Today's the deadline for export submissions. Will any team miss the deadline and be penalised or even expelled? Who knows, but most probably not.
Group stage draw is tomorrow (Saturday). Sup Forums is pot 4, and will play in this order: against pot 2, pot 3 and finally pot 1. Probably the easiest group possible would be with /adv/, /soc/ and /out/. Probably the hardest group would be with /mlp/, /fit/ and Sup Forums. I'm just speculating there though, some of the teams haven't even submitted an export yet.
I can promise you we have a competitive export. I can't promise you the trophy because PES 17 is a wild horse, the kind where you win a match 5-0 then lose the next one 1-3 on the very same settings. However it's an export that can definitely win the cup, it's just a question of whether Lady Luck will play pranks on us or no.
Anthony Jenkins
Did SKEEEUP make the team as a last second walk-on?
Lucas Moore
Sorry, but no, the roster was finalised a while back. Maybe in summer. (Hopefully in summer.)
Samuel Scott
All teams turned their exports in, no penalties. Here's the pots for the draw.
Jason Murphy
>Sup Forums, /fit/, Sup Forums, Sup Forums is a possible group
Isaiah Howard
>no Sup Forums
we're free
Jaxon Lee
There was no risk of Sup Forums being in Elites anyway. They're technically (I'm not expecting it to actually happen) in the Foetus. >/jp/ contributed to us breaking the memecurse twice
Adam Miller
I'm calling it here and now, Sup Forums will stand tall again
Noah Jones
>Punished Messi hasn't been changed to le "footy lad" look
Elijah Rogers
People voted to keep him as is. If there's any consolation, his shirt name is le footy lad.
James Martinez
>That Leicester ball I made years ago is still getting used
Neato
Jason Allen
What's Sup Forums like these days? I seem to remember they had a Blackpool tier disaster run.
Daniel Garcia
Haven't gotten out of the Foetus for an entire year.
Jayden Bennett
Jesus. They have quite a big fanbase as well. For all we might complain about not winning it could be worse.
Brayden Perez
Last cup /y/ outright threw a match to keep them from promoting
Thomas Nguyen
>tfw part time /out/ supporter
haha! jokes on you! were only pretending to be retarded!
Tyler Thomas
Let's go Sup Forums (But no by much)
Luis Morris
Are these pictures visible in-game? Will they be shown on stream during the tournament?
Sebastian Carter
yes, that's the new tactical screen
Gavin Brooks
Oh right, they're on PES17 now. Gameplay is more or less the same though?
Joshua Martin
Actually looks a bit like real footie this time, but woefully unpredictable and erratic. Apparently lang baal works and gegenpressing is now a thing.
David Baker
I found the perfect victory anthem for when we inevitably blow out the horses
Henry Garcia
Oh wow, it's always been a coin toss, how much more unpredictable can it get? At what what point managers become completely powerless?
Lang baal works sometimes, more often than not you're losing. But when it works, it's a blowout. That said, I'm performing some experiments to see if I can make it more reliable.
Gegenpressing is a complete meme. While it has a visible effect on screen, it doesn't actually work, and uses up a lot of stamina.
Consider the following: last summer we were highly likely to win or draw against /out/, the actual match just happened to be an outlier. Against /c/ I knew from the moment I started testing that we were going to be fucked. PES 16 was inconsistent, but you could notice certain trends. In PES 17 you either have a completely retarded formation that alwats loses or a decent formation with random results. Adaptive AI might actually be real.
Jack Wright
oogba booga were the good meems at?
Connor Lee
>implying memes are good
Also, draw is in one hour. Here's hoping it goes better than Palace's match.
Juan Thompson
Stream is live, draw any time now.
Benjamin Turner
Who do we want?
Ryder Adams
An autistic German
Wyatt Jones
why are there only 3 medals? romania what did you do?
Hudson Wright
Not any of /mlp/, /gd/, /m/, /r9k/, /d/ (I haven't lost against the manager but as a first fixture would be extremely difficult due to the unpredictable tactics), /fit/, /f/. Pretty much everything else goes. Maybe /adv/ or /asp/ from pot 1, /an/ or /s4s/ from pot 2, /p/ or /out/ from pot 3.
William Stewart
Don't look at the formation, the screenshot only showcases the player portraits, nothing more, nothing less.
Also draw live.
Luke Lee
