GREETINGS /u/
The 4th edition of the 8chan Cup is fast approaching. First kickoff is set for January 4th, 2019 at 08:00PM UTC and your board is a part of it. The Cup will be a 32 team tournament, first with a group stage followed by the 16 team Knockout Round, all to determine a champion board of the site. The 3rd editon of the Cup saw the debut of 15 different boards, all of which are returning to shoot for glory once again, amongst revived boards and a few new ones as well. The Cup is being defended by >>>/christian/, who grinded out a 1-0 victory in the Finals over newcomers >>>/ita/. Eternal powerhouse >>>/bane/ managed to claim 3rd place over >>>/strek/ by stopping the Trekkies potent offense and pouring on four goals of their own. For a full breakdown of the 2018 Summer Cup, please take a look at the wiki http://infinitycup.shoutwiki.com/wiki/The_8chan_Cup
In 2019, your board has been drawn into Group C, with /genesis/, /tg/, and /hgg/. Please use this thread for pre-tournament hype and also any MINOR tweaks that may need to be made.

Why 2 on the far wings? That leaves the center exposed for people to pass up but also makes it harder to pass to forwards.

The middle is always crowded and hard to get ball position. When playing defense, 4 defenders is more likely enough to stop the middle.

They could have at least got someone who can actually run the game to do this. That and this 8cup feels like a low effort rerun of the last but with more shitpost boards.
They should have waited a year and pick a better, modable game so we could have shitty custom models for players and custom arenas.

This is an issue and was for the last cup as well. Credit to the 8chan Mania guy because he stepped up and did it when no one else would. That 8cup did turn out to be decent and somewhat fun. This time round there's no excuse for running it on an unstable toaster. Especially when the instability of the machine that it runs on is effecting the results. For context, when I pirated PES 2017 to test the settings for the last cup, I was able to run it at full settings on a Bulldozer and midrange workstation card. I don't understand why there is difficulty finding someone with a PC that was built this decade to run it.
