GET FUCKED /mlp/
SEE YOU IN SPRING SO YOU CAN GET RELEGATED TO FETUS
st for actual reason we lost was because Best Pony was purple and thus shit, and because we went defensive from the start.
>>29508343
rude!
OUT YOU GO
Did we really need 4 active threads at the same time?
Don't be sad /mlp/. It was better than nothing.
I BELIEVE
WE WILL RETURN
WE WILL MEME OUR WAY BACK TO THE TOP
no three stars
Sacked in the morning
Why have managers if they wait to have their changes implemented in 75 when we were down since 30?

It's so much fun being the villain. Hold your heads high, folks, not only to we get an extra dose of pony divegrass, we still have our TWO. STARS.
>>29508369
>no goals
>better than nothing
Oh well. Can't win all the time. At least we had fun.
HAHAHAHAHAH GET FUCKED
In a way I actually don't mind
Had we won our 3rd star here we'd literally be kicked out of the cup. At least this way we've got a comeback run in us.I.. i don't want to watch a babby though ;_;
Even though we lost, it's fun to see that everyone else is so buttblasted that we exist that they have to spam our board. We still have the high ground boys, you can take our game but you can't take our memedom.

So managers.... Did we just set up that other preset for fun? WHAT THE FUCK NIGGERS.

TO THE GLUE FACTORY
When our next game now?
>>29508369
Thanks /v/
You know, it's been fun. Winning Two Stars has actually eased me up on the Cup. I can actually enjoy some of the bants being thrown out way. Props to /mu/, they shut us, the former champs completely down. Appreciate the victory anthem too. You're cool guys.
Rooting for [s4s] now I think. Go keksandra!
>>29508469
He's meming that 3 elite victories for one team would kill the fun.
>MFW MLP WINS THE BABBY CUP
>>29508477
>well if youd stop spamming the vg thread with endless smug shit you wouldnt be hated
hahahaahaha, yeah right
>>29508479
April/May?
Sad times, lads. We tested hard, we were confident in our tactics, but in the end it wasn't good enough.
We're really happy that everyone came out to get hype and cheer us on, we're glad this team has such a passionate and caring fanbase win or lose, and we're sorry we couldn't bring you home a better result this cup. Thank you all for being here.
Stay tuned. It's been a while since we've seen the Babbies but we'll bring our A game.Everything is gonna be just fine.
>>29508469
The idea is that people would actually start hating us, instead of the bantz we deal with now. It wouldn't be fun to play if one team dominated everything.
>>29508477
>literally everyone, including official commentators, shit on /mlp/ at all times ceaselessly
>haha get humbled /mlp/
you cant constantly tell a team theyre a piece of shit and then tell them to be humble, fampai. /mlp/ is probably the most easy-going team in the cup all things considered.
>b-but we have two stars ;_;
PFTCHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
YALL SALTY AS FUCK
>>29508469
The second star almost murdered the up.
>>29508412
They really shit the bed this cup. They didn't take any of the matches seriously.
It's fine guys. We're gonna come back and kick their asses! We will take the summer cup again!
>>29508479
Spring...
/mu/tant here, thanks for the great matchyou fucking degenerates
>>29508477
There is literally no condition under which /mlp/ wouldn't be hated. Even on days /mlp/ isn't playing, /4ccg/ will spontaneously generate discussion, and then hatred, of /mlp/
>>29508496
We had fun and that's all that matters
Girl = /mlp/
Mirror = Relegation
Glasses = 2 Stars
>>29508496
I think it is for the best that we get humbled a bit.
>>29508469
That's not it, but were you here when we won our 2nd Star?
The shitposting was immense, Boris considered retiring, people hated us and were calling for our release then. 3 Stars would murder the cup
>>29508469
People actually buying /4cc/'s bullshit because of the amount of times we would have won
We will come back and we will rape them!
>>29508520

