Grip Weekend has begun and groups A-D are being decided today, though /sp/ already secured advancement last weekend. Today's opponents, /wg/, have already been confirmed relegated so there are no real stakes for both teams. This matchup has only happened once before; the third place match in the 2020 Spring Babby Cup where /sp/ won 2-1 after a late goal by TSUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU./sp/'s match is scheduled to begin about 3 bongs and 20 bings from this post.>Where can I watch?www.isthisliv.com/streamSubscribing to the official YouTube channel with notifications on is the best way to get notified when the cup begins.>What is this?A sitewide divegrass (sawker) cup where each board makes their own team, and play them against each other in CPU vs CPU matches on Pro Evolution Soccer.

>tfw already throughi could kiss you managers
>/vt/ vs /a/ absolute CANCER
>>153221028worst thing is that /vt/ can't even play spoiler, absolute garbage
have a shitty early 2010s style divegrass wallpaper to mark the occasion
>>153221201thank you anonthis is my favourite /sp/ hyp video from many years agohttps://youtu.be/gQ12Ver0Gig?si=ysdQRRM8bdYVcVy4
>>153220941>/wg/ - /sp/so >we are already through to the round of 16 then, correct?
>>153221456We only have first place to fight for and even so we might not even need to play for it if the other game ends with a draw
>the absolute state of /his/
my sides
1 match to go until /sp/ plays
has there ever any team win the tournament unbeaten?
>>153223635Pretty sure quite a few teams have gone unbeaten; /sp/ did in Summer. The only Elite tournament where someone won every match to win the whole thing was /sp/ in Summer 2012, but those matches are not official due to Dragongate.
/sp/ when, lads?
>>153223989after this game
/i/ people really need to kys themselves
/sp/ UP NOWwww.isthisliv.com/stream>www.isthisliv.com/streamwww.isthisliv.com/stream>www.isthisliv.com/stream
let's go
>>153223767on reflection i realize that was a really dumb question, due to the nature of a tournament, of course the winner is the one basically have to go unbeaten basically nearly all the game except the group stage
>>153224214No it's actually a good question because funnily enough nobody has ever had a perfect Elite Cup. There have been a couple of perfect Babbies, but the only perfect Elite was /sp/ Summer 12 which both doesn't officially count and involved one fewer knockout game than the modern format. Last summer /his/ was one win away from a perfect elite before losing to us.
Time to shit stomp an autopilot
LET'S FUCKING GO
>comfy matchHere we go
just don't get rolled and /sp/ will top the group
>perro caca as playmakerWe got this
love me comfy matches that have virtually no stakes
Sorry, but /sp/ management out
it's over
>conceding to an autopilot
>>153224448>>153224237/wg/ isn't even an auto look at their wiki page.
>>153220941/sp/ finally won another cup? Fuckin’ A. The first cup I watched was the Winter 2014 heartbreaker loss to /a/ in the round of 16, and I watched every cup thereafter until losing the final in humiliating fashion to /vg/ in Summer 2018. Good for /sp/ to see football finally came home last year.
TSUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Hey all,I'd mentioned a few times in the build-up to this cup that it would be my last with this team as I look into moving to a different team in the future, but seeing that AI garbage get played at halftime (despite my explicit instructions not to use gen AI in our hyp or audio) made me realise it's already time to go.I'm stepping down. It's been such a great run, and I'll always treasure the memories of us winning our third* star, along with every other cup moment leading up to it (except maybe for that /tv/ game!)As tilted as I am rn I wish /sp/ the best in the knockouts. I won't be at the wheel anymore, but I have faith in the export that we put together and the management team around it. Wear the goat, wear the maroon, and we'll pull through.Cheers.
>>153224866thanks for everything Collie!
>>153224866sacked in the morning

>>153224866I’d tell you to build a bridge and get over it, but we both know you’d only go halfway across.
>>153224866um, we need to get rid of all the weebshit in this tourney first tho

>>153224866KWAB
>>153224866Welcome back.
Kinda shit the bed with that one but salvaged the draw anyway. Hope the Trubin tribute GK kit was alright, even if Da Burrs conceded 3. A win here would've given /sp/ their longest win streak ever of 8. Saving the draw though means we are now tied for longest undefeated streak of 10, the previous streak coming between 9th of February 2013 and 23rd of August 2013. TSUUUUUUUUUUUUU is also now just one goal away from reaching 100.Anyway, as /sp/ top group A we are back next Saturday at 17:00 UTC, the first game of the day. Opponent will be decided in the Round of 16 draw after the end of matches tomorrow.
>>153225615Good job mate you got this next weekend
>>153225615Couldn’t watch the game, but I trust that you have learnt from this narrow draw, as you have achieved so much already. Let’s wave our flags in the KO stage! Thank you!>>153224866I don’t really get it (despite understanding being against AI), but thank you for everything. I sure hope this doesn’t weaken the team
>>153224866wtf man
>>153225615well done mate
>>153224866>going to a different teamShiggy fucking diggy, what is this bullshit?But thanks for what you have done for the GOATs, even though this looks like a very weird move I struggle to fully accept. Not that it matters, though. You do you. Wishing you nothing but pain and misery from now on, of course, since you will coach a rival
>>153225422LOL, LMAO where do you think the insult weeb came from?
>>153225615>clinched result at 90+just like sporting and benfica, the kits did their part at least
>>153225615great work, keep it home lads
>>153225615Thanks chief, here found this old pic of you
I had to leave shortly after this game so this post will have to suffice for now, I am satisfied with the results considering how little we tested against /wg/, it avoids the 9 points curse and the unbeaten streak is now at 10 games. I hope people liked the Benfica keeper kit as well as the cheesegrater on the burrs. Regarding Collie's resignation, I personally thought the halftime show was inoffensive and fun since it made fun of Mbappe being a dictator and communism being a player in /wg/, I didn't know Collie was that aggravated to the point of resignation, although temporarily back, I take full responsibility for it, I even offered to step down after this tournament if it meant they would stay. In any case, the show must go on and I'm glad we secured first place to enter the top bracket, making it easier for us to test for later stages should we get to them.
pls reconsider collie you brought it home as an exceptional team and you can do it again :(
>>153224866What a little bitch
>>153231447My tolerance for trannies extend only so far that they bring victories for my team

MANAGERS PLS DO IT FOR FREEDOM
It'll be /trv/ in the Round of 16, on Saturday at 17:00 UTC.
>>153242317Nice to start the round again. /trv/ is interesting, lots of recent memories with them as well, I'd say. I hope and trust that you'll find a solution, managerGODS. Do your best as always!
>>153242317Leave /trv/ to me
>>153242317really glad we don't have to play against /pw/'s absolute abortion of an export
