He enjoyed moderate early success with the board as they finished in fourth place in the [[2012 4chan Spring Babby Cup|2012 Spring Cup]]. While the team had no manager for the following Summer Cup, his hegemonic authority over his side (and most opposition defences) led them to the final of the cup, and the [[Golden Boot]] with a spectacular twelve goals in six games. His prolific form earned him a place in the [[2012 Summer Cup All-Stars|Summer Cup All Stars]] side, where he scored another three goals. Putin will be hoping to replicate his past form and go one step further in the coming [[2013 4chan Winter Cup|Winter Cup]] by bringing /int/ their first trophy.

While he is yet to taste true success, the team has been on promising runs in the 2012 [[2012 4chan Winter Cup|Winter]] and [[2012 4chan Summer Cup|Summer]] Cups. Nigramarines will be looking forward to the upcoming [[FLGS Cup]] with great fervour, hoping to redeem himself after /tg/ let five goals by in the [[2012_4chan_Winter_Cup#Preliminary_Round|match that started it all]].

Feared by defences across 4chan, he has scored in just over 60% of /n/'s matches - a total of 17 goals in 18 - made all the more impressive by his role as an attacking midfielder rather than the out-and-out forward role he has just recently inherited. I Like Trains plays as the dynamo of /n/, with his [[cards|card]] selection allowing him to influence play across the length and breadth of the pitch. After /n/ qualified from the [[2012 4chan Spring Babby Cup|Babby Cup]] at the first attempt in Spring, he played a vital role in the [[2012 4chan Summer Cup|Summer Cup]] campaign, scoring in all but one of his matches. After consecutive Quarter Final defeats, I Like Trains will be pulling /n/ harder than ever before to break that barrier in the [[2013 4chan Winter Cup|Winter]].

This enterprising buckaroo has scored a stunning twenty goals in eighteen appearances for /toy/, making him one of the deadliest finishers in the game. His [[cards|card]] setup is all about goalscoring, with S01 providing the deft touch needed in the final third, while S02 and S06 allow for the deadliest of strikes. When his midfield supply chain of Matty, Optimus Prime and Madoka Titus are in form, goals are an inevitability. Woody's most successful moments to date are a victory on penalties against [[/cgl/]] in the knockout stage of the [[2012 4chan Spring Babby Cup|Spring Babby Cup]], in which he scored a hattrick, and a demolition of [[/n/]] at the quarter final stage of the [[2012 4chan Summer Cup|Summer Cup]] where he scored another four goals. With {{Anonymous|Tinker/toy/|!KKNPpJRADo}} no longer around to keep Woody on the right track, the question remains whether incumbent {{anonymous|therookie562|!!zCyzwImHm2h}} has what it takes to extract the maximum from his star player.

With a dazzling spectrum of skills Autism acts as the foil to Get out of /jp/, using Speed Merchant to pressure the opposition defence as his strike partner reaps the rewards. He will be feeling the pressure with the dawn of 2013, as /jp/'s survival as a top-tier team will hang in the balance when the [[2013 4chan Winter Cup|Winter Cup]] begins in February. A mere consolation goal to his name against [[/f/]] in /jp/'s recent [[2013 4chan Winter Cup Friendlies|friendly]] defeat may have done little to ease his jangling nerves.

Spacebat has a taste for the spectacular, sporting the Jumping Volley and Double Touch [[skillcards]], while Speed Merchant leaves most defenders in his wake. In recent months this winged wonder's performances have entered a slight lull with only a single goal to his name in the [[2012 4chan Autumn Babby Cup|Autumn Babby Cup]]. Some have questioned whether the striker could live up to his reputation in PES 2013, but he went some way towards proving the doubters wrong with a quickfire double against [[/g/]] in their recent [[2013 4chan Winter Cup Friendlies|friendly]].

