4chan League Baseball

It is Game 6 of the Boardwide Series

/wsg/, in the spirit of memes, is in the act of blowing their 3-1. /lit/'s Eldritch Horrors has a lovely quality start and almost completes the game until Lolita Wanted It comes out to pump out the last 4 pitches for /lit/. Start With the Greeks is proclaimed player of the game, mostly due to his 4 RBI's.

The series is now tied 3-3 and it all comes down to game 7. Will /wsg/ actually blow it? Can /lit/ pull off the upset?

So who's gonna spoon this bad boy?

Do you guys really think it's funny or appropriate to shit on an entire group of teams because you don't personally like them? You don't think that's demoralizing, humiliating? Think of a team like /p/, think of how all the fan feels about you shitting on them.

And /wsg/ is your 2016 4chan League Baseball Champions!

/lit/ carried the lead into the 5th inning at which point Gondola hits a go ahead Three-Run home run. /lit/ couldn't make up from it and the game ends 5-3 in favor of /wsg/ and the series ends 4-3 in favor of /wsg/

Congratulations on /wsg/ and /lit/ for getting here. An extra congratulations to /wsg/ for not blowing the 3-1 lead.

The next season will begin later in this month hopefully. I'll try to get everything figured out for streaming it.

>Group E
>only /out/ poses any type of threat to /a/
>/g/ and /w/ are garbage

/a/ undeservingly got an easy group, AGAIN. Let see how much /a/ chokes

>>176069760
But I already manage a team and it's my 2nd gen.

>>176069821
>>only /out/ poses any type of threat to /a/
You really have not played enough PES17 if this is what you believe. /out/ will come last in that group.

>>176069821
>>only /out/ poses any type of threat to /a/
>>/g/ and /w/ are garbage
almost the opposite desu. /out/ are the worst team in that group but then again the flat 4-4-2 meme is still very capable of making other 4-4-2s its bitch, /g/ are literally a worse knockoff of /vg/ (seriously look at the midfield cards and compare their preset 1s), and /w/ are a) actually good in babbies now and b) le 3-6-1 meem.

imo it's a /w/ /g/ /a/ 3 team group with /out/ being there for free points as they finally drop down to fetus but I'll probably be very wrong and /out/ will somehow find a way to get 10 points out of 3 teams

>>176069841
Just put it on autopilot

>>176070226
yeah sign up another general as an autopilot and then find out you're unable to make the export because you're not a flip /vg/ manager-in-the-making

Yeah you don't actually need somebody to make an export for an autopilot team, Nomo's made them before in the past when a general has interest in playing, cause it's dumb to deprive a general of being able to play just because they can't find an autist willing to take responsibility for it.

>>176069269
That would be the reaction normies have, no matter what country they're from. To be fair though, most of the pieces I've read made it clear that /pol/ was well to the far-right, so I wouldn't expect any left-leaning people to go talk about politics on here, even in our thread on /int/.

It's fairly interesting to see that our Left has never really tried to establish a footing outside of the more mainstream parts of the internet. Makes me feel a bit lonely though. At least I have my Chinese cartoons.[/spoilers]

I actually fucking laughed at this thought. What is happening?

>>176080292
/b/ is a lock. It's between /biz/ and /f/.

>>176080292
/b/ are likely going to be first in Group C, although I dunno how involved planet is this cup and I dunno what to think of letters if he's the one doing most of the work this cup
/f/ are at least not Sou in a rush-tier anymore, and if it's any positive Smudgey managed to get that export to dominate /c/ his first game. Spring /f/ are definitely better than Winter /f/
/biz/ are bland as fuck 4-2-2-2 and Duke kinda sucks at PES, but at least it's not Autumn /biz/. Should be at least fetus avoiding on the right sliders
/tg/ have a decent looking formation that isn't LB CB RB but Lazyturd is still very stupid

>>176080603
/ck/ is criminally underrated this cup. They own goaled their way out of being in winter. Their formation is great this time offensively and against a 4-3-3 and a 3-3-4/3-5-2, that's all they need so long as they don't get embarrassed by /u/. /u/ likes to play centring targets with height abuse and that's a great strat against a 3-4-3.

fuck it I got nothing better to do might as well make myself screencap bait for when teams I shittalk advance and teams I rate get fetus'd.

