'''Ishkibibl vs. {{NS2}}''' was a [[YouTube Poop]]/Video [[tennis]] match played on the [[YouChew forums]] between July 28 and August 16, 2008. It was the final match of the [[Tennis Cup]], with Ishkibibl having previously defeated Temeku/MTB710 and NS2 having previously defeated ophios in the semi-final set. It was also the farthest that either player would ever get within a tournament structure; the [[Tennis Cup]] was Ishkibibl's only tournament and one of two tournaments to be played in by NS2, both in 2008. Played during an era in which tournament matches had a hard two-week deadline for all 6 rounds to be completed, an extension was made to accommodate for NS2 going on vacation, after which the two players had a small amount of time to complete more than half of their match and managed to do so just before the deadline.<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/56-archive/76274-tennis-cup-coverage-happy-end/1.html</ref> Sources used throughout the match include ''Saved By The Bell'', three of Ishkibibl's own videos, ''Pulp Fiction''(1994), ''Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty''(PS2, 2001), ''Tomoyo After: It's a Wonderful Life''(PC, 2005), ''Gears of War''(Xbox 360, 2006), ''Whose Line Is It Anyway?''(Season 3 Episode 9), ''Higurashi no Naku Koro ni'', a Pontiac Fiero commercial, "The Stegbus Goes On A Drunken Rampage"(2008) by AbsoluteBillion, ''Batman''(1989), ''Amistad''(1997), ''Kanon'', The Daft Punk song "Something About Us"(2001), and a television performance of The Doors playing "Light My Fire"(1967). | '''Ishkibibl vs. {{NS2}}''' was a [[YouTube Poop]]/Video [[tennis]] match played on the [[YouChew forums]] between July 28 and August 16, 2008.

NS2 focused his strategy largely around the augmentation of effective sources and his usual brand of clever, simple edits executed in WMM, and was considered to have made an admirable and solid argument for victory, especially with his contributions to the match's second half. In a review of the match written by {{strong414bad}}, he regarded Round 3 as "a really well-done tennis round and it's unlike anything I've ever seen from Tennis" and Round 4 as "a very effective Tennis round and a surprisingly uplifting [YTP]. It's an amazing response to an amazing round, and it turns the match from great to legendary." He concluded by describing the match as "one of the best matches I've seen, and it's highly reccommended for everybody who loves the game."<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/56-archive/76274-tennis-cup-coverage-happy-end/1.html</ref> | ||
