Hello once again /tg/! Sadly, today we play our final game in the 2016 Autumn Babby Cup.
>What the fuck is this?
A virtual divegrass tournament played between boards using Pro Evolution Soccer and streamed for anons everywhere.
>Why the fuck should I care?
Dank memes, bragging rights, and hype by the bucketload.
Check out implyingrigged.info for more information.
Today we face /biz/ in our final game of the group stages and, indeed, the Cup. Unfortunately the Dice Gods did not favour us to advance this season but there are still stakes set before us. The loser of this match will be relegated to the Qualifiers for next Spring ("affectionately" known as the Foetus Cup). This match kicks off at 21:30 UTC (4:30 pm UTC) in the second-to-last match of the day.
>implying Cup is ever on time
Long before that though, our good friends /k/ fight for their own place in the Round of 16 as they take on /w/. Kicking off at 17:30 UTC (12:30 EST)
Also, /a/ are down but not out. They can advance on a miracle win against /po/, provided /jp/ lose to /out/. That match kicking off at 19:15 UTC (2:15 pm EST).
So, the stage is set. Get hype, and WAAAAAAAAAAGH FOR DA BOYZ!
We've also got a discord server for all things Cup related for /tg/ here: https://discord.gg/011qOR7qt0vo3Siiv
If you want to help us out with testing/aesthetics or if you just want to hang out then you're welcome to join.
Stream link in pic related.
Our roster poll will be going up soon, later on in this thread. Likely after /tg/'s this evening.
Fuuuu, good conditions on both sides for /k/ /w/
>the jammed M16 of /k/
So, roster poll (part 1) later today, probably after our match.
Based on the results of that poll, we'll probably run a second round to determine exact replacements etc.
And we're back following excessive technical difficulties with /out/ vs /jp/.
Well it's time for /a/ to face /po/ to avoid getting Foetus'd.
Here's the full translated lyrics for our theme song Danger Room, if you feel like singing along.
(faint) RÅSH NUMOL LIBASH THOL
Die lonely with your axe in the deep
UREM BISOL UDOS
My father was a peaceful man
NANOTH OKIL OTHIL, GUSIL SAMAM
Never tested his weak, copper courage
NAS-OKON ARÔL DELER LAM
But I'm unburdened under steel and stone
AKUR AKIR AKAM!
Champions are rewarded by fortune
AKUR AKIR AKAM!
RILEM ZIKEL LUMASH
Youth was a fierce frenzy
BELAL KOMAN AMAS ARÔL-ORAM
My fame spread to the depths of the underworld
OMER-AR DEB OR NIL DATAN
Goblins ate my large iron hammer
AKUR AKIR AKAM!
Champions are rewarded by fortune!
AKUR AKIR AKAM!
UREM BISOL UDOS
My father was a peaceful man
NANOTH OKIL OTHIL, GUSIL SAMAM
Never tested his weak, copper courage
NAS-OKON ARÔL DELER LAM
But I'm unburdened under steel and stone
AKUR AKIR AKAM!
Champions are rewarded by fortune!
AKUR AKIR AKAM!
ALNIS! LUGOB BARDUM!
To war! To grand battle!
FIDGAM! ABOD SODEL LIBASH SAMAM!
Assemble! Strike shield and axe for courage!
ABUR RÅSH NEKOL ATOT AM!
The hero dies with his skull chopped open!
AKUR AKIR AKAM!
Champions are rewarded by fortune!
AKUR AKIR AKAM!
MONDUL KISAT ARBAN
My grave's an empty cradle
RÅSH IR THUNEN, EGEN NALISH ANAN
Death is a new life, given forever to the night
EDDAZ BABIN NAZUSH EB ZIN
At midnight my friends are sucked dry of blood
MOTHRAM AKUR AKAM!
Curse the forture of champions!
MOTHRAM AKUR AKAM!

Hype postponed...
>>50119267
>>50119265
>>50119294
It's /n/ vs /lit/ first, then we're up.
>>50119040
>>OMER-AR DEB OR NIL DATAN
>Goblins ate my large iron hammer
Lewd.
/lit/ need to win this to stay in the Babbies and sent /pol/ to the Foetus and we're all ready 2-2 at the half.
>>50119649
3-2 for /lit/ just now so they are on the right track.
Lazy...
>tfw /tg/ & /a/ fan
This cup has been a nightmare for me.
Hey OP, update your logo pic. /tg/ won an elite last year, there's a star now.
Alright now we are up!
AKUR AKIR AKAM!
