2015 Video Battle Tournament
 

We're kicking off 2015's major Video Battle event this October. It will be hosted on the LetsBeef YouTube channel as a platform that we're building up to help those who may be looking to expand into live battling in the future. This is a great way to gain exposure to a larger audience and we will be uploading the compilations to the LetsBeef YouTube channel as they drop. The format is simple:
This is a 32 man elimination tourney. As long as you have a webcam and microphone, all you do is record yourself spitting your verse on camera. It can be over a beat of your own choosing or acapella, but the person sending will determine which one it is. If someone sends to you on a beat, you MUST respond on a beat or face disqualification. Likewise, if someone sends to you spitting acapella, you MUST respond with acapella or face disqualification. There will be a full week between rounds. Verses are written (unless you prefer to freestyle).
Contestants will upload their submission on their YouTube channels, then drop the links into a text battle. This way, LB can vote on it. Winners will be determined by LB voting results, not YouTube comments. If you do not have a YouTube channel and don't want to sign up for one for whatever reason, you can send me the clip and I will upload it for you.
There will be time limits to your submissions in each round (TBD). The time limits do not include whatever intros or graphical depictions you would like to include in your submission. It only restricts the actual time you spend on your verse.
The Winner will receive high quality Hip Hop jewellery provided by our sponsor WWW.HIPHOPBLING.COM valued at up to $50, a Royal Blue Title that reads Video Battle Champion, a LIFETIME exclusive membership, 3 emcee items, and the gold trophy award. Everyone else who makes it to the semi-finals will also receive an emcee item and a FREE 3-MONTH EXCLUSIVE MEMBERSHIP. Sign-ups will be up from now till the 13th of October.
*IMPORTANT We will only have this if we get 32 sign-ups. From the 13th of October, there will be a 48-hour check-in period which all who sign up must check in. If you do not check in within that period even though you are signed up, you may forfeit your spot and may be replaced on the roster.

First Round Brackets and rules will be up soon as soon as all 32 spots are filled. The remaining spots will be filled on a first come/first served basis.

Why not use the video battle section, as opposed to the text box? @NOBLE

Edit:

As we did add the system to be allowed to post youtube videos for video battles.

32 is a reach though

sign my face/ass up

It would make my life 10x easier as well since it would save me the time of having to edit, compile and upload to YouTube for several different cards. But last I checked, the Video Battle section was glitchy and needed to be fixed. I'll check and see if it's working properly.

Word. If we get at least 16 then we may still hold it but it won't get a blue title unless there's 32 people involved.

Not feeling the beat part, who still battle raps on a beat? but it's whatever..and if we get 32 that'd be dope.
But sign me up anyways i'm in

It doesn't have to be on a beat. You and your opponent can come to an agreement over the format OR...you can just make sure you are the first to post and post acapella. Whoever posts second has to post in the same format as the first person. We're doing it this way because people can never agree on whether to do acapella or beat. Some people feel way more comfortable on a beat. This way, you guys get to choose.

Oh. I didn't realize that the video section was glitchy.

I'm down @NOBLE , Sign me Up

You know what, why not? Sign me up.

there is hardly 32 people active on the site bruh.. lol ... but sign me up lets get it

If we get at least 16, we can still do something. It won't get a blue title cause that's not enough people to merit the equivalent of a GC, but maybe we can have a diss cypher instead. This will be like the Youtube cyphers we've had in the past, except this time you'll know who the other people on your video will be ahead of time and the goal will be to diss all of them on some Royal Rumble shit.

In fact, I think that's what we'll call it: LB Royal Rumble

@NOBLE sign me up. :high:

Put me in there

:eek:


:high:

If we can just get 8 more people to sign up, we'll have a Royal Rumble video battle cypher instead.

Sign me up

I think I should be able to join. Don't put me on the list yet tho i'll let you know by the end of the week

Put me down. I got this.

We only need 6 more to sign up!

I AM IN. SIGN ME UP

I'm good coach put me in

4 more to go...

checking in.

Looks like this'll be a no go....?

Based on what NOBLE told me we'll be doing a Royal Rumble starting with two groups of 6. We're still doing it, just a different format.

Yeah, so then it's no longer a Video Battle tournament... it's just a cypher video. Which is cool an all that. Video Battle Champion though is why i signed up. If it ends up being the cypher shit, i'm out.

Why not, been try to get a video tourney popping' on netcees but to no avail.

Add me, I plan on sticking' around for this.

I'm down if this is still happening

sighn me up noble

We didn't get the required amount of people on time, so I've decided to change the format to a video battle cipher. However, since most of the people who have signed up did so under the assumption that this was going to be a video battle tournament, we will have to post new sign-ups. I'm thinking of slating it for December and posting this sign-ups sometime in November.
