The first match to both start and complete would be '''Fiv95 vs. dew''', having their whole match done before the first rounds of each match were even due. With the serve being a musical trip featuring many 3D visuals and background music by the group Can, [[dew]] would take this into a direction she had not previously attempted. In her Round 2 she constructed a "pseudo plot" using an animated rabbit from Fiv's serve and a masked cutout of Peter Gabriel from The Barry Williams Show music video and have them get into an "argument", with speech text provided by pixelated words created by dew on a site called Minifesto. She would then proceed to have the rabbit "become angry" and glow red, and chase Peter Gabriel throughout other scenes of the round with "Happy With What You Have to Be Happy With" by King Crimson serving as the backing music for this segment. Notable throughout this piece are the stairs that are formed out of sped-up-and-repeated section of the previous round and the physically unaltered state of many of the more visual parts, which was a very daring and contrasting move on dew's part, who was worried about what it would do to the round's overall strength at first. Following this the music changes to the quieter "The Power to Believe II" also by King Crimson, in which the Rabbit becomes sucked into a void accentuated by one of the more unique sounds from the serve, and is whisked away to a psychedelic aura of different panning sounds and the echoing ambiance of Marvin Gaye's song "Whats Happening Brother" playing in the distance. Also distinct about the video is the use of the Talking Heads' "Once in a LifeTime" music video which dew described as "the most chroma keyable thing I had ever found and wanted to use in my life" over other visual sections of the round, done so frequently in recursive ways that she found most appealing. | The first match to both start and complete would be '''Fiv95 vs. dew''', having their whole match done before the first rounds of each match were even due.

'''Cornflakes vs. iamoutofideas1''' is probably the most experimental match of the Gameweek, with both going for a very performance-driven way of doing their rounds. Cornflakes’ serve had an emphasis on atmosphere, with footage of roads and some of his trademark sources (notably Street Fighter), set to a piano-driven remix of Boards of Canada's ''Olson''. iamoutofideas’ response was heavily revolving on footage from him playing the serve on a television, using a tape recorder to create a high pitched sound, and playing another source on another TV. Cornflakes would then embrace this idea by doing the same with his own elements, while still including more straightforward elements as well. Ideas’ last round has no editing whatsoever, as it’s a 6-minute cut-less take of him doing a live video performance in a very slow, eerie pace, using the same tape recorder as before, as well as some more added media shown on a different screen. The raw score showed a preference for Cornflakes (7.50 against 6.9 for iamoutofideas’), and the three penalties ideas got for lateness and length dropped his score at 4.84, while Cornflakes got one for length, downgrading at 6.75. This would be the only match of this Division to fully complete. | '''Cornflakes vs. iamoutofideas1''' is probably the most experimental match of the Gameweek, with both going for a very performance-driven way of doing their rounds.

The idea of '''ZACHTOMCAT vs. InLivingTuna''' sounded better on paper than it ended up working out. ZACHTOMCAT, who had been around since 2011, recently emerged with a very destructive and atmospheric style inspired mainly by therazoredge which had pushed his videos to artistic heights that left even people who knew him stunned, and at the same time newcomer InLivingTuna had began making a name for himself due to his superkoffee and Butcher inspired style of sloppy editing and harsh use of puppet pin and color curves. While ZACHTOMCAT played very impressively, making a serve that used many destructive effects and imaginative color manipulations, InLivingTuna found himself at a personal and creative low, eventually uploading a volley made in only an hour. ZACH responded with full force, making a round 3 that featured extensive audio editing and inventive uses of geometric shapes. It was at this point, however, that things fell apart harder in InLivingTuna's life. Faced with the constant homophobia of his town and receiving physical abuse at his school because of it, he attempted suicide by jumping in front of a van partially through making his final round, prompting a rather notable and unfortunate moment in which he had to ask for an extension from inside the emergency room. His finished product would wind up becoming not particularly noteworthy, being a mostly humorous response that only minimally edited the previous round. The final score for this match would end up inevitably in favor of ZACHTOMCAT, who received a score of 6.23 while InLivingTuna walked away with a staggeringly small 4.23, the lowest score of the first gameweek. | The idea of '''ZACHTOMCAT vs. InLivingTuna''' sounded better on paper than it ended up working out.

'''ravinrabbid vs. Peskeh''' saw the volleying player's official tournament debut and being an already known figure for their unique visual style brought about a great air of anticipation for the match that was to go underway. The serve began the match with Jason Derulo feat. 2 Chainz - Talk Dirty, Wand of Gamelon("HHHHHHH, TWO CHAIIINSSS"), Poison - Talk Dirty to Me, the Charlie Brown Christmas Dance, Skull Trumpet and Heavy Rain footage, with JaconketronCT positively noting the Poison usage and commenting that Peskeh would have plenty to work with. LaVieCestLol commented "That's a serve. That's a sexy serve." | '''ravinrabbid vs. Peskeh''' saw the volleying player's official tournament debut and being an already known figure for their unique visual style brought about a great air of anticipation for the match that was to go underway.

'''NataliaHTTPS vs. ProfessorCheeseBall''' revolved right off the bat by an odd choice of source by Swiss newcomer NataliaHTTPS, footage of trains edited in a humorous, frantic way. While being stylistically very straightforward, revolving on earrape and very fast paced editing, it’s still recognized as a very entertaining match, with both contestants responding with equal passion and technicity. The scores were in favour of PCB (8.03 against 7.56 for Natalia, who got a point for tying in) but both contestants have been equally praised for their work. | '''NataliaHTTPS vs. ProfessorCheeseBall''' revolved right off the bat by an odd choice of source by Swiss newcomer NataliaHTTPS, footage of trains edited in a humorous, frantic way.

