yeah, the whole mechanics thing, I saw that haha!

KNOW YOUR OPPONENT

I can't stress that enough to those who do this competitively, adapt accordingly, my lines at times in the Vulgar battle were like... half the length of some I'd usually use. It was deliberate as he has a tendency towards cramming so much imagery etc in that his line lengths are hugeeeeeeeeeeeee (in comparison to what I'd like).

Shorter, condensed lines obviously appeal more to the reader against someone like that because it looks like you're excelling in areas your opponent isn't.

No disrespect @Vulgar, just using you as an example.
