Sorry gentleman, I will not be able to do the thorough break down this deserves, due to time constraints, but will say I highly enjoyed this battle. Two very different approaches.
Pinot went with the premise of the tournament, a story. And he excels at this quant short stories that are comical and yet capture the essence of the story.

Eng on the other hand, relied on his literary style to give us a more of an imagery driven topical. I also thought Eng's wording was more fluid, it morphed into this elegant manner that was nice to witness, like a dragon tail's ebbing and swaying back and forth but with words, in this rhythmic yet chaotic manner. I don't know if I described my impression well, but that's the impression I received. And like I hinted at, I didn't really pick up on a story here, more so a thematic depiction.

Pinot, on the other hand, told us a tale. A funny one, and in a certain sense that was expected. The story was written as another commentator mentioned in a very idiomatic manner. Therefore it is very relatable and easier to decipher. But in all honesty, the one I enjoyed the most was Eng. Mostly because of the way he weaved his words so seamlessly. There's this alluring quality to it that I find more intriguing.

Vote: Eng