I came here just to laugh at you horsefuckers

>>29508369
It was pretty boring after the first goal desu
We did awful this time
>>29508520
yae but what countries spring?
>>29508496
Maybe make changes once in a while. Might as well have played on autopilot this cup.
Can I be FUCKING real for a second?
This community is fucking atrocious right now. You're all acting like a bunch of whiny, entitled little babies.
A tiny group of people made an entire team for you to watch. They made it for YOU, and they're going to wake up tomorrow morning and see that instead of enjoying it, this community of "fans" picked out the 3 or 4 things that weren't perfect and are using that to fucking riot.
Guess what? The match was never going to be perfect. It was never going to live up to your hype. It was never going to be everything you'd ever want in a game.
What it WAS going to be was an impossibly big board filled with mysteries and cartoon horses. I just lurked it for 2 hours and it was exactly that. What more do you want?
Is it autistic? Sure. Is it repetitive? Maybe. Is the team imperfect and the managers questionable and the structure unclear? Sure, fine.
But holy shit what do these people OWE YOU?
How fucking entitled do you have to be to watch a virtual divegrass on Hitbox and then say "yeah but..."
We should all be fucking weeping in our chairs right now at the sheer size and scale of the achievement. We should be showering the people behind this thing with the praise they deserve for pulling off one of the most inspiring games in recent memory.
/mlp/ management doesn't owe you the win. Yet they gave you 18 QUINTILLION of them.
If you have the fucking audacity to complain about it then you don't deserve it and you were never fans in the first place.
>>29508522
It was shit. You won big, my man. GG, you deserve it.;_;
>>29508507
Unless you win a second star, you're just having idiot's luck.
We run this shit, anon.

>>29508496
tell me how many tactics work where you, "just leddit ride" after being down by 2 before the half and come back? You guys did nothing. I'm not angry we lost. I'm angry that you guys didn't call for any changes and just threw the game away
>>29508522
Thanks
Nice offence, wish ours was on par with yours this match
>>29508392

>>29508546

We get to see our team play again sooner, you're forever overrun with weeb teams. Who's the real winner here?

>>29508461
>m-muh two stars
>s-salty /)
the only reason why you annoying fucktwats don't post on other boards is because you'd literally get banned if you did.
You still shit up /4ccg/ with horseporn from time to time though, so that's not entirely true either.
>being BTFO this hard
Oh well, it was fair and square. Deserved relegation on deserved loss. Time to meet 2 other elite champions in Spring. Preferably without Twilight as medal, since she choked 3 shots out of 5 that >we had. Good luck further /mu/, you're gonna need it when you meet /asp/ on their way to an overdue star.
We played so much better on Preset 1 than on Preset 2.
Even in the opening minutes we got our first shot on Preset 1 and then after we switched to Preset 2 we were doing nothing but defend
Still hard to believe we're out though. Managers don't beat yourself up too much about it. Please.
Thanks to our managers. You guys did great. We didn't win but the amount of work you all put into this really shines. Good luck in the Spring!
>>29508534
Don't cry Rarafag, that's only giving them what they want. So long as we continue to man the salt mine, we will have won anyway by default.
>>29508496
>tested hard

