Welcome to the semi-finals of the 2023 concept tourney. You both have 3 days to post, till the 1st of February @ 11:59pm Est. Best of luck gentlemen. 

Your concept is: South Park

Entertianing reads on both sides here. Both stuck to the concept well. My winners punches hit cleaner. Fair sin, lads. best of luck to whoever goes through.

Both tackled the concept nicely but I feel one just did it better in all categories. Fair's in & GL in the finals.

Concept is South Park

Concept: South Park. Everything italicized is a reference to South Park.                                                               

Expo: He reached the semi-finals by all no-shows. Made a thread asking to be a Hall of Famer. If you see his last 5 wins, 4 was from PeaceOfficer (formerly PaL). He used “but ocks/buttocks” in his lost battle vs GRR POW [ops]. Been on the site since 2011. GL

one had some filler set ups , better concepts. The other had smoother flow & set ups but some of the concepts were very basic... 

tough choice. fair vote in . GL both 

Anbu

Two heavyweights going at it. One dude edged this with a nice flow but some hard as fuck schemes. The winner had some really dope South Park references, both of y'all did but I think the winners stood out more. Loser was dope ofcourse too and made it hard to vote against him with some of the schemes he came up with 

GOD FUCKING DAMN that opener was nuts Row. Honestly the verse had some super heavy hits in there. best stuff I think I've read from you.

Phe the stick of truth and jimmy bar was good but the rest lacked that clever ooomph to it.

Good battle. this goes to row for harder and more frequent hits with cleverness.

Winner verse was on point. Had some stand out lines, closer setup multi wasn't the best, kind of dragged. Loser had a good attempt, some decent jabs sprinkled throughout, some of the multis weren't the best but solid verse. Concept was dope 

Alright y'all, good read on both sides, congrats on making it to the semifinals. I don't know this concept well, watched the movie back in the day, I've seen some episodes but side characters are completely lost on me so I can't really deduct points for relying on the expo, with that being said punches are punches so let's go with the vote.

Row: Writing was clean overall, some characters were hard to pronounce but that's their names so what can you do. Personals landed with good setups but last 4th of your verse wasn't as strong. Still good use of the Concept with some heavy punches thrown & landed 8/10

Phenomonon: Opener was nice, next line I didn't really get tbh so I looked it up, an expo would've been nice but now I know that Gore released his documentary a month after the "ManBearPig" episode which is kinda cool, anyways setup could've been better, didn't quite land here. Kyle line was decent, setups were there but ending punch was played. Stick of Truth line was nice man, obscure reference albeit but idk just hit hard for me. Jimmy line was cool, setup to end punch, just a well constructed line. Christmas line fell short but last line was good. Overall a good verse but your setups needed work, good use of references though. 7/10

Overall: Both used the concept well, my winner had a better structure which made their verse flow better and they were able to land stronger punches. Good & bad aspects on both sides, fairs in y'all, keep elevating!

Kudos to both of you making it this far. 

Got my winner clear who really went and elevated there concepts over the opponent. Opponent was solid his opp just brough more. FVNH. and Good luck to the person who progresses to the finals. 

I felt my winner used punchlines that were a lot more hard-hitting and well put together. Very, VERY interesting multi-syllable incorporation and wordplay. Some of that wordplay was hilarious too no cap. Ultimately he stuck with the concept a lot nicer here which earns him the big W.

My loser also came in pretty strong, but his punchlines just weren't cutting it here compared to his opponent's. The way he conceptualized his shit was unique and so were some of the metaphors he used, set-up with proper structure, yet could've been set-up in ways to make them more hard-hitting. 

personally i think its a great concept choice , u both done very well, just one hit harder and was more creative with it , smoother execution of his bars . GB and GL

One verse flowed smoother and had a lil more references in it. Other had a nice showing and a few highlights but just not enough for this bout here. Props to both
