guessing because that tourney doesnt have nearly the same level of competition so you shouldnt have the same title as people who won legit grand champ tournies

Smh @ implying this isn't a legit tourney. I agree with what BLNK and Verity said. It's still a new format for LB where everyone is a noob and there isn't any cemented consensus of what a video battle submission should consist of. Top competitors from both the Text and Audio sides entered. There's a cash prize on the line (as if we have those in every tourney) and all these battles are being watched by hundreds of people within and outside of the LB community. Asides from the no-shows (which will reduce drastically from ROUND 1), you can't get any more competitive at this stage!
As far as the title being offered, a Video Battle Champion IS a Grand Champion as far as I'm concerned. Like @2FUEL has stated, this is something we'll be holding annually. This tournament would have been held in the official brackets if not for the fact that it will overlap the Text tourney that was slated for October...and we're using a text format to receive votes right now.
Let's not forget the video battle arena was the 3rd major section of LB for a long time before, and from talking to RULE and Pugz, all indications are that it will be brought back soon with upgraded video players. The Video Battle Champion title we're giving for this tourney now is in anticipation of the video battle arena that's to come along with the fact that we continue to see more and more interest in video battles on the internet period. Saying this ain't legit is looking backwards, not forward.
