Predictions
by Sharp Nine & Meth
Karaoke v Mets
Sharp: Should be a good battle, haven’t seen Kar have a real battle in awhile. Joe can come with some quality lines, but like we saw last week he can go for a jokier approach that not everyone finds to be too hard-hitting. I remember Karaoke being solid as hell and I doubt he’s rusty at all. I can see this battle coming down to preference in style but I personally think Karaoke can do more damage than Mets as long as he doesn’t fall into the trap of using some overdone fat jokes.
Karaoke: 60/40
-------------------
Meth: There's been a hell of a whole lot going on in discussion lately so Joe can not sleep on Karaoke. Metts been coming with them bangers as usual and slipped by Cashius last round. Karaoke has not had a tough road. I think he's been no showed every round in fact. That's not his fault though, who knows he could have won all of them. I had him as at least the favorite in 2 of them so he might still be here but he also would have had to gone through Hush. Anyway, this could be really cool and probably will be. Metts is always fresh, and Kar is always current. I got Joe with the unanimous decision.
Joe Metts 60/40
Philly v Alvin Karpis
Sharp: Dope matchup. Both guys have been dropping at a quality that could mean winning it all. Both guys just got past some heavy hitters and are clearly capable of solid shit. But going off of last week’s performances, I give Philly a decent edge. Both battles were split decisions but Philly definitely took his more convincingly, while Karp squeaked past Swerve in a close one. Capable of going either way but I see Philly dropping hotter lately.
Philly:60/40
---------------
Meth: Battle of the Round. This will be crazy honestly. Philly ain't lost in a year and I know all of you are probably sick of me saying it but I'm gonna keep saying it until someone fucking beats him. Alvin is the defending Summer Classic Champion and I guarentee he would absolutely love to be the first and only person to ever champion multiple Classics, and also doing it back to back would be that extra little kick. Well, anyway, both battlers slipped by TOUGH competition last round. Phil took down hall of famer and Summer Classic IV runner up God of War, and Alvin took out Swerve the Canadian. Damn this battle's gonna be hot.
Philly 51/49
Beyond vs. Allen Knight
Sharp: Both guys have had pretty easy paths to get here, with Beyond’s biggest opponent being Evolve and AK’s me, both with convincing wins. I’m looking forward to seeing these guys writing for serious competition. Both guys are capable of some bangers but from what I’ve seen from each I give a slight edge to Bey. That said, Allen’s not to be ignored and could pull an upset here.
Beyond: 60/40
---------------
Meth:
Thi should be good shit. Allen beat Sharp Eight last round and Beyond got no showed by Bagatron. Allen has been consistent, as has Beyond of course. A lot of cool lines are gonna come out of this one, Allen been stepping his game up for the SC and Beyond is still fucking Beyond. Should be good, should be close, could go either way and I look forward to reading it. The dice landed on a Snake Eye though.
Beyond 60/40
Dominate vs. Strikta
Sharp: Another solid match that has potential to be crazy., and my personal pick for BOTW. Both guys have some killer wording that can make any bar dope, and while they have had the occasional meh concepts they’ve been pretty consistent lately, Dom managing to edge out nika in a dope battle last week. Strik hasn’t had much as far as competition goes but he’s still been dropping like he has, bringing out a killer verse two weeks ago. This should be the closest of the week imo, definitely looking forward to it but I give the edge to Dominate on more preference - I just personally feel like his hardest hitters can do a lil more damage
Dominate: 55/45
----------------
Meth: This will be the sleeper of dopeness. It seems people forget how dope Strikta comes when he gets his head in the game and out of the chlorex. (This joke will never tire, sorry Strik). Dominate is nothing easy to walk over though, former BA champion and NBL champion. Long bar legend (Maybe? idk, I just know he did long bar so whatever.) Anyway, Strikta won by no show over Orc, and Dom got by the master of consistency ill nik-A. I personally think Strikta wins this, an surprised everyone. But as far as odds go.
Dominate 65/35