The mere announcement of '''ThemOldaBoys vs. GameBop''' caused much uproar among the tennis community. ThemOldaBoys had become well known for his humorous SantaWithTeeth/MTB710 inspired style, but despite expressing an interest in tennis, he had played very little before the tournament. Few people, however, expected such an unlikely opponent as seasoned tennis veteran and two-time tournament winner GameBop to be his very first challenger in the league. The match itself began with a very absurd and comedic serve by ThemOldaBoys, using a derrickcomedy.com sketch as the source. GameBop's round 2 was the focus of much speculation, but he blew most people's perceptions when he, rather then use his routine style, opted to play off Olda's jokes as much as possible, including the addition of a "Sonic Skateboard" source to play off a skateboarding joke make in the serve. This style of playing off each other's jokes would be seen again in round 3 by ThemOldaBoys which impressively took the match in a much more technical style than the previous rounds. GameBop would pick up on this, and round 4 would ultimately be a culmination of every thematic element being built up in the match, featuring not only all of the jokes used in previous rounds, but also playing off some of Olda's effects resulting in some interesting uses of color changing and even a brief YTPMV that played off the main character laughing in round 3. This match was very well received and widely regarded as the best match of the first gameweek, and the voting reflects that. Despite the win going to GameBop with a score of 8.73, Olda also walked off with a similarly high score of 7.62. | The mere announcement of '''ThemOldaBoys vs. GameBop''' caused much uproar among the tennis community.

As TheChutley's last tournament was the Tennis Cup IV back in 2012, anticipation for the start of '''JowlHog4 vs. TheChutley''' was naturally very high especially considering the dramatic transformation that his style had undergone in the preceding years. Jowlhog had also been relatively absent from the video making scene for some time, echoing this in that he described his serve as his "first yyoutubbe pop in 7 years :O". The serve itself took among the longest of any other serve in the first week to be delivered, emphasized by TheChutley's humorous impatience in the time leading up to it's posting, and was a curiously unique video, featuring a large visual musical segment taking up a large portion of the video and a heavily reverbed ending featuring with robotnik, with a couple of unedited images thrown in as well that would see TheChutley making great usage of. Round 2 added several images including one made by dew herself of Donald Fagen (though he didn't know who it was amongst other characters in his images) along with his Round 5 with LaVieCestLol, "Secks" by McMANGOS, three ".wmv" videos, the ever-familiar "Safety Dance" and "Dare to be Stupid" music videos and a snapshot from a steam chat along with a large variety of songs by artists such as Elton John, Jethro Tull, Harry Nilsson, Collective Soul, Rush and Elvis Presley as well as self-generated speakonia text, all coming together in a ridiculous cataclysm that perfectly reflected upon TheChutley's new more absurdist editing methods, and was very positively recieved by spectators. valkiriforce called it "both new and classic Chutley" while TehShadzify said it was one of the most interesting matches they've seen so far, with dew expressing excitement over the use of her gifs in TheChutley's videos. | As TheChutley's last tournament was the Tennis Cup IV back in 2012, anticipation for the start of '''JowlHog4 vs. TheChutley''' was naturally very high especially considering the dramatic transformation that his style had undergone in the preceding years.

Round 3 was introduced by Jowl with "hey felas herre i am with ruond 3 of this tenis macth. I wass late Bcause i had schoolwork and chiptunes to do and teh video refussed to render but it's OKnow because i wa abile to split the video into 4 parts and so heer is" and was overall a less-heavily edited video but served to follow-up signifigant bits including a text generation speech clip talking about magmalord's banning from the Youchew forums via being an "annoying memelord twat" and "being hammered by Kermit the Frog in an act of cold-blooded murder". TheChutley called this response "Excellent" and a couple of days later delivered his final round that added in "A lot of shit that I'm not gonna list. You're welcome to try and spot 'em all though! 0w0". Among the added material was Pulp Fiction, several miscellaneous images and sources possibly contributed as suggestions from friends (as was a sporadic practice in how he went about choosing sources around this time) and a text generation speech this time talking about himself and how it is important to have fingers, for without them one is a Nazi and that if one is a Nazi one must become a balloon, and so on. The video's title of "Anime was a Fucking Mistake" was declared by Captain Stewpid in the comments to be true, with a "what the fuck is this" comment getting the highest amount of upvotes. CaptainStringCheese mentioned he "fucking loved this match" due to it's creativity and ravinrabbid called it "amazing". TheChutley in turn became the obvious winner with a score of 8.63 versus Jowl's 7.15. | Round 3 was introduced by Jowl with "hey felas herre i am with ruond 3 of this tenis macth.

'''fiv95 vs. CorruptionSound''' kicked off with a serve that fiv apologized for being "too technical", a video very reliant on heavy visuals but otherwise unrelated and humorous audio accompaniment, ending with a photo of Conrad Slater with a color filter. CorruptionSound took this as a hint to "get less lazy in editing" and responded with a Round 2 that by contrast was heavily reliant on added sources, with much of the previous round being edited in the beginning and the end, but responding to the style of humor by adding in a random picture of a "thumbs up kid" that TheChutley gave positive mention to towards the beginning. Round 3 responded in a similar fashion to Round 1 with CorruptionSound noting the thumbnail which perfectly captured a moment in which the "thumbs up kid" image had the thumb turned downwards and his face replaced with a frowning Mr. Clean from Round 2. The former image was also used more extensively throughout this video with much databending used to transition between sources. LaVieCestLol called this round "fucking incredible". Round 4 manage to have a thumbnail respond to the previous one by having the entire head replaced with "Mr. Quaker Oats", and overall editing the previous round much more strongly, making rather unique use of databending effects to make the artifacts flow into each other which was another aspect that TheChutley made positive note of. The video ended with the text of "Sod off to your fistfucked tennis lounch, you twats. The match's over!" and Razerek did their own review of the match, reaching the consensus that "Honestly, I think Gab did better that CorruptionSound here.

