VGL11

VGL11 was /gfg/'s /vg/ League debut. Drawn into Group G along with /2hug/, VGL First Founders /twg/, and perennial powerhouse /drg/, there was no clear path out of the Group Stage for the brainlets.

Group Stage Week 1: /gfg vs /twg/

/gfg/’s debut was a surprisingly close match with /twg/ that saw the brainlets triumph 3-2 over the manlets thanks to an early opening goal by $1 Slut, a brace from WA at 31' and 60', and 7 saves from keeper Sleepo Beepo. The army of brainlets in the chat and an impressive showing on the pitch made for an entertaining match and set the stage for /gfg/'s explosion onto the divegrass scene. Between weeks 1 and 2 a replay of the match made its way onto imageboards in both Taiwan and mainland China. Intrigued, the chink hordes pushed the replay of /gfg/’s triumph to over 3,000 views by week 2 and /gfg/ was officially on the map.

Group Stage Week 2: /gfg/ vs /2hug/

Week 2's match against /2hug/ began inauspiciously for /gfg/ as School Shooter received a yellow card from referee Dylan Klebold after just 9 minutes of play. However, that card would be the end of /gfg/'s bad luck as 10 minutes later Sopdog scored a spaghetti goal while the stream was ded. A Sopdog header at 45'+1 meant the brainlets took a 2-0 lead into the halftime interval. The break didn't disrupt /gfg/'s momentum and at 52' Sopdog completed her first hat trick in style with a flying kick. ALL YOU NEED also got involved with an 88' top shelf snipe from well outside the box giving /gfg/ a 4-0 lead. A 90'+ concession by Brainlet Uzi meant the tally was 4-1 for /gfg/ at the full time whistle. This match set the new VGL record for highest attendance at 525 and the Chinese Government had absolutely nothing to do with it. /gfg/ put on a dominating offensive performance with 7-of-7 shots on-target. Confidence was at an all-time high for the brainlets leading into the final week of group play. 6 points in the group and a 4 goal differential meant that topping the group and qualifying into the Ro16 seemed all but assured with /drg/ needing to win by 3 to top the group and 5 to eliminate /gfg/.

Group Stage Week 3: /gfg/ vs /drg/

Disaster struck early in week 3 for the brainlets as bronze midfielder ALL YOU NEED earned herself a controversial straight red card from >Greg a mere 8 minutes into the match against /drg/ for her sliding tackle of /drg/'s SEESAW EFFECT. Down a medal and suddenly filled with DESPAIR, Sleepo Beepo immediately gave up goals to HOPE and MEAT ON THE BONE and with 70 minutes still to play /gfg/ found itself down by 2, 1 conceded goal from going to the Survival Round and 3 from being eliminated entirely. /gfg/ live manager julmer then had streamer QD position the ghostly spirit of the red-carded ALL YOU NEED in goal next to Sleepo Beepo for the remainder of the match, in order to keep her awake. Immediately afterwards, Beepo seemed to understand the message and pulled off a one-handed miracle save that got the team back on their feet. After a positively ASS-CLENCHING 70 minutes of defensive play, the full time whistle blew and /gfg/ had stopped the bleeding at 2-0 holding on to a group-topping qualification into the Round of 16.

Although the brainlets were elated about making the Ro16, their failure to win or hold /drg/ to 1 goal or fewer meant the end of VGL11 for the cute tsunderes of /2hug/ due to complicated big brain group stage fuckery that was absolutely definitely not rigged. The brainlets of /gfg/ vowed to seek vengeance and push onward in rembrence of /2hug/. They entered the Ro16 with a renewed sense of purpose, and it was at this moment that they finally realized what they were fighting for.

Round of 16: /gfg/ vs /gsg/

In the Round of 16, /gfg/ drew another VGL First Founder in the form of /gsg/. Despite being down a medal (the renamed Punished 416, formerly ALL YOU NEED), /gfg/ returned to form with goals at 23' and 57' for a Sopdog brace, Brainlet UZI's first (and only) save of the tournament and 100% shot efficiency to send the brainlets into the quarterfinals on a 2-0 win over the big brain grand strategists. After a bittersweet transition into the knockout stages, a decisive victory in the Round of 16 was exactly what the brainlets needed to regain confidence in their team.

