BROKE LESNAR: This verse was everything I look for in a battle verse. There were several very clever lines, but mostly it was mean and very directly personal. You fucked everyone in his family (which was a bit redundant) and brought up his aunt's death and a few other hard-hitting personal details. You obviously dug, but in the past few days I've thought about it, and you were only digging based on what you knew, what Tic Tac had posted about himself. Almost every line worked, though I thought the "suck the peen" line's wording was off and hurt what could have been a harsh blow. I still am not a big fan of your super-short setups and extended punchlines, as the style seems more rigorously stuck to than it needs to be. You could have cut wording in some punches and buffed up some setups and had a better verse. But you've been the best performer in this tournament thus far, and this was your best showing.

Tic Tac: Your improvement round over round is substantial. You obviously knew not to waste anything on your awful last opponent. The opener was great, really well-worded and personal, even if a little bit of the blow was lessened by BROKE LESNAR countering the obvious Bags personals. The "third rail" line was pretty clever. The ebola line was nice and topical. But you had a handful of misses, like the lines referencing The Strain and Maury that were somewhat clever but worded for little impact. Also, you do the same thing as Orc with capitalizing the important words, which isn't how capitalization works. It makes everything feel a bit forced. This was a strong verse, worthy of the quarterfinals. But it wasn't up to your opponent's level of viciousness.

Vote: BROKE LESNAR
