1-2 Week 2 MAG ft Sharp
WEEK 2: GETTING STARTED WEEK 1 in REVIEW: Despite no shows the league still was decent for the first week of any 1-2 season that hasn't been active in a while. People only really sign up & show when they perceive the league to be actively moving along w/ names in my experience. Also, a few muhfuckers.. (ouch, snitching) won't be let in the league. Anyway, we did get a couple cool battles out of all the b.s.. a few interesting bars to say the least. Most battles were actually sweeps in terms of votes. PS: Apologies once again for the slow mag coming out... previews will be out soon & a Magcast w/ Sharp will also be out so stay tuned! Shouts out to @Incredible for stepping up & doing previews once again. I've decided to do a wrap-up review of week 1 battles instead of each battle. If you haven't heard this Daylyt freestyle... check it out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvAArR14fno BOTW Allen Knight vs Habitat Quote:

Bitch of the week: Ouch Quote:
Power Rankings Resin- Strong showings in tourneys & leagues. Usually champs any league he's in at some point. However, no showing is a risk. He was the champ two seasons ago also ( in which I fucked up a bar of mine lol)... Always fresh & creative w/ it. Look for him to champ this season. Cashius- The Cash man, hate a black man. I kid.. but it's kinda funny he popped up w/ the whole @Flow thing going on the 1-2 Cypher surrounding the racial backlash of his bar. Eh? Idk, Cash has been a threat and has a good track record. I don't think most would be surprised if he champs & defends it multiple times. Dude always knows what works & knows what the voters look for every season. Never a bad bar from the guy even though I think he does better in reg battles. Still a top contender. Blue Bayou- The most accountable & consistent battler there is probably. Always shows & is always moving that pen. I think similar to Destroyer he posts to the perceived skill of his opponent & sometimes cost him a battle or two. Otherwise if he is out for blood & not focused on RB too much he's equally a threat as the two gentleman above. Habitat- Had the arguably best bar last week so deserves a spot here. We get a new one all the time so I think he may be the hungriest here. My only critique is that on NC it wouldn't hurt to vary his concept choice in the future assuming he takes an RB approach. Personals, disc references, humor ( and gunbars) etc all count over here more sometimes or just as well imo.. Flow/Destroyer - Only a week in & after seeing both bars I don't have much to rank these guys as of yet. Honestly, this spot could go to other people tbh Flow gets a nod for the recent drops in the cypher. Des had a fresh cool concept last wk but is yet to check in as of me writing this mag.

Allen Knight - Had BOTW w/ Hab & even though he lost had a pretty creative bar that would have beaten most in the league. Watch as he'll be back up in the ranks. Aero - Had a funny no show bar last week but this week I expect him to bring his A+ game for Blue as it will be a battle. Both seem to be playing a strategic game at this point but all eyes are on it. ALSO: There have been some crazy signups so far.. a few big names signed in & have battles up. More continue to sign in & i'm hoping show & vote. IMO.. it won't be till week 4 or 5 that leagues start to pick up anyway. It takes patience, building & a team. WEEK 2 PREVIEWS: [Sharp] Ayo, this is fucking surreal tbh. Before I get into it, shoutout to Inf for kicking this off and staying on it. I wouldn't shut up last year about the community having the potential to be dope under the right circumstances and I think this could pop off into a solid season. Hope to join you all more consistently soon, but for now... Blue 1-0 vs Aero 1-0 Inf gave us a good one here. I've wanted to see these two battle since a tag match fell through last year. I'm probably one of Aero's bigger fans, tbh. He can really get a lot done with some of the shortest bars out there. At his best, it's quick and lethal, but there's some serious risk of a corny miss. Against Blue, he'll need nothing short of his best. Blue's a HOF member, a vet as old as text itself, but has adapted and improved through the years like no other (and doesn't fucking stop). If he doesn't already have 20 KO punches written for Aer and is just deciding which one he likes the most, I'd be shocked. He tends to be at his best with longer verses that demand consistency, so you can't rule out a haymaker from Aero, but Blue's the kind of guy to find a completely new approach to any angle and he's certainly favored this week. Blue: 65/35 Allen Knight 0-1 vs bleak 0-0 Dope. If both show up, its a possible botw. AK is coming off a loss due to some odd wording choices and you know he wants to set his record straight. bleak goes through some on and off periods of motivation but he's actually pretty creative. Especially recently, bleak's really come into his own style with some really unexpected approaches that work well. With two known characters, a creative personal take could be a game changer. I see Allen being more consistent with his angles, though. If he doesn't do anything too obvious like a fat bar he's the safe bet for sure. Allen Knight: 60/40 Destroyer 1-0 vs Raptor 1-0 Raptor being Inno if I recall? Inno's a funny guy but it doesn't always translate well to text unless he has a personal angle. When he does, he can put together a clever bar. Des, though, can put a decent bar together under any circumstances. He has the occasional miss, but with an opponent who doesn't battle much and plenty of current events, I think he has all he needs. Destroyer: 65/36 Habitat 1-0 vs Flow 1-0 These guys beat me to it. Go check it out. Open for votes Sinacog 0-1 vs slechtn 0-1 Anyone who knows me knows how much I love Sinacog. Text's man of the year 2019 and an early favorite for 2020, he has the most distinct style, bar none. Slecht's name pisses me off, but I don't hold it against him entirely. Based only on last week's bar, I can tell he's been at this awhile, but I would guess takes breaks because there wasn't anything particularly interesting in his bar. Not bad, but basic. He may be able to slide by the 'Cog God on mechanics alone, but if Sinacog put more effort into wordplay than his rhyming and flow, he'd probably win. Sletch: 60/40 Adverse 1-0 vs FGR 1-0 These guys beat me to it. Go check it out. Open for votes theMunster 0-1 vs Plot 0-1 If someone posts anything tomorrow, they win. Double NS: 0/0 Resin MIC 0-0 vs Meth 0-0 Sleeper pick for botw. These guys both have potential to drop a dope bar easily, and Resin especially has proven himself to be top-tier talent very recently. Meth has been active on RB, but I honestly haven't been keeping up with text at all so I don't know how he's been dropping. He's beaten quality texcees (and was a great tag partner... <3) but I can't remember the last time I saw him drop a bar. Regardless, it seems like every time I predicted against Resin he showed me up and then some, so, having learned my lesson, he's got a significant advantage here. Resin: 70/30 Incredible 0-0 vs Ryno 0-0 These guys beat me to it. Go check it out. Open for votes Cashius 0-0 vs I got shine 0-0 Do I really need to explain this one? I got shine: 130/-70 Ahriman 0-1 vs Exis 0-1 I don't know Ahriman. RB guy maybe? Exis will definitely show, which was enough to beat Ahriman last week. That said, Exis doesn't seem to have a battle style just yet so if it comes to votes, it could be close. Exis: 60/40 Da Brayn Lord vs INF I've typed out the phrase 'if Knuck shows' enough for one lifetime to know how it goes. He hit is 2020 quota last week, but I think this battle could've been a funny one. Inf: 70/30 Last edited by Saint; 01-26-2020 at 01:43 AM. |

Great job on the mag fellas, appreciate the mention as well. I know most of you guys have been at this forever and this just comes easily for you. I've been on forums a long time, but i know 1-2 is a whole different animal. If ever any of you older heads have any advice for me hit me with it, I'll happily take in any critique and work at it. I want to be in the conversation with some of you cats who are excellent at your craft, i want to make the power rankings this season. So seriously if y'all got advice let me know
