superkoffee vs. MycroProcessor vs. TheChutley was a YouTube Poop tennis match played as a part of the 3-Way Tennis Tournament, taking place between September 2 and November 26, 2010. It was a part of the Set 3 lineup of matches, and one of 4 taking place within this set's "losers" bracket; every player in this bracket had already lost exactly one game previously in the tournament, and whoever lost their matches this set would be eliminated. The winners bracket of this set was GameBop vs. Moogle vs. Metzgorrre, and the two losing players of this match would then mingle with the winning players in the losers bracket for two matches in Set 4. TheChutley had lost in the first set to Luioigi, but had defeated Futures Passed and vvaluigi in the second, and MycroProcessor had defeated ChrisGendo and JakeSteel in the first set but lost to GameBop in the second set.

Originally set to be DaftPunkYoshi vs. MycroProcessor vs. TheChutley, DaftPunkYoshi (who defeated AmiralMachin and vvaluigi in the first set but lost to Metzgorrre in the second set) became unable to participate further in the tournament, and subsequently retired his legendary usage of Windows Movie Maker in favor of Adobe Premiere Elements for his videos going forward. superkoffee, who had previously appeared as a one-off replacement in the Set 2 match GameBop vs. Sploltoen vs. MycroProcessor to make Round 7 in place of GameBop, stepped in again as a replacement for his first full tournament match, and the only one he would play in this competition.

This was the first match played by MycroProcessor to display a radical shift in his editing style, debuted for the first time in his Round 2, "I don't trust anyone". It was a change he additionally marked by uploading this video on his main channel, where his most visually complex and "impressive" work was usually posted, under the title "OH NO WHAT HAPPEN TO MYCRO HE WAS MY FAVOURITE TENNISER BUT NOW HE IS A". It was with this round that the tone and direction the match was to take was set, as all three players ended up making each of their rounds in this match incredibly distinctive from one another, and all taking bold creative directions with their responses. This match can be identified by its very musical and wandering first third, its frenetic and seemingly rushed second third, and then its climactic and long-form last third. Sources added include the Sid and Marty Krofft television shows The Bugaloos, Lidsville and H.R. Pufnstuf, the Pokemon animated series, a video called "Celeberty Winter Advice with Geddy Lee", Riven(PC, 1997), Pulseman(Mega Drive, 1994), a video on the making of Reah: Face the Unknown(PC, 1998), a then very recently released announcement trailer for Bioshock Infinite(PS3/PC/Mac/Xbox 360, 2013), the Monty Python film And Now for Something Completely Different(1971), a large amount of images and sprites of or containing the Pokemon eeveelutions Umbreon, Jolteon and Glaceon (meant to represent the three players of the match in their volleying order), an edited image of Nigel Thornberry from The Wild Thornberrys, several images of ferries ("FERRY RAVE!"), the album cover of the 1981 Rush album Moving Pictures, Rush's classic "Starman" logo, an instrumental FM synth rendition of the Yes song "Roundabout"(1972), the original recording of the Yes song "Heart of the Sunrise"(1972), and the Rush songs "Cygnus X-1: Book 2"(1978), "Show Don't Tell"(1989), "Distant Early Warning"(1984), "Jacob's Ladder"(1980), "Force Ten"(1987), "Where's My Thing? 'Part IV (Gangster of Boats Trilogy)'"(1991), "Hemispheres"(1978), "Limelight"(1981), "Xanadu"(1977), and "La Villa Strangiato"(1978). This is also the earliest match in which rounds are responded to with either filmed or screen recorded footage of each player's computer screen, as a creative way to both feature the previous round in an unusual way and to add more footage into the match. This would be done again with great effect in the MWTT Teal Set 2 match(2013-2014).

superkoffee vs. MycroProcessor vs. TheChutley became an instant favorite of the younger contemporary community of the time, and has subsequently gone on to be considered as one of the best tennis matches ever played, if not the best. All three players are recognized positively for the work they contributed to this match; superkoffee for his signature whimsicality and mind-bending visual effects for the time, MycroProcessor for his daring stylistic reinventions and out-of-the-box way of approaching responses, most significantly in his Round 2 and Round 8, and TheChutley for creating one of the match's more defining images in Round 6 and for the outlandish humor put on display for her lengthy and comedic Round 9. MycroProcessor declared at the match's conclusion that it was his favorite that he had ever participated in, and it was wondered by some as to how this lineup ended up in the losers bracket. Ultimately, for his rounds having the most inventive approach of all three players and effectively steering the overall direction the strongest, MycroProcessor became the winner of this match.

superkoffee's account that he played from, LeSuperKoffee, was terminated in 2020 due to a YouTube policy change regarding "hateful or offensive content" that came after it due to his infamous "9/11 tennis match" that took place in 2011, however his account was fully archived by dani_phantump ahead of time, allowing his rounds to remain preserved. It was first compiled into a single video on "Ytp Delivery System" in November 2020, subsequently compiled on the YouWouldBeWelcome account in August 2021, and later recompiled into a more high-quality version with better copies of the rounds on "TheChutley Archive" in October 2024.

Round 4

"Trust magazine - Issue no. 13531 .on eussI - enizagam tsurT" by superkoffee

Note: Back in the days when YouTube videos allowed for video annotations, which also came in the form of links, superkoffee hid a link in this round's original upload that briefly appeared over 0:46, right when the chroma-keyed Betty White(?) appears on screen. This would have taken you to an unlisted video titled "Round 4 Secret Chroma Keyable Image", which would have congratulated you on finding it and instructing the volleying player to use it in their next round, much like in the serve. superkoffee only pulled this trick one more time in 2012, with his Round 2 with CorruptionSound in the Tennis Cup 4. Unlike how the first chroma keyable image was used in Round 2 of this match, MycroProcessor does not use this chroma keyable image in Round 5.
