[[MWTT Teal Set 2|The second set of the teal division of the Multi-Way Tennis Tournament]], also known as <b>{{JowlHog4}} vs. {{MycroProcessor}} vs. {{GameBop}} vs. {{dew}} vs. {{Bloodis}}/{{saper}}</b> was a [[tennis match]] played during the [[Multi-Way Tennis Tournament]] from December 13th 2013 to March 5th 2014. It is often considered one of the greatest multi-way matches of all time, often accounted to its wide exploration of conversational styles, as well as an unusually high concentration of [[Tennis Staff]] meeting in one match. Many of the concepts seen here were very innovative for the time, with many unique methods of [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]; ~~from a relatively standard serve came many~~ cuts to (and in-between) computer windows, Webcam recordings of ~~the~~ previous ~~round~~ replayed on distorted VHS tapes, and ''lots'' of progressive rock.

As with all other MWTT matches, one player was eliminated per match, per set. For this ~~case~~, {{saper}} (replacing {{Bloodis}}) ~~was~~ the ~~unlucky one~~.

As with all other MWTT matches, one player was eliminated per match, per set. For this match, everyone passed except for {{saper}} (replacing {{Bloodis}}). [[YellowTealPurple]] introduced a "Tennis Excellence" award in November 2025, featuring a ball bouncing between two tennis rackets, the animated square graphic of each contact between the ball and a racket being a reference to GameBop's Round 13 of this match.<ref>https://yellowtealpurple.net/forums/threads/forum-changelog.403/post-36506</ref>

Beginning the recurring trend of fourth-wall breaks in this match, this round begins with Mycro scrolling through the original [[YouChew]] forum post for the match itself. They then watch the video, skipping around it. Suddenly it cuts out, creating a massive collage of other monitors and screens that pan around each other, settling back on the previous round every once and a while, also supplying something new.

This round primarily samples the Beat Block Skyway theme from ''Super Mario 3D world'', and the episode "Desert Dream" from ''Alfred J. Kwak''. The round is split into 20 even parts, split between the "beeps" of the song.

A parody of this round by {{nm41}} exists that pairs the round to "Camel by Camel" (1985) by Sandy Marton.

The final round of the match, this is {{saper}}'s only contribution to the match~~. Everything comes crashing down into a whirl of chaos as the match finally meets its end. What a ride~~.
