 The eighth official team consisted of members active on other parts of the forum, each having tennised very little; [[IntermissionForBunny]], a moderator, and [[RideTheCatfish]] and cantflyman, two older members. Immediately upon seeing freshly banned members of the forum enter the tournament, [[IntermissionForBunny]] voiced his desire for their removal. With the recency of [https://youchew.net/wiki/page/Eric_Osborne the Oz incident], moderators feared both members for their association with [https://youchew.net/wiki/page/Eric_Osborne Eric "Oz" Osborne] and having hijacked [[superkoffee]]'s account in the past.
-[[Chrisgendo]] retorted: this was ''his'' tournament and ''his'' section of YouChew, so the removal of members from Triples fell under ''his'' discretion. "Play some damn tennis and have some damn fun," he said, "and I'm not gonna take that away from anyone who wants to have some fun. They haven't done anything wrong yet as far as the tourney is concerned, so I see no reason to kick them out," mentioning that banned members have played before and so their ban would preclude the likelihood of the forum coming under attack. This decision drove [[RideTheCatfish]] to leave, which led [[chrisgendo]] to remark: "Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out, then." Needless to say, tensions escalated.

-[[Chrisgendo]] maintained that the tennis itself had nothing to do with the forum, which was—presumably—the majority opinion throughout the website. [[IntermissionForBunny]], however, contended that this was a site-supported activity, a position met with allegations that he was needlessly stalling the tournament. LordBababa suggested ''another'' site host the tournament. Eventually, the thread was closed altogether following [[magmalord]] posting a video of King Harkinian saying "ENOUGH" for 10 minutes.

In the intervening months, the tennis section would return to business as usual, albeit with noticeably fewer people. The parties in dispute settled. [[DaftPunkYoshi]], then still a Café Staff member, was offered the role of moderator to engender positive relations between the two staffs, effectively ending the feud.

 Round 7 by '''Cornflakes Murdering Ash Cream''' was a strong collaborative effort. [[ImmaCornflakes]]'s part contributed background visuals. [[MAZZ0Murder]] added more ninja footage and editing of [[rakninja]]'s Megatron segment. AshcrementVII's contributed further dialogue segments including ''Haruhi Suzumiya'', ''Black Lagoon'', thin silhouette of Megatron, and a brief musical segment hinting towards [[chrisgendo]]'s response. Round 8 was more classically organized; [[rakninja]] largely replied to the conversational segments while also providing oblique visual and audio bit. Trepmaws worked similarly, using animated ''Touhou'' characters to construct the entirety of his scenes. He used the previous round as backdrops: In once instance, the players of the match were given their own character. Ashcrement's had mouse ears and tail, [[MAZZ0Murder]] the signature red hair and eyepatch of his avatar, [[rakninja]] in a silver robot suit, [[chrisgendo]] as loose recreation of Hitagi Senjōgahara, and trepmaws as his own character, sporting a very devilish grin and expression. [[Chrisgendo]] handled the majority of the heavy editing and the video's ending.
-'''Super God Masterforce''' prevailed, the score being 8.1 to 1. [[MAZZOMurder]] later admitted that the one vote was his own. This was the first match [[rakninja]] had won since 2009.

 Both teams employed role play with '''Triple Baka''' as Vocaloid guises and '''the Aphotic Trio''' playing as clown-faced children from the 1976 film "The Self Image Film (If Mirrors Could Speak)." Djninjalovemistake served with a hybrid of atmospheric and musical styles, making prominent use of a drum loop sample that acted as his own signature. The video then saw man welcoming the viewer "to the Wonderful World of Tennis" in the guise of an instructional video [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tennis    on the actual sport], which became a motif throughout the match.
-[[Bloodis]]'s Round 2 was, by contrast, more minimal, employing a gimmick of running djninjalovemistake's song from the previous round through WubMachine, remixing it into a dubstep version of the original.

[[Childhood sweetheart]]'s Round 3 was strong; the video featured samples from Radiohead and Boards of Canada, with an audio selection from a video titled "Drugs Are Like That." The re-implementation of "The Self Image Film" and '''the Triple Baka''' visual reappeared. This was considered to be the theretofore best round of the match. [[MaRillion]]'s Round 4 would cycle back to the beginning of the match's concept — a contrast to the previous round nevertheless lauded by AshcrementVII and [[rakninja]]. Much of the round was taken up by an anime sequence involving tank warfare, in which the previous round was cut into it to simulate a beam of energy being blasted out from one tank into another. The remainder of the video edited the previous round very minimally; [[MaRillion]] expressed his disinterest in volleying "flashy tennis rounds," citing the difficulty in a proper response. [[CreepahWeegie]] responded with Round 5, which was much longer, more bizarre, and seemed to balance the simplicity and complexity of the previous rounds. The video extended many parts and added in various new audio sources. At the end, he pasted the '''Triple Baka''' faces (of Miku, Teto and Neru) onto three of the characters from an inside view of the tank in the anime source, creating a new motif.