However, that elation quickly turned to dread for /gfg/ as the bracket revealed that an undefeated juggernaut of unadulterated Autism awaited them in the quarter-finals...

Quarter-Finals: /gfg/ vs /mcg/

The quarters saw /gfg/ facing 9 point group-topper and overall #1 seed /mcg/. Having databased VGLX Champions /vrg/ in the Ro16, /mcg/ looked poised to run the table. Leading into the quarter-final, /mcg/ were not only undefeated, but had spent a grand total of 5 minutes in a losing position across 4 matches. Even the most optimistic of brainlet supporters felt that this game was likely the end of a surprising rookie campaign. In a shocking turn of events /gfg/ leapt out to a 2-0 lead early over the blockheads with WAR GOD putting up a brace before the 30' mark. However, in the second half 2-0 once again proved itself to be the most dangerous lead as /mcg/'s M.A.W.P.C. put up a brace of their own. With the match knotted at 2 all after 90', the brainlets and autists headed into eggsdra dime. After 90 minutes of running double memenpress, the /gfg/ midfield was gassed and the situation seemed dire for the brainlets. In a move that completely defied all conventional PES managing wisdom, /gfg/ manager julmer deployed Girls' Frontline corpse-dragging tactics and subbed out 2 gassed medals (School Shooter and Punished 416, both bronze) in favor of fresh non-medals HOMETE and Kryuger. Needless to say some were skeptical of this move. To the stunned amazement of all in attendance, this galaxy brain tactic resulted in a 97' goal by WAR GOD from HOMETE to complete her hat trick only to watch M.A.W.P.C. complete their hat trick 8 minutes later on a 105'+ heartbreaker. Despite this, all was not lost, and in the second half the unprecedented tactic paid off once again in the form of a 107' goal by WA from Kryuger. /mcg/ was unable to equalize and the final result was a 4-3 win for /gfg/ in eggsdra dime. At long last Autism was no longer speaking. This result sent /gfg/ through to the semi-finals and guaranteed a medal representative on /vg/’s 2019 Winter Cup roster.

Semi-Finals: /gfg/ vs /dbg/

In the semi-finals, /gfg/ faced /dbg/ in a battle of chinks v. Mexicans . What followed was 90 minutes of extremely tense divegrass with both sides getting 3 on-target shots and 4 saves by their respective keepers, but at full time the teams were drawn at nil. /gfg/ laid it all on the line in the first period of eggsdra dime and got 2 more on-target shots, but 2 more saves from /dbg/’s Thanks Doc meant that the score was still nil-nil heading into the 2nd half of eggsdra dime. Taking advantage of a gassed /gfg/ midfield and defense, /dbg/'s Gogeta Da was finally able to sneak a shot past Sleepo Beepo and eventual VGL11 champions /dbg/ prevailed over the brainlets 1-0 bringing an end to /gfg/'s Cinderella story.

Third Place Match: /gfg/ vs /civ4xg/

The third place match against /civ4xg/ was a very efficient showing once again from the /gfg/ offense with 7-of-8 shots on-target including a Sopdog brace, but the defense and goalkeeping was simply not at the level it had been all tournament with keeper Sleepo Beepo falling into a deep sleep and conceding 6 goals. Having narrowly avoided getting Brazil'd, the 6-2 loss was a sour note to end the campaign on for the brainlets, but a 4th place overall showing in their VGL debut assured that Sopdog would take the pitch as a bronze medal for /vg/. Not bad for a bunch of 01IQ brainlets.

*ROUNDABOUT STARTS PLAYING*

With the disgusting botefuckers of /alg/ nearly spooning VGL11 and failing to advance from their group, /gfg/ and /alg/ will look to ignite a fierce rivalry on January 19th-27th 2019 during MobaBowl in a match that will assuredly not only prove that PES is a game of skill, but finally decide which is the best Chinese gachashit mobage about girls that also happen to be moe anthropomorphized military equipment.

