I'm turning this into the predictions thread because why not?

Also, I am not going to vote for anyone who breaks their rule if their opponent abided it. I don't care how much better the violator's verse is. Close isn't cutting it for me this week. I'm sure others will be more lenient, though.

(15 v 37) PancakeBrah v PiE. TASK: Lipogram – No letter G.
This task seems like the easiest aside from not using big words.

(41 v 7) DefyGravity v Objective. TASK: No repetition of any word (longer than 3 letters).
I just read Defy Gravity's verse in Open Mic. This should be the battle of the week.

(36 v 16) Word v dead man. TASK: No suffixes. Specifically no - ion, ing, ed, est.
That's a ridiculously tough Week 2 matchup for Word after an impressive tie against VERITAS.

(3 v 8) Innovator v Pent uP. TASK: Lipogram – No letter R.
This battle is very interesting, but I think Innovator better really bring it with content if he hopes to match Pent's mechanics and all-out skill.

(6 v 12) Storyteller v The Artful Salopian. TASK: No conjunctions.
When they story-battled in the Elements Tournament, I voted for Flo Real. But I think Storyteller will be out for revenge here. With that said, this task is the type where I would guarantee at least one of them fails to follow the rule because it's a really, really difficult rule. So follow the rule, guys!

(19 v 33) Plot v patrown. TASK: No plurals.
I love this task almost as much as I love my own. I really want to see patrown drop a full verse, at least 20 lines.

(39 v 17) Red Glare v MikeWrecka. TASK: No words beginning with the same letter in the same sentence.
Mike Wrecka's take on topics is better than anyone else in this league, but this week doesn't really give him an opportunity to showcase that.

(34 v 4) Pinot Grij v Adonis. TASK: No words longer than 7+ letters. E.g., No 8, 9 , 10 etc letter words.
Pinot doesn't really lean on heavy vocabulary anyway. I do expect Adonis to come fired up, though.

(20 v 10) Mr. J v Boredom. TASK: No variations of “to be.” E.g., No – be, being, been, am, is, isn't, are, aren't, was, wasn't, were, weren't.
Let's show up with actual verses this time, guys.

(28 v 5) Split Eight v NYCSPITZ. TASK: No odd numbered (in terms of letters) words.
This task is ridiculously difficult. I think Split Eight is more likely to put his all into it.
