GWL Mag Week 10:SO FRESH SO CLEAN!!!



Intro:







Gwl Magazine Week 10: So Fresh & So Clean






aight motherfuckers, let's get into it. Last week we had four battles, and it was still like pulling teeth to get votes.




We all gotta try and get those votes in, the longer that takes the longer potentially between weeks and we can lose momentum. That being said, taking the week-long break seemed to do the league some good asthis week we've had some people sign in and shit's getting interesting. We almost had more drama, but fortunately we've all matured in the last fortnight and instead of animosity we've set up arguably the most anticipated battle of the season for next week. If you don't know what the fuck i'm talking about you should probably read the discussion thread or better yet, the entire mag. Also, seems like shit in the real world is starting to open back up, let's hope all you writers make sure not to let your social lives get in the way of this poetry shit, priorities people. Enough jibber jabber, let's get into it.



WEEK 10 PICTURE CHALLENGE: REVIEW


I don't even remember if Inno had a picture posted and none of us participated, or if there wasn't even a picture posted. Either way, didn't happen, so no pic champ this week. Also there's no pic challenge this week so the only accomplishment available is the championship belt itself. Put that work in.




POWER RANKINGS!

big changes to the power rankings from last week... I'm not ranking them 1 to 5, you can all argue about that in the discussion thread. Given the number of newly signed back in writers, I'm arranging these 5 in an order where all could be for 1, and 1 could be for all. We'll see if anyone picks up on the easter egg (maybe Vulgar given his field of study?)


dead man

Notable wins: Adverse, Inno
NS Wins: 2
Record: 4-2

Showing back up to fill in for the vacant champ match, the veteran topical and OM writer of netcees will always be in the power rankings if he's signed in, let's face it.



Universe

Notable wins: dead man, Clutubkc
NS Wins: 1 (Master Rock)
Record: 6-2

Universe seems to have gotten a breath of fresh air and is motivated to return. That's not good for the rest of us, as he's noted for dropping top tier verses week after week. His overarching narrative is finished, but that doesn't mean his winning is.



MMLP

Notable wins: Bodey
NS Wins: None as far as I know (briefly checked the archives)
Record: 3-2

Recently signed back in, MMLP was in the league when it started and has shown he's able to go against anyone. A pupil of the legendary Lars, MMLP loves the complex structures and schemes (couldn't you tell by the moniker). If his pen hasn't gotten lazy, he'll likely stay in here for the remainder of the season.



Adverse

Notable wins: MMLP, Bodey, Vulgar(sub), Johnny 6 feet
NS Wins: 1
Record: 6-3

Hungry for that championship, Ad's been putting the work in. He's got a chance to take it and be a part of the triple-threat match next week, and I'm sure he's got both eyes on both prizes.



Scar

Notable wins: Universe, Inno
NS Wins: none
Record: 4-1

Another former champ jumping back in it, Scar's ready to contend for that triple-threat match next week as well. If he's gotten the same fresh outlook that Universe has come back with, this contender's match is gonna be lit! Another to likely remain in the power rankings for the rest of the season.


Week 9: Reviews
By: ADVERSE





WEEK 10: PREVIEWS!
By: ARTIFCE


MMLP vs. Pharoah's Army



aight, looking forward to this one here... MMLP has been signed out for several weeks, and Pharoah's been facing some tough competition in dead man and back-to-back subs by Vulgar. These two last met up in Week 5 with MMLP taking the victory. If MMLP has any rust, he better shake it off cuz I think Pharoah's coming for blood in this revenge match. Let's see it. Pharaoh 55/45 MMLP




Inno vs. Johnny 6 feet



Coming off his first loss this season in a close contender's match, I see Johnny coming out guns blazing. Inno lost the Champ Match in Week 8 and then took a week off so we'll see where his heads at this week. I think if Inno goes the poetry-route and connects with the readers he'll put up a good fight, but I see Johnny wanting redemption for his loss. Johnny 6 feet 65/35 Inno.