Son you need to work on your sales pitch because I ain't buying that bullshit.
It was too soon, it was never meant to be. We still have waifus that love us, cute pone and horse pussy. All is not lost.TWO STARS
>>29508477
It's okay dude, one day your team will stop being badnot really, your team a shit.
>>29508545
>/a/
when did you win a star the last time again?
>>29508560
I'm stealing this copypasta
We can still get 3 stars before somebody else gets 2
We can have our revenge!
>>29508327
>we'll be playing in a non-Boris hosted cup
Okay guys it's time we open a serious dialogue about current controversy concerning /mlp/, and the board's terrible behavior during the entire debacle.
/mlp/ team was created by a small group of people called the /mlp/ council. They poured their hearts and souls into it, and despite numerous hardships such as losing the entire cup and having to start over from babbies, it has finally been a victory. And it is amazing. Despite coming for such small team, it blows many BIG MARKET teams straight out of the water.
However, it seems that some idiots expected based on some cups years ago that the game would have real time management. Newsflash: tactics change during tests, some sliders get changed, others not. Despite clearly being advertised a THE premiere team for months, BGP was accused of being a liar. Just because of one vague offhand comment in 2 year old thread. What followed was perhaps the biggest temper tantrum in the history of the cup, and certainly the most unfounded.
The vicious attacks on BGP and /mlp/ makes me physically ill and ashamed to call myself a brony.
What many of you don't understand is that you aren't just hurting BGP. You aren't just hurting /mlp/ team. You are hurting cup as a whole, and thus the whole pony community. If /mlp/ bombs because of this horribly misguided onslaught of mismanagement and hate, it will hurt the viability of /mlp/ to be taken seriously as full fledged team that can stand side by side with BIG MARKET teams. You will kill any hope of games being anything more than soulless embarrassing losses forever.
I hope you truly think about the ramifications of your actions and stop this while you still can. This team deserve our support.
You sensationalists who are screaming "liar" and accusing anyone not grabbing a pitchfork as being a part of a circle jerk are an embarrassment to the cup community. You're the reason so many have called this board toxic for so long.
I feel sick writing this.
>>29508525
Top lad, if you're bootyblasted go watch Buckball Season again lads
>>29508512

Come on guys, we don't need our third star right now. We can wait and celebrate later
>>29508564
who cares? we got 2 stars and you don't
When can we sack the dumbfucks who set it to preset 2 for the majority of the game.

>>29508601
boris doesnt like us anymore. didnt you hear just how fucking tickled pink he was when we lost? you could hear it in his voice.
We were not relegated because of our performance.
We were relegated because we were cheated out.
Remember the first game? The one we drew? The one that was RIGGED against us by having the wrong difficulty. Yeah, that's why we were relegated. They did not replay the game fairly for us. They call us the cheats, but we are not the cheats. We are the victims of cheats. We are not going to take this lying down. We are going to rise up and take back our rightful position in the knockouts. We only demand fairness and they spit on us instead. Well, that ends now.
All members of /merit/, /aesco/ and miscellaneous cup staff associated with /mlp/, I implore you to boycott. Let's hit them where it hurts.

Eh, all is good mates, we lost this one as we've lost before, and we'll win more things in the future. Don't be too hard on the managers, they can't rig the matches, y'know.

Pretty sure false flag. Difficulty doesn't impact AI vs. AI.
No amount of /tictacgenes/ would've saved us from the abhorrent performances from individual players today. We merely got PES'd at a very bad time.
>>29508626
This got a chuckle from me, kind of sums up this cup for us.
We're literally hosting too
>>29508628

We'll definitely do.

A little struggle builds character. Winning all the time gets boring. Now we have a new task: crawl out from the bog and take back our rightful place.
This is just the begining of a satifying come back that is sure to come. We will make it.

Are you serious guys? If you expected this team to play properly than maybe this team isn't for you. /mlp/ was never about playing properly, idk where people got this from. Maybe you should lower your expectations, because for me this is exactly what I wanted.
>>29508496
Thanks for trying. Don't worry too much, I'm sure you guys did your best.