2019 Big Team Brawl

The 2019 Big Team Brawl was an invitational "organized" and "streamed" by Andy with the purpose of bringing the biggest possible markets in the 4CC together and of course having >fun. To help ease the disappointment of losing a medal spot on the /vg/ team, /vg/ management decided to make Sopdog the gold medal striker for this tournament. For the fans of /gfg/ this meant Sopdog would be going toe to toe as a gold medal for /vg/ against such 4CC titans as /m/, /pol/, and /sp/.

/vg/ was drawn into Group B along with /r9k/, /m/, and /pol/

Group Stage Match 1: /vg/ vs /r9k/

Sopdog and the Generals opened up the group stage against the Neckbears of /r9k/ and immediately there was a big problem. The tournament had already been plagued with various technical issues and when Sopdog took the pitch it became apparent that those issues would persist. Although Sopdog's name and player attributes had been swapped into the gold medal position, she was inhabiting the body of /dbg/'s Gogeta Da. Gogeta Da likewise had possessed the body of Sopdog in the bronze CMF position. Unfortunately the adjustment period that they needed to adapt to their new bodies meant that /r9k/ jumped out to an early 1-0 lead. The halftime interval came and went with Gogeta Dog, Sopgeta, and /vg/ appearing listless. 77 long minutes passed with /vg/ remaining scoreless, but just as it appeared that /vg/ would open the group stage with a loss a zero point, Sopdog in the body of Gogeta Da sent a cross into the box for Gogeta Da in the body of Sopdog who buried it deep into /r9k/'s goal to equalize at 1 all. After seeing her comrade score in her body, Sopdog was determined to harness the power of her new Super Saiyan Blue form and not let her team down. Her first attempt was a KAPOW off the /r9k/ post and out of bounds at 80'. With time winding down and /vg/ 3 minutes away from a Game 1 draw, Gogeta Da popped it forward over the head of a defender and right to Sopdog who scored her first (unofficial) goal for /vg/ in style at 88'. With 3 minutes left and no time to mount a counter attack, the forever alone kissless handholdless virgins of /r9k/ could only watch in muted horror as even a gynoid sex robot thoroughly rejected them. For the time being the beta uprising had been quelled and /vg/ would take 3 crucial points into the next day of group play.

Group Stage Match 2: /vg/ vs /m/

Despite some significant technical difficulties, BTB Day 2 kicked off with Sopdog and /vg/ taking on the mecha menace /m/. Although Sopdog and Gogeta Da had returned to their original bodies, the bond of friendship they forged during Game 1 was eternal. The match kicked off and /vg/ immediately looked promising with VGL11 Golden Boot winner APEX netting one at 19' to put /vg/ on top 1-0. The auspicious start would continue for /vg/ as Sopdog assisted Chinese Ninja Warrior on a 27th minute goal to extend the lead to 2-0. After an early offensive assault by the Generals, both teams settled into the match and the lead held through the halfway mark and into the second half. As abruptly as the action ended at 27' so too did it begin again with a counter from /m/ with Ideon sneaking one past the back line and in at 61' to cut /vg/'s lead to 2-1. As if wishing to snuff out any hope of /m/omentum in the mech's favor, Gogeta Da assisted a Chinese Ninja Warrior brace goal at 80' and returned the /vg/ margin to 2 with 10 minutes remaining. /m/ wasn't done and an 87' goal by Mazinger Z put /m/ back within striking distance and a pair of dangerous tries by Mazinger at 89' had /vg/ fans on edge, but ultimately the defense held and /vg/ once again took the day on a 3-2 scoreline. This win put /vg/ and /pol/ at the top of the group leading into the final match of group play.

