First Round Predictions

[Meth]

@Neighbor vs. @puravida

Neighbor is the resident swagger and flowerrr Gawd. When he sleeps he snores gun bars with crazy rhyme schemes. Pura is new I think. Or from Letsbeef so that's worse than new. He's gotten better at reg battle slowly, but he doesn't have much of a chance other than no show against Neighbor

@Orc vs. @Kemizt

Orc made the finals of the first version of this tournament, before running into Cashius in the finals (Cashius won 4-1). His regular text battles are usually mini swag and flow battles anyway so he won't have any problem adjusting. Take what I said about Pura and read it again for Kemizt. He's a little more renowned, though. With that said, Orc will take care of this.

@Knux vs. @Mike Wrecka

Apparently Knux won some kind of Swag and Flow tournament or whatever at some point. I don't remember it, but I've been gone for at least 6 months 4 times now. So I'm sure he did and had much swag! Much flow! He also really doesn't like it when i call him Knucklehead 2 so I will do it all the time from here on out. Mike is a topical guy. He made the 1-2 punch finals a couple years ago. That's the extent of my knowledge on him, so even though Knux is rusty he should win this no problem.

@Ricky Manhattan vs. @Chyeahhh!!!

I don't know much about Manhattan but from his showing in the battle arena a few days ago he has #BARz. Chyeah is ok. I've actually enjoyed his last few regular text battle verses. Apparently this is his "specialty" though, so I'm expecting this to be a nice battle. Hopefully Chyeah is right about something for once and posts dope, but I see Manhattan taking this dub.

@Strikta vs. @Cred

I think Strikta's style should have a fluid conversion over to this type of battle if he shows. I've never seen him write through this medium but I believe he will do well. Cred is an ok text battler. He apparently bit from Amen though so there's that. Never seen him write in this style either so based on pure text battling skills, Strikta gets the nod.

@Bags vs. @Infiltration

I don't remember reading any swag and flow battles from Bags but since he has champed every league we've ever had I'll just assume he probably does it at a high level. Infiltration is a vet that I don't remember I think? Idk. His verse against Knux in round 2 of the fall brawl was solid and that's really all I have to go off from him so I have no choice but to lean Bags
@Destroyer vs. @Seyance

Destro da Gawd is cool with it if I remember correctly. Not crazy or anything but pretty good. Seyance is a good writer, although I don't remember ever reading anything from him at all on NC 2. I don't step in the OM ever though so I don't know. He's probably good at this too. With the knowledge I have, I'll take Destroyer in the closest battle of the round.

@Knucklehead vs. @PancakeBrah

Knuck is another guy I don't remember reading S&Fs from, but he's a good enough text battler where I give him the benefit of the doubt and say he's probably good at it. Cake man is real good at these in his own right iirc. He's a topical guy at heart so he's nice wit da rhymes by default. I got PancakeBrah in a nice battle.
