home again. Wisps travelled far and wide for those last two matches and saw some great performance on the road, but they longed for a show at home as well. Our HYP made it clear that we won't let them have their Amesame derby, but still, /awat/ started strong with 2 early chances by the Femmate. However, our team woke up after that 2nd one: Bootaro led the ball on the left, played a long cross to Chocomint and she put it in: 1-0, after around 20 mins played. We now took over the game and never let go, they couldn't break our midfield, we pressed high and effective. Not just that, our attacks were clean and swift. Tourist FAQ just fucked up 1 time which allowed them to come back, but it was already 3-0 at this time.
The 2nd half saw more of the same, two more goals by Psycho Mintis and Freaky Ghost Maid respectively which were forced by high pressing, box overload and good passing. Even though our team calmed down at 66', there was still time for one more: Freaky Ghost Maid played one pass to beat their whole defensive line, Chocomint struck it in; 6-1. The Wisps were amazed and couldn't wait for the next match.
After the match, the away pen showed some tifo to honour their oshi who recently graduated. We know this feeling, man. Our thoughts and feelings are with you, /awat/.
Round of 16, 28 September, 2024, /GGG/, 1-2 (1-0)
/GGG/, 1-2 (1-0)"Pain Pomu."
On the road again, Round of 16, our away pen started the match with yet another HYP to complete the MythBusters arc. However, it turned out to be hard fought match: /GGG/ may have needed a natural 20 on their D20 for their CB matchday conditions to stop our furious attacks, but they got it - and they were aggressive as well. It seemed obvious that they wanted to avenge /awat/, so a true fight unfolded on the pitch. Many tackles, solid defenses, few opportunities to score.
It was us who struck first close to the end of the 1st half: Chocomint found the Nondescript Elf who scored for our half-time lead of 1-0. The 2nd half saw a stronger /GGG/ who equalized early and kept up the pressure. It was a match on a knife's edge, decided on a coin toss once again... and once again, we were beaten: Our goal was ruled offside, theirs was given, 5 minutes to the end. 1-2.
Our first VTL ends here. It's been quite a ride. The Wisps enjoyed it and this is all that matters in the end.