InLivingTuna had by this point dropped out of the tournament and his replacement created the match of '''LaVieCestLol vs. HardcoreMormonFuckingMachine'''. No one had ever heard or seen this particular player before and a few players thought it was an obscure alt of someone, as the style that they displayed in this first match was highly unusual. While LaVie's Serve would feature a blend of sources that are reminiscent of Tuna's tastes (notably VSauce and Game Grumps), HMFM would add Mama Luigi as well as fetish videos of people humping inflatable objects, and proceed in a oddly-paced, almost-underedited vibe which was in 2:35 video format. LaVie would respond in an experimental manner, using the Scope format to put two videos back to back, one of himself recording a monologue about his own feelings who at the time were not great, on the left, and the actual tennis round on the right, completed with very rough, minimalistic cuts and a visual final using a track from the Band "L'Effondras". HMFM would respond as oddly as before, calling it "french person is not as sad as everyone else" (sort of summing up LaVie's monologue), with the same blend of odd sources and pacing. | InLivingTuna had by this point dropped out of the tournament and his replacement created the match of '''LaVieCestLol vs. HardcoreMormonFuckingMachine'''.

Quite possibly one of the most different matches ever played in the history of competitive tennis took place in the matchup of '''Gamebop vs. theFXexpert''', beginning with a serve that was a dramatic departure from all expectations and predictions of the match's unfolding in addition to Gamebop's usual style. Titled "Monacle of the Swan" featuring text of the title and "Starring The Swan", Gamebop has mentioned to have had this video already made at an earlier time to save for a particular future match, and it was at this point that it came to be used and seen for the first time.

Titled "Monacle of the Swan" featuring text of the title and "Starring The Swan", Gamebop has mentioned to have had this video already made at an earlier time to save for a particular future match, and it was at this point that it came to be used and seen for the first time.

In a funny twist, '''theadventuretimefan vs. Treckasec''' would be kicked off with the former using a source he asked Treckasec to do a casual tennis with, Battle for Dream Island (one of the many "Object Shows" some poopers and tennissers are fans of), which he filled with the classic YTP CDI memes in a Tongue-In-Cheek way, forcing Treckasec to work with it. He would respond by heavily distorting and destroying everything. That source rivalry would give the match an interesting spin, as TAF would give into the destructiveness as well, leading to one of the most abstractly structured matches of the Gameweek. | In a funny twist, '''theadventuretimefan vs. Treckasec''' would be kicked off with the former using a source he asked Treckasec to do a casual tennis with, Battle for Dream Island (one of the many "Object Shows" some poopers and tennissers are fans of), which he filled with the classic YTP CDI memes in a Tongue-In-Cheek way, forcing Treckasec to work with it.

'''dew vs. CorruptionSound''' began experimentally once again with dew's simplist in construction yet complicated in execution serves. It used only one image for video (of a flareon) and one song for audio, "A New Machine - Part 1" by Pink Floyd, with black-restore color curved light rays elaborately keyframed and animated to move with the lyrics of the song, to give off the impression that it was talking. The remaining three rounds all featured extensive usage of added sources on top of this, with CorruptionSound now coming to appear as the stronger player of the match as much of these advances within it were of his credit. dew's Round 3 has an accident in the audio in which half the audio is hard panned left while a keyboard track she overdubbed onto the song was panned hard left when they were supposed to cohesively blend as one, which dew attributes to having been using a pair of monophonic headphones at the time, which served to make a lot of sound appear quite unusual. | '''dew vs. CorruptionSound''' began experimentally once again with dew's simplist in construction yet complicated in execution serves.

Mycro's round 3, "done in a few hours just before the deadline" as he noted, had a repetitive structure using a voice over telling the viewer to ''take a look with all of your eyes'', using more effects in a very distinctive way.

Round 2 of '''laromande vs. Hornet''' would be the occasion for Hornet to make the very personalized serve his own, putting insects into the mix, particularly a very disturbing fox decomposition video, which would be rather low-key given his notoriously heavy-effect videos, though continuing the "Ideas as a prophet" arc in a stream-of-consciousness fashion. laromande's round 3 would be structured on an original electronic track on which laro scattered audio clips from the previous round, as well as multiplying iterations of ideas himself, in motivational posters, on a newspaper headline after finishing a war (a newspaper she puts on the screen paying hommage to [[LaVie CestLol]]'s spinning trick), and beginning her flag manipulation which would be proeminent afterwards. Hornet's final round would be a very distorted, more effect-heavy and quite impressive sight, in glitched areas which would be very well recieved, as they are more reminiscent of his earlier works. | Originally planned as '''laromande vs. iamoutofideas1''', the tournament debut of Swiss tennisser [[laromande]] would be also a weird homage to the latter, making it sort of a divinity in a glitched environment, who could grant wishes.

Sploltoen's last round for the match would reuse extensively the gag of putting a Lenny Face on an either cheering or ashamed footballer, keeping the humor of the match going for a hilarious finish with someone mocking Chelsea's opponent team in a Penalty shootout, making them "calling the WHAAAAmbulance" as Patrick Stewart (now with Thierry Henry's sad face on him) would react to accordingly. thewoof would be greatly satisfied by the match, saying it was "everything [he] hoped it would be." | '''Sploltoen vs. thewoof''' would be a clash of styles that would turn some heads, as thewoof's first impression was enjoyed by the viewers for it's sense of humor and pacing.

Round 2 would be more classical in structure, adding Dragonball as a source, but efficient in aspect, using also Doom's favourite poopism, earrape. The more simple approach Doom brought led ABITW to broaden a bit and use more to-the-point effects to construct his round, creating repeating patterns and notably assimilating some of them to Macintosh Plus' Vaporwave music, who would also be structured on repeating patterns, making it a neat link between audio and video. Doom's final round would reuse the previous round as more of a background for sources to be added (Sonic X and the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog especially), finishing it in a more soothing fashion, just cut short by a final earrape. |
Sploltoen, laromande and Another Brick won out fully against their opponants keeping Sploltoen in the lead with 9 points and laromande and Another Brick tied for second with 6. thewoof and Doom remained tied for third with 3 points while Hornet was left without a single point.

Natalia's final round, while still revolving on music as a soundtrack (this time, ''The Deadfaced Dimension'' by Angerfist), would be a dynamic reuse of Gamebop's round with the inclusion of Natalia's own drawings of herself manipulating through the video elements of the round. | '''Gamebop vs. NataliaHTTPS''' had an interesting turn of events as Gamebop chose to go with an unusual serve to give to Natalia who was relatively unknown in the International Tourney scene.

