The representing team for 8chan's anime and manga board, /a/ is a member of /icup/'s Original 16 and the winner of the inaugural Infinity Cup. One of the most successful -- if not the most successful team -- in /icup/ history, /a/ is the only team in to finish in a top 4 placement in consecutive tournaments. Using the power of cute 2D girls and cute 2D boys, /a/ have found themselves with great success during their time in /icup/ and remain a force to be reckoned with.
History
Infinity Cup I
/a/ virtually defied all expectations given to it in the days leading up to /icup/ I. Boasting an incredible attack backed up by a stellar defense, /a/ opened its 2015 cup run with a 6-2 smashing of /monster/, which it quickly proved to be no fluke when it edged out /bane/ 5-3 in the quarterfinals thanks to a huge second half effort by Dio Brando. Even /v/, the other board in the Infinity Cup's version of the Tsundere Bowl, proved no match for /a/, losing 5-1 in its worst defeat to date. By the time /a/ met the other finalist, /christian/, it had amassed 16 goals while giving up just 6, one of the best goal differentials in the entire cup. Although opinion on the victor of the first Infinity Cup final in history was divided, a solid performance by /a/ locked up an easy 8-5 victory for the Meidos, and /a/ came home as the first champions of the Infinity Cup, with 24 goals in just four matches.
Infinity Cup II
After this dominant performance, /a/ went into Infinity Cup II as the team to beat. In a shocking turn of events, however, /co/ shut out /a/ in their first match of the Winter Cup, coming away with a 2-0 victory. For a brief while, /a/ seemed to be in danger of outright being eliminated from the cup in the group stages. Nonetheless, /a/ fought back, and a 3-1 victory over /hebe/ in the next match put /a/ back in the driver's seat, where a 3-2 victory against /cow/ locked /a/ in second place for Group A.
Although back in it to win it, /a/ experienced troubles in its Round of 16 opener against /his/, where for the first 77 minutes, neither team could score. In the fleeting moments of the match, though, Nano came through with a goal, which narrowly pushed /a/ to a 1-0 victory against the /his/torians. Similar circumstances in the Quarterfinal match against /starwars/ by Kaisaru Reinhardo again produced a narrow 2-1 victory for the reigning champions. At the last hurdle before the /icup/ II Finals, however, /a/ finally met its match in the Semifinals match against fellow Original 16 titan /tv/. Still another time, the match was in deadlock at 2-2 with just a few minutes remaining before extra time. Unfortunately for /a/, their late-game magic had run out, and Jean-Luc Picard put a ball in the back of the net in the 84th minute, propelling /tv/ (who went on to lose the final) to a 3-2 victory over /a/ and preventing a repeat. This left /a/ to vie for third place with /bane/ (who had lost to eventual champions /leftypol/ in an equally close match) in a game that /a/ went on to lose 3-2. However, despite this medal-robbing loss, /a/ had managed to pull a second impressive run in a cup full of equally impressive teams.

Rivalries
/bane/ - The Pl/a/ne Scene |
First meeting in the Quarterfinals of the 2015 Summer Infinity Cup, /a/'s rivalry with The Big Guys ended in a 5-3 /a/ victory on their way to winning the inaugural championship. In the 2015 Winter Infinity Cup, the two teams seemed destined for a collision course in the Final. However after losing their respective Semifinal matches, the two teams had to settle for a battle over 3rd Place. /bane/ ended up taking that match and evening the rivalry at one win apiece. The rivalry continued as the two teams were drawn into the same group for The 8chan Cup. After a 1-1 draw to open up the Group Stage, the two teams collided again in the Quarterfinals, with /bane/ emerging victorious in a 1-0 victory. This last meeting has given /bane/ the edge in the matchup, and the two have yet to meet since. |
1-1-2 |
/co/ - East vs West |
Cartoons or Anime? Whenever the two come within 50 miles of each other, a slew of ruined threads and shitflinging is sure to follow. Those pleasantries have extended to the pitch, with /a/ and /co/ facing off twice in Cup history. Drawn into the same group for the 2015 Winter Infinity Cup, /co/ took their matchup by a score of 2-0, though /a/ got the last laugh by advancing on 6 points, leaving /co/ at the bottom with 3. The two teams would not meet again for almost four years. Working their respective ways through the 2019 Summer Infinity Cup, the two collided in the Quarterfinals, with /co/ again getting the best of /a/, this time by a score of 3-0. Does this mean cartoons are better than anime? When it comes to the pitch, it seems that statement is true. |
