Two magnificent pieces, probably my favorite two of the tourney so far. Too bad you guys had to go head to head and one will be eliminated in round 1. I'm just going to break this down element by element. When it comes to flow/rhyme scheme, I felt Writer 2 edged it here. Writer 11 flowed nicely as well, but the way writer 2 transitioned his opening scheme into a partial of that scheme afterwards was dope, and throughout the verse, the schemes occurred more regularly. I enjoyed Writer 11's vocabulary more. It's not necessarily about who used "bigger" words, but how well their chosen set of words worked with their overall presentation. I think both presented their topics well, even though they took different approaches. Writer 2 presented a storyline whereas Writer 11 presented more of an interpretation. I felt Writer 2's piece was more layered. The storyline itself can be taken as a metaphor, and perhaps the story of the warrior empress who's actually just an actress going through an audition--is actually the story of all of us, as we all wear masks and go through our own "auditions" in life. Being that there was more storyline in Writer 2's piece, I felt it also conveyed more emotion and imagery as one could almost imagine the set and hear the clanging of swords as the warrior empress duels her opponents. Writer 11's piece was valuable as well, and I saw it as perhaps more philosophical. Dope final-worthy battle overall. It was very close but I got a winner by a very slight edge.
