It's time for another round of pre 4CC Friendship Tests!
>where
pony_me_bro on Twitch, or just follow the link https://derpy.me/Cr07l
>when
Starting today on regular cup time, 1700 UTC.
>I've been here all summer and what is this
A tournament of made up teams that were designed by the rigging staff of /mlp/ to decide what tactics will be used for the following cup
>who
The old guard of Wonderbolts, Shadowbolts, Cloudsdale Factory, Too Many Pinkie Pies, Power Ponies and Equestria Girls is now joined by another two teams representing the Apple Family and the Hive, /apl/ and /bug/!
>what else is new
Since there are 8 teams, they have been divided into 2 groups of 4. Group A has /wdb/, /eqg/, /bug/ and /cdf/, while group B consists of /apl/, /pnk/, /sdb/ and /pow/. After everyone plays their three groupstage matches, the two best teams from each group battle it out in the knockouts stage to see who gets to take home the title.
All 8 teams will also be livemanaged, so get ready for tacticool changes and pause abusing, and expect each match to take around 30 bings.
Schedule for today:
/wdb/ vs /eqg/
/bug/ vs /cdf/
/apl/ vs /pnk/
/sdb/ vs /pow/
/wdb/ vs /bug/
/eqg/ vs /cdf/
/apl/ vs /sdb/
/pnk/ vs /pow/
Is it finally /pnk/'s year? Will /pow/ surprise us? Are /wdb/ going to choke again? Are the new teams going to show us how divegrass is played, or are fucking /sdb/ ruining another cup? Really, what's the point of having the Tests if we know what the result will be anyways?
Find out tonight, today and tomorrow!
GO APUL GO
Oh shit I can't wait to see the /apl/ blenders. Looks like I'm not getting any sleep tonight either.

I believe in the Hive.
On a less related note, it could be a nice idea if we made a very small site featuring all the info.Kinda like implyingrigged, but on a hella smaller scale.
Reminder that it's already rigged.
>>29822960
>implying that rigging it for FUN is wrong
>>29822934
Don't think that's needed, these are just dressed up test games
>>29822893
>Will /pow/ surprise us?
kek
>>29823003
Not needed, but could be FUN. I might make one this summer as web dev practiceprobably not
>>29823003
No, don't get me wrong, I don't mean a full blown wiki. More like a fantasy football league site. So, someplace to get a bit of fan banter and lore when the tests are not taking place.
Also, it could be a useful place where to post personalized ads and posters.
Yeah, I know Wonderdolts fans would proably start spamming their usual crap and rig all the stats so that their team looks better than the actual crap it is, but still...
>>29823027
To make it easier, remember safesthooves.com (please tell me I'm not the only one old enough)? Kinda like that.
>>29823032
Go to bed grandpa. Though if someone has the skills to make a small site like that, it could be fun.
Why was it taken down, anyway?
>>29823055
>grandpa
Son, I still remember when the cup had playoffs to its own playoffs, show some respect.
Anyway, guess Shep (the name of the guy who had made that site was something like that) just stopped caring.
Looks like I've missed the last few threads. Are PMB etc still planning on playing on playing some live pes with real controllers?
>>29823027
Would be neat. It'd be great to have a place to keep records, be able to find goalhorns etc.
Actually, now that I think about it, there's a way.
I once had a fantasy football league with some friends, and to keep track of everything I had created some very convoluted spreadsheets with multiple tabs in Google Documents.
I know, it wouldn't be the same as a regular site, but it would work fairly well for everything info: think about it, a tab for group A a tab for group B, one for the Brackets, another for the rosters, etc. Of course protected, to avoid people vandalizing it.
>>29823085
Yeah, a place for the teams, rosters, goalhorns and all the various fanart would come handy.
I think PMB mentioned something about the live PES last week when the draw happened, so it should still be happening, though I can't remember when.
>>29823106
Wasn't it something like PMB, Scarfanon and some other people meeting up for PES before going to Babscon
Let's go, 'Bolts!
>>29823104
That's not a bad idea. As long as we have people to curate it it'd be a nice start and we could potentially move up to a proper site.
>>29823106
>>29823149
I just watched the draw on pmb's channel and yeah he said testpony, noteperson, scarfanon are gonna live commentate the friendship tests from his house. He didn't say anything about playing a game with controllers though. I hope they do for a bonus thing, it'd be neat ant I don't think something like that has been done in the 4cc before. I could be wrong though.
Also PMB if you are reading this please pame a video of your exploits at babscon for us poorfags.
>>29823253
Fuck I'm drunk and tired. I meant make instead of pame. How did that even happen?
>>29823253
Oh yes, "People" is the word: in that fantasy league I was the only one keeping track of everything including rules and a 'newspaper'. Trust me, it was a nightmare. Fun as hell, but a fucking nightmare.
I still remember nights I went to bed at 2am after having spent an entire evening updating and coming up with clever ways to automatize everything (for example "if I write this score here, the table in this other tab has to keep track of the result and automatically add points." and so on)(I basically earned a master in Spreadsheet art by playing a virtual divegrass grades game)
This egg shall decide who will win. Any bets?
>>29823316
My god where did you get that? I'm placing my bet on an appul.
>>29823281
I'll help if you're down. I could start by screenshoting all the matches from previous tests. Just a shame we lost the vods for the first one,
>>29823316
It's gonna be a shitty EqG Twilight which will secure the win to/sdb/
PMB, you need to signStrelnikov
>>29823332
Fug, you were right.
>>29823364
BUT I DIDN'T WANT TO BE
Don't ever jinx me or my miniatures ever again!
>>29823364
Aww boo it was just one of the two? Well fuck.
>>29822893
It's good to be back.
Should I commentate desu
>>29823469
Do it twiggles
>>29823479
Not Twiggles I'm afraid
Just a Twigger loving large hairy man
>>29822934
I like that the only place you can get info is 4chan. Keeps us rooted.
>>29823253
>Noteperson
It'll be Test Pony, ScarfAnon, and NBD. For you young shits, NBD was the manager for the Spring 13 baby cup win. Noteperson, sadly, declined my invitation to spill spaghetti in California.
Well be playing live PES with controllers and everything once everybody is here, either Sunday or Monday maybe. Just depends. ScarfAnon rused us all on his flight schedule, so he won't be here until Sunday.
Am i too late? Getting offline here