>Group A
/adv/ are what you expect out of them, a better version of /out/. Probably good enough to advance but this group seems pretty evenly matched
/p/ are the new invitational king zona mista with some ebin card choices (dude heel trick lmao). I want to doubt Fuji but at this point that's probably best saved for elites
/po/ look ok (although imo some of their card choices are stupid, looking at you longball expert AMF) but they have for the past two years and every single fucking cup Soryuu ruins them with atrocious livemanaging. I'd probably trust them more if literally anyone else was livemanaging
/t/ are garbage and free points for everyone else in the group. I guess they could surprise us and run a maybe sensible 4-3-3 but their cards are fucking stupid, their default formation is an atrocity, and Pybro really doesn't seem to give much of a shit

>Group B
/mlp/ are pretty fucking mediocre this cup t b h. I mean it's the old maydave special but diamondized and with actual card choices instead of random.org's greatest hits. Their management is definitely better than /his/ and /sci/'s by country miles though
/n/ is S O L I D and I rate them in babbyland. At the very least they can actually score this cup, which is something they had zero chance of doing in Winter
/his/ are the same export that became king of trash mountain, a worse version of /asp/. Probably will avoid fetus at least
/sci/'s export wouldn't be out of place in PES16, but in a game where you actually have to defend sometimes I doubt it'll do a whole lot. Their matches will be fun as fuuuuuuck though

>>176082501

>Group D
/u/ are the exact same thing they've done for almost every cup (now with height abuse!). Should get through
/r9k/ will definitely avoid the fetus but I have doubts about their ability to hold up against not-trash competition in not-PES16. They're flexible as fuck
/ck/ are a good team, but massive PESing that was the /toy/ match in Autumn aside Bochum routinely shoots himself in both feet. Then again so do the /r9k/ and /co/ guys
/co/ are arguably the best export in this group. /co/'s management, however, is a very different story. Then again with /r9k/ and /ck/ in this group and Myuer not exactly invincible to shooting himself in the foot it's basically a race to see which livemanaging team fucks up the least because they're all solid teams.

>Group E
/w/ are a worse /fit/ in every way. I don't think the 3-6-fun will work as well as JB made it work because Goat is very much not JB but it's still not a laughingstock
/out/ are the same as ever. Like every other time they've played how well they do will mostly depend on how much the other teams shoot themselves in the foot over an export that they probably should have doubly cracked by now
/g/ are a decent team and they benefit from not playing two semifinal-tier teams in this group. Hopefully Narcissist learned something from his first cup and won't bungle up livemanaging this cup
/a/ are one of the blandest teams in this cup. It's just a fucking 4-4-2 that's largely the same as the fetus 4-4-2 (Translation note: "same as the fetus 4-4-2" means "/jp/ with slightly more sensible cards and worse management"). Could easily advance but could just as easily be made the group's bitch.

>Group F
/c/ might be the only team blander than /a/. Good fucking God /c/ are bland. Gerb is the least terrible manager in this group though
/an/ are running an interesting 4-2-3-1 and aside from >pinpoint crossing CF have decent cards but Pond and Roo are ass so they'll probably make it only ever score after going 4-0 down
/wg/ would be even blander than /c/ if not for pocket 4-3-3 and Menoze are atrocious managers. My choice to go down to fetus desu
/y/ are finally sensible. SDA still sucks, but sensible SDA sucks less than Menoze and however the fuck you put together le comfy cabal man+le bad puns spoonman.

