I've seen a lot of great Open Mic writers struggle in topical battles, and the reverse is even more true.

I think you're overgeneralizing open mic. There's plenty of 'topical' type of verses in the forum. It is more freeform I guess but a talented writer is a talented writer. A sub par writer is a sub par writer. Water, when cold, becomes ice in my tumbler.