Since Sid came back from hiatus, he showed a pretty surprising change of style, using more absurd humor and visual gags rather than the hardcore, masterfully layered visuals he was know for before. So to see him go against TheChutley, who had one of the most significants shifts in style, was especially hyped for as the two of them already had some interaction that crafted many injokes around them. '''Sid vs. TheChutley''' did not disappoint in that serve, as Sid's serve would be a YTP of himself doing a Let's Play of Dark Souls II (In English), using different elements to create humor through absurdity (sudden demultiplication of the player's HUD, freezing of some objects in the game as Sid moves forward, etc ...). TheChutley's volley would respond with equally humorous manners, although in a far more in your face fashion, using MLG montage parody tropes (Snoop Dog Dancing, Dubstep Music), while also spamming cats, adding to the order Sid gave him to "be a cat :3". One of the highlights was a YTPMV of Sid's voice on ''Night of Flowering'', Sakuya's theme from the Touhou franchise, just to "PROVE TO YOU IDIOTS THAT LITTERALY ANYONE CAN DO THIS SHIT". Peskeh commented on that segment, saying that "the ytpmv sUCKED WHERE WhERE THE SCREEN FLIPs". Sid's third round (hidden as a trap video for an announcement of Half-Life 3) seems to do the same thing as the first, but eventually Sid refuses to play Dark Souls again and spams cat gifs with the extatic music of Pryapisme, called ''Petit traité de futurologie sur l'Homo cretinus trampolinis (et son annexe sur les nageoires caudales)'' in a really spastic way. And although Sid would use more technical aspects, the feel of the round would go on and be even more absurd, using the video of a Cat hugging a cat plush in repeating patterns, with more feline tropes attached into these patterns. After finding out that "FRENCH IS A LANGUAAAAAAAAAGE", TheChutley's final round would go for a very psychedelic ride in terms of music choices, but also visually. He'd use Sid's wheel of cats with a gif of a cat running in it, replacing the cat's head with an old picture of Sid himself. The editing is cut short by a slowly revealing cat video set to Jefferson's Airplane ''White Rabbit''. | Since Sid came back from hiatus, he showed a pretty surprising change of style, using more absurd humor and visual gags rather than the hardcore, masterfully layered visuals he was know for before.

The named characters from the serve were changed here to "Siracha Man", "Blueberry...Man", "Banana Boy", "The Gay One", "Who's This Bitch?" and "super man". CorruptionSound's Round 3 followed this up by changing the names of the characters to "RANGER IN GREY"(featuring desaturation of the Power Rangers source),"[WEBDINGS TEXT]", "PUNICA"(a brand of fruit juice),"The Man with a Plan", "[sped up gif of 'some bears(???)' as he described it]" and further editing in a very corrupted databendy style, adding additionally "ARD Programmansage Jakob Poiesz", Mensch Markus(featuring the "Er Und Sie" from his [[Tennis Cup IV]] match with MycroProcessor), The Last Trick (Poslední trik pana Schwarcewalldea a pana Edgara),Round 1 by ravinrabbid123 vs. LaVie CestLol and Stefan Raab - Wadde hadde dudde da (Eurovision Songcontest 2000) into his mix. Razarek ended up dropping out around this time citing a loss of motivation and interest, which was looked upon somewhat unfavorably due to the large amount of other dropouts that were occurring around this time, and gabrielpika stepped in as a replacement player but went over their turnover time in responding, essentially marking the match as failed. | ||

InLivingTuna, who had been banned just a week prior, now returned as a replacement for fiv95 in the tournament uploading a serve that used PBG and the Nostalgia Critic, attempting to shoot for a visually innovative and humorous round but falling below their personal expectations, resulting in a still interesting response but perhaps not what the creator was hoping for. Round 2 was naturally another very high-energy technical video that went miles beyond the predictions of what could be done with the round, adding in several images and songs and featuring incredibly innovative usage of 3D effects, ending with a series of texts saying "We Have a Situation". InLivingTuna's reaction was the rather concerning "I'm Going to kill myself" and virtually nothing more, and their Round 3 was similarly ambitious but similarly falling flat in terms of its intended presentation, adding in a lot of added sources but not continuing the ideas of the previous round in effective ways. Ninero's Round 4 was delivered several days late and was a lot different than the round before it due to Ninero struggling with ideas and turning out something that he didn't consider as good, though in essence the video succeeded as an experimental round tremendously, allowing another side of his style to appear in a very interesting way and still coming off as a strong response. Notable in the video is its greatly toned down pace and pseudo lo-fi approach to some segments, as well as ending the video on the last three notes of Also Sprach Zarathrustra with a zoomed in photo of Nostalgia Critics face, but not before featuring "ABSOLUTELY SHITE" in bright 3D lettering and a "Here is My Mr. Clean Joke" segment. | InLivingTuna, who had been banned just a week prior, now returned as a replacement for fiv95 in the tournament uploading a serve that used PBG and the Nostalgia Critic, attempting to shoot for a visually innovative and humorous round but falling below their personal expectations, resulting in a still interesting response but perhaps not what the creator was hoping for.

