3-Way Tennis Tournament 2: Difference between revisions

The commencement of the tournament coincided with a surprising turn of events in the community, in which several veteran members suddenly made a comeback starting in August of that year, both before and after the launch of the YellowTealPurple forums, largely spearheaded by its two lead admins {{dew}} and infinitysnapz. It is sometimes seen, in more ways than one, as the potential beginning of a bright new era for tennis, parallel to how the original instance of this tournament ended up marking a transition of eras in and of itself. This is the first tournament to feature the participation of soundphaseytp, portaldash, foldername, hitori, mahify, ElijahStar and Media904. It is also a return tournament for multiple of its participants; {{dew}} returned after having last played in the [[Doubles Cup 4]] in 2022, TheChutley, ThirtyTwelve, fiv95 and TehShadzify after having last played in the [[Doubles Cup 3]] in 2017-2018, and CheeChee after having last played in the [[Match Voting Tournament 2]] in 2021. GameBop also initially secretly joined under the name DisguisedSqueak43, revealing their true identity 10 days before Set 1 lineups were announced, also making their comeback after 2 years of no video activity period and their first tournament appearance since the MVT2 as well. {{veritylarsen}} initially signed up, having last played in the [[Multi-Way Tennis Tournament]] all the way back in 2014, but then subsequently dropped out for personal reasons without having made any rounds. TheChutley and GameBop were the only two players returning from the original [[3-Way Tennis Tournament]]; Additional veteran trepmaws also started a "Three-Way Lobby Shuffle" parallel event to make up for all the player slots being filled but there being double the amount of players interested in participating. This marks trepmaws' own return to tennis after a roughly 7 year gap of any video activity in addition. All current members of the [[tennis staff]] except for AngryLuigi23 were able to secure spots in the tournament.