Group Stage Match 3: /vg/ vs /pol/

Sopdog scores a goal against /pol/ and does a flip

In the last match of group play officially there was very little at stake with both /vg/ and /pol/ having qualified out of the the group stage and earned the right to play more divegrass. Despite the promotions being set there was still plenty to play for. This was to be the first time that /vg/ played /pol/. Ever. Finally the world would have an answer about which tournament is better, /vg/ league or /pol/eague. This match was also a preview of Stupor Cup 6 which will take place on February 10th, 2019. For /gfg/ however, the match had one more added layer of significance as Sopdog and /vg/ would be battling the militant nation of /pol/ to defend the honor of darling Israel-chan. Leading into the match /pol/ was sitting on 6 points after a tightly contested first match with /m/ followed by an absolute 4-1 gassing disassembling of the /r9k/ robots. /pol/ were strong, muscular, Aryan and looked poised to snag a third win and prove they were part of the 9 Point Mustard Race. With the stage set and all rigging completed, this highly anticipated clash of the 4CC titans was set to begin. The match started with each side getting a few chances, but being unable to break through. Then at 36' /pol/'s I Doubt It flipped Sopdog's switch and earned himself a yellow card in the process. This turned out to be a fatal error for /pol/ as Sopdog had been let out and at 62' she broke away from Assad and with only the keeper to beat she punched it in and did a celebratory flip in the High Castle. Not content to rest on a 1 goal lead, Sopdog sent a pass forward to Chinese Ninja Warrior who put it in with an acrobatic slide. Suddenly it was 2 nil and >we were laughing at them. Even after going to meme +2 mentalities the /pol/ attack looked absolutely lifeless and when the final whistle blew /vg/ had triumphed 2-0 while /pol/ finished with no shots on target. Having thoroughly dabbed on /pol/tards, proved the supremacy of the /vg/ league, and defended the honor of (((Negev))), /vg/'s next match in the Semi-Finals would see them meet a familiar opponent.....

Semi-Final Match: /vg/ vs /sp/

Sopdog scores the equalizer for /vg/ off a cross in from Chinese Ninja Warrior

/vg/ would kick off the final day of the Big Team Brawl in a major way with a match against the /sp/artans. This was the first meeting between these teams since the 2018 4CC Summer Cup Final where /vg/ took home a 3-1 victory and the Elite Cup. However this is a new year, a new /vg/ squad, but same high expectations of a win against /sp/. The match started with a gutpunch by the GOATs as USAUSAUSA slipped one past /vg/ keeper Jannu and put /sp/ up 1-0 at 11'. /sp/'s lead would be short lived however as a beautiful ball in from Somehow I'm The Bad Guy allowed Chinese Ninja Warrior to equalize for /vg/ on a 23' flying header. Unlike in the summer, /sp/ was not prepared to roll over and die on only 1 goal. After a misplayed clearance by Eroha, Torres passed back to It's Coming Home who sent a blistering shot past Jannu from outside the box and /sp/ regained their 1 goal lead and the score was 2-1 at 34'. Unfortunately for /sp/ this lead would be even shorter lived as on the very next /vg/ attack Gogeta Da was fouled just outside the box on the far side. Chinese Ninja Warrior lined up the take the free kick. He delivered a beautiful cross in to Sopdog who was waiting at the mouth of the goal to head it in and equalize at 36'. After a celebratory embrace with Chinese Ninja Warrior and Gogeta Da, Sopdog looked ready to lead the /vg/ team into the halftime interval drawn at 2, but carrying momentum and high spirits. However, the first half wasn't done quite yet dear reader for at 44' a crime was committed in the /sp/ box. Era Penal. Somehow I'm The Bad Guy was brutally taken down in the box and with a minute plus stoppage til halftime /vg/ had a chance to take a 1 goal lead into the locker room. The hopes of /vg/ now rested on the foot of Chinese Ninja Warrior who stepped up to take the PK. Reliable as ever, his kick was strong and his aim was true and surely this meant /vg/ would carry a 1 goal lead into halftime, right? Actually no, because if you can believe it the first half had one more twist up its sleeve for these teams. As the clock rolled past 45' and into stoppage time something magical was happening. A /vg/ attack was materializing and at 45+3' Sopdog passed backwards to APEX outside the /sp/ box and using GaChad meme magic, APEX sent an absolute laser right to the near post and into /sp/'s goal. The VGL11 Golden Boot winner had delivered once again and when the halftime whistle blew /vg/ had a 4-2 lead and all the momentum in the world.