>>29508631
Show me one fucking game where you use the same tactics when you are TWO down and come back. One down. Sure, but after our abysmal offence not getting enough support for 40 fucking minutes with no calls being made. No changes. Nothing. When your offense can't even make it to the box, that isn't PES that's your fucking tactics not working
As said very aptly in the stream: We are all mortal.
Nobody can afford to become complacent. But we'll return, we always do. And next time we'll have our shit together.
>>29508477
We are smug, but we earn that right. Even when /mlp/ was a nobody team before spring 2013, we got shit on all the time. We get shit on by the commissioner, we get shit on by the commentators, we get shit on by every other manager whether we win or lose.
There is no situation in which /mlp/ is an existing board that other boards won't talk shit about /mlp/, don't lie to yourself. Our mere existence creates salt.
>>29508522
I'll be rooting for you guys
>>29508522
Thanks mate, it was a geniuneley good match. Tense until the end.
this wouldn't have happened if Tony still let us have the nightly exports
>>29508634
I unironically love the /soc/ and /e/ music, they are the hypest.
>>29508637
Our second star happened on his watch, and the reaction from /4ccg/ was so caustic he seriously considered leaving this shit behind for good.
He has all the reason in the world to not like us.
>>29508634
/int/ I guess
So we got one rookie manager saying "lol tests" and that's it? What was up with the live managing this cup?
Look on the bright side of this; at least we have a chance of going against /pol/.
>>29508730
he shouldnt base his feelings on us by the autism other toxic viewers have
>>29508693
funny thatit was autism that relegated you jp hype
it wont change anything, youll still shit up the threads, just take your bantz on the loss
>>29508496
Thanks for the work. I personally hoped the team could stay in the Elites to spare you guys the need to manage even more Cups in a year, but so be it.
I did feel like seeing every goal into the box from the side get intercepted would be an indicator to change things earlier, but in the end, I don't know enough.
There's more to virtual divegrass than just winning
>>29508637
the fact that he hates us makes it all that more entertaining when we win
being the villain is fun
So, /f/ or /c/?I'm for /f/
Guys, we obviously did this deliberately. The cup's no fun for everyone else if we always win it, so we decided to let someone else win this year, and go make more friends in the Babbys!
>>29508712
Remember, the transition to PES 2017 was also pretty recent so people are still figuring out the quirks. If you honestly think you can do better, then join up and help test/offer to manage.

I always laugh at how bad /a/nime is. Even when I'm not on the board!
Think the new PES affected our odds much?
Were the managers just not able to crack it open?

Good game man, you bloody shut us down. Really appreciate the victory horn too
>>29508735
I do feel that in order to get back, someone has to step up on live managing.
Live managing is what won Summer 2016.

I'm not sure how I'm managing to find joy in a time like this. Cup losses usually crush me and this time we're literally going back to a babby.
I think Two Stars might have actually set me for life. They were both glorious in their own ways and I always enjoy our matches too. We're still hosting this one lads.
>>29508753
Good luck with your other matches!

So I don't pay attention to this shit. How do they determine how the shit works? On the wiki it says both /mlp/ and /jp/ have 4 points, do they just flip a coin or something?
>>29508907
Friendo, please let go of it. I'm asking you politely. This isn't going to end well for anyone.
>>29508496
>revealing the way you do your testing
Anyway I had fun. Thanks.
>>29508460
Fuck off. Giving up a third star doesn't mean you have to get relegated to do it.
Yeah, but, lets be honestThat Dreaming of Horses song was pretty patrician
>>29508900
It's the ironic kind of good. Half of it is dogshit and half of it is actually really pleasant to listen to. I may not frequent your board but I've been a few times and some of the reccommendations have been surprisingly great.
>>29508907
Go back to the /vg/ thread if you want to troll people, anon.
If you're new to this team, rigging happens, and we're better than bitching about it when we lose.
>>29508905
Thanks love, appreciate it
>>29508860
It's because one star can be passed off as "lel fluke wins". Two stars shows consistency and presents us as an actual villain.
>>29508872
Honestly, both the fact that /mlp/ used to be the laughingstock of the 4CC and my experience with >real sports has led me to never assume anything's a given and be ready for loss.
It happens, and the worst thing we could do is try to make decisions about our future while all hopped up on emotion.
We fetus next babby. Calling it now.
I was just memeing guys, I'm sorry

Surprisingly a lot less salt about relegating /mlp/ in stream at least
I'm glad we in the furry community are taking this loss so positively :)
Never forget lads, 2 years ago we'd just come back from a babbies and didn't have a single star. How quickly things can change.
>>29508994
This is just what happens sometimes, we lost fair and square.

>>29508980

There are literally no downsides to this outcome. We always win in the end, brothers.
>>29508999
They're probably happy they can fully have fun now that the villains are gone. Any team will be an okay one to be hype for.
>>29508994
partially, but mostly its our fault. when we couldnt even make it past midfield we should have changed tactics, and i dont think we got a single real shot at a goal.

As I was saying, it's clear that we were either okay playing a defensive game, or we were pissing our panties in nervousness. Comments, managers?

