Your 2-syllable Scheme is: "ONE TWO"

Good luck, have fun, and Thanks for Playing ;)

dope battle. i like the approaches from both. the winner leveraged the scheme better overall. votes in.

not a bad round there was a bit too much filla on both sides but one was a bit more on point with usage of the concpet here. GL gentleman 

my winner here i thought had the better scheme and lines 

Dope shit from both. My choice followed the scheme better and also creatively setup and executed his punches while sticking to the scheme. 

Asgard n Vanaheimr!!

Yall both did ya thing! I will say tho from both of y'all those endings need to be a lil bit stronger. I know I slipped up too.

I gave both a fair vote. I see this competition got all of us getting creative so far. Let's keep the momentum up!

Ruje your flow was a lil bit smoother. Kota King you came with the wordplay tho!

Felt Ruje got this by sticking to the scheme better here. Fair's in.

I know this expo late but anyway , - playsafe/on-lock-thumb's blue.

- 24 bolt carbine/cabin , ly-vang/living mind/Kung-fu , - black&white/hang-yoself/virginity/nun flew. 

What's the scheme? Was gonna vote but no scheme listed 

Both were decent. Ruje had better wordplay. Props to both. 

 Got that Smut Prude swallowin my Nut Juice and out of kindness, she took a “vow of silence” like a Monk Foo! <<Lmao

Scheme is One Two

Both did well with the scheme, although one did have a couple of multis that seemed forced or a bit off scheme.  Set ups & relevance in the multis to the punch was the difference here.  Good battle, fairs in 

Both brought it, fairly close battle here. Had to read several times. overall kota wins with the multis but both are matched in basically every other category. good shit. fair in.

Ruje: the flow on this verse was dope. One-two with few slant rhymes... a really consistent and focused scheme verse. Some of the punches... I didn't think was /too/ strong, the "Stun Few" line for example felt like a missed connection. For the most part, we're talking a very solid 2-syllable pattern throughout the entire box with some setups and punches sprinkled throughout.

Kota: i get that where your from is going to skew the accent a bit, but it does get a bit hard to read and follow the scheme towards the end of the verse. For example, "enough-glue" (uh-ou) compared to brown-show (ow-ou), which has a very different syllable sound in US and probably UK english. That aside, which I didn't weigh too heavily given your location, I felt like there were parts of the verse that sort of detracted from the best parts of what you wrote, like the ending for example. "Kick thru the alignment of ya teeth", at least to me, reads like a very long-winded and labored setup into "clown spew", and then "check this dude"-> crown new doesn't really have the UMPH that comprises of strong endings. FEels like the verse kind of goes out with a whimper after some intense battle-centric language.

not a bodybag or a nail-biter, but the winner pulled through for me through more consistent and frequent use of the scheme with easier-to-follow directions and battle-centric verses.

GB to both, obviously both are known around the site and capable of pulling out the W in a rematch.

fun read, i felt one was some what more creative and had more polished rhymes that were more effective then the other. Loser wasnt bad and was fairly decent but my winner came a bit stronger in all categories so fairs in.

First off. I would cap the multis in this tournament if I were you.

Winner had better multis and a better reading verse. 

Props gl to both

This was a decent spar. I enjoyed reading it. I feel like one's verse read smoother. And he stuck to the rhyme scheme a little better. It could be an accent but phonetically when I say it or use accents I know, it doesn't rhyme for me. But it's hard to stick a scheme at times, even two letter ones. Good luck to the winner and thanks to both for showing up and putting in that work.

Got ruje on the dub with better scheme work. Also bar of the battle for me was the sunroof shit. That was fire. Kota had some scheme issues and with a 2 syllable it should be kept pretty tight.

one followed the scheme more consistently as well as read more naturally. GL to both

My winner stuck to the scheme better and had a better read as far as clarity. Fairs in gg. 

Crazy to see Ruje back on his grind. Nice drop from dude. Winner had more suspense behind his bars and more personals. Fairs in good luck to the advancer
