/tg/

An expansion team that joined the ill-fated 2016 Winter Infinity Cup, /tg/ is the representative of 8chan's traditional games community, the home of imagination, wizards, healers, skeletons and more. As one of the better traveling expansion boards and a board with considerable culture unlike many of the other expansion teams, many anons looked forward to the inclusion of /tg/ in the Infinity Cup. Sadly, /tg/ greatly underperformed expectations, with a very forgetful performance in the 2015 Winter Cup. /tg/ began the 2015 Winter Cup with a narrowly-earned draw against tech/ that, until Muscle Wizard's stoppage time goal, seemed likely to be a loss. This would turn out to be a harbinger for the future of the team, which in 2015 relied heavily on long, memeball lobs that often stood no chance of succeeding. Subsequently, /tg/ went on to get thoroughly beaten by /k/ in a 4-2 loss that made knockout-stage contention unlikely for them, and ultimately shitstomped and blanked by /pol/ in a 3-0 loss despite /pol/ having never won an Infinity Cup match before that point. /tg/'s record for the tournament ultimately went down as one of the worst performances by any team in an Infinity Cup: 0 wins, a draw, and two losses, with a goal differential of -5.

The 2018 8chan Cup has been more kind to /tg/ than its Infinity Cup performance two years before. While /tg/ started off their second campaign in sportsball with a fairly boring 2-2 draw against newcomer /hisparefugio/, they went on to score back-to-back 2-1 wins against both /ita/ and /gts/, allowing them to secure the top spot in their group, granting them a spot in the knockout rounds of the 8chan Cup, and making up for their lethargic performance in the Infinity Cup. The team cruised to a 5-3 victory over /test/ before being bounced by /strek/ in a 2-1 defeat in the Round of 8. Nonetheless, the success of /tg/ in the 8chan Cup suggests that their future may be bright yet.

Infinity Cup II
Sporting a conservative 4-2-2-2 formation, many anons were expecting to see some good, fast-paced soccer from /tg/s side. However, to the dismay of some, and the keks of many others, /tg/ rewarded this tournament with some top grade memeball. Long-balls going nowhere, a lethargic and, frankly, quite boring attack summarize /tg/s performance in this cup. Their first match was a 2-2 draw against /tech/, however, /tg/ did begin the match two goals under, Muscle Wizard clinching a draw with a 90th minute goal. /tg/s debut wasn't a blowout like /pol/s first match against /k/ in the same group yet it was no secret that /tg/s memeball tactics would likely be the death of them. The dice weren't in /tg/s favour in their next match against /k/ either where they lost 4-2, not surprising seeing as how /k/ went on to be the only team to win every match in the group stage. It wasn't all gloom and doom though, /tg/ was still alive due to /k/ beating /tech/. If /tg/ could beat /pol/, which still didn't have a single victory in their entire team history, /tg/ could make it to the next round of the Winter Cup. To no one's surprise, /tg/ disappointed once more with a 3-0 loss against the stormfags. A short and sad performance by /tg/ leaving the tournament with a measly point, a -5 goal difference and not a single victory under its belt.
