Hello again, fa/tg/uys and ca/tg/irls! It's Match Day 5 of the 2017 Spring Babby Cup!
>What the fuck is this?
A virtual divegrass tournament run in Pro Evolution Soccer and streamed for the enjoyment of anons everywhere.
>Why the fuck should I care?
Dank memes, top bants, bragging rights, and hype by the bucket load. For more info see implyingrigged.info
All right, /tg/. I'll level with you. We're playing /b/ today (20:20 UTC, 4:20pm EDT). Win and we're promoted back to the Summer Elite Cup. There's some other maths involved where we don't advance but also avoid relegation but I'll spare you the long spiel right now if you promise to get off your behinds and root for the boyz in blue. We need every one of you neck/legbeards WAAAAAAAAAGHIN' as hard as you can. Deal? Deal.
So get hype, faggots. It's GRIP WEEKEND!

IN OTHER NEWS FROM AROUND THE CUP:
/co/ confirmed themselves advancing last Sunday night with a 2-1 win in the /co/ck/ Bowl. We only need to win to have a full FLGS reunion in Summer.
/k/ unfortunately went down 4-5 against /lgbt/ in what many are calling Game of the Tournament so far.
And, in group B, /mlp/ are facing relegation today, unless they can overcome a somewhat misfiring /sci/ (19:00 UTC, 3pm EDT).
Good luck today boys
>>53341517

BEST TIMELINE, PRAISE BE TO THE EMPEROR.
>>53344843
May we all remain there for a long time.
>>53344843
This is the best timeline i'm 200% happy.
>>53344816
It's like Warhammer Wednesday all over again.
Praise the emperor
I'm so happy. I think it's rare that we play badly, but for once, we did all the right things and they actually paid off.
Congrats to the managers, it feels good to see the lads in elite again.
>>53344843
Aw yes, we fucking did it.
We're in summer, along with all other FLGS teams and all vidya boards.
Looking like a pretty nice cup.
Especially with the /mlp/ and /pol/ in fetus.
>>53344843
See you on the battlefield, brother. This summer will be glorious.
Congrats lads, we can't wait to see you in the elites with us.
>>53344894
That was fun.
Los magos del tiempo was awesome
>>53344894
Adding to this, good job to current manager Lazyturd and our dedicated testing team.
If anyone wants to help us get further in the knockouts and make a good showing in Summer, feel free to drop into the Discord and ask about testing or making aesthetics.
>>53344894
CLEANSE, PURGE, KILL!
Congratulations to Lazyturd, and the other testers, this is about as good as it's gonna get!
/d/ here,
Welcome back to the Elites /tg/. We missed you.
>>53344894
This truly is the best timeline
>15 passes the check
>>53344931
>If anyone wants to help us get further in the knockouts and make a good showing in Summer, feel free to drop into the Discord and ask about testing or making aesthetics.
Do this.
I want to thank each and everyone of you for staying with us, and from me, and all of our wonderful, amazing testers, we thank you, and LETS GET THAT FUCKING PACIFIER, and move on to the elites, also ALL OF FLGS AND VIDYA IN ELITES GET FUCKING HYPE
I must say, it's great to be getting back to the Elite.
>>53345083
Can confirm this is actually Lazy
damn, /ck/ droppping the spaghetti hard right now
>>53345083
The curse is over
>>53345083
What the hell /ck/?
>>53345361
That was embarassing
Well congrats to /ck/ I guess, for graduating from doing badly to full blown retarded.
the ball just phases through the keepers boot for a slow roll own goal.
That's not how physics works.
Poor /ck/.
>>53344863
ABSOLUTELY BASED
>>53345402
Yeah, you can't blame the manager for something like that.
>>53345402
Blame the goalie for having spectral legs
>>53345361
>>53345377
Can't really blame /ck/ too much for PES fuckery.
Even those who survive their stint as an inquisitorial acolyte often pay a heavy price.
>FLGS reunited
>/pol/ and /mlp/ BTFO
/co/ mustard race
/tg/ tops group
>>53345984
The worse a board is the funnier their meme's are though.
>>53346020
true for pol but not for mlp
>>53346027
Yeah, I'm sure they would be goddamn great with all the drama on /pol/ so far this year.
>when /mlpol/ is back together again
Okay our next game is either soc or o. Unless some serious shenanigans happen.
>>53346506
It's a random draw.
Does anyone know how fast the games are played at? It's at least 3x but I'm not sure how much more.
>>53346920
Testeranon here. Each match is set at 10 minutes in length, not including replays, timeouts, substitutions, etc.
Also, draw for Round of 16 is tomorrow night after Match Day 6 to finish the group stages. We'll find out who we're playing then. Hopefully this thread will still be liv then and I'll pop in and let you guys know what's what.
>>53347016
>Each match is set at 10 minutes in length, not including replays, timeouts, substitutions, etc.
9x then. If all divegrass games were this fast I might actually watch them.
>>53347040
>>53346920
when you aren't streaming though you can press the button to truncate the animations which cuts down on time.
>>53341803
>>53344886
>>53345016
thanks /co/ /m/ and /d/
>>53347040
The other Testeranon here, and yeah, virtual Divegrass is much more fun to watch then the real thing.
>>53344894
>/tg/ is out of the babbies
Fucking finally. How far we'd fallen from winning a cup to multiple consecutive babbies.
>>53349177
You can blame that on PES fucking 16.
>>53349177
/mlp/ being the sole double star holder needs to change.
