While initially received with great notice due to the many boundaries broken in just these two rounds in addition to a radically new language of approach being experimented with in tennis, MycroProcessor vs. AshcrementVII has subsequently retreated into a more obscure yet fascinating curiosity of a "match that could have been" due to it never properly progressing past this point and subsequently being eclipsed by the achievements of similar long form improvisational matches that followed in its wake. The rounds made continue to survive in their original uploads, and they were both first compiled into a single video on the [[YouWouldBeWelcome]] account in July 2026.