When ravinrabbid123 and LaVie CestLol saw they were going to face each other, there was a hidden rule to use the titles "LAVIE :)", "RAVIN :)", "CESTLOL :)" and "RABBID123 :)" for their rounds. When the time came, '''ravinrabbid123 vs. LaVie CestLol''' was followed actively, being regarded in retrospect by many as one of the best matches the league offered, and one that proved that YTP Tennis could far well work with more joke-centered techniques. Ravin's serve already gave it an epic-yet-silly tone with various jokes involving footage of LaVie playing the drums, Dragon Ball Z, use of a french film starring famous actor Bourvil, an english game show called Pointless, and footage of Ravin editing the video whilst having her phone ringing. LaVie would construct and continue the jokes, making a YTPMV out of Ravin's ringtone (using Goldenrod City Theme as a BGM), putting up a cameo by Dew (by putting a lily flower on a Flareon Ravin used as a visual gag, Dew's music making an appearance as well) and making Ravin herself a Super Sayan. The ante was up as Ravin would then create a back-and-forth set of jokes and stories involving LaVie fighting a Pokemon character, as well as Ravin unwillingly shooting off Dew's lily flower, leading the flareon to eat Ravin, grow the size of a planet and threaten to destroy the world. LaVie's final round would settle the fate of the story, as Dew would proceed in crushing every joke element that was worked into the match by the two contestants, only to have the day saved by LaVie teaming up with Ravin and shooting her own tennis videos at Dew to calm her down and save the world. Only to have it destroyed "lewdly" by TheChutley (as a Glaceon). The match was widely acclaimed, notably on the thread by Metroid998, Sid, AshcrementVII and TehShadzify, and is one of the best and most fun memories the two contestants have regarding tennis or even Youtube Poop in general. | When ravinrabbid123 and LaVie CestLol saw they were going to face each other, there was a hidden rule to use the titles "LAVIE :)", "RAVIN :)", "CESTLOL :)" and "RABBID123 :)" for their rounds.

The main source choice NataliaHTTPS went with to begin the match of '''NataliaHTTPS vs. theFXexpert''' would be unusual to say the least, as it would be a Polish dub of Ed, Edd + Eddy. The editing would be very minimal, while still taking advantage of a few glitch effects and stutters. FX's round 2 would continue to use the certain elements recognizable and added sources like the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog or Spongebob Squarepants to use as an added comical bonus, the most prevalent of all being the use of Hammers.

After two matches making the statement of his style change, Sid would meet a more effect-heavy contestant in the form of cyclejunkie, whom he already had the chance to face in a 3-way panic tennis match with Gamebop. '''cyclejunkie vs. Sid''' would begin with a very slow-moving animation, blending abstract, software-generated shapes with actual footage, with a very driving distorted soundtrack transforming itslef into a harsh noise track. Sid's response would be a fractal, beautifully done animation using various elements from round 1, making it more colorful and fast-paced. Meanwhile, cyclejunkie's response would be far less quick in its pace, reusing different elements from Sid's round as background and adding a black and white PSA as a source, in a very distorted manner, as well as a video and a picture of a cat. Sid's final round would begin by breaking the fourth wall before chromakeying the round to a Final Fantasy speedrun, also using Skype smileys and MLG tropes, sort of calling back to his previous match with TheChutley, and reusing different elements of the speedrun and the previous round to create glitchy, layered animations. | After two matches making the statement of his style change, Sid would meet a more effect-heavy contestant in the form of cyclejunkie, whom he already had the chance to face in a 3-way panic tennis match with Gamebop.

This continued throughout a period in which she did become homeless for a couple of months, having private conversations with Ninero and LaVieCestLol during this time in order to give her some kind of communication, discussions which greatly helped and supported to keep her grounded forum-wise. She mentioned around this time that she did intend to make a Round 4, originally with the goal of making it the new longest tennis round which was a title she once held for a very brief time. Due to the comparatively weak processing power of her laptop though she made the commitment to hold off on the rounds creation until being reunited with her older more powerful desktop computer again. | Following the uploading of this round and leaving behind the tournament, dew took a 2 and a half month hiatus from the forum as during this time she encountered several hardships, including escaping abuse and narrowly evading homelessness before returning to the forum again in July.

While no longer attempting to make the new longest tennis round, dew did successfully manage to include all of the main components that she had wanted to include in the video overall.

The section following this was an eerie ambient section with sudden loud cuts to a veg replace of dew's Round 4 with fiv95, with the 3D frames replaced with Ninero's Round 3 and the music replaced with a song by dew herself called "Spinfeather". After which dew delivered her official "response" to Ninero's "message" against a blue visual background, while making the comment that this could end up being the last round of the League since theFXexpert at this time was no where to be seen. The response was seen as a confirmation of reformation in dew's character and outlook, now being much more positive and calm and friendly, even encouraging Ninero that he could very well end up winning the League due to the amazing output he had had. To date, this round is the last round of the League, and one of the few tournament matches to actually complete after having been failed in competition. |

The round seemed to completely embody the ambient sections of Round 2 resulting in a response in which the volume of the audio was greatly subdued and a large portion of it was edited in a seemingly lo-fi fashion and certainly a lot less crazier than the serve. The visuals continued to their usual intensity featuring as CorruptionSound had noted a variety of interesting visual experiments using media generator colors as well as in one instance a segment that depicted he and MycroProcessor as giants fighting in an electrical plant, with Mycro using a powerline structure to strike a blow against CorruptionSound supposedly defeating him. The loudest bit of audio came towards the end with a suddenly loud bit of music appearing and suddenly being muted over the characteristic test patterns that often bookended Corruption's videos. | The round seemed to completely embody the ambient sections of Round 2 resulting in a response in which the volume of the audio was greatly subdued and a large portion of it was edited in a seemingly lo-fi fashion and certainly a lot less crazier than the serve.

Two signifigant peices of the video were largely the piano footage and previous round appearing in very brief frame cuts with short blank space put in between each at the beginning and about 2/3rd of the way through the Round, with another section taking a frozen frame of a green on black pattern from Round 3 and chroma-keying different peices of the previous round inside of it, while other sections focused again on a Jolteon close-up from the previous round adding in new background music and "GAMEWEEK 5", using a "5" that had been created in Round 2 managing to survive the rest of the match. A segment of green background visuals featured the onscreen text of "thank for you of this match corrupt song". This Round also meant that every single round of this match was the maximum time limit, making it the longest match of the [[Tennis League IV]]. LaVieCestLol commented positively on the song choice while TheChutley noted the segment focusing on the Jolteon with backing music as his favorite. |
'''NataliaHTTPS vs. InLivingTuna''' would not go past the serve as InLivingTuna said he was unable to do a Tournament Match because of IRL issues, making NataliaHTTPS the default winner. Therefore, Division A would only have one match to vote, with CorruptionSound winning over Mycroprocessor and getting the division's second place in the last stretch with 9 points, with dew staying at 8 and Mycroprocessor staying at 4. The two remaining players, gabrielpika and InLivingTuna, closed the match with respectively 4 and 2 points. Ninero already clinched the division, and his de facto win would secure his perfect score of 15 points. | '''NataliaHTTPS vs. InLivingTuna''' would not go past the serve as InLivingTuna said he was unable to do a Tournament Match because of IRL issues, making NataliaHTTPS the default winner.