-[[Dew]]'s Round 6 scaled back noticeably from the approach they had used for the bulk of the previous tournament, the purpose of this round being for thorough experimentation. The songs featured included "Dog's a Best Friend's Dog" by Tears for Fears and "Going for the One" by Yes. Then appeared a documentary of Steely Dan's album "Aja", a marker of her music tastes at the time. She would employ a technique dubbed "window-phasing" by using the three Vocaloid heads as the windows to the various sections of the round; Eletricalmonkss described this effect like "[looking] into each of their minds".

Section 1 peered into the "mind" of Akita Neru, featuring footage from the PlayStation 3 game ''Journey'', a snippet from ''Mulan'' with the previous round cut into the background. Section 2, the mind of Kasane Teto, chroma-keyed another source onto a clip that had a previous source from ''the Thief and the Cobbler'' chroma-keyed onto it. Then, [[dew]] cut to working with the tank anime footage; some considered this the round's strongest moment. Section 3, the mind of Hatsune Miku, was almost entirely musical; it made YTPMVs using the aforementioned songs and featured a scene with the previous round chroma-keyed into more footage from ''Journey''. The round ended by zooming into the [[Manwith10toes]] frame ("I DID IT!"), cuing the start of the seventh round.
-Round 8 from '''Triple Baka''' was exemplary of the sum being ''lesser'' than its parts. All three players went in their own distinct directions.
+Round 7 by '''the Aphotic Trio''' fused slow and heavy editing and flirted with ambient and harsh noises. Djninjalovemistake's parts stood out, working primarily in his use of free-frame plugins and his continuation of the "Wonderful World of Tennis" source and its musical alterations. Parts by [[Childhood sweetheart]] and [[CreepahWeegie]] were similarly strong, implementing an audio source that said "we're listening, huh? Alright, well, listen to this... this is FUCKING CANCELED."
-[[Bloodis]] contributed the least, his parts appearing mostly only at the beginning and end; they mostly worked in surface texture editing. He subjected moments of the previous round to heavy displacement-compositing. [[Dew]] contributed the video's opening gag. She audio-filtered djninjalovemistake's parts and contributed a small YTPMV segment set to "I.G.Y" by Donald Fagen (using the "LISTEN TO THIS" from the previous round as its opening). Then, she added in Mickey's Trailer over the parts of the previous round that featured music without visuals. Also featured in this video was gameplay footage from ''OFF'' and an animated frame from Homestuck. [[MaRillion]]'s parts were minimal; they added largely unedited anime footage (of a tennis match, no less) with distorted audio as satirizing the audiovisual excesses of tennis and players' liberal use of effects. The end of the round read "do you still remember which round is whose?" and showed brief snippets from the first 6 rounds, mocking the match's descent into unrecognition.

 '''The Aphotic Trio''' would win the match by a single vote, 5 to 4. This would ironically be the first and only off-season match that [[MaRillion]] would ever complete in. It was also [[dew]]'s 50th match.

 ===='''Cornflakes Murdering Ash Cream vs. Super God Masterforce'''====
-(with MAZZ0Murder, ChrisGendo, Cornflakes, trepmaws, AshcrementVII and RAKninja volleying in this order) began with a serve using entirely Godfrey Ho's ninja's along with Power Rangers Footage, which immediately set the tone for the match, especially among the list of players, that was to unfold. Chrisgendo in his Round 2 unveiled a noticeably stripped down version of the style he had become known for, breaking away from the density of his earlier videos in favor of something more simplistic, only selectively using more than one layer to proceed with his edits throughout the volley. His musical abilities, which had also undergone considerable development over the course of his last few competitions, really shone at this time too, making for a video that worked off very well from MAZZ0's style and continuing to prove his strength even under new tactics. Cornflakes' Round 3 would edit the previous round sufficiently at the beginning of the video but then some time in the previous round would become mostly lost under a destructive visual, which made much use of chroma-keying and light rays with a Newblue earthquake effect with classical music set in the background.
+The fourth match saw [[MAZZ0Murder]], [[chrisgendo]], [[ImmaCornflakes]], trepmaws, AshcrementVII and [[rakninja]] volleying in that order.

+Round 6 by [[rakninja]] drastically departed from the preceding rounds. It was quiet, slow, and hypnotizing, focusing on a darkened mirrored background of bits of the previous round with small clips of other parts appearing in minimally edited forms repeatedly on top. Then came an interlude featuring ''Transformers: Generation 1'' footage of talking Decepticons with overdubbed dialogue from ''Ninja: Silent Assassin'' once more. The video ended with a golden Megatron emblem, written on it was "You're Welcome." Barely visibly appearing throughout the entirety of the video was a thin silhouette of the Professor Ratigan image from Round 5.
