/f/ vs /n/

/lgbt/ v /f/

/lgbt/ vs /f/

/x/ v /n/

Background: Back in 2012,  /x/ were so spooky that they crashed GB's stream after scoring against  /n/; they then won the restarted match 3–2, and advanced to the knockouts. Also, that shit don't count anymore. It hasn't for nearly five years. But it's still worth mentioning.

/x/ vs /n/

/f/ v /x/

Background: Yet another time where all /f/ needed was a draw. Yet another time where they got a draw, 2–2 thanks to a Cthulhu 90+.

/f/ vs /x/

/n/ v /lgbt/

Background: The dominance of  /lgbt/ all started in the Spring of 2017. There, /lgbt/ became the first team ever to LEGITIMATELY win every match in a cup, culminating in a 2–0 victory over /n/ in the final.