| − | + | The serve Doom made for '''Doom vs. thewoof''' would be a very musical use of CD-I sources, with a kick for visual randomness and sonic synchronization, while still making room for Doom's favourite trick, earrape. However, this match would be one of the longest to unfold itself, as round 2 would come two weeks after the serve. thewoof's response, also very musical (whereas more on the hip-hop edge, with an extensive use of Snoop Dogg), would rely on visual gags, with Cosmo (Doom's avatar and favourite character) having ''the woof'' written in her eyes like one of the girls of the Music Video he uses, and having a running gag around a skit of the ''Daria'' cartoon. Doom's final round of the league would feature a YTPMV continuing thewoof's Snoop Dogg centered ideas, but made room to add more CD-I absurd sentence mixing. Finally, thewoof's final round, the last to be released in the Divisions Segment of the Tournament, would be more of an artculation of the previous jokes around a video performance from Warren Zevon's ''Werewolves of London'', in a short yet witty finish to this match. | |
| − | + | When stepping up for a replacement for Division B, laromande admitted what she hoped for was to face Sploltoen, something she really was hoping to happen someday, which is why, when the time came to begin '''laromande vs. Sploltoen''', the swiss brain-rape-ytp-glitch-art "goddess" (cf her website) would give in her A-game, with a heavy-yet-subtly-crafted cyberpunk trip with glitches, colors and 3D objects (especially a 4 dimension cube), also paying homage to her opponent by using his avatar and also football footage and soundclips, making it a very complex, yet eye-catching video that Sploltoen would have to resolve in order to respond to it effectively. And that he did on round 3, adding more football footage (as well as laromande's own avatar) and more complex editing into the mix, with copious amounts of datamoshing that make the round roll more seamlessly from one segment to another, finishing off with a Chelsea Goal, with the Football player spitting Umbreon's out in a cutoff prevention title screen. laromande's round 3 would be nothing short of a splendor of complexity, with VHS segments, English Football Club Logos, psychedelic tunnels, trailing effects, even augmented reality in the form of a sheet of paper (in which the next part of the round was keyed) she put on the ground and filmed saying "By the name of Ideas, what's happening?" (A callback to her match with Hornet/mYzterbattyX, who featured iamoutofideas1 as a prophet figure) like she was lost in her own video, as well as 3D Chelsea Logos floating in her own room. In the conclusion of clearly the most complexly edited match of the whole tournament, Sploltoen would give his all. A nice touch would be his usage of Swiss Football Club logos (especially from Basel and Zürich), as well as more 4-th wall destruction with the VHS segment and himself starting his computer and datamoshing his hand pressing on the button over and over again as a conclusion (and a final cutoff prevention). The match was praised for its take on the heavy-effect genre, especially by Sid and theraz0redge, with laromande posting a picture of Chelsea winning the English cup, with the word ''VICTORY'' below it. | |

There was quite an amount of hype to see who would be the victor of '''Division C''', as the two contestants Peskeh and LaVie CestLol were tied at 11 points before the fifth gameweek. '''LaVie CestLol vs. Peskeh''' would be the finals of the Division C, and another match fondly remembered by the Community, as both brought their A game to the table. LaVie's serve was a retrospect and homage to many rounds from the league (as well as some from the current Gameweek) and people from the community, edited in what felt like an homage to ChrisGendo's videos, and had the particular fact to be posted on May the 18th, which is both Peskeh's and LaVie's birthday. Peskeh would seize the occasion to make what is still considered by LaVie to be one of the (if not the) best responses he ever recieved in a match, creating flawlessly animated game sections, extensive use of French Touch music, a vocal cameo by ThatComputerPerson, and made LaVie's shoutout speech a hip-hop skit using Mr. Oizo's "Textes". LaVie would respond by actually rapping (in English, so not his main language) to a YTPMV of Death Grips' "5D", making even more shoutouts, then continuing Peskeh's madness, creating a "FIND THE JOLTOEN" game that consists in finding Jolteons in various tennis matches (Ninero's round 4 vs. Razerek, TheChutley's round 6 vs. SuperKoffee and MycroProcessor and "YOU'RE ARE JOLTOEN YOU ARE SHARP!", finishing off with a recap of all his rounds, accompanied by the final version of his "Tennis League Theme", a guitar riff he used in every match of the League he partake in. Peskeh's final round would be the occasion to show his YTPMV skills as well as visual cleverness, shooting the match into oblivion with very ambient-esque segments.

Gamebop's response would be a very peculiar one, one of his notorious "rhythmic" rounds, like he did on various occasions such as on the Multi-Way Tennis Tournament on Set 2, finishing off with an animated circular puzzle for a "YTP Miniature Game". PCB's round 3 would begin in a hilarious way, paying homage to the notorious video [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1V0Jp2MdwYk YTP Tennis Round 3.wmv], singing badly into his microphone over a WMM intro of the round. However, PCB would forget the lyrics, "ruining" the "epic intro" and that he'd "lose", before snapping and making MS Paint abstract shapes and writing wildly ''I'M DA YTPPPOP TENUZ PROOOOO!!!''. The round would proceed into various multi-rendering and YTPMV segments reusing the rhythmic patterns of Gamebop's previous round in a faster-paced way.