The only reason I'm not REEEEing is because at least I'm not a c/u/ck.
Who /depressed/ here?
Best Pony did horrible today. She fucked up nearly every time she got the ball. What a time to get a purple condition. The other medals weren't doing too well either. Too many blind lofted passes, no dangerous direct passes at all. /mu/ on the other hand had countless dangerous direct passes. We had to get bailed out by the defense so often. It was just a matter of time before we conceded.
This cup is basically the complete opposite of summer. We were in a bad position and needed a miracle to advance then, and we were in a comfortable position and needed a disaster to get relegated now.
I hope the team identifies the issues and takes them as lessons learned for Spring.
>>29509104
Good luck /int/, never been to your board but you're chill if you supported both /an/ and /mlp/.
>>29509107
That's called not being a sore loser. You'd have complained either way.
>>29509088
Nigga, that's not the first time that's happened when we've lost or been relegated. We're the villains that everyone in the cup hates. Suck it up buttercup, we'll get through this as we've seen the highest highs and lowest lows.

I'm glad that there's still some surprises in the Cup, we can't win everything.
4CC is for fun, and we've had a good game.
>>29509104
Thanks Anon.
>>29509119
I'm curious what the managers will say about the match when they catch their breath and collect themselves. They've got to have some kind of thoughts and commentary on how things turned out apart from apologizing to the board.
>>29508605
>makes me physically ill

Just stay strong and keep trying. That's all anyone could ask of you, dude.
>>29509088
>boo hoo why does everyone hate us
you're not wanted here. Get it in your head already.
>>29509125
Yeah obviously. The point is that it's not abnormal for fans of a team to stop watching a championship when their team gets their ass handed to them.
>>29509104
Thanks a lot /int/
>>29509119
I feel that whoever was calling the shots with live managing got overwhelmed. Which is okay, since the purpose of the Babbys is to git gud again. But it was clear from the start that what we brought wasn't working.
Do we have chain-of-command issues? It sounded like no particular person was in charge.
>>29509119
when i saw the good odds i had the feeling that we would choke in some way
this feeling of dread is momentary, the real damage is losing your hope, which takes longer to recover
>>29509119
I personally am not really salty, a tad disappointed, I'd prefer to have been knocked out rather than relegated, but honesty yeah, /mu/ played the better game and stopped our offensive capability. It was a fun run, time to root for other teams!
>>29508792
We will retire once we have 3 stars.
>>29509158
Fuck off already, /hsg/.
>>29509119
Shit sucks, but it's not the first time we've been to the Babbys. Hell, Summer 2014 we sucked so hard even a completely rigged game against us didn't matter. Have faith in the managers, they've pulled us to 2 stars. Sit back and enjoy the rest of the cup worry free and look forward to Spring.
>>29509104
I just want non-weeb boards to advance because 99% of them are the same
>>29509164

>>29509104
/int/ is my 2nd home board anyway. You go and get that star
It has to be /o/'s year, they deserve this after we stole away a victory from them last summer.
>>29509119
It's a new manager playing a new iteration of this game. We're ALL identifying issues. /jp/ and /mu/ identified issues faster than we did. It happens. At least now we have another official tournament, however much smaller, to keep tuning rather than be under constant Elite pressure.
>>29509174
>implying SpookyBowl II was rigged against us, not just >1.12
>>29509164
This.
From the outside, management felt unorganized and indecisive.
>>29509119
>Not wanting to see us play in 3 months now instead of 6
Better question tho.
Any leaks about what we have planned for the wooden spoon and final boss matches? I know we demonized the stadium last year, and I'm hoping for something new.

>>29509119
Nah, Viper was just too good.
>>29509182
BTW, that's not a vote of no-confidence at all in the managers. Everybody fucks up. We live and learn from our mistakes.
Is /c/ having a card collection
>>29509119
Not really depressed just indifferent, more so when the only manager post we got was "We tested really hard and were confident in our tactics!"
Yeah that 2-0 loss speaks volumes about the amount of testing you did and the tactics.
Gonna need something a whole lot more than that bullshit.

