Welcome to round one of the Grand CHampionship. You have until 11:59pm on the 7th to get your 16 lines posted. Best of luck, gents. 

nice battle, both brought some heat here but my winner was above his opps but the opps will def be a force to rekon with

One had the harder execution of punches here looser had some good angles and didnt do bad atall but the winner was just too locked into his game fv

Decent battle here. One was leaps n bounds ahead of his op. Nice hitting bars, swagger, wording on point etc etc. Best of luck to both, my votes to Esso on this one. 

Stay up, 1/

Both brought nice shit. That ess court bar was nice along with that charity case bar. Good luck to both. 

One came out the gate swinging I liked that some fire bars and flow the other had some cool concepts and nice ideas but I've seen much better from him felt like his verse wasn't consistent enough but good ass battle overall yall :high:

This was decent showing, feel one had a better verse tho fv as always

Best round 1 battle in my opinion. Both had some bangers. I got my winner based on what i felt was a bit more consistent with the haymakers. Dope spar folks

Dark: Good verse, stepped it up on previous ones I've read. Ended was probably the bar that hit the least. 

Esso: standard from you, opener was nice.  1st half was better than the 2nd half, that part seemed rushed. 

overall, one was stronger with the multis, set ups and punches. Fair vote in. GL both. 

Felt winner was better organized and had better wording, loser wasnt bad just wasnt as hard hitting as he couldve been, but he was a little nice at the end so fairs in and gl fellas....

Havent checked in with the text in while, but overall still some tought battles. To many quotables for both i went with my preference and with what i thought had some haymakers.

Keeping it a buck, DS verse read like a pretty good regular battle verse and ESSO came RIPPIN like an avanlanche, every bar was official, no frontin.

Fair vote is in gents

Tough match to vote on. Ultimately going Esso. I don't feel like Dark heated up until the Shell companies line, which I feel shouldve been opener or at least first half of verse. Esso was a consistent read throughout, vaccine bar and shell companies were highlights from both, ess just got this with more pressure. gb

this was close seid finished really strong but esso had the overall tougher verse in my opinion fair vote no hate ..................
