Line 64:

The match had been highly anticipated by both of its players, who hoped to be able to face each other under this variant.<ref>https://ytpmania.net/t/tennis-league-fiv-cheers-to-razzy/4852/308</ref> While falling under Wildcard rules for the set, the match took a different approach by instead relying on [https://stoney.sb.org/eno/oblique.html a website implementing Brian Eno's Oblique Strategies] for every round (except round 2), as per dani_phantump's instigation. The game was highly regarded for its time by both its players and audience, with some even calling for a "friendly tie" <ref>https://ytpmania.net/t/tl5-set-3-vidtens443-vs-dew-done-vote/5640/20</ref> out of respect. dani_phantump's roster has the following retrospective commentary:

<small>"The one match I played in this tournament that felt like a genuine challenge, and one I very much had to work for to ~~win, which~~ was ~~so satisfying~~ to ~~pull off~~. ~~VidTens~~ came at me with some extremely specific wildcard restrictions for Round 2, but I otherwise used this match to invent a new variant called "Oblique Strategies Tennis", where rather than choose specific restrictions, these are chosen by an outside system that give no real direct instructions and are meant to be recreated interpretively. For three of the four rounds of this match we operated under these kinds of experimental conditions and I would say that the launch of this variant was a success. I need to actually play another match of this kind though!"</small><ref>https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1fu92OzoP3Vabsju1MmXyvU-keTyfPDaaGjNMjUHwA_4/edit?gid=0#gid=0</ref>

<small>"The one match I played in this tournament that felt like a genuine challenge, and one I very much had to work for to keep up with Vid's classically fast-paced approach as it had become by this time not necessarily the style language that was most second-nature to me.
