GREETINGS /co/
The Infinity Cup is returning once again, and 8chan's boards will be fighting it out on the pitch to claim divegrass supremacy. As a board that has participated in the Cup at one point or another in its history, you are invited to the reveal stream for 2019 Summer edition of the Cup. On Saturday June 22nd, at 3 PM EDT/7 PM UTC, on cytu.be/r/8cup I'll be giving you guys an early look at the Cup's 5th edition, which will include revamped aesthetics, team stadiums and other quality of life improvements I've figured out how to do in PES 17. Hopefully this will get anons back on board with the Cup, considering it has struggled mightily since its 2nd incarnation.
So how is it going to go down? I'll be staging a couple of exhibition matches between teams using their rosters from the last Cup, and we'll shitpost our merry way through the stream. Once the stream ends, entries will be open for the Cup, and boards can start putting together/editing their rosters and kits. Entries will close in early July, the field will be determined, and the Group Draw will take place approximately a week before the Cup kicks off in August. I'm also hoping to possibly introduce managers for the Cup, although I'm still working out the details to keep this from devolving into a namefag dick measuring contest. I hope you all will tune in, and in case you aren't caught up on your board's history, I've provided some links below to get you caught up:

Neat, though it would be nice having some universal board artfags helping out for boards that lack the technical know how on the ins and outs of pez.
Like 3d modeling for the players or custom fields, Id love to see a /co/ inspired one but most of us dont know how to edit pez.

Editing PES is almost entirely Blender. You can recolor/reskin existing PES stadiums, which is what I've done so far, but anything for editing players or the actual stadium structures is through Blender.

If you want to go the Blender route, look at the 4um wiki for their Cup. The PES 16 pages on Blender/Blender editing will tell you how to import the model files for players and edit them. As for the reskin route, I'm working on a tutorial for the wiki, it might be up tomorrow night.

The entries for the Infinity Cup are now closed. 24 teams total submitted the required base elements to be a valid entrant. While not the 32 I envisioned, 24 is still a viable number to host a tournament. The full list of 24 teams can be found at >>>/8cup/3322. A stream will be held at https://cytu.be/r/8cup , on August 4th in order to determine the Group Stage of the tournament. As one of the 24 boards participating, you will need to cobble together enough autism to complete the entry and fully personalize your team. What I need from your board is as follows:
Player Heights (http://infinitycup.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Rules#Player_Builds.2FAbilities)
Player Cards (http://infinitycup.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Player_Cards)
Team Strategy (http://infinitycup.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Team_Strategies)
Feel free to post the final pieces in here or in your thread on >>>/8cup/. A reminder that this is a call for any Blenderfags who are willing to help out to make faces/models for the players in game, as well as anyone with a nice voice and a microphone willing to be part of live commentary at one point or another. I also ask that the board vols please sticky this thread until the Cup is over so as to contain any shitposting, OC, banter, or Cupposting, as well as keep a highly visible place for remaining announcements to go.

The Group Draw is now complete. If you joined us for the stream, I hope you enjoyed the dumb autism. If you missed it, here's what happened. You've been placed into Group F with /tg/, /animu/, and /gts/ and your schedule is listed in pic related. With kickoff under a week away, now's the time for any trash talk, hype, and whatever else you want to do before everything starts.

Quarterfinal Preview
/christian/ vs /b/
Primers
/christian/
- Finished top of Group A

- Won their last Cup on a Winnie the Pooh goal at 90'+4
- Undefeated since losing to /bmn/ on January 12th (8 game streak)
- Current Golden Boot leader in St. Peter
- Yet to concede a goal this Cup
- Just try and stop them
/b/
- Finished second in Group B, behind /a/
- Conceded only 3 goals in 4 games
- Have yet to make it to the Semifinals in their history
- Play what is essentially a 7 man backline (5 backs, 2 DMFs)

Which team will you root for? Kickoff is Friday, 12 CST, 1 EST on https://cytu.be/r/8cup
Quarterfinal Preview
/kind/ vs /bmn/
Primers
/kind/
- Finished top of Group C
- Returning to the tournament for the first time since the 2015 Winter Cup
- 4 different goal scorers this tournament (tied for most among non-eliminated teams)
- Fan favorites include Gold forward Anti-Bully Ranger and the ever-joyful Kirby (non-medal DMF)
- Bronze forward Tender Hugging (4 goals) is currently tied for 3rd in the Golden Boot standings
/bmn/
- Finished second in Group D by virtue of a tiebreaker loss to /u/
- Conceded only a single goal across 4 official games (3 in 5, counting the tiebreaker match)
- Their 4-1 victory over /monster/ in the Round of 16 was their largest victory in team history
- Defeated /christian/ in their last Cup appearance, and followed that up with a shock upset of /a/ in the Round of 16.
- /bmn/ have improved with every Cup appearance: Debut Cup saw them lose in the Round of 16, next Cup ended with a Quarterfinals exit. Is a Semifinal berth in their future?