What Messi lacks in stature he makes up for in class with unparalleled close control of the football and excellent mobility thanks to a low center of gravity. Messi has scored at least once in all but one of /sp/'s official tournament matches since the [[2012 4chan Winter Cup|2012 Winter Cup]]. Since the same tournament, his goals-per-game ratio in tournaments stands at 1.46 goals per game - a ratio more fruitful than some entire teams have recorded. The omnipresent S01 and S05 skillcards provide gold players with an extra edge, while P18 helps Messi capitalise on his all-round strength across the pitch. His greatest moment is a hattrick versus [[/int/]] in the [[2012 4chan Summer Cup|2012 Summer Cup]] final (a [[/sp/ Finds A Way|certain comeback]] versus [[/d/]] is a close second place). Messi's unceremonious ditching from the first team in place of bitter rival Who /a/ here? was perhaps his lowest point, but he wasted no time in re-establishing himself as /sp/'s star in time for the [[2013 4chan Winter Cup|2013 Winter Cup]].

Spending his earlier days as a second striker, Maya's role is now to play as a right wing forward, entrusted with the task of terrorising opposition left backs and supplying pinpoint passes to gold striker 3DS Max. Equipped with P04, he makes easy work of slower defenders and S01 allows for quick transfer of the ball to the center of the pitch (or back of the net). Maya didn't take long in finding his scoring boots, with five goals in five matches during /3/'s [[2012 Spring Babby|debut tournament]] and helping the team finish second to [[/m/]]. Unusually, Maya appears most score-happy in friendlies, with a double brace, hat-trick and two braces in four previous friendlies. A goalless [[2012 Autumn Babby|Autumn Babby Cup]] last year likely failed to meet his expectations, so [[2013 4chan Spring Babby Cup|Spring]] will be a key opportunity for redemption.

Consentacles' opening match in the following [[2012 4chan Summer Cup|Summer Cup]] was one to [[/sp/ Finds A Way|forget]], but he bounced back with a clean sheet against [[/o/]] in the following match and the team did enough to make it to the knockout stage, with yet another clean sheet coming against [[/pol/]] in a 1-0 win.

Outfitted with the common S01/S05 card combination for gold players, the emphasis is on speed and skill, while P18 allows a player to influence play across the pitch.

Some Ponis still hear Erika in their sleep and are undergoing long-term therapy. The P06 [[cards|card]] allows Stormfront to deliver highly-accurate passes to forwards, namely silver striker Doompaul, from range while P14 lets him take control with the ball and bear down on goal alone. The recent [[World Series]] invitational was a good warm-up for Stormfront who scored four times in the competition.

He scored the fastest ever five-goal haul, dispatching all of them in the space of fifty-four minutes, and lifted /mu/ to the (temporarily) greatest ever victory in [[4chan Cup]] history. Mangum is equipped with the commonplace S01 and S05 [[cards]] for gold players, and is also run with P08, imbuing him with the desire to influence play from one end of the pitch to the other. A likely Round of 16 berth awaits for /mu/ in the Winter Cup, and while it remains to be seen whether Mangum can lead them to glory, recent form suggests it is a real possibility.

...in any case, it may not be springtime, but /pol/ is back! And there's no better striker to herald the return of a /pol/arizing stalwart than the Führer himself. After all, at a time where Moonman was too busy leading right-wing death squads to sniff out undesirables in the locker rooms, and Alex Jones was too busy being addled by the chemicals in the water to shoot on target, who persevered and brought home the trophy for /pol/?

His performances provoked an [http://archive.foolz.us/vg/thread/17640523/#17926423 angry reaction] from manager {{anonymous|KageyamasGhost|!Amorw9dlQ2}}, and he was dropped from the starting line-up after the cup, though we had not seen the last of him. Spectators' heads turned and looked on as fear as Natsume come on in the 83rd minute against [[/x/]] in the group stage of the recent [[2013 4chan Winter Cup|Winter Cup]]. Thankfuly for everyone involved, no late tackles were thrown, no cards were brandished, and Nastume spared himself any embarrasing moments. He went one better in the quarter finals, starting the match and helping /cm/ to a well-earned clean sheet versus [[/a/]]. The path to redemption has been cleared for this firebrand player, but only time will tell whether he makes in-roads back into the starting eleven in time for the [[2013 4chan Summer Cup|Summer]].