>Group G
/soc/ are probably the best 3-4-3 in this cup and Socialspartan for the most part doesn't go full retard anymore. Should easily advance
/o/ seem to be what you would get if you tossed /vp/, /vg/, and /w/'s winter setups into a blender. They're honestly not that bad and despite the management team's total newbie status should be competitive
/lit/ are the San Marino special, now narrower. A decent competitor for second along with /o/
/trv/ are "not /t/". That's the best I can say about them. Maybe they'll meme /lit/ or /o/ into the fetus but I don't see them advancing

>Group H
/e/ are far and away the best team in the group. As long as Scoops doesn't get allowed within a 40 mile radius of tactical decisions they should be good
/tv/ are a shittier /lit/. And /lit/ are already mediocre as it is. But then again this group isn't good so they're a competitor for second somehow
/k/ are the one team that might be worse than /t/. I think that's all I need to say about them
/lgbt/ are zona mista gone mad. I don't have a clue what their gameplan is but it's probably being more insane than everyone else. Thanks to /k/ being trash and /tv/ being highly questionable that gameplan might actually work

most of them were wrong in the winter cup, kek

>>176085561
that's the point

Since all the attention went to /fit/ and /mu/ at the end of Winter I never really understood what exactly makes /vp/ good? Please no "they were luckshitters", scoring enough goals to bring /jp/ to penalties and not losing outright should be convincing enough, right? What exactly is in their 3-5-2?

>>176085603
3ATB is solid defensively against teams that don't play wide, which was pretty much everyone in Winter. They were the only team to run a correct 343 center midfield (holding DMF + B2B CMF), and combined the wide AMF meme lel has ran since forever with the 16 /v/ Track Back on every striker meme to making a 343 that pressed high. They also long balled out shitters and /jp/'s least experienced manager live.

They also were (and depressingly, still are) one of the few teams to make their medals central in a 352 system instead of wide, without removing wingers completely like /tg/.

>>176086247
>what makes them work?
Extremely large manager + testing group and just brute forcing.

>>176086095
Group D is without a doubt the group of death
Group A's teams are obviously the least entertaining to watch unless Broken Printer scores make it happen Soryuu but in terms of >tactical >quality the worst is definitely F. B at least has /n/'s S O L I D yoyo tactics to make up for a /mlp/ obviously in a down year and H has /e/ to make up for everyone else

>>176086614

L O N G B A L L L A B G N O L

It's an attempt to get narrow attacking wingers like /biz/ now, and /o/jp/ last year.

>>176086614
/n/ is not solid at all. It's a /wsg/ tier 4-3-3. It'll lose 4-2 to /sci/ and /mlp/ and /his/ will advance with /n/ in the fetus.

>>176086932
Not in a 352. If you want to fucking hoof it to your giant strikers, play a 442 flat, Jack.

The reason to use a 352 over a 442 is to have a spare man against a flat front two and to boss the midfield with a triangle, either adding a deep playmaker/destroyer or a central attacking player to assist in the final third.

>>176087198
Wingers are only good with track back because otherwise you won't have any defence.

>>176087453
Positioning goes a long way with that, as well as not using Hole Player or Box to Box on your wingers and having an Anchor Man DMF in your mid.

This is also why you pretty much have to use B2B or Destroyer CMF in that midfield, because if you're caught high up the pitch, you need to press high with everybody or get fucked on counters.

Another thing /vp/ did that everyone else misses is having the entire team press as a unit. Track Back strikers up top, Anchor Man and Gold B2B with Track Back in the mid, and wingbacks that hang at or below the touchline. All the medals push up when the ball is lost, then there's the wingbacks wide, then there's the Anchor Man and the back three creating a flat back four essentially.

They haven't done shit since they had a string of babby finals and then won in 2015.

If they choke in this pool and don't at least make RO16, they're gonna be forever bouncing between good results in a babby and shocking results in elites.

>>176088843
Being bad is easy to intentionally do in PES. Actively fucking up will result in you either losing horribly or 24(18) 2 - 3 (3)4'ing your games, you being the 3. That is PES.
Being good will only net you 50% chances of winning against someone that is also good, or you'll get 24(18) 2 - 3(4)'d, you being the 2. That is also PES.

