Predictions
Contender Match: Allen Knight 4-0 vs. Destroyer 3-1
Dope. Both of these guys have been killing it lately and have awesome track records. I honestly think both of them are around the same level so it can definitely go either way, but Allen has been more consistent in the last few weeks, especially coming off of that 16 line battle with Jilti. He gets my slight edge but Destroyer is just as capable of taking this one.
Allen Knight: 55/45
Contender Match King Karaoke 4-0 vs. Orc 3-0
Fuck, if these guys come as hot as they're able it'll break text. Karaoke seems motivated to champ so we're likely to get his best and Orc's been active lately and dropping flames. Should be close and come down to consistency, especially if they go 16 like Karaoke wants. Genuinely can't pick a winner here, just looking forward to this battle.
Too close: 50/50
Amen 3-1 vs. Jilti 3-1
Should be a dope one. The winner here is guaranteed a spot in next week's contender match so I expect both dudes to come at their best. Jilti's strength is good wording on played concepts, while Amen has dope wording on okayish concepts. I think the two have plenty of personal material to use on each other so it'll probably come down to who has better ideas, and jil tends to go for flips that have already been done so I see Amen winning narrowly.
Amen: 60/40
Swerve 2-1 vs. Mercules 2-2
Mercules has been getting a lot more effective and is definitely in a good place after shaking off some rust. Whether or not he can hang with some better battlers remains to be seen, and Swerve is one of the better dudes in the NBL right now. He's been hot and cold with his drops, so if Merc drops some heat he could easily come out with the dub but going off of what I've seen Swerve has an advantage.
Swerve: 65/35
Tic Tac 2-2 vs. Muff 2-2
Looking forward to this. Tic showed last week that he can hang with just about anyone, dropping a verse that gave Orc some solid competition. Muff seems to be on the downswing a lil bit, making his battles close but still losing. He can definitely win this one but going off of what I've seen lately, I got Tic here in a close one.
Tic Tac: 60/40
Cashius 2-0 vs. kami 2-0
Sleeper pick for botw, where the winner will likely see a contender spot. Both guys have been consistent lately, but I think Cashius' verses have more sting to them. Kami doesn't seem to have rust, he just doesn't have the same level of haymaker. If Cash isn't on point this week, kam can definitely kill it with consistency so it should be one to watch. I think Cash will be smart enough here to not sleep and get a win.
Cashius: 65/45
mimic. 1-0 vs. Storyteller 1-1
Should be a good battle, Storyteller is a solid competitor. I haven't seen mimic battle in awhile but I know he does audio and if I remember has some harsh wording. If I'm right I think it could be a close one but if both come correct mimic should have an advantage.
mimic: 60/40
Apeirogon 0-2 vs. Blanco Bishop 1-3
I'm expecting a good battle here tbh, way better than you'd normally get from two guys who are total 1-5. Both have some nice wording but can be iffy with concepts. I think Blanco's got a bit of an advantage, his style can be a bit fresher and he really impressed last week. That said Ape can definitely take this one so I'm expecting a narrow margin for whoever wins.
Blanco Bishop: 55/45
E Tha Real 1-3 vs. Potatosacklegend 0-4
These dudes are both constantly improving and dropping harsher and harsher verses. As of right now though I think E is in better shape, his verse last week was clever and had some bigger hits. PSL is gettign better but E is just better so he should be able to take it, but if he sleeps or drops poorly it could easily be an upset.
E Tha Real: 65/35
timeless. 0-0 vs Sharp Nine 0-0
(by Allen Knight)
I've never read anything battle wise from timeless, i know hes a topical head hes pretty good at that, but he could be pretty decent in the battle world, but idk. Sharp is nice w/ it, he's been improving ever since nc.2, started he's one of the top in wins on the site. Hes pretty clever & can be a big threat to champ.
Winner=Sharp 70/30
