Welcome back to the 2017 Summer Elite Cup, one and all. The last day of GRIP Weekend is upon the boyz in blue, and we're up against the biggest challenge we've had this weekend- a fight to finish with our good friends from the FLGS, /m/!
Win and we're through to the knockouts, and we're in for one roaring fight!

Friday's battle with Veeky Forums ended up poorly with some unfortunate PESing with two blooters from way outside the box killing that attempt on getting to the knockouts, but the Colony is Dropping and that might be our platform to victory when we take on /m/. (Kick off 1700 UTC, 1:30 pm EDT)
Right after that, keep an eye on /vp/ and Veeky Forums, and hold onto your dice and praise RNGesus, because it's one last match between to lock our group down and see who will stay Elite! (1730 UTC, 1 pm EDT) Be sure to stick around to see the end of GRIP WEEKEND and the Knockout rounds draw.
IT'S TIME FO' FOOTSLOGGIN' BOYZ. GET HYP, TONIGHT, TODAY!

Jack Williams
Let's hope we made the right choices at character creation...
Jaxon Hernandez
/m/ here, may the best team win
Liam Jackson
IF YOU ARE THAT ONE FAG FROM LAST THREAD DON'T EVEN TOUCH THE FUCKING DICE.
Camden Lopez
We intend to, but we look forwards to the battle none the less. Ditto to you /m/.
Robert Baker
For a bit of pre-match discussion: people have been wanting a roster poll.
If you have suggestions for changes, please specify them here so we can work them into the poll. Said poll will probably end up happening during the knockout weekend, though the exact timing will depend somewhat on future events.
Do keep in mind we'll hold to our philosophy of balanced representation: not too many players from any one franchise.
Robert Ramirez
You bastards better give us a good fight. I won't accept anything less.
Cameron Bailey
Player called "Stat me" with an owl bear blender.
Elijah Murphy
Put emps and doomrider back where they belong
David Martin
What do you mean? Doomrider is where he belongs.
I agree to the Emperah being back in the Golden Goal however. We need that Girlyman blender on the pitch.
Hudson Morris
>Girlyman Emprah, Tankred and Doomrider is more than enough. We don't need anymore 40k than those.
David Thomas
give cocaineboi his gold medal back
Dominic Morgan
We already have girlyman though, and his blender is fantastic. I'm not a big fan of the smurfs either, but you can't deny that the blender looks great.
Just swap him and the Emprah, and stick him in the midfield.
Ian Brooks
Put Emprah and Creed back where they belong. Remove Girlyman.
Xavier Cooper
I'm at a very weird point where Tankred really wormed his way into my heart as goalie, but Emprah isn't cutting it on offense. Perhaps we need to cut him and just bring back our boy Creed for the elite offense.
Nolan Watson

Emprah, why must you abandon us in our hour of need?
Lucas Hill
Damnit we fought bitterly to the end.
Hudson Garcia
Okay Veeky Forums. You fucked up by having both Golds never taking shots. At least 1 striker should be a Gold.
Wyatt Gonzalez
We chaos now Emprah out Horus in
Bentley Fisher
why are you laughing at ants?
Julian Wilson
It was an honor, Veeky Forums. Thanks for the tough fight.
Dominic Allen
THE EMPEROR DEFECTS!
Lincoln Ortiz
Remove Emprah bring back Creed bring back Golden strikers
David Davis
no not Horus Archaon.
Jose Flores
Who thought it was a good idea for both Emperor and Doomrider to be silvers instead of gold? Weren't they both gold before?
Carson Gonzalez
Let's go home, boys.
Wish /m/ luck.
Eli Morgan
Good luck.
Cooper Perry
What a game. Guys... We're sorry. And we're still not safe. In a fair world, we would have made it together.
Cameron Cox
A draw mean both team were out.
Luke Brown
It hurts.
As much as it sucks though, all our hopes ride with you now, /m/. Carry the standard of FLGS to the knockouts. (hopefully)
Isaac Martin
Emperor confirmed for useless dead skellington
Easton Long
Good game /m/.
Adrian Adams
/toy/ still has a chance...
Asher Allen
Least we get to play again in Autumn, Only 12 weeks, not 24 weeks.
even if /m/ advances, we both lose, because we couldn't do it together.. ;-;
Jaxon Sullivan
We made it from fetus to elite group stage in the smallest number of cups possible.
Not a bad run.
Sebastian Hill
Vote to replace Emprah with Chaos Gods?
Ian Torres
Always next tournament, battle brother. You guys had the better day.
Ayden Collins
Yeah, Emps needs to go back to playing a goalie.
Bentley Richardson
As long as Marquod has anything to do with our team, we'll keep losing.
Josiah Hernandez
Well I'm gonna go back and watch the Winter 2015 cup and cry. Till next time.
Christian Long
is marqoud in any sort of management role now? i thought he was essentially our pr guy at this point.
William Turner
Well, fuck.
If we gotta lose, it's good to lose in favout of someone we like, at least. Now it's time to see if /m/ can actually make it and save some FLGS honour.
Also, we should get working on prep for the next outing in Autumn. We could always use more tactical and aesthetics help, so if you want to contribute to the team, head over to the Discord linked higher up to help us out.
A further announcement about our future plans coming up soon.
Good thing for you I have basically no tactical input in the tactics, then.
Adam Young
Urist was ROBBED ;_;
Brayden Reed
Go home /sp/. Our guys are still new and improving, give them a little longer.
Asher Gray
WE DEMAND URIST GET'S HIS RIGHTFUL 7.0 MVP!
Michael Cooper
...
John Turner
Sack Doomrider.
Logan Allen
We need our golden strikers back.
Kevin Ward
Keep Doomrider, but Emprah has been consistently shit during spring and summer, I feel we should move him back onto the throne.