One of those players was center-forward '''Bearforce'''. Little was made of /hm/'s chances going into the tournament but Bearforce had designs on taking a firm, hairy grip on proceedings.

The match may have been somewhat inconsequential but the memory will likely prove to be lasting. With the new regulations now in place for [[2013 4chan Spring Babby Cup Friendlies|Spring]], Bearforce now has four [[cards]]. S02, S05 and S20 are handy additions to an already maxed-out repertoire, while P12 provides the predatory instinct required to better defences.

Including his pre-resurrection appearances under the name ''Dead Zyzz'', he has amassed a respectable total of 15 career goals.  A hatrick versus [[/vg/]] in the group stage of the [[2013 Winter Cup]] was enough to earn Zyzz a man of the match award, and overall the striker totalled five goals and two assists in four matches during the tournament.  Outfitted with two skillcards and two playstyle cards, S01 and S05 are near-enough standard for any gold player, while P12 and P16 turn Zyzz into a predatory striker ready to pounce on any opportunity. Often scoring in tandem with strike partner Tinytrip, the latter's promotion from silver to gold will hopefully lead to an even more fruitful goalscoring partnership. The goals show no sign of drying up after Zyzz netted as recently as this [[2013 4chan Spring Babby Cup friendlies|Spring's friendlies]] against [[/h/]] and the forward will have sights on motivating /fit/ to make history and earn their first trophy come the [[2013 4chan Summer Cup|Summer]].

With the new regulations he has been promoted to silver standard and now has a new card setup. P08 ensures Haunter is always there when /soc/ need him, covering the entirety of the pitch and never being afraid to make a tackle from deep.

Lacking communication skills on the pitch did not act to the detriment of her performance against [[/u/]] last [[2012 4chan Autumn Babby Cup|Autumn]] when she scored a brace, making her /c/'s top goalscorer for the tournament. A tactical overhaul in Spring 2013 saw Uguu~ move to the current defensive mifield position where she is now run with the P02 and P06 [[cards]], though she is now just a default player having taken a demotion from silver. P02 gives the player the duty of playing in front of the back line as an additional line of defence, while P06 lets Uguu~ carve out attacking chances from deep within her own half. [[2013 4chan Spring Babby Cup|Spring]] has started well for /c/, and while Uguu~ made way for team mate Hanako midway through the second half in the [[2013_4chan_Spring_Babby_Cup_Group_G#.2Fb.2F_v_.2Fc.2F|first group stage match]] against [[/b/]], she was still part of a confident 4-1 win.

Pyramid Head returned also - resplendent in rust and, true to his name, sporting a giant polygonal head. Now pushed to the head of the starting lineup as a gold player, his performances were integral to /x/'s success, scoring the goal versus [[/diy/]] which secured the team's promotion to the [[2013 4chan Summer Cup|Summer Cup]]. His work was by no means done as he scored once versus [[/po/]] in the Round of 16, bagging a hat-trick versus [[/ck/]] in the quarters and scoring again in a semi-final defeat to [[/mlp/]]. Pyramid Head finished joint second in the goalscorer rankings with eight goals. This is a player set up to be a goalscoring machine, playing at the center of an attack with S01, S05, S06 and P12, and measuring over two meters tall to create an aerial threat. Pyramid Head struck fear into his opponents this Spring but whether the Summer elite will fall foul to his prowess is another matter altogether.

[[2013 4chan Spring Babby Cup|Spring]] saw Nipaa head the /f/ attack as a lone striker. To help her on, she was promoted to silver and given three [[cards]].