The serve of '''Soucisse Verte vs. metroid998''' would be worked on since the beginning of the Tournament by Soucisse and would be a nice surprise as it would lead the match to be Metroid themed, in honor to Soucisse's opponent. The serve went with a very slow and ambient pace, only bursting in explosions in precise moments, and abstracting the sources to create a whole texture of Metroid related material. Metroid (the tennisser) would embrace the theme and give it his own spin on it, with a good amount of layering of different games from the Franchise, as well as recreating an Animation Soucisse made on his previous round, using the previous round's segment where this animation was made as a source, leading to a nice inception. Soucisse's round 3 would up the ante, with more energetic and loud elements, using Metroid Prime Hunters on DS as an added source, finishing off with a slow revealing musical animation, reusing the previous one. Finally, Metroid would end the Metroid mania with more Metroid Prime related material, making things even more intense, finishing with a musical interlude of his own, set to the Metroid Prime 3 Sountrack. The match was fondly remembered by both players, Soucisse calling the match "very fun", and Metroid thanking Soucisse for breaking his six and a half year streak of not using as a source the game that makes his pseudonym. | The serve of '''Soucisse Verte vs. metroid998''' would be worked on since the beginning of the Tournament by Soucisse and would be a nice surprise as it would lead the match to be Metroid themed, in honor to Soucisse's opponent.

Soucisse's round 3 would up the ante, with more energetic and loud elements, using Metroid Prime Hunters on DS as an added source, finishing off with a slow revealing musical animation, reusing the previous one. Finally, Metroid would end the Metroid mania with more Metroid Prime related material, making things even more intense, finishing with a musical interlude of his own, set to the Metroid Prime 3 Sountrack. The match was fondly remembered by both players, Soucisse calling the match "very fun", and Metroid thanking Soucisse for breaking his six and a half year streak of not using as a source the game that makes his pseudonym. | ||
Division E would be straightforwardly won by Soucisse Verte, despite conceding the last match to Metroid998 with a pseudo-tie, like Fujoshi lost in a pseudo-tie against TehShadzify. Meanwhile, theadventuretimefan would easily win against ThirtyTwelve. The final ranking is : Soucisse Verte - 12 points, Fujoshi - 10 points, TehShadzify - 9 points, Metroid998 - 7 points, theadventuretimefan - 7 points, ThirtyTwelve - 0 points. | Division E would be straightforwardly won by Soucisse Verte, despite conceding the last match to Metroid998 with a pseudo-tie, like Fujoshi lost in a pseudo-tie against TehShadzify.

Being almost polar opposites in terms of pace, '''cyclejunkie vs. valkiriforce''' promised to be an interesting experience. Cyclejunkie's serve would be one of his most ambient yet, considered by LaVie CestLol to be one of his best works and the best round he offered to the League, using Luis Bunuel's ''Un Chien Andalou'' and noise performances by Japanese Artist MASONNA, with slow moving After Effects animations, to which valkiriforce would surprisingly respond with his own take on a slow-paced style, to finally break out in his own brand of madness on the second part, with a huge amount of new sources put into the mix, finishing off with a disclaimer thanking the viewers, the organizers of the league, and precizing every copyrighted element is owned by their owners. Cyclejunkie's round 3 would be in 60fps and would be using valkiriforce's fast-paced scenes in more slow moving ways, sparsely, accompanied with slightly distorted electronic music. valk's round 4, "a test of sanity" in his own words, would not so much reuse the previous round as much as just blatantly making everything explode in a hysterical way, one of the most peculiar moments being him reputting random bits of his own previous rounds into the mix in a completely spastic ways, like if he was himself lost in a world of distorted destructive tennis styles. | Being almost polar opposites in terms of pace, '''cyclejunkie vs. valkiriforce''' promised to be an interesting experience.

While TheChutley's style would still be as silly as ever in '''TheChutley vs. INTERGALACTICDEATHRAPE''', his serve would also be a memorial to his cat Checkers, who passed away just recently before the serve was due. His serve would use Conrad Slater IRL videos extensively, but the silly humor would also have a sort of sentimentality jacobketronCT pointed out, bringing "a unique touch to the tone of the match". In respect for TheChutley's pet, IDR would not use the last part of the round, but the rest of it wouldn't meet the mercy of the radically hardcore tennis player that he is, making the silliness coming from TheChutley's round feel like downright insanity, making the last words of chutley's previous round (''SORRY ABOUT MY SAD'') become ''NOT SORRY ABOUT MY SADISM'', as well as having a spastic attack seeing numerous Dave Grohls on Google Images. TheChutley's last round would be the closest he would ever get from his older days given the colorful visuals he made, but still stays very true to himself, also using extensively the Monty Python's Segment ''Terry Giliam's Dancing Teeth'', with almost no editing. Amongst other sources are excerpts from his past rounds, a burning of Conrad Slater's face (done by InLivingTuna) and Conrad Slater shellshocked at an intense destructive tennis segment. IDR's final round ("made in 6 hours") would use more Monty Python (the sketch ''How not to be seen'' in its explosive glory) as well as putting an end to the Dave Grohl arc. By killing him. As well as a tremendous amount of glitches and earrape to kill things off. TheChutley would be responding to that last round saying : "I don't believe it. You KILLED Dave Grohl! YOU KILLED DAVE GROHL!!!!!!!!!!! Good. good match :3" | While TheChutley's style would still be as silly as ever in '''TheChutley vs. INTERGALACTICDEATHRAPE''', his serve would also be a memorial to his cat Checkers, who passed away just recently before the serve was due.

