Luioigi vs. GameBop vs. MycroProcessor was a YouTube Poop tennis match played as a part of the 3-Way Tennis Tournament, taking place between December 6, 2010 and January 8, 2011. It was played as part of the Set 4 lineup of matches; the semifinal lineup of this tournament alongside the match of ChrisGendo vs. Metzgorrre vs. Sploltoen (BSP666c at the time). With the first finalist already picked from the winners bracket of Set 3 (Moogle), this set determined who the remaining two players in the final match would be (ChrisGendo would win in the other match). Luioigi had previously defeated Funacceptable and NESfanboi, GameBop had previously lost to Moogle, and MycroProcessor had previously defeated superkoffee and TheChutley all in Set 3. Sources added include Ernest Le Vampire, Little Bear, Franklin, Scooby-Doo!, Dingo Pictures' Aladin(1993), the Marcell Jankovics/Tibor Hernadi Hungarian animated short "Gustavus Wants to Save Humanity", Fantadroms(1985), Kukori Es Kotkoda, the Pokemon animated series, Nu, Pagodi!, Bear in the Big Blue House, Banjo-Kazooie(N64, 1998), Kaput and Zösky: The Ultimate Obliterators, The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3(Season 1 Episode 7A - "A Toadally Magical Adventure"(1990)) and Alfred J. Kwak. (source list incomplete)

It was the 28th match played by Luioigi, the 51st match played by GameBop and the 31st match played by MycroProcessor. The match is known for having an eerie, concentrated and at times apocalyptic tone, similar in some ways yet entirely distinct from the other match played in this tournament set. Luioigi's style had by this point reached a stylistic apex, and essentially set the tone that was to follow for this match with his serve, "Ernie Summons Turtle Monsters from the Moon". GameBop approached this match with the most visually intense style of the three players, as signified by their impressively complex Round 2 and their very musical Round 5. Their Round 8 of this match, "? Rain fails to dampen the Boards Bill Created for the City's Pole Position ?" was later the subject of "Puzzle Pieces -4", part of their own series of "puzzle piece" type videos that showed the deconstruction of the video into the individual rendered segments that were used to eventually arrive at the final product.

This was MycroProcessor's second match played after a significant stylistic reinvention undertaken halfway through this competition. Each of his three rounds in this match took bold, exploratory directions apart from the work he had been previously known for while still being playful and synergistic with ideas and progression hints present in GameBop's rounds. One such example is a drastically sped-up audio and video sample of "Sid is not a BATTLE AXE" (Round 1 of GameBop vs. AjaxCubed from the Grey Tennis Tournament, cited as one of MycroProcessor's favorite ever YTPs) making an appearance in his frenetic Round 6 of this match. His final round was the first of three videos by him to be titled "5"; the most experimental round of this match, and one of the most avant-garde videos made within the YTP idiom period at the time, serving to have a vast influence upon the shape of tennis that was to come. These various directions and daring creative choices ended up making the largest impact, and it was MycroProcessor who became the winner of this match, and the third and final player chosen for the tournaments final match. This match would be ChrisGendo vs. MycroProcessor vs. Moogle, a match that famously only progressed 5 rounds before grinding to a permanent halt.

The Full Match

Round 1

A relatively standard serve, with Template:Luioigi playing in his regular style. The sources used include Ernest Le Vampire, a Hungarian dub of Franklin, and Scooby Doo.

Round 2

This was the first of many gimmick-based rounds of the match, focusing mostly on Replication.

Round 5

This round has a very interesting approach of making the entire thing a Pseudo-YTPMV while **also** tying it to an otherwise unedited episode of Kukori Es Kotkoda.

Round 8

Another gimmick-focused round, the main section does little to build off the previous round but rather uses it to create patterns of horizontal/vertical blocks that sporadically fill the screen.

Round 9

"5" by MycroProcessor

A round so out of ballpark different than anything that had ever been seen before, round 9's most striking feature is the very beginning, the white background with a single black line and the omnipotent drone. Then suddenly, a loud electronic hit breaks the stillness as a still of a windmill fades in, one random bar at a time. Soon enough the drone returns.

The rest of the round can only be descripted as "empty" - just enough to keep you interested with very, very little. Blurs and shapes pop in and out, unrecognizable sounds and drones appear and disappear. One of the added sources is UVB-76 or "The Buzzer", a Soviet number station.
