In a part of 4chan unseen by most other than its citizens and the occasional lost /v/irgin, sits a place called /u/. Slow and elegant posting is preferred here, and you will find no pornographic material on this NSFW board, for it is far too lewd and impure. Sex? Not pure. Kissing? Still not pure. Hand-holding? Just pure enough. The /u/nicorns of /u/ like to sit down for a cup of tea and a nice, long, slow discussion about their favorite girls' love.

2017 4chan Spring Babby Cup: On the knife-edge
Come the 2017 4chan Spring Babby Cup, the team was still feeling the sting of the unfair Winter relegation. There was no time to dwell on that, though, and the /u/nicorns had to put their act together the climb back into the elites. Put in group D with /r9k/, rising /co/ and fellow unlucky 17th placed /ck/, the ride was looking bumpy for /u/. The opening match against /ck/ went fortunately well, Purest form of love and Homucifer teaming up to secure a 2-1 win, but the numerous offensive blunders, including a botched penalty kick, were the harbingers of some difficult times. The match against /r9k/ would confirm this, ending 0-0 despite a completely dominating performnce but with /u/ unable to do anything other than blowing its chances, making the looming match up with a solid /co/ worrying for /u/'s advancement. Foutunately group results were kind on the team, allowing them to advance even on a loss as long as /u/ kept its 6 GD advantage on /r9k/ in check, what could possibly go wrong? As it turned out, not much, but incredible >PES moments in the /ck/-/r9k/ match made /u/'s game much more stressing than any "don't lose by 4 goals" game has any right to be. Much to the /u/nicorns' relief, the team only lost by one; Purest form of love being the only /u/ scorer in a 2-1 match. And just like that, /u/ got a clutch advancement to Summer, an advancement that was all thanks to the initial victory over /ck/ and, crucially, /co/ carving /r9k/'s GD beyond repair.
The Spring adventure ended in the round of 16 where /u/ became one of the many casulties of /lgbt/'s steamrolling run to the title. Purest form of love and Homucifer protected the team from complete humiliation with two late goals, ending the match 4-2 in /lgbt/'s favor.
The 10th place did little to hide the lukewarm performance of the team and the limits of their trademark 4-4-2 diamond. Still, the team made it back to the Elite and got a second best kit award for their aesthetic effort.

Rivalries
/u/ vs. 
/lit/ - The Classyb Owl
A rivalry built on a mutual appreciation of class and style, /lit/ and /u/ hold no ill will towards each other, instead appreciating the other's awareness of the value of class. These two teams have only ever met once, in the 2013 4chan Autumn Babby Cup Friendlies. The match was a classy, respectable affair, with both teams dressed up to the nines, /lit/ decked out in a curious monochrome suit, and /u/ in a traditional and colour-coordinated miko outfit arrangement. The match ended in the classiest of scorelines; 1-1.
/u/ vs. 
/a/ - The Sisterlyb Owl
/u/, being a cousin of /a/, can't quite understand why her onee-sama talks so badly about her one moment, then cheers for her to win the next. One way or another, it seems that despite /a/'s constant complaints about how much /u/ has changed, /a/ does feel happy for her when she succeeds. Head to head, /u/ has never lost to /a/, and was even partially responsible for their relegation in the 2014 4chan Summer Cup - only time will tell if /u/'s onee-sama can forgive her, and reestablish their close friendship of old.
/u/ vs. 
/y/ - The Uriaoi Bowl
Forget all about the argument over which type of love is purer (partly because it's obviously the love between two girls). Forget all about their match history, which counts as one Durgenfaf-powered win by /y/ and one friendly win by /u/. No, the real, true reason behind this rivalry is that /y/ stole the precious first-letter board descriptor. Doomed to use the second letter in their name for all eternity, y/u/ri will never truly forgive /y/aoi for such an insult.
/u/ vs. 
/c/ - The Purity Derby
Though the images and characters posted on /u/ would frequently fit right in on /c/, there exists a schism between the two due to the fact that /u/ would much rather have Cute Girls doing Cute Girls, as opposed to Cute Things. The fact that heterosexual couples are allowed to be posted on /c/ is another strike against her in /u/'s eyes, leading her to deny /c/'s claims of being the purest board there is. The teams have played against each other a number of times over the years; twice during the early friendlies and twice during actual cups. The first time was a 3-0 victory by /u/ in the 2012 4chan Autumn Babby Cup Friendlies, and the second a 2-2 draw in the 2013 4chan Winter Cup Friendlies, a result that was repeated during the group stages of the 2014 4chan Spring Babby Cup. After more than two years apart, both teams got reunited rather surprisingly during the quarterfinals of the 2016 4chan Autumn Babby Cup, where /u/ claimed a 2-1 win.
