Tennis Cup 5: Difference between revisions

==Set 1==

This was the first match to complete, taking just 2 days, 13 hrs and 47 minutes to go through all 6 rounds- before many matches even started. Whilst this isnt the fastest match to be played in a tournament, it is still notable for being near the top of that list.

Despite the players having very good chemistry, the match was criticized for its low effort.

This match starred mrdoognoog's cat, who unfortunately passed away shortly after the match was finished. As a result, doog's round 5 (that she starred in) was privated for quite a while, but was since restored.

This match is notable for having a different player for each odd round.

{{FalseFlesh}}'s serve uses "Five per cent per nothing" by Yes, which is pretty cool, and also a 5 joke lol

This match went for a "spooky", horror-based theme

Even though this match completed, lonrefne dropped out, giving Lety the automatic win.

==Set 2==

While InfernAl_Toad won the match, prior demotivation to continue the tournament caused them to drop from further matches, giving slabsten the win.

The main focus of this match was about all things King Crimson; in particular, many references to Robert Fripp.

The final round uses a variety of [[Analog Distortion]] effects throughout. The "finale", to the ending sequence of "Larks' Tongues in Aspic Part II", used a TV broadcast of the entire match up to that point sped up, displayed on four screens,  all in a circle. A camera was placed in the middle and spun around with a Lazy Susan, rapidly speeding up until cutting to black.

This match focused on Touhou.

This match predominantly used The Upside Down Show as its main source. The last round was notable as {{BortLoco}} modded many elements of the previous round into a Mario Kart map; then played through the whole thing. While being one of the most unique rounds of the entire tournament, it unfortunately didn't land him the win as {{LopunnyBoy}} moved on to set 3.

==Set 3==

This match only went three rounds.

slabsten dropped out after round 3, giving doog the automatic win.

This match was themed around The 8-Bit Guy and other youtubers - Both players have an interest in retro technology, and shared injokes, resulting in strong chemistry, and a memorable match overall.

==Set 4==

Neither match of this set went all the way through.

This match didn't get very far, as system128 dropped out shortly after the tournament began. It was intended to be a semi-successor to the [[Doubles Cup 4#Set 5|finals of Doubles Cup 4]], with alot of sources in common, as well as callbacks. The match is intended to be resumed as a segment within the [[infinitysnapz vs system128|non-tournament match]] between these two players.

This match was themed around the video game Pizza Tower. {{mrdoognoog}} dropped out before finishing round 6 due to not having the time to finish (or move forward in the case of a win).

==Set 5==

The final match of this tournament took place between April and August of 2024 - several months after it should have ended - with college and life getting in the way, some argued that this match should have never happened. Regardless, it continued anyway, and concluded to critical acclaim.
