Tennis League 5: Difference between revisions

Line 29:

The '''Tennis League {{5}}''', also known as '''TL5''' was a [[tennis tournament]] held from 2019 to 2020 on [[YTPMania]]. It was the seventeenth tournament overall and the first of four to be hosted on that site.

It was hosted by ~~the newly appointed~~ {{mrdoognoog}} ~~and~~ {{VidTens443}}, ~~not-yet-appointed~~ {{nm41}} ~~and~~ {{dew}}, and Morshe, marking the official beginning of the post-[[YouChew]] era of tennis tournaments. It returned to many of the fundamental tenants of the [[Tennis League 4]], now with the added gimmick of divisions rotating through different match types like the [[Tennis Season]], including Wildcard, Single Source, [[Multiplied Time]], [[Noplug]], and Standard/"Vanilla". For the first time since the [[Doubles Cup 1]], votes were collected entirely by public poll, but with no judge votes used at all. It was eventually won by {{Razerek}}<ref>https://ytpmania.net/t/tl5-final-cheechee-vs-nmfourtyone-vidtens443-vs-mafar-vs-lopunnyboy-zevio-vs-razerek-done-vote/7224/31</ref>, making him the second ever person to win a tennis tournament twice, and the first to win two tournaments in a row.

The tournament captured the tennis community in a complete system reset, with nearly all the old community having since scattered or retired from tennis. It was the ~~first~~ tennis ~~competition~~ to ~~feature {{CRJ1}}~~, ~~{{Milk Gaming Channel}}~~, {{~~system128~~}}, {{~~Nubman41~~}}, {{~~mrdoognoog~~}}, {{~~Wodienfor~~}}, {{~~Instert Name Here~~}}~~, {{Gabiwoda}}, {{DatComputerGuy}}, {{BortLoco}}, {{AngryLuigi23}} and ZeroLittleWords,~~ the ~~final tennis competition to feature {{mafar}}, {{Sploltoen}}, {{BoomDaCorgi1337}}, MAZZ0Murder, {{CamHead}}, and {{ClassicBirch}}, and~~ the ~~only~~ tournament ~~to feature {{AwesomeGuy117}}~~, ~~Extrenor, {{PoopTV}}, TyrannosAsh420, poprox101, afterbirth!, SuperPoopBros, {{sull0}}, KaiPixelLeap7800 and Ian O'Keefe~~.

The tournament captured the tennis community in a complete system reset, with nearly all the old community having since scattered or retired from tennis. Initially, when tennis operations had fully relocated to YTPMania following [[YouChew]]'s closure, a new tournament was teased by the [[tennis staff]] of the time but nothing ever came to fruition, and after a year's time many members would post statements of retirement instead, including {{Biodegradable}}, {{CorruptionSound}}, {{MycroProcessor}} and {{Metroid998}}. The Tennis League 5 was thusly the first conjured by a completely new generation of players, with {{VidTens443}} stating in the introductory post for the event that "many years had passed" since a tournament took place (in fact, only two years had passed since the beginning of the [[Doubles Cup 3]].)

~~=History=~~

It was the first tennis competition to feature {{CRJ1}}, {{Milk Gaming Channel}}, {{system128}}, {{Nubman41}}, {{mrdoognoog}}, {{Wodienfor}}, {{Instert Name Here}}, {{Gabiwoda}}, {{DatComputerGuy}}, {{BortLoco}}, {{AngryLuigi23}} and ZeroLittleWords, the final tennis competition to feature {{mafar}}, {{Sploltoen}}, {{BoomDaCorgi1337}}, MAZZ0Murder, {{CamHead}}, and {{ClassicBirch}}, and the only tournament to feature {{AwesomeGuy117}}, Extrenor, {{PoopTV}}, TyrannosAsh420, poprox101, afterbirth!, SuperPoopBros, {{sull0}}, KaiPixelLeap7800 and Ian O'Keefe.

~~Tennis~~ was ~~in a very troubled time after~~ the ~~shutdown of [[YouChew]]. Many of the staff were completely gone~~, and ~~it was up to~~ the ~~younger crowd~~ to ~~pick up the pieces. With no staff~~, ~~who would run tournaments?~~

~~Due to the general immaturity of many of the staff in hosting tournaments~~, ~~TL5 was a growing pain in rebuilding that side of the community.