>>50119726
I feel you.
First mlp gets two stars, now this.
>>50119763
I knew that, but it didn't feel right with our situation. Plus our star is Elite, not Babby.
>>50119294
HYPE RESTARTEEEEEED
Here's to not going to the fetus
>>50119820
Fair enough.
Now let's hope /tg/ doesn't get fetused.
>>50119726
Someone asked me to post this for him.
GET! HYPE!
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!
Rolled 4 (1d20)
Now to see how we fare
>>50119876
WTF MAN
Rolled 7 (1d20)
>>50119876
i'm spending a fate point to re-roll
>>50119876
Winning means jack shit anyways. Both /tg/ and /biz/ have zero (0) points against /sp/ and /vg/ who have 6 respectively
We're already fetused
>>50119876
>>50119898
>>50119906
Not if /biz/ stays bottom of the group.
Rolled 16 (1d100)
>>50119892
>>50119898
Let's do this proppa... rolling for Doomrider cocaine levels
>>50115632
>WEEZ DA BIGGEST AND DA STRONGEEEST
>>50119935
Yeah that looks about right.
Rolled 1 (1d20)
Let's see now...
>>50119953
TRICKSTER GODS GET OUT REEEE!
Time to take care of /biz/ness.
>>50119953
This doesn't bode well.
>>50119979
>not getting down to /biz/ness
TO DEFEAT THE HUNS
>>50120000
Good luck nerds
>we
>our
>us
What positions do you guys play?
>>50120068
>This meme again
And here we go again.
I want the old manager back.
Well not doing great but it isn't the 6-1 crushfest we were having last match.
>>50115632
>IT'S TIME!
No it's not. Stop reposting this off-topic shit.
Haven't the mods banned you for spamming this yet?
>>50120186
This result will relegate /tg/ to the fetus, though..
>>50120186
>we
>>50120195
>>50120195
It's one thread 12 weekends a year. Stop being a buzzkill and just let us heave a bit of fun.
Any one else think the giant skull is really fucking distracting?
>>50120261
Hate the fucking ball.
You know, I think it's the fact that no colour commentators better than these two personality vaccums wanted to do our match that hurts the most.
Kinda sad the last match is this massive snoozefest.
At least we're not /co/
>implying
we got fetus'd, we are just as bad.
See you in spring...
>>50120326
>we
>>50120326
/co/ failed to leave the fetus. We aren't the bottom rung... yet
>>50120353
Kys, even regular divegrass people talk like this
>>50120361
We deserve the bottom, though; our new manager(s) are piss poor. Classically we play well aggresively, but I haven't seen that at all this cup.
Well, fuck.
Not at all as planned, as I'm sure you're all quite aware.
On behalf of the /tg/ management, I apologise sincerely for this mess.
We started off in a difficult position, with me still not having proper time to manage, Dakka MIA without proper word and Lazyturd very inexperienced.
This left us in a very tricky spot in terms of tactics development, not really having enough time to set up a proper primary setup.
Lazy and our (all fairly new) testers did what they could with their limited time, but it wasn't enough.
The current plan is to be much more thorough in our next preparations and properly rebuild the team. If that includes a large-scale changing of players will depend on your preferences.
If any of you are willing to help us with that (can be as simple as running a few testing matches), please contact us.
>>50120271
Well, part of that is that the backup streamer doesn't have the usual links to typical commentators.
Well, without further ado, here is our roster poll: https://goo dot gl/forms/0oayDw7rL8yUi7Sv1
>>50120495
Hope you have better luck in 17.
>>50120495
I'm fucking gutted, but I've seen /tg/ come back from, well not this bad, but bad times none the less. I hope you get some more free time soon to help train up the new guys.
So any opinions on who should go and who can replace them?
Hope you enjoy the blowout
t. /sp/
>>50120495
What sort of stupid verification question is that?
>>50121036
>>50120495
Yeah wtf, is this freeform or do you actual have an answer?
>>50120495
No really guys, what's up with that question?
Am I just giving an answer and you decide if it's /tg/ enough or am I still missing something after five years?
>>50121775
>>50121549
>>50121036
It's pretty vague but we're not looking for anything specific. Just mention something you like on /tg/ and why.
That could be a certain general or discussion about X thing relevant to your interests on the board.
>>50121549
>>50121775
Freeform, so please give a motivation that shows you know what yer talking about.
For opening anthem I suggested the following, for something that builds a bit more hype (although I do also still enjoy danger room)

That would be great for knockouts.