An [[Dragongate|surprise turn of events]] saw /f/ advance to the Summer Cup in unusual circumstances.

The Blue Bomber's brother was added to the team's ever-fluent roster around the [[2012 4chan Summer Cup|Summer of 2012]] to stand ready at the second line of defense. He is not your typical defender, for he is a silver player equipped with an arsenal of [[cards]]. Lunging Tackle puts his massive boots to the most effective use possible when sliding, while Weighted Pass and Pinpoint Pass allow him to get the ball to faraway teammates with grace and precision. In /v/'s most recent game against [[/tg/]], Protoman took advantage of a corner, heading the ball for /v/'s third goal in the dying minutes of the game. So be careful, opponents of /v/, for Protoman proves there are still heroes left in this team.

Historically he was a silver player who spent most of his time in the midfield enforcing /k/'s defenses. Even then Moist Nugget was a player with higher aspirations, as he broke from the midfield and scored two goals during the [[2012 4chan Autumn Babby Cup Friendlies|2012 Autumn Friendlies]]. The first of these was a literal last-minute goal against [[/gif/]], and then a 37th minute goal against [[/pol/]] the following game. Now a gold under GGSS, Moist Nugget has been reequipped with with a set of [[cards]] more suited to make him well-rounded instead of just a defender. Lunging Tackle and Anchor Man carry on his defensive tradition while Weighted Pass and Long Range Drive makes him an expert at blooting the ball towards either a teammate or the goal, depending on which he sees fit. It seems that /k/'s glory days are behind it now, but fortunes can always change in the [[4chan Cup]], especially considering /k/'s new management which will debut [[2013 4chan Autumn Babby Cup|this Autumn]]. If we're to see improvement in the team, Moist Nugget will surely play a key role.

Install Gentoo was promoted to team captain, a gold player, and to the position of CF in one fell swoop. /g/ was drawn into the decisively difficult [[2013 4chan Summer Cup Group E|Group E]] an unfortunately got relegated, but Install Gentoo went down swinging. The game against [[/m/]] would prove fruitless, but Install Gentoo did slip one goal past [[/jp/]]. In the historic third match, [[/sp/]] would fulfil the bare minimum requirements to avoid relegation, but in another universe /g/ could have easily locked /sp/ out as Install Gentoo repeatedly hammered away at the goal with only DA BURRS's wall-like defense saving the whole team. We will see Install Gentoo again in Autumn, where only a little bit further tweaking could make him and the the rest of /g/ a dangerous force.

[[2013 4chan Autumn Babby Cup Qualifiers|Autumn 2013]] represented the most important time in their short history, fighting for a chance to remain a Babby and possibly remain a living team at all. While manager {{anonymous|Pato}} [http://archive.foolz.us/vg/thread/51433898/#51444465 struggled] to make it to the dugout, Loomis put /ic/ on his back as they earned 2-2 draws against resolute [[/gd/]] and their fellow provisionals, eager [[/e/]]. With three goals and two man of the match awards, Loomis' importance to the side were clear to see. Autumn spelled a seasonal rematch against /diy/, though this one held much more importance than the last. Another goal in another draw ended Loomis' tournament with four goals in as many matches though his side would not advance with only three points. Loomis must reflect during a second quiet Winter, bring things back to basics, and teach /ic/ how to move beyond their sketchy past.

When Boris discovered the 4chan Cup near the beginning of 2013, Dusty saw a chance to seize power and went for it, instructing his “owner” to take up management of any team he was able (in this case, [[/hr/]]) and to also run his unofficial friendlies to show off his technical abilities. Meanwhile, Dusty also contacted {{anonymous|Gracen Ivorinne}} (via email to not expose his feline nature) in negotiations to make {{anonymous|DrBorisG}} the new commissioner. The busy {{anonymous|Gracen}} was impressed and quickly agreed to hand control over, and the rest, as we say, is history. So just remember as you hear Dusty's mews in the background during games that everything is going according to his diabolical plan.

