	Ah, /jp/. Though they were one of the Original Sixteen teams and an early survivor in the fight to stay True Elite, old-time followers of the cup will mostly remember /jp/ only for the now-infamous "money-making scam" e-mail that first brought the Cup to the attention of moot. Worse -- when finally their Elite status was revoked, they were then but mere backdrop to m's trademark ARROGANCE: off of the /jp/ manager's dare, /m/ had decided to crush /jp/ instead of throwing to relegate then-cup winners sp. And thus did /jp/ become a perpetual Babby fixture: a dry spell broken only once by a scoreless Winter run soon to be forgotten as the team was relegated back into obscurity. It follows, then, that the team's awakening this past Autumn was, understandably -- a shock: what otherworldly force had galvanized this team of NEETs to pick up their play? Would Winter prove their revival a fluke? As it turned out, their return to the Elites would prove unquestionably triumphant: contributing to the relegation of cup champions /mlp/, and upsetting fellow returning powerhouse toy in their quest for back-to-back cup victories. Though upstart /vp/ would eventually halt their run, they would only prevail in a tense penalty shoot-out. Without a doubt, /jp/'s meteoric rise to form is a welcome sight to behold, and as the days trickle down to Summer, be warned: this is one team that won't be taking it easy on yours.
