The Rock Vs. Jordannn
(no comment here)
Gum Vs. Esso
Esso
I appreciate Gum's heart in wanting to battle Macc, and anyone else who's ready for a battle. However, I don't think he's experienced enough to get far in this tournament, or any tournament for that matter. We were all beginners once and had to learn things day by day, and I don't think he's at the point of being a contender, especially if his first stop is a 2-time champion.
QuincY Vs. Anarchist
QuincY
To be honest, I feel this will be closer than people think. No offense to Anarchist but his reputation as a biter precedes him, and it shows in the quality of his bars. Comparing his bars to his bitten verses, he's not as good. Not saying Anarchist is gahbage, but at the same time he's not as good as some of the legends he's bit from in the past. But then again, I haven't seen enough from Quincy to say he's going to be a sure winner.
Malishus Vs. PocketsPoppin
Malishus
I feel Malishus takes this convincingly. His punchlines aren't the hardest, but the concepts behind them are usually very impressive. To me they are at least. And I don't feel PP has been battling enough or keeping up with the circuit enough to just stroll in rusty and beat someone who's been on a streak as of the last few weeks to a month.
Rican Vs. matikK
Rican
Rican takes this convincingly as well. I'll be brutally honest, his bars are tight and everyone knows it, but he also has reputation and prestige in his corner. He's a former one-bar champ, and his rep precedes him. So if his name doesn't get him the W then his bar most likely will. For matikK to pull a W he has to drop a bar that both hits SUPER hard, and conceptually blows our minds. And I don't think we can see that when you take into account that we've seen every "Rican" punch opponents have used in the past.
Efficacy Vs. COFFIN DODGER
Efficacy
I think Eff takes this via no-show on CD's part.
Dean Vs. -Dru-
Undecided
Because although I know Dean is an exceptional battler, I know little-to-nothing about Dru.
Hollywood Macc Vs. -ANONYMOUS-
-ANONYMOUS-
Anon takes this W. Although Macc is a good battler, and drops verses that are decent on a consistent basis, his weakness is his lack to present fresh concepts. He's very good at rhyming and his multies are great, however his ideas are either always played out, or washed up, and I can't remember the last time I was WOWED by one of his lines. And that's what this tournament is about. 1 shot. 1 punch. And Macc is weak in that area. Plus, Anon is a pretty good concept battler, so it'll be interesting to see what he comes up with.

Side note to Row, you may wanna post the 1-Bar Regulation/Limit Box somewhere in this thread so people know how long their bar can be. That way there won't be confusion as to whether someone has used a bar that was too long.