>>29509211
Can't even make a Yu-Gi-Oh joke...
>>29509202
This, the better team won. It's unfortunate if you count yourself a fan of /mlp/ in this particular instance, but in general it's the preferred result as far as I'm concerned.
>>29509119
Honestly my wave of disappointment has already passed. I really don't understand it, but I feel like I can watch the rest of this cup fine when usually it'd throw off the weekend for me.
It was really crushing when it happened, I couldn't really believe it, but reading the threads, seeing cute Pones and people just generally being cool with each other as well as the bants headed our way, I guess it just quelled immediately. It is crushing, but really it had to happen. We're already quite OP, let the rest of the 4cc have their fun.
All that said, I think it is important to actually discuss our teams performance in the game. Our Medals didn't really perform despite the conditions and preset 2 did us no favours the entire game. Preset 1 was far better and was also how we got our attack in the first half. I'm not sure what it wad, /mu/ did play well, but our work in the final 3rd was very poor.
Fun match.
Now it's time for /int/ to win
We lost huh?
Guess our luck couldn't hold forever. I'm just happy we got as far as we did.
>>29509193
>a max of 4 games now and then 6 months later or a min of 3 and a max of 7 in 3 months
Naw
So if /int/ wins now they will advance while burying /c/ right?
>>29509119
I think the /mlp/ management relies a bit too much on testing. When it comes to live managing it doesn't matter how many people we have, only one can livemanage. We don't have the knowledge, so I cannot understand, why we didn't change to be more offensive. I almost feel how we are lacking flexibility. Did we not have a preset with a 77 SS, and was it used? If PES decides that we concede goals, might as well go for a goal-trading strat.
>>29509164
Live managing didn't get overwhelmed. There was a slight confusion when changing tactics that got cleared up before they even came to play. There was a prepared contingency plan, but it didn't work as everyone expected it to.
>>29509213
I'll be giving them some time to address our questions. They're probably more bummed than we are.
Though, I will give some of the past managers credit: despite being a dick, BGP was always really quick about responding to questions, and I appreciated that of him.
>>29508640

>>29508496
No need to feel down lad. If you've watched the cup for long enough you'll know that good teams DO eventually get relegated. It doesn't matter how hard you test or how good the tic tacs are sometimes PES is just PES.
We made it through Winter 2016 by the skin of our teeth and then went on to win the next cup.
Don't worry we'll be back.
>>29508496
Thanks for all of the hard work and know that the board is behind /clop/ all the way come win, draw, or loss.
Lets go /int/
Just...tone down on your shitposting a bit will you...
>>29508496
You know what. Changes are good. Good or bad. Right now /mlp/ was in stable (pun intended) position in Elites. Now we go to Babies, which I am not so sad about because it will finlaly give us a new opponents to play against. So any way it goes from here I am with you guys. To the end. Learn from your and other team mistakes.
>posting in the right thread
There's not much to say, unfortunately, but I'll try to elaborate.
Everyone prepared as hard for this match as each before it. If there was a time any team could pull our number this would be it. /mu/ has a great team set up and they were on their game to a point. No batch of preparation goes 100%. Even if we were to guess /mu/'s setup exactly there's still a noticeable chance to lose. We had several directions to go and had to choose. There is no goal switch to flip and you can screw up any good form setup by changing components at the first perceived sign of trouble (which may or may not be there). Sometimes, nothing works. That's just how it goes.
While it's disappointing now, we'll have another go for Spring and on and on. I appreciate beyond words all the support we've received and I hope everyone will be back more.
Is PES giving our more cards this season or is it always this bad?

Oh, so there was no live managing. Just context-less contingencies.

PES hasn't given out cards like this since PES13. It's maybe even worse.
>>29509286
Hush.
KEK
>>29509278
Refs were completely ineffectual in 16, so people loaded their players up with aggressive cards and used aggressive tactics because they could.
In 17, refs are a lot stricter and people's aggression hasn't been toned down to reflect that.

