The '''Tennis League {{5}}''', also known as '''TL5''' was a [[tennis tournament]] held from 2019 to 2020 on [[YTPMania]]. It was the seventeenth tournament overall and the first of four to be hosted on that site.
The '''Tennis League {{5}}''', also known as '''TL5''' was a [[tennis tournament]] held from 2019 to 2020 on [[YTPMania]]. It was the seventeenth tournament overall and the first of four to be hosted on that site.


It was hosted by the newly appointed {{mrdoognoog}} and {{VidTens443}}, not-yet-appointed {{nm41}} and {{dew}}, and Morshe, marking the official beginning of the post-[[YouChew]] era of tennis tournaments. It returned to many of the fundamental tenants of the [[Tennis League 4]], now with the added gimmick of divisions rotating through different match types like the [[Tennis Season]], including Wildcard, Single Source, [[Multiplied Time]], [[Noplug]], and Standard/"Vanilla". For the first time since the [[Doubles Cup 1]], votes were collected entirely by public poll, but with no judge votes used at all. It was eventually won by {{Razerek}}<ref>https://ytpmania.net/t/tl5-final-cheechee-vs-nmfourtyone-vidtens443-vs-mafar-vs-lopunnyboy-zevio-vs-razerek-done-vote/7224/31</ref>, making him the second ever person to win a tennis tournament twice, and the first to win two tournaments in a row.

The tournament captured the tennis community in a complete system reset, with nearly all the old community having since scattered or retired from tennis. It was the first tennis competition to feature {{CRJ1}}, {{Milk Gaming Channel}}, {{system128}}, {{Nubman41}}, {{mrdoognoog}}, {{Wodienfor}}, {{Instert Name Here}}, {{Gabiwoda}}, {{DatComputerGuy}}, {{BortLoco}}, {{AngryLuigi23}} and ZeroLittleWords, the final tennis competition to feature {{mafar}}, {{Sploltoen}}, {{BoomDaCorgi1337}}, MAZZ0Murder, {{CamHead}}, and {{ClassicBirch}}, and the only tournament to feature {{AwesomeGuy117}}, Extrenor, {{PoopTV}}, TyrannosAsh420, poprox101, afterbirth!, SuperPoopBros, {{sull0}}, KaiPixelLeap7800 and Ian O'Keefe.    
The tournament captured the tennis community in a complete system reset, with nearly all the old community having since scattered or retired from tennis. Initially, when tennis operations had fully relocated to YTPMania following [[YouChew]]'s closure, a new tournament was teased by the [[tennis staff]] of the time but nothing ever came to fruition, and after a year's time many members would post statements of retirement instead, including {{Biodegradable}}, {{CorruptionSound}}, {{MycroProcessor}} and {{Metroid998}}. The Tennis League 5 was thusly the first conjured by a completely new generation of players, with {{VidTens443}} stating in the introductory post for the event that "many years had passed" since a tournament took place (in fact, only two years had passed since the beginning of the [[Doubles Cup 3]].)


=History=
Sentiment of the tournament was generally negative. While initial hype was very high as it had been some time since the previous tournament (the [[Doubles Cup 3]] had ended just over a year before and the League format had not been attempted since 2014), criticism began to emerge as the tournament continued to go on, something that had plagued the previous two league tournaments as well. Replacements became abundant to the point where later sets had to be modified to account for the reduced amount of players. Staff at the time had agreed to never try the tournament again, however in recent years thoughts about returning the format with significant changes has been proposed. The [[Bronze Tennis League]] came directly at the result of host {{ivan}}'s discontent with the tournament, played in a smaller scale to successful completion.
Tennis was in a very troubled time after the shutdown of [[YouChew]]. Many of the staff were completely gone, and it was up to the younger crowd to pick up the pieces. With no staff, who would run tournaments?


Due to the general immaturity of many of the staff in hosting tournaments, TL5 was a growing pain in rebuilding that side of the community. It was largely agreed upon that the League format no longer worked for the modern meta and likely would never happen again, unless the scale was brought down significantly or other major changes were made to ease the load.
It was the first tennis competition to feature {{CRJ1}}, {{Milk Gaming Channel}}, {{system128}}, {{Nubman41}}, {{mrdoognoog}}, {{Wodienfor}}, {{Instert Name Here}}, {{Gabiwoda}}, {{DatComputerGuy}}, {{BortLoco}}, {{AngryLuigi23}} and ZeroLittleWords, the final tennis competition to feature {{mafar}}, {{Sploltoen}}, {{BoomDaCorgi1337}}, MAZZ0Murder, {{CamHead}}, and {{ClassicBirch}}, and the only tournament to feature {{AwesomeGuy117}}, Extrenor, {{PoopTV}}, TyrannosAsh420, poprox101, afterbirth!, SuperPoopBros, {{sull0}}, KaiPixelLeap7800 and Ian O'Keefe.
