/r9k/ v /ck/

Background:  /ck/ had played  /r9k/ many times. The first matchup was an unremarkable 3–1 /ck/ win in the 2012 4chan Autumn Babby Cup Friendlies before they defeated /r9k/ a second time, 2–1 in the 2014 4chan Autumn Babby Cup group stage. /r9k/ got the upper hand in the previous two meetings, first winning 3–1 in a 2017 4chan Spring Babby Cup match that ended up little more than a nice way to end a run before taking a 3–2 win to help stay elite in the previous Elite Cup.