'''Sid vs. JacobKetronCT''' would have an amusing twist to it, thanks to both players fondingly responding to each other's "letters" written through text and video form, in one of the most direct displays of communication in the whole tournament. Sid's serve would use Grand Illusions as a main source (A choice particularly appreciated by CorruptionSound), in his new, more laid-back and sparsely edited style, inciting jacob to, for example, replace the face he added on top of the Grand Illusions Host with a Scott Pilgrim Character (knowing that jacob often uses Scott Pilgrim in his tennis rounds), as well as using absurd french inside jokes and finally writing a letter apologizing for the short length of the round and blending in stories of Vietnam War and asking Jacob to "take care of Jimmy", while Sid's leaving for the war. Jacob's response would be more than understanding, being the way for Jacob to no longer hold up what he has got for the league as he felt he did for the previous gameweeks, which would lead to more adventurous editing, as well as adding sources of his own, in particular the Scott Pilgrim character Sid asked for. Round 3 would begin with IRL footage of Sid rewatching Round 2 of djninjalovemistake vs. jacobketronCT vs. MycroProcessor vs. Sid, from the Multi-Way Tournament, in which Jacob was confirming the fact djninja told that Sid and him were related by blood. Sid then asks directly to Jacob if he found more details to this unlikely brotherhood, while chromakeying vastly edited (sort of like in his old ways) pieces of round, as well as putting his own face on Jacob's head. He then proceeds to put on a CD of the French Artist KG, and jumps wildly on his bed only to be interrupted by more heavy editing, that Jacob compared to fireworks. Instead of more fireworks, Jacob thought more appropriate to respond to Sid's questions himself, in front of the camera, revealing they're soul brothers from Asgard, reincarnated over and over, and asking Sid to join him in his fight against "the corporate oligarchy". His final segments would contain Mickey Mouse waving his arms in front of the previous round, as well as various chromakeying, finally thanking Sid for "being badass". | '''Sid vs. JacobKetronCT''' would have an amusing twist to it, thanks to both players fondingly responding to each other's "letters" written through text and video form, in one of the most direct displays of communication in the whole tournament.

Division F also ended in a tie, as TheChutley would lose against INTERGALACTICDEATHRAPE and valkiriforce would only win with a pseudo-tie against cyclejunkie. Therefore, with 11 points each, it's the winner of the match they had with each other that is the finalist, which means TheChutley wins his division. INTERGALACTICDEATHRAPE would closely follow with 10 points. JacobketronCT would tie-in with Sid after winning their match with a pseudo-tie, while cyclejunkie would close the ranks with 3 points. | Division F also ended in a tie, as TheChutley would lose against INTERGALACTICDEATHRAPE and valkiriforce would only win with a pseudo-tie against cyclejunkie.

In Soucisse's Round 8 much of the same approach as his Round 2 was taken, although at this point the record shop sequence began to take more of a central role as it appeared in more parts of the video now besides the end, though Soucisse provided only a very small clip of his voice. Laromande's health became low around this time and was given a lengthy extension to the 4th of September to finish her round which was uploaded on the precise day, and here the record shop sequence now took definitive control of the match. Introduced as The Peskeh show it was used and played out much like a sitcom, with players of the match characterized as their icons who make visits to the shop for various reasons; clever edits and scenarios playing out through the video. What else was edited of the previous round was done in sparse but visually intense bits once again, including an elaborate 3D maze segment at the very end. LaVie commented on this with just "DAMN". | In Soucisse's Round 8 much of the same approach as his Round 2 was taken, although at this point the record shop sequence began to take more of a central role as it appeared in more parts of the video now besides the end, though Soucisse provided only a very small clip of his voice.

Ninero's Round 10 took things in "a sombre direction" and titled the video simply "the record shop". Indeed the video was almost all entirely slow and quiet, yet the edited featured within was so phenominally executed it could almost be considered professional, with some aspects of the editing done to resemble being present within a real 3D space, that including the record shop from the previous several rounds. The concept of the video was played out like the penguin character (intended to represent Peskeh) had long since passed and the record store he had once worked in was now ghostly and abandoned, with only faint memories of those who visited there (cleverly using bits of previous rounds) would disappear in flashes of colors in a ''2001: A Space Odyssey'' sort of fashion, leaving him in a white hallway with black doors towards the end of the round. Laro commented that "peskeh's gonna poop himself" While Soucisse commented saying that this was the best match of the league. | Ninero's Round 10 took things in "a sombre direction" and titled the video simply "the record shop".

Peskeh's next round (Round YEA!!!) largely featured footage taken in his own room with audio from TheChutley's old 2010 Q+A and previous round footage playing in the background while the previous round is playing on several different screens and some screenshots are pasted on the walls in addition. At the beginning the camera pans down to Peskeh's hands,cutting briefly to the beginning of the previous round in which the camera under the first person guise of the penguin looks down at his flippers and then back again. After a time Peskeh is shown to pick up a VHS tape with Tennis League IV banner taped on the front and is about to insert it when suddenly what appears to be LaVie calls him on his cell phone, which he promplt turns it over and extends his middle finger towards it (good-naturedly of course; "ey man the bird is a sign of respect down under") and then proceeds to insert the tape. The rest of the round is proceeded to be volleyed largely under the filter of VHS tape wear in similar visual fashion to what came before it, ending with Peskeh throwing it on the bed and covering it with a pillow, with a brief tail end segment showing a close up of a captain barbossa picture and a repeated clip from FX's first round of the Awful Alvin segment. Several people responded to this round with variations of "YEA". | Peskeh's next round (Round YEA!!!) largely featured footage taken in his own room with audio from TheChutley's old 2010 Q+A and previous round footage playing in the background while the previous round is playing on several different screens and some screenshots are pasted on the walls in addition.

On November 13th, the winner was revealed to be Peskeh, making it the second time that a newcomer emerged as the victor of a site-sanctioned competition. dew commemorated this by saying "An Apple is You" and TheChutley, who ran the host account announcing the winner, jokingly "strike-banned" the host account due to not winning (this was the farthest he had played after roughly 7 years of competitive tennis, beating the semifinal position he reached back in [[The Grey Tournament]]). Metroid998 commented on the idea that "a penguin could win a tennis tournament" as "Blasphemy I say, BLASPHEMY!" and much celebrations were to be had. Around this time it was also announced that the next new competition was already being planned and organized, and as of this writing it is still unknown as to what it might be. | On November 13th, the winner was revealed to be Peskeh, making it the second time that a newcomer emerged as the victor of a site-sanctioned competition. dew commemorated this by saying "An Apple is You" and TheChutley, who ran the host account announcing the winner, jokingly "strike-banned" the host account due to not winning (this was the farthest he had played after roughly 7 years of competitive tennis, beating the semifinal position he reached back in [[The Grey Tournament]]).
