It was that fucking goalkeeper. Saved our last good opportunity when Miror B. had a really good chance. Don't blame the strikers honestly. they were all aces, especially when we really needed it to advance.
Anyway I really have been sitting on this for a while, and it was either we made it to the finals or something to keep up with Ash's chokemagic or this. I really should have started planning out what I was going to type.
I'm retiring from /vp/ management.
I kind of never imagined I was going to be the /vp/ manager to take it all the way or break the curse -- or, well, one of them -- I always kind of thought I'd be interim and try to keep up the yo-yo until the miracle happened. But I think I've done my best for the team until then -- I ran polls, I used the /vg/ League to practice in the offseason, I aggressively recruited managers all the way to here. And, well, I really think lads like Reso have gotten better since when I first took up the mantle while I plateued.
I managed against /d/ this cup, and I have to say that was when I remembered I loved this cup so much. I fucking choked back tears when Fug hit that last goal against /out/'s goalpost, but the thing was that that was really more of Reso and the others's effort when in my own tests against /out/ I could only score 5 goals in ten games. And that's why I believe it's time to move on. Maybe I'll come back. Maybe I'll help /vp/ as a manager again soon, or help /vg/ because I'm a faggot who likes generals? I dunno. I can still run polls and shitpost in /vp/ gamethreads and I'll always be there to cheer them on when >we finally make it farther than this.
But for now, cheers, lads. It's been a great honor to be part of a /vp/ team that pulled off this miracle, and my great joy to have been part of this cup. Until next time, viva la /vp/.