It would seem his performance has impressed /y/ management because in the move to the 2014 seasons he's just received the largest promotion possible, rocketing up from a standard starter to a gold-ranked captain. The results? In their first [[2014 4chan Winter Cup Friendlies|friendly]] of the year against [[/gd/]], Yaranaika scored a goal despite his defender status, but alternatively 3 goals were also scored against /y/. Was Yaranaika too busy trying to score goals to defend? Was /gd/'s offense just that good? [[Pro Evolution Soccer 2014|''PES 14'']] is new territory and its still too early to say. When asked about his performance in the Friendly, Yaranaika simply closed his eyes and gave an expression that implied pure ecstasy.

She is also, however, not a starter, and sits most games out on the bench, but perhaps a recent contribution will change that. /vg/ is a team fallen on desperately hard times, going a full year without a win. In their recent friendly against [[/s4s/]] Chie was on the receiving end of a cross, threading herself through /s4s/'s tight defense and scoring the one goal which finally broke /vg/'s winless streak. /vg/ will play again this Spring in the [[2014 4chan Spring Babby Cup Qualifiers]] qualifying rounds where, perhaps, Chie can help once again and pull her team up into the [[2014 4chan Spring Babby Cup|Babbies]].

It is noteworthy that he does not currently live up to the full potential of a gold-ranked player, using only two out of the four allotted cards, perhaps setting himself as a role-model captain who sacrifices for the good of the team.

Despite /lit/'s disappointing [[2014_4chan_Spring_Babby_Cup_Group_E#.2Fco.2F_v_.2Flit.2F|1-0 loss to /co/]], Exit Level was able to rack up a full 8 saves, more saves than any other /lit/ keeper has ever made in a single match.

Ensor's cards give him a keen eye for rebound shots, and making goals with an abstract flair. The [[2013 4chan Spring Babby Cup|2013 Spring Babby Cup]], his premiere set of games, has without question been a strong debut for Ensor. His rebound goal vs [[/3/]] would be the team's opening goal of the Cup. He then showed [[/g/]] the power of surrealism with a double trollpost assist. Even dubs are art to Esnor, which he splashed right into the net of [[/s4s/]]. Thanks to his efforts /ic/ now move onto their [[2014 4chan Summer Cup|first elite cup appearance]]. Appreciate the man!

Starting off as a medal center midfielder, then demoted to starting center back and later on the bench as a substitute goalkeeper for starter Stephen Hawking. Thorium had been lately living in the shadows of the wheelchair-bound genius but his moment to shine came in the [[2013 4chan Spring Babby Cup|2013 Spring Babby Cup]] against [[/ck/]] by stopping their offense and giving his team a [[2013_4chan_Spring_Babby_Cup_Group_D#.2Fck.2F_v_.2Fsci.2F|1-0 win]]. The [[2013 4chan Autumn Babby Cup|2013 Autumn Babbies]] and the [[2014 4chan Spring Babby Cup|2014 Spring Babbies]] have thrust him into the spotlight as he started all matches of both tournaments, though it wasn't enough to carry his team to the knockout stage. Several questions remain regarding his reliability and his ability to fuel the team. We shall see in the [[2014 4chan Autumn Babby Cup|2014 Autumn Babbies]] if we are truly entering the age of Thorium.

Not the fastest, most stylish, most expensive or talented midfielder, but one look at that face and everyone will understand why Miata is a special player. Only recently Miata became a key figure for the team though. Up until the [[2014 4chan Spring Babby Cup|2014 Spring Babby Cup]], Miata took on a fairly invisible role in the defensive end. He always did his job in the back but was rarely decisive for the team. Perhaps considered the cute team mascot instead of a future powerhouse on offense. After an unexplained growth spurt, with Miata growing nearly 20 centimeters in a couple of months, came a new position up front.  Miata feels good in his new role as a key player, as evident by his everlasting smile. Is he kawaii yet? Yes he is. Has he scored yet? Sadly not, but he surely will in the [[2014 4chan Autumn Babby Cup|2014 Autumn Babby Cup]].

