architect1 vs. GameBop was a YouTube Poop/Video Tennis match that took place between April 20 and June 1, 2009. Considered to be the first of what can be seen as GameBop's "oddity" series of matches, where they played multiple games of tennis with either complete unknowns or outsiders in relation to the main tennis community, it was the first source of videos from its serving player entirely as well as her first match. It was the 20th match to be completed by GameBop. Sources used include Kukori Es Kotkoda, Jewels of the Oracle and a Kinder Chocolate Egg commercial.
Due to architect1's unusual, atypical style as a complete newcomer to video remix craft, the match took on a very experimental, mysterious and ambient tone that was considered novel for its time, and it has served to be a big influence on matches of a similar nature that followed in its wake. It was compared by contemporary viewers to ophios vs. RAKninja(2008), considered to be the first match to follow in a similar slow, ambient and "creepy" tone that this match was seen to have expanded upon. It was a favorite match of MycroProcessor's, who considered two of the rounds to be among their all-time favorite YTPs. architect1 became a well-embraced fringe figure of the tennis community and continued to partake in tennis activities up to as recently as 2014, and the title's of Rounds 4-6 were later referenced in the titles of the second rotation of superkoffee vs. MycroProcessor vs. TheChutley(2010). Round 2 of this match, GameBop's own "Still a Bad time for Quicktime I see"(2009), was one of the 33 Round 2's sampled in GameBop's "Seconds, Anyone?"(2010), their serve for their match with Sploltoen and MycroProcessor in the 3-Way Tennis Tournament.
