As was the fate of all teams a {{tt|future commissioner helmed|see: Boris and /hr/, Lear and /w/}}, /u/'s early history was crash-and-burn -- only qualifying for their first Elite Cup by virtue of Dragongate's upheaval. But once Elite, /u/ would stay there. {{tt|Occasional sojourns|Spring 14 and 17, Autumn 16}} into the Babbies aside, /u/ began to build a reputation as the strongest team, bar none, to never have won a star. Until [[2016 4chan Winter Cup|Winter 2016]], it had been said that /u/ was cursed never to win a quarter-final -- and there, they lost in a final to [[/fit/]]. They would make the final again, a year and a half later -- only to lose, again, this time to a resurgent [[/lgbt/]]. And so the chants of "c/u/rsed" continued -- and worse, cup superstition had by then come to associate /u/ with a graver curse: that of meeting [[/mlp/]] in the group stage, an ill omen that twice lead the dreaded horsefuckers to a star.

In a stunning show, /u/ once again marched to the final, crushing [[/co/]], [[/sci/]], [[/n/]] -- and, yes, /mlp/ -- along the way. The gears of destiny, however, would move mighty and nigh-inexorable as on the other side /mlp/ returned to an Elite final, here to claim once more what seemed all but their third star -- and the match to follow was as much a defiance of fate as it was one for the record books. A tactical duel marked by /u/'s desperate defense against an all-out /mlp/ assault, /u/ would nonetheless take the lead thrice on their precise and deadly play, only to be denied straight victory at the last second by the invocation of /mlp/'s most eldritch spell: a cheeky stoppage goal to send an Elite final to penalties for the first time.
 
Call it a miracle, call it a script, call it whatever you like -- but ten kicks later, /u/ emerged victorious, and now, at last, they stand at the pinnacle of the 4chan Cup as living proof of one thing, and one thing only: it is love, pure love, that conquers all.

When Rigmaster Germanbro created the Cup, he knew that by nature, its teams could not be made equal. Not that this has stopped some teams from bitching about the longstanding nature of their "suffering".

But precious few teams can lay claim to real suffering, and precious fewer take it in quiet stride like /n/. One of three teams at the center of Dragongate, it was arguably /n/ that emerged from the scandal with the most to prove—a challenge they answered by subsequently crashing out of two Babbies in a row. Though the next Autumn's 4th place finish seemed to offer a glimmer of hope anew, it instead kicked off a chain of distilled suffering unlike any ever seen: the most Wooden Spoon finishes in Cup history, yo-yoing on a scale that would make even /vp/ blush, and an uncanny knack for near misses galore. It is in spite of this history that /n/ continues to stand tall and steadfast, earning a reputation both for live-management instinct and custom aesthetics both as killer as they come. And now, for once, Lady Luck appears to be smiling on /n/, who not only are the current holders of the coveted Third Place Trophy, but one of the scant few teams to escape its curse.

Cup storylines can change for the better, a statement for which /n/ is both inspiration and living proof. Keep on trucking. Or biking. Or whatever mode of transportation suits you best.
