Welcome to 2023's One Bar Championship. You both have three days to wrire and submit your One Bar. Your One Bar must not exceed 220 characters. If it does, you will be DQ'ed. 

Best of luck gentlemen. 

Not the worst battle of the round, whoever goes through will need to step it, both felt forced, leaning towards Shodan on this one though. Fairs in, gents. 

This sho's / shows about ta get trippy ( visually intense ) 

Honestly not a good battle. Felt Sho barely edged it even though it's not how you pronounce his name (it's deadtree, not deadtry). Felt DeadTRI was a bit too forced with his multis and wordplay here tbh. Made it a bit harder to follow than it needed to be.

Ok lets have a peep - Sho this might be my fave of the ones ive read so far, simple flow (altho the 2nd multi set i had to read twice to catch the rhythm) but really liked the punch. funny... fresh... i like. Dead the wording was very forced on the whole bar, sho was about to get trippy? You gotta make sure a bar reads naturally. Clear winner for me. 1/ 

Felt both could have done better in setting up the punches. Multis were forced on both sides & the concepts were also stretched a bit.   FV in 

I felt like one didn't really do enough compared his opponent, too much filler in the setup imo. Fv nh

Good OB here, both were WP heavy so for me it was important who delivered that with more impact. In terms of flow/multis both had that, so it came down to the concept where I thought one edged that. Good luck y'all 

ok here we go go DeadTRI this aint the best i seen from yuh bruh.

ok bars wise to cop something means to buy something so to stop you from buying it doesnt make much sense unless you admitting to buying the title, Lets dissect the bars even further, if anybody coming from the underground its you, DeadTRI been active so that bars a straight dub, Now FALLING APART... AND THIS doesnt really rhyme too tuff imo. other than that got to give it to DT for a cleaner drop on that note MAY THE BEST BAR WIN!

This was close.. thought one's wp was hella forced, didnt fly w/ me. the other's bar just was a rough read - seemed to have a creative idea but wasn't executed smoothly. Boils down to readability and better schemework. 

Damn

This might be the match of the first round. My winner was solid all the way through but truly my loser only lose this by a hair. This was fire. good match FVNH. 

My choice was so smooth here and hit harder but I was fucking with my losers concept here. If my loser could've executed their bar as smooth as my winner they would've had this

It felt like Deadtri tried to be a little too complex with the wordplay and nameflips. Shodan had a more straight forward approach and topped it off with a solid punch. Solid battle but I have my winner chosen, fair vote in no hate.

Nice outting here from both dudes. My losers punch had some good oomph behind it but the setup and the ending wasn't as hard as the winners here. Fairs in
