It was played as a part of the Set 2 lineup of matches, in which ophios had previously defeated Luioigi and RAKninja had been given a bye when Gallers dropped out after his Round 3. Two days before this lineup was announced, RAKninja posted "oh shit, i might be playing ophios!", in turn accurately predicting its outcome and making this match one somewhat anticipated.<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/31-completed-games/2289-ytp-tennis-cup-complete/11.html#post-256095</ref> Sources used include the Mike Oldfield composition "Tubular Bells, Part One"(1973), ''Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street''(2007), a video ophios described as simply called "Thai Alphabet", an audio portal rendition of John Carpenter's "Halloween (Main Title Theme)"(1978), "Youtube poop: scratch plunges for a while..."(2007; taken from ''The Adventures of Sonic The Hedgehog's'' opening titles), a video titled "Guiliani's answer to everything" that sources ''The O'Reilly Factor'', one of the "Who Are You Running From?"