Brokenhal0 vs. Candy vs. Symetrik



broken's coming off a win last week so he's coming in with some momentum. Candy's been signed out for a bit so we'll see how that affects them this week, and I don't think symetrik has been signed in this season (too lazy to check the archives right now). All 3 of these writers can put it down when they want to, but broken's got the edge with his pen sharpened and focused from time spent in the league. Candy and sym better dig deep to keep competitive here, though they're both definitely capable of doing so. Brokenhal0 40/ Candy 30/ symetrick 30




Artifice vs. Activate Self




this one should be a good one. artifice is I think Is hitting his stride and getting into his groove. hes a vet with a dope style that can adjust to any topic given. versatile and always compact with the wording. while SELF is a not know by most but is a beast on with the topicals. he reminds me of universe if im being honest. a prolific writer with a knack for a readers voice. again this one should be a close one. I think am a go with artifice as SELF hasn't been active and might have that rust going lol. art 60/40





Contenders: Universe vs. Scar



damn, so with Lars having to step out for a week, there were some last minute adjustments made, and this week's contenders match sees two former champions trying to regain what was theirs. Both have been signed out the last couple of weeks, but since they've been in the league they've been consistently dropping quality pieces. I expect this one to be no different, and giving Universe the slight edge as I think he wants to prove something signing back in. Universe 60/40 Scar




Interim Champ Match: Adverse vs. dead man



So we've got an interim champ match this week since the current belt-holder couldn't participate. Dead man offered to step in so that Adverse would have an opponent this week, plus that topic pic is pretty damn good. Ad's been dropping heat and he wants that belt. Dead man's the vet and almost always the favourite in a battle, but I think Ad's gonna really come focused this week and deliver a piece that'll be hard to defeat. Adverse 55/45 dead man






OUTRO


so the week had a huge wrench thrown into it but luckily unlike previous issues this one was handled with the grace and poise that's synonymous with unicorn-vomiting poetry people like us. The set of circumstances has led to a first in the GWL with next week having a three-way champ match! That's right ladies and gentleman, next week we'll see the winner of this week's interm and contender's matches duke it out with Lars in a triple-threat match that would make Vince McMahon blush. Fireworks for certain. Let's make this week the suitable build-up it should be and use that momentum to close out the season strong before playoffs. Only two weeks left after this one. Until next time...





UPDATE:UPDATE: It has come to the attention of upper and lower management that @sraL has needed to take an extended leave of absence. We wish him all the best during his hiatus and anticipate his return to the world of topical writing. Insofar as next week goes, we will be reverting back to a standard champ match between the interim champ winner and contender's match winner. Thank you very much.

Dope mag

I’ve been hit pretty hard by my daughters teeth coming through, going back to work, overtime and looking to buy a new (bigger) house. Manpoems aren’t at the forefront of my mind right now, gonna prob take 4-6 weeks out and see where we’re at

[Candy]

You know, Lars... I'm literally going through the same thing right now lol. I have a 3 month old daughter who has just started teething. Look up "gripe water"... does wonders. Grab some baby tylenol too.

From one new dad to another... best of luck.

[ACTIVATE SELF]

This was nice. Wish I had time to drop, but...life happens.

@Art—dope verse.

[Candy]

nice signature @ACTIVATE SELF

[Artifice]

glad you guys enjoyed it... and @Universe here's one I forgot to include...



and @sraL, good luck with all you've got going on. We genuinely look forward to your return, and my message in the intro wasn't aimed at you, that's real ife shit you got going on, not just social life shit.

[Johnny 6 feet]

Luckily for me I have no life to speak of so keeping up with the league should be cake until it's conclusion.

Thanks for doing the mag Art. I appreciate Inno was busy and this is just a great way to start off a new week. Kudos.

[Scar]

@Artifice, i'd like to write an article on top 4 @Sinacog verses of the season for the next installment. @Universe says he will contribute to the article as well.

you've got moxie gents, I like it.

This is the kinds of story that will get our magazine flying off the shelves. Have it on my desk by the end of next week, and we'll get you front page billing.

[Johnny 6 feet]

I feel left out that sinabon hasn't done a diss piece to me yet. Still looking for that titanic match against him. *sigh* A man can dream.
