NYCSPITZ (4-1) vs CopyPat (4-1)
Both of these fools were bounced in Round 1 of the Short-Verse Topical Tournament, so they have something to prove. Also both of these guys are on a roll this season aside from losing to me. They both would love another shot. I'm saying NYCSPITZ comes with something better-built for the format this time.

Defiant (3-1) vs Dominate (2-0)
Dominate has really impressed me with his two verses, and his style fits well within the short-verse format. Defiant has coasted to a 3-1 record. Winner by all means should get a spot in the contender match next week.

timeless (3-2) vs dead man (3-2)
I think dead man is the ideal writer for this format. timeless will need to be very creative.

Witty (3-1) vs Unborn Buddha (3-1)
Witty's Unpredictable, Talented And Naturally Gay.

Dove Dozer (3-1) vs Vulgar (2-2)
I gave them a solider theme. This battle should be great fun. If I recall correctly, they finished first and second in one Write Week, which also had 16-line limits.

zygote (1-1) vs Soulstice (2-2)
Has zygote ever lost twice in a row? I could find no such instance.

Greed (2-3) vs kannon (2-3)
This battle could be pretty interesting if Greed keeps developing.

Three-Planes-Aligned (2-2) vs asylum (1-3)
The rematch probably will play out similarly to the first meeting this season.

Vividlyvague (0-0) vs Atheist (0-0)
Atheist can be pretty damn lazy, so the short-verse format helps him. Vividlyvague's best verses have often been his shorter ones, though.

Zen (0-0) vs Storyteller (0-0)
Rhymes on rhymes on rhymes.
