Hey
I'm thinking of signing up to commentate here in the VGL
Any tips?
Ayden Ortiz
Tips are in the wiki. Check mic, check your audio with a friend and that your background audio isn't picked up by a mic, etc etc
Don't put your volumes like Kekkles (ie screeching)
Don't be nervous, if you can't colour commentate just take it easy and talk about boards and memes and the cup and what's happening on screen instead of staying silent (no no, I wasn't muted.) Those are awkward.

Hot Takes
Group A /llsifg/ is bad and not even drunken magic can save them. Fortunately /feg/ is literally free. /hsg/ will go deep again and /ffg/ will also promote and may even make the final day.
Group B Tech 9 points lol. /hanny/ and /meg/ managers couldn't promote their way out of a paper bag and /rsg/ has gone with three medal CBs. Retard fight for second in the group but whoever it will be will be out in the round of 16.
Group C /gsg/ only have one striker so won't be able to expose /gbfg/ on the counter but they are still more than enough for /@/ and /tfg/. /gsg/ and /gbfg/ to promote.
Group D /domg/ has fun tactics but they won't work on anyone but /lolg/. /drg/ and /mggg/ fighting it out for top spot in this group.
Group E /xcg/ will top and again go far while /civ4xg/ will sneak one win against /lzg/ or /aog/. Not really sure which one of /lzg/ or /aog/ will promote but I'm leaning towards /lzg/.
Group F Literally free for /sp/ and /nepgen/ back down to fetus. I think /aceg/ is more likely to promote than /utg/ because >buying PES.
Group G /twg/ and /skg/ are two pretty easy picks to promote. I really don't like /fgog/'s export and the /ksg/ manager is an idiot.
Group H /5N@F/ is strong defensively but you would expect everyone but SDA to figure out how to beat an autopilot. /vitagen/ and /rs07g/ to promote.
Champion: /xcg/ Wooden Spoon: /tfg/

>the /ksg/ manager is an idiot You say that as if the other managers in that group weren't idiots as well. Besides, Bear is the one managing /ksg/.

>Group B >Tech 9 points lol. /hanny/ and /meg/ managers couldn't promote their way out of a paper bag and /rsg/ has gone with three medal CBs. Retard fight for second in the group but whoever it will be will be out in the round of 16. depending on how full-retard /meg/ and /rsg/ go /ffg/ might not even be the third best team in that group lol. /hanny/ should easily advance with second being whoever fucks up least (so probably /ffg/ lel)
>Group F >Literally free for /sp/ and /nepgen/ back down to fetus. I think /aceg/ is more likely to promote than /utg/ because >buying PES. /nepgen/ are solid this league, basic as all get out but still solid. /aceg/ are less solid but still ok this league (although i question still running the nemo special gold CMF to SS fluid after the failure that was VGL7 and in a game where gold CMFs are LITERALLY the best players in the game without needing to play SS half the game). /utg/ are trash running a fucking 5-3-2 with defensive goalkeepers and a manager who's already even more of an idiot than fucking leo (and at least leo has bear to check his bullshit, who the fuck knows whether CA is puppeteering this time). asspe-i mean /sog/ should top and then it's winner of /aceg/-/nepgen/ or failing that whoever scores more

Please kindly give me crash course on formations and tictacs so I can shitpost about it with you all.
Andrew Jenkins
Rate any teams with semi-sensible cards and formations. Overrate anyone with a 1-striker formation or FOUR-FOUR-FACKIN-TWO. Meme on anyone who does 4-3-3 in TYOOL 2017. 3-6-1 is elite. If they copied it from the main cup it's good. Meme managers copying good formations is "if they don't breathe they win".
Dominic Anderson
Step 1: If any team is running defensive GKs, immediately assume they're trash. Step 2: If any team is running 5 at the back, immediately assume they're trash. Especially if they're also running defensive GKs. Step 3: If it's a /y/, /pg/, or /feg/ export, assume it's trash. Step 4: If it's not /yourteam/, assume it's trash. It probably is. Step 5: If it's /yourteam/, congratulations on having the best export in the cup. Unless /yourteam/ is /y/, /pg/, /feg/, or running defensive GKs or 5 at the back. If /yourteam/ is two or more of these then it's double trash. Step 6: Always remember that /myteam/ > /yourteam/. btw don't listen to this idiot , 4-3-3 is still really good
Nicholas Clark
>semi-sensible cards You lost me.
Eli Morales
Know which managers are trash and then just say their team is shit because the manager is retarded.
This means /feg/ /hanny/ /meg/ /utg/ /ksg/ /skg/ and especially /pg/
Ian Williams
basically if they're not running maydave-tier pick it out of a hat cards or shit like low punt trajectory CF (>lark) it's semi-sensible unless it's shit like defensive GK in which case the manager is either stupid or memeing or possibly both also trick cards have been total fucking shit for ages but they're maybe decent now? i mean winter's golden boot used basically all trick cards 5 free trick cards per team W H E N who the fuck cares if they activate as frequently as /r9k/ users get girlfriends having free trick cards would be fun
Brayden Peterson
>low punt trajectory CF Oh I remember having this on LCIM in 16.
Isaiah Green
>winter's golden boot one off the golden boot even. fuck /out/
This seems oddly specific. Which team is running 5 atb with def GKs?
Brody Richardson
Also remember the the three teams that /yourteam/ drew are good no matter what and that you have to post that /yourteam/ drew a group of death.
Samuel Scott
/utg/
Dominic Green
Unless you're /lolg/ in which you can bang on saying your group is literally free
Caleb Kelly
>buying PES >running 5 at the back >running defensive keeper
Is this our first new meme manager since >one card per player?
Aaron Williams
/utg/ they also have pinpoint crossing on their silver CB and their CF, acro finishing+heel trick on fullbacks, long range drive on DMFs, and build up on their 77 CBs anything better than 2 points from them would surprise me
Ethan Anderson
Don't forget >silver CB
Anthony Lewis
They're actually pretty hard to beat, they just have zero offence. Wouldn't surprise me to see some cheeky PES slurper.
Hunter Johnson
>testing against /utg/ Hello Twain
Kayden Nelson
Reminder that Veeky Forums got to an elite final using a completely meme card setup
Dominic Bell
that's why i said i don't think they'll do better than 2 points /utg/'s matches are all either gonna be 1-0 /utg/ losses or 0-0 draws, probably the former because they commit double sins of having zero offense and running the empty nets that are defensive GKs
Zachary Peterson
I ran like 5 matches with the first set of sliders that crossed my mind. 3 wins and 2 draws, of which one slurper. And that's without bothering to actually adjust stuff.

Golden age of "Wow, I can't fucking wait for /m/ to win. AGAIN. Jesus Christ those a arrogant fucks think they're so fucking tough by picking on unprepared teams, what a load of shit. What's the point of having a friendly if we know what the result will be anyways Fucking /m/ ruining the cup, they should be out." again when?
Jeremiah Powell
when pes12 or pes16 comes back
Anthony Fisher
>Reminder that Veeky Forums got to an elite final using a completely meme card setup This is true. Cards are probably the least important part of tactic making. However, having sensible cards is generally a good indication of whether a manager knows what they're doing or not.

I want one of each for my collection, but I'll never buy one because I know Maydave uses them to clean up his victims.