According to /tg/ the 1 CB was legit as well.

>>176089632
>>176089505
/vg/ was so fucking nothing I forgot they were even in Winter.

They also got tuned the fuck up by a 3ATB team that ran central medals, after beating an /m/ that really should've gone down, drawing two teams that weren't much better, and beating a /vr/ that only escaped relegation due to TWAIN thinking defense is a type of beverage.

>>176090013

IIRC, it was her first anime role. Still amazed at how well she voiced Rento.

The shops of SO:TL subtitles over screencaps were so brilliant though, among the best content I've seen on /a/ these past five years.

I still can't believe that it wasn't those that baited me into watching the show, but a stitch of Sonora washing her gun in a swimsuit.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_6LvKWy5vo
The video in question

I don't know who PREDSCATS is but I think he's the savior /pol/ needs

>>176090017
tbf /vp/ were without a doubt better (largely because their offense was more than just golds with 77s ruining most decent attacks by going wide) but most of what you said about /vg/'s opponents can be applied to /vp/'s too. just replace /fit/ with /mu/, /m/ with /v/, /r9k/ and /w/ with /p/ and /b/ (the latter of which /vp/ got busparked the fuck out by and the former of which were fucking hopeless), and /vr/ with /int/ (and while /vr/ escaped relegation largely due to /sp/ and to some extent /soc/'s defensive non-acumen, /int/ did so largely due to /c/'s near complete offensive ineptitude more than anything, /int/-/gd/ shenanigans and all.)
I will admit it's a stretch in an attempt to defend an export that honestly overachieved hard. if not for /m/ shitting the bed on the first matchday /vg/ wouldn't have been able to play extremely safe against /w/ and /r9k/ and probably would have been sent packing to Spring. that said /vg/ weren't trash. overachieving yes, no fucking doubt, but trash no. also /v/ were better than /m/ and /b/ about as good if not better than /w/ so there's that.

I'd have told you to look in an archive, but I'm not sure that any of the ones that still exist have threads that old with pictures.

>>176091619
That is true: /vp/ also had a shit group and overachieved, but at least they managed to force coinflips against two actually decent teams in the KOs as well as getting scraped by a finalist.

Also /b/ and /v/ were bang average: the vidya derby blowup came after /v/'s manager shat himself after going down ten men, then beat the other bang average team in the group to advance.

/jp/ honestly should've taken that QF game though

>>176093368
>2(2) - 10(7) against /sp/

>>176093368
/jp/ was yet another average team that overachieved like crazy.

>>176094045
at this point why not call everyone but /fit/ and /mu/ and maybe /toy/ an average team that overachieved :^)

>>176095047
>>176095119
>stealing tactics from San Marino

>>176094118
>>176094045
/jp/ was an average team that reorganized into a brutal counterattacking team by the KOs.

/mu/ was an average team that became brutally good in a 433 setup, and would have won the cup if they had built around the 433 in the first place.

/fit/ was a kind of shitty team with a very good manager against a lot of dumb people who couldn't figure out how to play against POS/AOD after a year of PES16 /v/.

/toy/ was flat bad, but really so was everyone in that group.

>>176093816
The only shots that matter are the ones that go in. The /vp/ keeper only saved three of the seven on target and /sp/ was wasteful in front of the net.

/gd/, /mu/ and /asp/ were just straight well built, which is why Groudon can sleepwalk his way into QFs like Retortlement used to.

>>176095207
Rate the other knockout teams.

>>176095119
Ah yes Stealing tactics from /lit/, the hallmark of all great managers.

>>176095327
>>176095170
The reason was because she was submitting an hour before the deadline and picked a random 9 point team

Anon is an average idiot that overachieved in making shitty hot takes in /4ccg/

>>176095480
Are you sure it was random and not because there's some strange /ag/ obsession that San Marino is somehow a good manager?