>>53349287
/fit/ has two stars
>>53349355
They do? Shit. Haven't paid much attention since /tg/ fell so low.
did the cup get banned from shitbox?
>>53349756
No hitbox and another service merged to become Smashcast. They did get canned from twitch though IIRC, apparently twitch is really autistic about remaining "family friendly" and the memes were too much for them.
>>53344308
thanks doc
>>53349856
Only if you're not making them tons of money, big partners get away with murder on Twitch.
So when is our next game?
>>53353220
Next Saturday probably
Who are you guys rooting for today, if anyone?
Only boards I care about are /tv/ and /k/, which is a shame since they're playing each other. Supporting /tv/ out of the two of them since that's the one I actually post on
>>53344894
Don't forget Doomrider smacking /b/ down to fetus as well. Straight up glorious
>>53353349
>No opponent shown for /tg/ in knockout round
Who will we be up against? As in the winner of which match?
>>53355524
first places are given home team spots. the opponents will be randomly drawn from the second teams in each group. the draw should be tonight.
>>53355657
Gotcha, thanks lad
Game day is starting, leading off with group E.
Here, we will have to see if /a/ manages to avoid the fate of the other big boards...
>>53356718
Aren't we a big board?
>>53357159
Not really.
>>53357159
I'd say we're mid-sized.
>>53357159
we have a rich history and culture, but not really a big board in terms of usage and population.
>>53349856
Azubu bought hitbox and sat on in for a long time.
Then Azubu realized it was terrible and gutted itself and replaced everybody with Hitbox people.
Unfortunately the ownership is still Azubu so the merger has involved a lot of rushed changes that don't work well or break other things.
Also Azubu is owned by a German who lives in California.
Holy hell /a/ is getting destroyed.
>>53357807
I feel bad for them.
>>53357829
O my /a/ is actualy doing it, it's comeback.
>>53357997
A truly valiant attempt.
I wonder if we could get someone to re-do the emperor blender, now that he is a striker he could realy use a touch up.
>>53358683
There wasn't a lot time or manpower available to make a proper blender so a lot of the original ultramarines blender got recycled so the Emperor would have something to wear on the pitch
>>53357175
>>53357201
>>53357215
In cup-terms, /tg/ are actually pretty big market in terms of popularity.
>>53360533
We also have a steady population thanks to Reddit Immigration. We make up a sizable number of Greentext/screencaps that eventually lead people to 1d4chan and eventually here.
>>53360533
not the same thing though.
the group's destiny is in /trv/'s hands.
>>53360658
And as a result, more content hijacking.
I always end up seeing shit I made cropping up on facebook a year later.
Well we got double playoffs for the last group.
Well congratulations, /k/! You got yourselves spooned!
Playoffs for first and last place in Group G, then Wooden Spoon match, featuring the chat-managed /trash/, THEN draw for Ro16.
What the hell does "+2" mean? I can't into divegrass.
>>53356718
If only we could rip Bloodbowl models to use for PES, we could have the orc stadium
>>53363406
+1 and +2 refer to super mentalities which, when active, tell the team to get increasingly aggressive and push up further.
There's also -1 and -2 which tells the team to get more defensive.
>>53363531
Think of it like Bloodbowl-
If you go +1 or +2, you're looking to kill people and sweep up the field. If you're -1 or -2, you're probably playing pointy ears.
Moving aside from the jokes, Super-mentality is a pretty dangerous tool, because it can lead to goals, but it opens up holes in your defense and offense respectively. For example, if you go -2, then you're opened up to sudden counter attacks, and if you go +2, your players move out of position when the other team is driving up the field. Generally, +1 or -1 is really all you need, and not even touching the Super Mentalities is a perfectly fine tic-tack.
It really depends on the team, and what cards and Advanced Tic-tacks you're using, like memenepress. If you want to learn more, I recommend checking the wiki: implyingrigged. info, and go look at the Glossary and /wiki/Pro_Evolution_Soccer_2017/Tactical to learn more.
-That Other Testeranon
This is your Cup-thread reminder to visit your local Imperial Guard recruitment branch to see what YOU can do for /tg/! Testers, making aesthetics, hell, even things as simple as fanart or copypasta chants can help a lot. Come visit the /tg/ team's discord for more, or to simply chat.
Draw coming up next. Stay tuned.
Tg vs his it's pottery.
>facing off against the most aggressive team in the whole fucking Babby in the knockouts
>>53364414
See y'all next Saturday. GET HYPE!
What the fuck happened, I was out all day?
Who did we play? How close was the game? What did we win by?
What did we qualify for? Who else did? Who didn't?
etc.
>>53365019
We didn't play anyone today.
We blew out our opponents to claim top-spot for our group yesterday, 4-1 vs /b/. Watch the replay.
We advanced, no problems, the other group toppers also advanced to the RO16 and Elite Cup, /mlp/, /a/, /b/ all ended up getting relegated to the fetus, making the next fetus 'Big Market Fetus'.
Draw for the RO16- be HYP next weekend, day one, game 3, /tg/ vs /his/- it's time for a rematch, and this time, it's personal.
>>53363406
+2 basically mean's your risking getting scored on over and over, or having the wrong person trying to take shots in exchange for having everyone be aggressive and try to get the ball toward the enemy net.
in he dying moments of a match when a team is on +2 mentality sometimes the Goalkeeper will abandon their position in order to join the offense.
>>53368741
If you're asking about the board in general you can just check the catalog.
Or are you asking what kind of games the people in this specific thread play?
Wth was that first goal on /b/? Came out of nowhere.
