'''{{slabsten}} vs. {{Ivan}} vs. RaymanChrome''' is a YouTube Poop/Video [[YTP Tennis|tennis match]] played as a part of the [[3-Way Tennis Tournament 2]], taking place between February 26 to March 10, 2025. It was played as a part of the Set 2 lineups, with all three players having previously lost their respective matches; GnarpyFan4000 had lost to TheChutley, BortLoco had lost to TehShadzify, and RaymanChrome had lost to VidTens443 in Set 1. All three players were noted to be veterans of [[Missadaxio]], and thusly had previously tangibly interacted in a tennis setting previously.

All three players were noted to be veterans of [[Missadaxio]], and thusly had previously tangibly interacted in a tennis setting previously.

Among a handful of matches to establish a private Discord chat for the purpose of match/player coordination, the match was incredibly "anarchistic" in nature, with all three players playing in a much more carefree nature of tennis that is rare in tournaments, let alone regular tennis. Out of the three {{ivan}} had the closest rounds to be what could be considered "traditional", though this could still be considered a stretch. Rounds would vary wildly in length and quality, sometimes not even noticeably using the previous round. The titles of each round have virtually no correlation to each other as well. In the match thread, many rounds are intentionally wrongly labeled; for example, the serve is labeled as a 1v1 vs InfernaL Toad. <ref>https://yellowtealpurple.net/forums/threads/set-2-gnarpyfan4000-v-bortloco-v-raymanchrome-done-vote.1235/</ref>

{{slabsten}}'s round 4 was released with a length of around ten seconds and used little if any of the previous round. When it was pointed out this would give him a penalty as the tournament rules enforce a 20 second round minimum, the original round was deleted and reuploaded at 50% speed to avoid this. {{Ivan}}'s round 5 and RaymanChrome's round 6 can be seen as the most "traditional" rounds of the match, with their styles being quite similar to their "regular" works at the time. This was not to last, however, with {{slabsten}}'s 15 minute long Round 7 defying all expectations with a visual assault of various memes, TV station indents/logos and cartoon clips. A notable repetition is the use of the "Gospel Chicken" ''Nickelodeon'' bumper (1993) throughout the round and the plotline of "Skidibi Meals". RaymanChrome's round 9, ending the match, was seen as a "bow out" from the tournament<ref>https://yellowtealpurple.net/forums/threads/set-2-gnarpyfan4000-v-bortloco-v-raymanchrome-done-vote.1235/post-17350</ref> done in an intentionally "childish" style with the previous round sped up to only a few seconds, edited to be unrecognizable, and otherwise largely obstructed by "the mario ꜱᴜᴘᴇʀ ᴍᴀʀɪᴏ"(2025), a completely different recently uploaded video of BortLoco's.

{{slabsten}} vs. BortLoco vs. RaymanChrome was played start to finish in only 12 days, making it the fastest match to complete in a tournament where matches took a month on average otherwise. It became an instant favorite with the [[Tennis Staff]], in particular {{dani}}, {{TheChutley}} and {{infinitysnapz}} who praised the complete disregard for norms set for the tournament up to that point.

This was, however, the last appearance in the tournament of all players involved; with BortLoco and RaymanChrome becoming eliminated, {{slabsten}} subsequently announced that he was dropping out from the tournament when Set 3 began, "Mainly because I just do not care" and "I literally cannot replicate whatever the hell I did in set 2 that has given me a win lol"<ref>https://yellowtealpurple.net/forums/threads/the-video-tennis-cafe-another-mr-lizard.30/post-25433</ref>. He was subsequently replaced by {{Yottifferent}}, who played well enough to eventually win the tournament itself.
