-With trepmaws and Gamebop defeated by a very thin margin of votes, the final match became '''dewmann + Robochao vs. ChrisGendo + AshcrementVII'''. Robochao was recruited as a last minute substitute and immediately proved to dewmann to be much easier to work with, with lengthy discussion about the crafting of their collab round taking place at various times. dew's serve was praised by CaptainStringCheese as "fantasic" and "one of the best he had seen" with Bloodis also similarly praising it, and therazoredge saying "that serve was incredible. The use of Min/Max and Pixelate(?) in the beginning was very nice, and the rest of the serve was no exception." Robochao's Round 3 was similarly applauded due to it's rather unique style of editing, making a lot of usage of odd third party programs for visual work and being extensively musical.

Nevertheless from this round trepmaws was introduced to dew's work and considered it "awesome", heightened by its use of Pantera throughout much of the video's length (amping the length of 30 seconds from the previous round all the way up to 3 minutes, or the maximum). therazoredge, both opponant and friend, also commented positively on the video, excited to volley it, as did CaptainStringCheese who also noted the music choice. While Round 5 is listed as a collaborative work between dewmann and pokruk(and the last they would make together), dewmann actually kept a secret until years later that pokruk only ever actually made 1 second. He describes that in a frantic attempt to make the video seem like two different styles he utilized after effects in numerious places to mirror that of pokruks style in addition to using green screen footage that at the time he was providing on his main channel following the release of his artistic epic, "Something Occurred". Surprisingly it was convincing enough that people bought it, and he managed to advance to the final match, by which point pokruk had then become unreachable. Captain called Round 5 the best round of the tournament from their personal perspective while gimpnipples commented "i think my eyes just jizzed".

 Unlike the 2010-esque reaction to what would have been the first incarnation of the Triples Tournament, getting participants outside of the resident people were noticably harder to obtain. [[ChrisGendo]] and [[Ashcrement]] were naturally the first team to sign up, followed by [[Captain]] and [[BMATF]] who agreed to play together in a prior agreement. [[BSP666c]] and [[CorruptionSound]] mirrored this in that they would have originally played together as a triples team, and the rather unique combination of [[trepmaws]] and [[Gamebop]] also formed, along with [[MAZZ0Murder]] and [[TheNeopreneJunebug]], the latter whom this would be the only tournament they would play in. therazoredge would join for his first time and pair up with finnish tenniser sanemurzu, who was also relatively new to the scene.
