When you look at the statistics for /drg/, it just doesn't make sense. Striker HOPE is, despite missing several leagues, the best striker in the League. But it's not just a one-man show. DESPAIR, the other star striker for /drg/ leads the League in assists. Combined, they are the single-most dangerous duo in the League. But that's still not all! Long time goalkeeper and ace in the net Sore wa Chigau Yo! leads the league in Saves.
No one denies they are perhaps the statistically best team to ever take the pitch in the /vg/ League. When Hope, Despair, Monokuma, Sore wa Chigau Yo! and others step on the field, the /drg/ faithful are filled with hope. They know their team and they know their team is damn good.
But there's something missing on the other side of that hope. The most despair-inducing, most awful, tragic event in the /vg/ League: there's still no star to adorn the Hope's Peak Academy crest that the team calls its badge. The closest they ever came was a /vg/ League 13 final lost to /lzg/, and they've been chasing that high ever since.
Despite the pain of losing a Final, despite the pain of playing amazingly time and time again to no avail, /drg/ keeps moving forward - this time having revived from what many assumed to be a permanent end, to return and "win" the /vg/ League 24 Qualifiers and hope won't stop there.
