/a/, the winners of the inaugural 2011 4chan Summer Cup, are a mainstay of the 4chan Cup theater and have a loyal following.
Despite a disappointing 2012 4chan Winter Cup, /a/ was in the hunt for glory at the 2012 4chan Summer Cup. Drawn in Group 2 with /m/, /pol/ and /g/, /a/ sought to defend their Summer Cup title as the third-placed side in the rankings. Unfortunately, a brutal loss to /pol/ kept them out of the second round.
The 2013 4chan Winter Cup saw /a/ looking to reaffirm their place as a top side despite drawing what was widely considered the toughest group of the tournament. Rising to the challenge, /a/ swept the group with wins over /mlp/, /m/, and /adv/ to earn their spot in the knockouts. A comeback win over /hm/ propelled them to the final 8, but a poor performance against /cm/ eliminated them.
/a/ took the field in the 2013 4chan Summer Cup with new management but continued its run of success. A cagey draw with /h/ was followed by successive 5-0 demolitions of /tv/ and /po/, launching /a/ to another group-topping performance. In the knockouts, /a/ handled /x/ 3-0 before falling again in the quarterfinals to eventual champion /wg/.
The 2014 4chan Winter Cup approaches, and /a/ remains one of the last three original teams to have never been relegated. /a/'s quest for a second major championship begins soon!

Rivalries
/a/ vs /sp/ - The /a/sp/ie Derby
/a/ and /sp/ have never gotten along. Shots are fired among these boards every now and then, with the most notable example being /sp/'s ONII-CHAN~~ video. However, 2011 was the year this feud reached new heights. On top of Japan winning the Women's World Cup against the USA in the final that year and /a/ rubbing it in on /sp/'s sticky thread for said match, /a/ would also eliminate /sp/ from the first 4chan World Cup after a memorable come back. At the last minute of injury time, /a/ would complete a 2 goal comeback to force the match to go to extra time with the score being 3-3. In the end, /a/ eliminated /sp/ via penalty kicks and would go on to become the first champions of the 4chan cup after beating /ck/ easily.
/a/ vs /v/ - The "Tsundere Bowl" (a.k.a. "Tsun-derby")
Plenty of /a/nons play vidya, and plenty of /v/irgins watch animu, but every time they get together the two sides want to beat each other into a pulp before admitting to any crossover between their boards.
/a/ vs /b/ - The Old Firm (a.k.a. "Cancer Derby I")
These are two of the oldest boards on 4chan, and with /b/ becoming more cancerous over time after no longer being Anime/Random, /a/ has a bigger hatred for /b/ than most boards.
/a/ vs /jp/ - The True Weeabowl (a.k.a. "2hu Derby")
Several years ago, every /a/ thread was ripe for a hijack about Touhou, so after enough bitching moot decided to exile all the Touhou fans to /jp/. Which side holds the True Weeaboo spirit? The winner of this match gets a dakimakura with character of their choice, courtesy of the losing team, accompanied by a sudden rush of self-loathing.
Trivia
- /v/ never won against /a/ and currently, their worst defeat is a 4-1 loss to /a/. It should be noted that /a/ was winning 4-0 in said match and PES 2012 had crashed at the 60th minute, forcing Germanbro to restart the match and rig it so /a/ would get the 4 goals back.
- /sp/'s only win against /a/ was in a 2012 Winter Cup friendly via penalties after the match ended with the score being 0-0. Currently, /a/ has had the better record in this rivalry with 3 wins and 1 loss. However, due to much of the information on those Winter Cup friendlies being lost, those matches are not reflected in the team's official records. Torres McIlroy, /sp/'s most successful manager, has notably chosen to avoid facing the team.
- /a/ was the first team to defeat /m/ in an official 4chan Cup match.