>>176089796
Now listen here. First off, over a period of like 100 matches where i did clean saves every 4 matches or so to avoid adaptive AI, medal benching resulted in a statistically significant decrease in goals scored against the team benching the medal, all other variables being controlled for. I'll dig up the stats and do a significance test if you'd like.

In response to the fact that we had to bench a medal in the first place, that was because yeah, carma helped a lot. It took shoug and me, especially shoug because he's the primary livemanager, a while to realize that formations that required different player/medal positioning felt more natural and easy to livemanage to us than what carma helped us out with.

I honestly still believe it was a solid tactic for what we had, but we fucked up player placement against /gd/ and it bit us in the ass.

>>176095629
Rorona literally rates nobody except JB it's cute

>>>/int/25976620

>>176095694
How do you do 100 tests and still be shit?

>>176095694
This is quite possibly the most autistic thing I have read on /4ccg/ this Spring.

>>176095694
tl;dr: Carma bailed us out like everyone else said from the beginning.

>>176095269
I ain't that guy and he'll probably say I'm fucking wrong about every word I write but fuck it lmao
/d/ were average at best following the old PES16 principle of "fuck it just score what is defense" and unsurprisingly it bit them in the ass against a team that could actually defend. Dtroit looks to be the new Sou

/m/'s setup came after everyone switched away from the formation it was meant to counter (although /m/'s best performance came against, unsurprisingly, the thing they were built to counter which /r9k/ almost forced into without their best player). Otherwise worse /vg/ relied on the rest of the group being mediocre or crippled after badly bungling the /vg/ match, probably would have looked better against /w/ and/or /vg/ with centring targets counterattacking instead of possession, and /fit/ creamed them because of one part superiority and one part /m/ making AWFUL livemanaging decisions (what the fuck else is new) the second they went down. kind of like another overachiever from their group. but hey they're consistently elite for the first time ever it's something to build on

/vr/ were solid but like everyone else in their group didn't have a fucking clue how to defend. Making the initial presets wonky 4-3-3s backfired hard against >MayDave /o/, then 4-4-2 did decently until /vg/ realized that maybe letting longballs through isn't exactly a good idea and backed their dline up the moment /vr/ scored. Bear is good manager and should do better in summer

/int/, like /gd/, benefited from a pretty awful group (I don't know how the fuck /f/ managed to make a 3-4-3 totally offensively inept but they sure did it, and /c/'s christmas tree shut /int/ the fuck down but only looked good otherwise against 10man /gd/). They actually looked good against /vp/ though and indi is the first non-clueless /int/ manager since isa

tbc

>>176095694
>it was a solid tactic
That didn't work, and it took monumental amounts of >PES to not get relegated

>>176095852
I kind of just let them run in the background when i wasn't busy and didn't pay any attention to literally anything but ending stats, so that was a big part of it

>>176095946
Yeah, sorry

>>176096132
/h/ were an average 4-3-3 that benefited greatly from having open books to read in /out/ and /adv/ and the usual /fit/ looking a little suspect when starting off cups. probably should've beat /asp/ but /asp/ are good and have been for ages. I doubt they'd have beat /sp/ anyway but that's just me what the FUCK do I know. I don't rate Australian memesters' hopes of staying up though. good GOD that council is a clusterfuck

[s4s], well, uhh, >>176095694
no fucking way they're staying up in summer unless carma comes to the rescue again. [s4s] didn't deserve the winter knockouts even with carma bailing them out and I doubt squid/shouga will do much different in summer

It hardly makes you a new commentator though.

The original poster also said they were brought in by the invitationals. As far as I know that's only true for Fapoleon and Suule (and possibly TWAIN).

f4r banned from the 4cc discord a guy literally claiming he's been on /pol/ longer that the board existed
serious talk, he was a total cunt on par with Oranga, redditor and a cringelord that put even Dag in shame

>>176127737
To be fair, even if /pol/ as we know it has only existed since 2012, there's been /pol/-like boards before.

