Without swaying too much, I felt both teams had good punches/concepts, but were really lacking in basics, and both had some slants/wording issues, which lowered the readability factor of the verse. However, I felt one team was slightly better in every category, and left me feeling more entertained, by a significant margin. Fair's in. Low 7 - Mid 6. Voted: Yes (Hidden)

Tha winners were more consistent in all areas.. imo. Both had wording / wp issues that took away from impact, but one more than tha other. My vote goes to tha overall cleaner, stronger verse. Voted: Yes (Hidden)

Nice spar gentleman. I thought I'd see a few more knockout blows, but both were good reads. I felt one team was the bigger puncher & had a consistent angle while attacking their opponents.... Mid/Low - Respect Voted: Yes (Hidden)

Agree with Lock on this. The loser's wordplay and multis were really forced in a lot of the areas. I felt like there was too many attempts at nameplays which made the read a little repetitive at times. Not saying some of the wps weren't executed nicely, it's just like reading the same page over and over. The winners had some multi issues also here and there, same with the wordplay being forced. I also liked a lot of their concepts though, which sometimes were carried out to their full potential, sometimes not so much. The winner here was just more consistent with less forced angles in their box. Whoever wins will need to step it up next round and focus on readability a tad more rather than trying to carry out their ideas without concern for that risk. Good battle to both though, youse did your thing. The fair's in. Voted: Yes (Hidden)

Not giving anything away. One team was just clearer in their punches which resulted in them landing more. Both had cringe-worthy wp usage, lackluster closers and overall played concepts. Decent bout. Voted: Yes (Hidden)

Quite disappointing here to me, actually. I felt like the losers here came VERY intensely basic with their wordplay and rhyme schemes, to the point that half of the beginning scheme was skewed & forced into play just to make their concepts work. I REALLLLY can't say this enough, if none of your rhymes to set up your punch barely push the slant category then the impact of that punch will be drastically hindered. It's kind of like fist fighting with broken fingers there. My losers here came with borderline horrible wordplay that was super stretched in quite a lot of places. I think that what really hurt them is their stretched setups and lackluster rhyme-ability. Now, onto my winners. They themselves had some borderline laughably basic wordplay, but seemed to have more of a grasp on execution and fluidity, which ultimately gave them the W here. When it comes to creativity and structuring this is pretty much even, but that small edge was given to my winners here because of that smoother fluidity and more impactful execution. No hate intended, I'm just an offensive voter :) Voted: Yes (Hidden)
