This summer's cup doesn't start until July 10, but with the Whirl Cup coming up next week we'd like to collect some feedback before board activity spikes and the last 6 months.This thread is for suggesting players (their names and how they will look), general aesthetics like kits, music or anything else relevant to the team.>What is this?See picrelA sitewide divegrass (sawker) cup where each board makes their own team of players relevant to the board's topic and culture, and play them against each other in CPU vs CPU matches on Pro Evolution Soccer. Although the players aren't controlled directly, the teams and tactics are handled by real people.>Can I join?We're in need of some more manpower to help test tactics this cup as we've lost quite a bit of our capacity since our last time out. You need a PC that can run a 12 year old game, at least 1 plug and play controller and ideally >discord to help coordinate. We'll teach you everything you need to know and tell you what to do. How much time you put in is entirely up to you; we're grateful for any help at all. Contact Gimi at: https://implyingrigged.info/wiki/Contact#/sp/>I have an embarrassing flag and wish to remain anonymous:Use this suggestions box: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeCH5HfRubfCCNHjiP_m3XTaRss7zTnG_9OWY1HUOf9iupCIQ/viewform?usp=sharing&ouid=114977315050657720505>2025 Summer Cup Final Highlights with trophy lift (at 15:41):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Za_OatIeMBY>Full playlist of every /sp/ match from the 2025 Summer Cup:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLs1FHwwvzi6Uz4VOTav6u0sNARCcYbXJu
This was our team for the last cup (2026 Winter), where we finished third. This August will mark the 15th Anniversary of the Cup, and /sp/ was one of the founding teams making this the cup closest to the team's 15th anniversary. As such we're also wondering if there's interest in doing anything to commemorate the anniversary, like special aesthetics or bringing some old players out of retirement to mark the occasion. We're of course still open to suggestions for new players.For detailed roster: https://implyingrigged.info/wiki//sp/_Roster
Thirdly, /sp/ scarves are back, with pic rel being the new scarf in the flesh. I'm asking everyone interested to buy theirs individually, since me buying in bulk and distributing them has way too many hurdles. Of the 'official' designs there's a 2025 Summer Cup commemorative edition (pic rel), and a normal scarf where both sides are the same. If you wanna make changes/customize your own, let me know and I'll send you the pixelated /sp/ logo you need and give a bit of direction.Commemorative:https://www.wildemasche.com/shared/Football-scarf.html?design=1780675497_c5dbe6ad73827d2aDouble-sided:https://www.wildemasche.com/shared/Football-scarf.html?design=1780675960_4ce6eb1165215117And just as a disclaimer; I do not earn any money off this. The scarf took two weeks to get to me in Norway, and I paid about 50~ Euros in total.

please watch our cup
>>155018710all in /general/syou don't hate jannies enough
change mbappe's model
>>155017450BASED, thank you so much!>>155017395It pains to say this (again, because I also said it last time, I believe), but I don't think there is a lot to change. The World Cup has yet to begin, no big memes in sight. I think We didn't even care is a bit awkwardly named right now, but that's about it. Can't think of names to definitely get rid of, and neither of cool stuff to add, personally. At least not right now. If anything, get rid of or change WDEC and replace him with USA USA USA USA? I don't know ...
>>155022304have you considered being a tester yet?
VOLUMES inANULO MFUA inknicks rep to jinx them in
>>155029245I have, despite being a clueless nigger when it comes to video games of all kinds. I think it could be cool to help the team and hopefully contribute to success, or at least prevent disgrace. But I'm still reserved about it since I probably need to get my shit together irl first
This post also goes out to the 1-2 other people who might read this>>155031541Testing can be as simple as running games in the background and just checking the results. Ideally you'd watch the games and analyze them in real-time; we have access to some of the best PES-minds the cup has to offer, so you'd have no problem learning how to do so. Our former tester almost won the spring cup on his first try just weeks ago while managing his own team. But again: the bare minimum you have to do as a tester is run the game in the background and noting the results. We'd much rather have people come try it out and leave if it's not for them than nothing at all.To test, you need:A PC that can run PES 15 (released in 2014 so most PCs should be able to)At least 1 basic plug-and-play controller for PC. You'll only be changing settings and not actually playing, so you can use the cheapest controller available.Ideally a >discord user to communicate with us (you can use discord in your browser, no need to download anything)You're not obligated to do anything as a tester; you help whenever you want. You also get access to the inner workings of the team where it's much easier to have input on players, aesthetics, etc. Lastly you become part of a community and a >fun experience to remember. I was fence-sitting about getting involved for years and the only regret I have is that I didn't join up before.Please test for my teamContact: https://implyingrigged.info/wiki/Contact#/sp/
>>155031541bee the change, they won't bite
I'm sure memes will start pouring once the WC begins, in the meanwhile, suggesting:I'm tired, Woobie/ArsenalFanTVDictator Mbappe

riggi and tsu should still be the front twoas it's a wc year, think we could you use chileANO on the benchboth real gimi and fake gimiANON anon deserves a spotfinally, I ask for a Bert or >using pedals bench spot

Oh yeah I forgot to mention that the ruleset has been changed to GGSSS, meaning we have another silver available. Given that things haven't been happening again recently there's also an argument that So, it happened again should forfeit his medal spot until it starts happening again, meaning there could be 2 spots available.