You guys used to switch presets more frequently. This time you were much more reluctant. Why the change in attitude?
>>29509263
Man, I had to look the game up and only the fact that /gd/'s two goals came in Extra Time brought back really vague memories
Don't know why I just don't recall that very well and it was only a year ago

And the bright side is seeing us play in 3 month and bringing our cancer to the Babby now.

>>29509339
>Blenders
This is long before blenders were a thing, these are just recolours of the default player models.
We're all gonna make it brahs.
I've been through everything here. I've seen us win two elites twice and I've seen us get relegated twice. But now is the time to regroup, establish some greater structure and focus and just move on with it. It just didn't work for us this time, but that is the nature of the beast that is PES. Sometimes you just play like crap despite decent results in testing, but I won't sit around and damage control. We know the problems and should have been handled better, and as I've said we'll move forward after rethinking and regrouping.
I'm disappointed that the first cup for our new guys had to be this one, but then my first cup was the same. Summer 14. But I joined /mlp/ in the first place in the hopes of seeing us win our first star. But I hope this time I can see the new additions after Summer 16 to great results in the future.
>>29509356
False, that goes to /u/ and /m/.
>>29509276
Do you feel that the general tictacs were wrong, or the players weren't designed to keep choking to a minimum, or did we get PES'd at our earliest inconvenience?
>>29509339
Doesn't matter, that cup was great
>>29509329
gonna root for /int/
>>29509119
Keep your head high, fellow horse fucker.
Today was a tragic defeat, and one that the 4ccg will hold against us for a while.
But are /mlp/. We are the life of this entire cup. We made Stallman score our goal winning us our first star back in Summer 2015. We stopped /o/ from making it their year in Summer 2016, after being defeated by them in the knockout rounds, and won our second star. And if we can win one Babby we can win another just as easily.
I'm confident all will be well soon.
>>29509329

>>29509288
Context is what we all see playing out. That's what we prepare for and make adjustments too. It's easy when everyone sees the same pattern playing out. It's harder when different conclusions come up.

I'd say /vr/ are tops.

You're a cool dude. I love you managers. ~I appreciate that you appreciate the kind words, sometimes it's not easy to tell what you do and don't read
Think Preset 1 worked better but that's only easy to say in Retrospect.
Good effort man, we did well really, the odds were even in our favour but it just wasn't to be. In a way it's good, at least we can stay in the Cup.Managers sure do have a habit of posting in the wrong threads though, don't they?

>>29509372
There is no 100%. You can have the absolute right setup and PES just says 'no'. Having players choke shots make it frustrating, was it the choke or bad setup?

True it isn't, but it definitely increases your chances. In this one circumstance we didn't have it. In all circumstanes, we have two stars.
You're correct in saying that it isn't always about that in individual situation, but overall, it's everything.

>>29509353
Yeah there is, are you having a stroke?
A plan made days in advance and followed to the letter will never be enough. It doesn't take into account how the game is actually going, just how the game is supposed to be going according to the plan.
That's really simple shit.
>>29509393
I had a feeling something like this would come eventually, after our year of success winning two stars. But once we've had a good think we'll have more games and more hyp coming quite soon in Spring. It's not that long off at all when you think about it. I really enjoyed Autumn 2014, even if it was a babby. I hope fans don't lose heart over this. We've been through this before. We'll be back with focus, structure and even more dedication than before. When you've been through this sort of thing before, as well as successes, it kind of hardens you and brings you back into focus.
>>29509450
don't taunt before the match is over m8
>>29509382
Autistic idea: Invent some formulas and scores for every tactical change: If behind in score = offensive preset = Y - X (X = minutes left in game). So late in the game, the offensive preset gets a higher score than the defensive. The actual value for the variables has to be determined during the tests.
>>29509456
You don't belong in /mlp/.
>>29509450
I really wouldn't mind seeing /sp/ finally get a legit second star. Shitstorming /sp/ is best /sp/, and your fans are as loud as ours when it matters.
>>29509421
Luck is a vital component to all success in the cup. tactics and testing are also vital.

