/strek/

/strek/ is a new team entering the world of virtual football, but their history goes back over 50 years. With some of the finest names in Trek lore behind them, /strek/ looks to make their mark on 8chan and to prove once and for all who the best space franchise of all time is. 
==History==
===The 8chan Cup===
One of the new teams to join the Cup as part of its revamp, /strek/ drew into the last group of the tournament, with Summer 2015 finalists /christian/, Winter 2015 semifinalists /just/, and another debuting team in /dose/. Taking on /christian/ in their opening match, /strek/'s captain Swolecard made a bold statement, carving a swath through their opponent's hol(e)y back line and scoring a brace in the span of seven minutes. Buoyed by an own goal from /christian/, the Trekkies took the match 3-1, and announced their arrival as a new powerhouse of the Cup. /strek/'s second match against /dose/ wound up being a much tighter affair, but again it was the boot of their swole captain that would lead them to victory by a 1-0 scoreline. Despite sitting on top of the group with 6 points heading into the final day, /strek/ still had a chance to miss out on the knockouts. /christian/'s 3-2 victory over /dose/ gave the former finalists 6 points after 3 games, leaving the door open for a possible 6-6-6-0 group, with GD determining which team would be the odd one out. /strek/ owned a +3 GD heading into Group F's final match, with their opponent /just/ holding a +2, and /christian/ sweating over their earlier sins at an even 0. Only getting blown the fuck out would eliminate /strek/, which, given their earlier play, appeared an impossibility. By the 50th minute however, reality loomed very large over /strek/'s crew. A brace from Shia Labeouf, and goals from Brendan Fraser and Cliff Bleszinski left the Trekkies down 4-1 and face to face with elimination on 6 points. The tide turned quickly though. A goal from Marc Alaimo brought /strek/ out of the danger zone, and a second goal from Swolecard pushed the team further into safety. Not content with mere safety however, the team continued to push. An 89th minute goal from William Shatner made the match 4-4, and /just/ suddenly found themselves in danger of elimination. Scrambling for a goal that would save their Cup campaign, /just/ left the door open for a final blow. In stoppage time, Swolecard would complete his hat trick, giving his team a 5-4 victory, tops in the group, and a bye through to the Quarterfinals of the Knockout Stage.
Resting through the First Round, /strek/ watched and waited for the winner of /tg/ vs. /test/ to emerge. With a 5-3 victory, the winners of Group A, /tg/, earned the right to try and stop the Cup's space-exploring juggernauts. /tg/ would welcome /strek/ to the Quarterfinals with the gift of a 1-0 lead, an own goal going in off Protection from NTR. A 50th minute effort from Doomrider saw the game brought to level, but /strek/ were bent on not wasting their chance to advance. Their response took only four minutes, with Miles O'Brien putting away the game winning goal and sending the crew to the Semifinals. The bracket brought /strek/ an opponent in /ita/, another dominant new team, fresh off a penalty shootout victory over /liberty/. /ita/ would earn first blood in the 2nd minute, putting /strek/ behind the 8 ball early, but a goal from Miles O'Brien in the 23rd minute would draw them level. The two teams would trade goals again in the 2nd half, sending the game to extra time tied at 2. Despite giving up a goal in the 93rd minute, /strek/ would again find comfort and salvation in the biceps of their captain, with Swolecard scoring his second of the game in the 117th minute to send the game to penalty kicks. In the penalty shootout, the teams would trade saved penalties in the 3rd round, sending affairs to sudden death. With the game on the line, defender Ezri Dax stepped up to the spot, and was denied by /ita/ goalkeeper Matteo Salvini, ending /strek/'s debut run in the Semifinals. With the Third Place Game still left to play, a dejected /strek/ put forward easily their worst effort of the tournament, dropping a 4-0 decision to Cup veterans /bane/, earning the team a nonetheless impressive 4th place finish in their first ever Cup.