Neither she nor the rest of her team saw much success in those early days, but in [[2013 4chan Spring Babby Cup|Spring 2013]] she was moved into a second striker position as well as the face of /hr/ as its captain. Since then she and her partner, Taylor Swift, have been an impressive offensive duo. With 23 goals, Emma is also /hr/'s leading striker. Despite a third-place run [[2013 4chan Autumn Babby Cup|last Autumn]], as well as surviving the first Megababby, /hr/ was thought of an underdog going into this recent Summer Cup. It just so happened /hr/ was drawn against 3 weeb boards in [[2014 4chan Summer Cup Group F|Group F]], and Emma Watson embarked on a crusade to kill all of them. She first scored one of three goals on [[/cgl/]], and then scored the one goal which would eventually relegate the mighty [[/a/]]. Only [[/u/]] would survive her wrath. In the semi-finals against /h/ Emma scored a long-range free kick goal which also killed the last weeb team of the Summer Cup. Though it was [[/mu/]] who claimed the trophy, the success of /hr/ and Emma Watson this cup is undeniable. Emma Watson will now spend the next six months standing tall and proud, watching steadfastly for the next wave of weebs who will try to claim a [[4chan Cup]].

As a [[Fifth Founding]] team /gd/ is among the youngest teams of the cup. So while their scar thus far may not be long, it has certainly become deep, and Kerning most often is the one holding the scalpel. As /gd/ has frequently been a team which stacks the defense, Kerning is often with minimal support at the forefront as the team's center forward. He is prepared for this situation with cards such as Speeding Bullet and First-Time Shot. With 19 career goals he is /gd/'s most prolific scorer, and while many of those goals were in draws or losses, /gd/'s short history boasts some upsets as well. These include a [[2014 4chan Winter Cup Friendlies|Winter Friendly]] win over [[/lgbt/]] and a [[2014 4chan Summer Cup Friendlies|Summer Friendly]] 5-2 win over [[/po/]], their biggest victory yet, but not their biggest upset. That happened on the last day of [[2014 4chan Summer Cup Group A|Group A]]'s games. /sp/ and /gd/ both were fighting for survival, but /sp/ coming in as the clear favorite. They held each other to a draw for the first 80 minutes until Kerning plunked a goal in from the side of the net, and teammate Glitch Art added insult to injury just 6 minutes later. /sp/, for the first time ever, would be forced into the [[2014 4chan Autumn Babby Cup|Babbies]]. /gd/'s run to the cup was [[2014_4chan_Summer_Cup_knockout_stage#.2Fan.2F_v_.2Fgd.2F|halted]] in the Ro16, but Kerning left behind a smoking crater that used to be /sp/'s [[Elite]] status, something which will now be remembered forever in [[4chan Cup]] history.

Build: 180cm, 66kg
Player Skills: S03, S08, S12, S14, S16, S26
Playing Style: Box to Box
Germany was having trouble, what a sad, sad story

Needed a new leader to restore its former glory

Where, oh, where was he? Where could that man be?

We looked around -- and then we found -- the man for you and me!

...in any case, it may not be springtime, but /pol/ is back! And there's no better striker to herald the return of a /pol/arizing stalwart than the Führer himself. After all, at a time where Moonman was too busy leading right-wing death squads to sniff out undesirables in the locker rooms, and Alex Jones was too busy being addled by the chemicals in the water to shoot on target, who persevered and brought home the trophy for /pol/?

Natürlich niemand anderes als der Führer.

Behind Hitler all /pol/ follows.

Before him, the Winter Cup, and tomorrow, the world.