>>176127737
>a total cunt on par with Oranga, redditor and a cringelord that put even Dag in shame
Yup, he's from /pol/. Why did you ban him?

>>176127971
Most annoying cunt in existence.

>>176127737
Now I kinda want to join that discord just to see that shit

right, but when someone claims "I've been on /pol/ since 2010", then keeps backpedaling with "a-actually I meant that /new/ board you mentioned", it's obvious he's learned everything about 4chan last summer from KYM, reddit and ED
in other words, represents /pol/ perfectly and should be allowed to manage

>>176127737
>serious talk, he was a total cunt on par with Oranga, redditor and a cringelord that put even Dag in shame
Should have made him a commentator for one match just for laughs.

>>176127737
>Oranga
holy shit thank you for reminding me,
that was a fun episode

>>176127971
You're talking about a guy who got banned from /vg/ discord.

A discord that lets Dag and Leo and Hamsterling loose and lets Twinky be a mod.

He was in /AesCo/ once because he contacted me saying he could make stadiums so I added him without realizing he didn't have a clue
Turns out he was borderline retarded and didn't actually make stadiums, just downloaded stuff people made in Google Sketchup that had absolutely no use for us, so Tenko ended up kicking him for being a nonce

Oh it's this guy. Fuuck him

Sure they can! There are quite a bunch of ad boards for dead VGL teams that need replacing

>>176129497
He also wanted cup teams to sell official merchandise.

>>176130243
He's perfect for /mlp/ then

>>176122338
It wasn't as bad in the last VGL or two but historically yes VGL and memevitationals in general are more hard-pressed for a variety and number of commentators per day.

Nice, should I post them here whenever?

>>176130243
why would you sell merchandise?
that goes against the very spirit of the cup imho

>>176133139
Nah, it goes well with the spirit of the cup. Then you can send an email to moot to have it banned, which will set us free.

Ask /mlp/
They sold scarfs, shirts, full kits, got a convention room and i am sure they tried to sell a >Rape figutre once.

>>176134045
iirc they didn't sell them they gave them away.

>>176134045
Because when the cup is all you've got, you want to have some memorabilia.
t. /mlp/

Go ahead and explain to me why "it's against the spirit of the cup" for a fan to buy a scarf representing his team? When this is common practice across the world for every sport and has been for over a century. G'head.

Gonna make a new wiki page for adboards soon

>>176135841
I don't care about what you or the other guy were talking about honestly, so I will not be explaining anything
I just want you to fuck off back to /mlp/

>>176135982
Why is it allowed on /sp/ then?

>>176135841
4cc threads are considered spam by most boards, by actually trying to profit from this you are giving the people that think this is spam a valid reason to delete cup threads on sight

>>176136101
Because, much like /mlp/, it's all they have.

>>176136196
>needing a valid reason to delete threads related to this shit
Deleting them justifies itself. Wish they could be deleted on sight from /vg/, /sp/ and /mlp/ too.

>>176136341
That's not true though. There's actual sports matches every day, as opposed to a single episode of a toy commercial that hasn't been good for the last 5 seasons once a week.

The scarf has become more of an /mlp/ thing rather than a cup thing.

>>176136196
>by actually trying to profit from this you
I'm sure most things are sold at cost price

>>176135982
4CC is a simulated sport that generates very real emotion in its viewers.

>>176136196
But 4CC isn't trying to make a profit???

Brb, making some DBZ scarves so DBZ threads get banned from 4chan.
>this is your mindset

Emotions of shitposting and raiding other boards, for example. And very little else.

So just post the images on the VGL adboard page when its up then?
If I have ideas for regular cup teams should post them on the wiki as well under the regular adboard page?

>>176137156
If you've never felt a rush of excitement as you watched one of your team's strikers run toward a one-on-one with the opposing keeper, or felt crushed by a crucial missed set piece, then I presume you're a merc who doesn't actually care about his team. Not everybody is as flippant as you.
