Congratulations to both of you on making it this far. You have both put on a good showing so far, keep it up. You both have until the 30th at 11:59pm est to post your one bar. Beat of luck to the both of you and may the best man win. 

Surprised by both here. One takes the win here for me though I did expect to see stronger bars in the final. Fairs in, fellas. Best of luck to whoever wins. 

I thought this one was pretty clear for the winner. Overall better setup with a concise punch and idea that fit together and landed at the end. Fair's in.

This battle will determine LB's first 2x One Bar Champion? Let's go!!!

Expo:The movie Citizen Kane ends with a shot of a skateboard with the name Rosebud written on it being tossed into a fire.

Also, the winner of this battle will be LB's first two-time One Bar Champion

If I'm comprehending Sho's bar correctly, it was directed at row's bud and not row. For that, I'm giving it to row for having the more direct and harder hitting punch although the chauffeur wp is played, he did better with the setup/concepts leading to the final blow. Nothing but fair. Props to both for getting this far 

Nice bars, both had a solid finisher but my winner has a more complex bar with a really good ending punch. Also Shodan Rosebud was a sled, not a skateboard lmao.

Expo: Dono was the first two-time One Bar Champion lol

^ Well you may be right but Student has been here since forever so I was trusting him lol

No worries haha may the best bar win

My vote is fair. One just had a stronger bar

Congrats to both of you.

Both had nasty punches and mulitis but my winner had the cleaner setup to the punch fvnh

Very close battle here. I'm cool with u both so fair vote is in. Both of you did a great job of bringing a fresh concept to the table 

Tough choice here. I got my pick edging this with a slightly better setup.. other than that this is even for me

Good battle. My winner got this w/ a better punch & dope concept. The other had a good idea as well, but it didn't hit as hard. Fair's in, NO H8.

Nothing really stood out from either writer, both bars seemed like filler or opening bars to me nothing really clever or entertaining enough to stick out my winner didn't use chauffeur wordplay though fv in 

i think one was decent but couldve expanded a bit more the winner imo was more impactful and had more jabs i think so fair vote is tossed. Nd GL to both.

This battle surprised me to be honest. Sho's bar was constructed well, and hit with decent impact. However, it did come off a bit flat because the setups and the actual schemework was more on the basic side. Then there's Row, who had a good bar as well, but his was more complex (maybe to a fault). His scheme-work was more creative, which can be a good and bad thing because it might take some voters a couple of reads to follow it. 

Overall I feel one put more thought into making the punch unique and followed that up with more a aggressive and interesting approach. I tried to stay away from voting because I have an open battle with one of the participants, but I was urged by many to vote anyways.

Great finale fellas.

First of all sorry about the mix up, first 2x One Bar Champ*, should've researched that first.

Both could've been stronger though imo. Winner was more complex with a stronger punch. Loser's bar just didn't quite land, setup / wording were lacking but the concept was good. Both had good use of wordplay & use of limited space. Congrats to whoever wins, both had great runs this tournament, keep elevating y'all!

Fuck this was good. 

I can't vote but I definitely have a slight favorite.

Grats to both. This was a dope read overall. Shodan punch was fire. Setups weren't bad. It could have been better imo but the bar was nice overall. Row did well with higher multis. The punch was worded smoothly and was effective. Usually Sho wp is overused but it was done in a creative way here. I'm going with Row I felt his one bar hit harder here.

Im gonna drop a vote even tho this card is full of sleight of hand scumbags-

Shodan- it wasnt enough in my opinion. Your flow was smoother because it was simpler and the concept fresher but im surprised you dropped that bar knowing Lock just lost to dude using a rose/rows bar. You've seen him on fire in this tourney dropping complex shit and shoulda prepped better. 

Row- You sacrifice flow for complexity and really make use of the space of a one bar battle. Its a good tactic against Shodan. The correlations I think beat out Shodans with a decent bar but only because Shodans concept, while fresher, doesnt have the same impact because its too obscure from mainstream and people gotta relate to the bars.

This is an honest breakdown- no hatin. I think both of you could body 98% of everyone here in text. I personally vote Row for complexity and connecting correlations.

Row had the more complete bar set up that led to a more impactful punch. It seemed like sho' verse was aimed at someone that's not battling...imo 

dope shit from both tho

Both were great 1 bars, but I found Row to have a harder punch overall. With less references and more punches. No bias Shodan. GG's.

dope . fairs in