Connection Found

After the half and /sp/'s subs at 65' their attack looked significantly more lively. A pair of clutch saves at 69' from keeper Jannu kept /sp/ at bay for as long as possible, but at 74' the /vg/ defense finally broke and Torres was able to cut the lead to 1 with a far post screamer off the USAUSAUSA throughball. With the match and a trip to the Final now in question, /sp/ had the momentum with 15 minutes to play. Another Torres breakaway had /vg/ fans sweating and the match was beginning to look like a run out the clock situation, but that didn't mean /vg/ would be parking the bus, oh no. In fact the Generals began a relentless attack starting with a Sopdog throughball to Chinese Ninja Warrior whose shot was deflected out for a corner at 86'. Sopdog took the corner and tried to find Connection Lost, but it was deflected out by /sp/ for another corner at 87'. Sopdog took the corner again and at 88' she finally found her connection with Connection Lost who put the header in to seal the game and a trip to the Final for /vg/. After one final save by Jannu the refs called full time and with a final scoreline of 5-3, /vg/ had dominated /sp/ once again.

Big Team Brawl Final: /vg/ vs /tv/

It had been a long road full of ups and downs, memes and screams but it was finally time. The Final match to decide the Champion of the Inaugural Big Team Brawl would see /vg/ taking on the only other undefeated team in the tournament: the fa/tv/irgins of /tv/. /tv/'s road to the Big Team Brawl Final included a group stage tie with /sp/, 1 goal wins against /int/ and /mlp/, and a Semifinal with /pol/ that required >simulated Eggsdra Dime to decide in /tv/'s favor. To this point in the tournament /vg/ had scored the most goals at 12 while /tv/ had surrendered the fewest with only 3. This match would see the unstoppable force of /vg/'s offensive firepower meet the immovable object of /tv/'s stout and stingy defense with all the glory on the line.

The first half was an absolute semen slurpfest with the defense of /tv/'s 5-2-1-2 absorbing and neutralizing any kind of attack that /vg/ attempted to mount. The /tv/ attack was also having difficulty developing, but they managed to get a shot on-target which was saved by Jannu and at halftime this highly anticipated match had produced fucking nothing. Halftime changes revealed that /tv/ had been RIGGED for the entire first half. Having unrigged /tv/ and with /vg/ leaving their tactics unchanged, the second half was ready to kick off.

Sopdog with the assist to Somehow I'm The Bad Guy

The final half of the tournament began with fans of each team waiting anxiously, each hoping their squad would be the one to break through. The halftime unrigging must have had some effect because shortly after kickoff /tv/'s FOR YOU sent a pass back to Sheev who sent a far-post strike past Jannu and /tv/ broke the scoring drought at 52' to take a 1-0 lead. With the seal broken, it didn't take /vg/ long to get in on the action and at 60' Chinese Ninja Warrior equalized after putting his head on a beautiful ball in from >99% Chance to Hit. The concession defensive changes for /tv/ proved ineffective as on the very next /vg/ attack Gogeta Da hit paydirt on service from Somehow I'm The Bad Guy and at 64' /vg/ was on top 2-1. Perhaps frustrated by her inability to get in on the /vg/ attack, Sopdog killed a guy at 82'. With /tv/ squandering opportunities to equalize at 75' and 85' this match was shaping up to be an ass-clenchingly narrow /vg/ win. Then, on the final attack of the game, Gogeta Da passed forward to Sopdog in the box who passed to Somehow I'm The Bad Guy who sent a 90+3' dagger into the heart of /tv/. The final whistle sounded and the Generals had done it! A 3-1 win in the Big Team Brawl Final meant that /vg/ had achieved total victory going undefeated in tournament play. Sopdog had not only lived out her dream of leading /vg/ to victory, but she took home some sweet hardware in the process. Good dog.

Sopgeta hoists the Big Team Brawl hardware for /vg/ and reminds the world that although the invitational has come to a close, Sopgeta is eternal.
