Judge quotes
Wow. 29 drops. Definite props to both guys here, because this is exactly what folks should be doing in this league. Fun as hell to read.
Diablo had a couple head-scratchers. Each guy also went to the well too often with certain topics.
Hush won because he had less low points. A couple of Diablo’s punches didn’t hit for me at all, and it seemed like he stretched a few too many concepts
Hush won pound for pound here he rarely had a slip up. Lars tried to do a little too much sometimes
What sets them apart the most is how much I loved some of Hush’s ENTIRE retorts
The original Bugs Life and Frodo lines were good on their own, but the fact that Hush flipped them better and continued to do that on a repeated basis really sealed the deal
This started slow with a few early whiffs from both until that first exchange quoted above. I liked Lars' ese/cliffnote opener, I must say. In the end Lars had a few moments where he maybe tried to do too much, or just botched a good concept so badly that it gave Hush enough room to take a decent advantage in the battle. It was closer than I thought it would be when I first read through it, but Lars really did hold his own and it's a shame he decided to sign out as he could've caused some problems for some.
Verdict
All 5 judges thought Lars held his own, but in the end Hush won it convincingly.
5-0 Hush wins
