I regret voting for Lars

Lars · 03-10-2014, 05:42 PM

lmao why?

I haven't 'tricked' you into voting for me, the verse was dope, I prob just treat topicals more like battles in my approach than some do is all

it doesn't make the verses any less good

Sick · 03-10-2014, 05:44 PM

Lmao

Nah you won, that verse was fire

yeah, the whole mechanics thing, I saw that haha!

KNOW YOUR OPPONENT

I can't stress that enough to those who do this competitively, adapt accordingly, my lines at times in the Vulgar battle were like... half the length of some I'd usually use. It was deliberate as he has a tendency towards cramming so much imagery etc in that his line lengths are hugeeeeeeeeeeeee (in comparison to what I'd like).

Shorter, condensed lines obviously appeal more to the reader against someone like that because it looks like you're excelling in areas your opponent isn't.

No disrespect @Vulgar, just using you as an example.

You take four weeks to write for a live battle?

Lars · 03-11-2014, 03:48 AM

its not just the writing but the prep behind it and memorising 3 rounds of material, i work 45+ hours a week and have a wife/social life

its not like i spend the entire 4 weeks just writing and do nothing else lmao

Nah, I get that. I just would get restless working on one verse (even if only for a few hours a week) for that long.

Lars · 03-11-2014, 04:31 AM

yeah, it is tough, i usually just pull ideas when its first announced then start writing and putting actual verses together in the three weeks leading up to it

i tend to write in a way thats its easy to remember how it comes together for me so thats not so much a problem

i co-organise the events though too so its a lot to bring together at a short time

oats · 03-11-2014, 04:59 AM

I KNEW YOU WERE SCARED

nah good luck with that battle, that's dope.

Des · 03-11-2014, 05:01 AM

props lars, congratulations

Lars · 03-11-2014, 08:41 AM

Lars · 03-11-2014, 08:52 AM

confirmation?

Lars · 03-11-2014, 08:53 AM

i'd prefer a lime green tee with Netcees.co Winter topical Champion on tbh

its prob cheaper than posting me the headphones would be too

Ghost1 · 03-11-2014, 09:30 AM

Ayo....ill have barons 300 hundred dollar headphones since he ont want em

PancakeBrah · 03-11-2014, 09:34 AM

I pm'd the user who offered to give them as the prize. He hasn't posted in awhile but he seemed genuine. I told him you won. I'll keep you updated.

Lars · 03-11-2014, 10:08 AM

lmao its not so much that i dont want them, its just gonna be a bitch to send me out and way too costly

if someone sends me out a medium lime green tee with tourney champ on it, i dont mind the headphones being sent to one of the admins/mods to hold and put up for the winner of the next tourney here

(hopefully an american lol)
