This article is about the actual 3rd Edition of the Infinity Cup. For the failed iteration that did not occur, please see Infinity Cup 3.
The 8chan Cup (also known as the 2018 Summer Infinity Cup) was the third iteration of the Infinity Cup.
Prelude
With the near death of the Cup in 2016, the tournament lay dormant for approximately two years with no sign of the original group of organizers. The charge was taken up by TNA, who put the Cup through a complete rebrand, ditching the "Infinity" moniker, and naming it after the home site. Hoping to distance the Cup from the negativity of its recent past, TNA took on the responsibility solo, and ran it out of /v/, making the board the unofficial host of the tournament.
The 8chan Cup branding was in effect for two Cups, though the name only sticks for this tournament, in order to keep it distinct from the failed Infinity Cup 3.
Competitors
Twenty four teams elected to compete in the 8Chan Cup:
Original Draw and Subsequent Re-Draw
The tournament kicked off on July 20th with a riveting 2-1 victory by /animu/ over /gts/, and proceeded with the remaining Group A match, /ausneets/ vs. /hisparefugio/, and both Group B matches, /wooo/ vs. /liberty/, and /ita/ vs. /2hu/. Both during and following the last match of the day, /ita/ supporters noticed discrepancies with their listed roster and what was imported into PES 18. Despite having come out on top in their match, /ita/ fans were unhappy with how the squad ended up. The head rigger decided that the best course of action would be to void the four matches, re-import all teams just in case, and restart the cup with a new draw.