Thanks as always to our managers and testers. Though it wasn't meant to be this time around, the work you guys do is still very much appreciated. Win or lose, the cup always brings the board together, something which—especially after five years—is always heartening to see. Remember to be gracious in defeat, and stick around to watch the rest of the matches and give your support to other boards. See you all in a few months!

making custom bodies that actually animate propperly in PES is actually really hard. it took months of work by talented people to make those full custom anime bodies work.
So yes a team of generic anime human bodies is very very impressive.
same though to a lesser degree with Scruffy. Older full body mods like Cardboard and Shin Getter Robo were rigid shapes assembled together with little bendy bits. making more curvy shaped body models act right is very hard.

/sp/: I go there for my handegg fill

/asp/ have been my main team since /mlp/ finally got a star. 2 stars was a bit of a flick in the tits for me, but... you know, sometimes that can be kinky, so I made do and enjoyed it. Still got the wrasslemen as my top pick now, and since mulp are out, they're my one true hope for a win.
/v/ are my second pick... because I'll admit to being one of the 5 people that like /v/...
I have my reasons!
[s4s] next, cause they're a nice team, and I think them advancing with /asp/ would be fucking lovely.
Then /vr/. Im loving them more lately. Started a few cups ago, they're just getting better.
And for my 5th, gotta go with /gd/. God damn that team grows on you.
Never been to the board for any reason, but fuck their team is something special.

Tell me anon. Do you actually live in Texas or have you been a fan of them for more than 1 year? Because if you answer yes to either of them, then we're all good. If you said no to both of those, you frustrate me.
YEEEEES
COME ON /INT/
Pffffft.
go /int/!
BUILD WALL
How have they copied the formation?
This is a full meme match
NICE PARKBUSSING LADS
That was beautiful, /int/
CONGRATS /INT/!

>>29509836
Is that a preset formation? How come they both had the same one
>>29509848
Rigged
>That fucking game
>>29509823
Yes to both
>>29509848
They both probably had the same idea with how to go "defensive"
Nice match 2-2. /mlp/-tier /int/ was great.
I'm convinced Smugleaf knows the meme and made this a draw through his meme formation.
Thank fuck though, Smugleaf's a lovable meme and /int/ deserve this.
Based /int/
That was glorious. /gd/ really shouldn't have gone full offensive but it gave us a nice comeback. A fucking leaf choking every attack and then finally putting one in, the ultimate /gd/ choke and then the equaliser
Congrats /int/
The fact that so many people have come here just in smear it in that we lost fills me with such a joy that it's hard to describe. No one would care if it wasn't for the fact we are so loathed yet keep on trying hard to win. We stick with our team and have a zeal for it and hated for it. I know we'll be back and we we do they'll make a scene over it. When we win again they will be furious over it. /mlp/ will keep cheering on our team.
Thank you Team Organizers for keeping up all the work you put in it.

Ok, then we can be friends. Genuine question, how does it feel to have stuck by your team through the Romo botch, and other bullshit, and all of a sudden get something going and have all these non-genuine bandwagoners diluting your fanbase?
hooooly fug.
what a match.
>>29509875
Btw I am curious now, will we have friendship tests before spring?
>>29509796
I cannot believe it
Just a reminder before someone starts making a new thread that we have one made already and although it's shitty we should probably burn through that one first to be nice

We're the bad guys of the 4cc. They can hate us all they want, but clearly we bring the excitement. We give someone to hate!
>>29509835
>fuck off, we're full
Looks like reinstalling PES finally made it interesting
There are actually goals now
The upcoming match literally doesn't matter, but who are you rooting for anyway, /d/ or /tv/?
>/int/ advancing
>/c/ relegated
That's probably the best outcome of today. Fucking nice.

Bandwagoners we'll always be fags, but we've been shit for so long it's hard to tell them from just fairweather fans. Plus being the perpetual villain without any recent successThis must be what being an /a/ fan feels like
HYPE FOR BABY CUP

This is why you have mafias.

Last time we won three stars.
Neo/mlp/ wasn't cancerous.
And we unironically want to gas bronies and redditors.
