Text Heavyweight Championship Match
Rai Vs Olde English
93% - 7%
The first ever Text Heavyweight battle featured one of the sites best active texters period, and an absolute legend from the golden era. Rai pulled out a very Rai-like verse, long multi sets with smooth punchlines. Maintaining a strong standard throughout the verse to really put the pressure on his opponent. Olde English returned to the text battlefield for the first time in 8 years. And to add to the issues that alone causes, OE has been live battling at a high standard during that hiatus. this meant OE had to shake the rust within his very first battle back. The result was a slightly inconsistant verse that showed signs of his golden era achievements. Longer builds and smaller multi sets also no doubt influenced by his live battling career. OE showed glimpses of his past with one or two nice punchlines, but couldnt compete with the active and effortless Rai. The torch was passed, and Rai deservedly became the first Text Heavyweight Champion of letsbeef.
Rai's BOTB:
I had no idea what league u battled in before, & to think u were the PRIME STAR IS LOONY… "RULE's plainly stated Don't Flop…" So I just assumed "you were the LIFEGUARD ON DUTY!!!!"/

Battle Card
Rican Vs Erupt
37% - 63%
Two of the sites greats met for a clash a long time in the making. Rican began his double duty on this card by making a very brave decision with his verse. Instead of the standard battle format, Rican's verse made mention of everyone Erupt has ever lost to, giving Ricans drop a "this is your life" feel to it. Voters seemed to be torn over whether this was a good idea or not, but the close voting might imply the risk was somewhat worthwhile. Erupt returned to the text arena after a short break and took a few lines to get back in the swing of things. After an average (by his standards) opening 4 or 5 lines Rupt picked up steam and was rocking as he headed towards the verses end. Plenty of good punches and that patented Erupt swagger was enough to push him over the line to victory. This titans clash was also named the battle of the card.
Rican's BOTB:
x2? I got something better, please hold. Don't confuse me for the type to ever GRIEVE SOULS, he wanted action,asking-for a slice then 'Phrac: shunned him twice' & ever since... he's NEVER BEEN ''WHOLE''!/
Erupt's BOTB
Portraying kid as GIFTED n DOPE MANN, i say yall TRIPPIN' w/ THOSE PLANS, I could have "sex in virtual reality" and still never "GET WIT" the "PROGRAM"!!!/
==============================
REZN Vs Celsius
17% - 83%
This battle was a rematch of the Grand Championship final that saw REZN (fka Rant) defeat the veteran Celsius for the sites coveted Grand Champion title. REZN came into this card with momentum after winning battle & verse of the card awards at Hostile Halloween 1, while Celsius was making somewhat of a comeback after a short inactive period. The voting consensus seemed to agree that Cel seems much more motivated than his opponent during this battle, understandable given the Grand Championship result a few years earlier. The battle came down to REZN's longer built punches and Celsius constant hits. In the end the readers sided with Celsius, giving him a big win over his old foe.
REZN's BOTB:
Your writing's trash. You MISSED THE MARK. WELL UNDER. Just a target to point the "chrome at, 'n" when I kill you? On the "low, cuz," the DNA won't match. IT'S AN ART! TELL OTHERS the way you "lie's so-so, man." I'm just here to PICK APART 'CEL'S STRUCTURE!!'(Chromatin, locus, lysosome, cell structure.)
Celsius's BOTB
Wouldn't be the first time he couldn't get Slim! This HERB BE WEIGHING A BUNCH, "held it all back for the challenge - he never came', I HEARD HE'S TAKING IT ROUGH, Cause his rap career was like No Nut November...30 DAYS AND A BUST.
==============================
EtH Vs Rican
58% - 42%
Rican continued his path to redemption with the second of his scheduled 32 line battles on this card, locking up against the sites biggest wildcard EtH. A strong argument can be made for EtH as being the most improved battler of the last few years, creating a style that has become extremely hard to counteract. Mixing personals with humour in a way never really seen before, EtH has become a legitimate text battling heavyweight. Rican dropped the conceptually approach he adopted against Erupt, but did make some alterations it seems to mirror EtH's personal and live battle-esque style. Stepping out of his comfort zone again in a second straight battle was another very brave move by the old veteran but EtH's verse was just too well written to be combated by a similar style of verse. EtH not only picked up the win here, but also edged out Rai to collect the verse of the card award.
EtH's BOTB:
The definition of irony: - He got beat by Jim, was mad and grumpy SAD AND SULKY and why did he lose?...LACK OF MULTIS! He's so bad at cheating, each EXCUSE HE'S GOT'S SHOCKING see he'll reply to this verse rapid just to PROVE HE'S NOT STALLIN!
Rican's BOTB
We know he's REALLY A MOLESTER 'in these streets' & for that, he'll 'get shot in the eye' that's a CHILEAN PROTESTER. Nah, Get cut up first. RICAN'S GRIMM WITH SCISSORS.This is no 'Chrismas carols in Helsinki' but I'll FINNISH HYMN: THIS WINTER/
==============================
O_G Vs The Saxx Baba
70% - 30%
O_G made his Text Heavyweight Championship debut with a quickly written, effortless verse that has become his signature style. Mixing street rhymes with clever nameplay O_G managed to defeat a very game Saxx, who put in another very solid effort, but still ended up with the result going against him. While O_G made a big mark, Saxx also proved even with a loss that he has bags of potential and will be a problem for anyone to face.
O_G's BOTB:
.i hop up wit a tree saw..SPLIT HIS FUCKIN KNOGGIN IN HALF... Think 'potato bag races"..i "GET IT 'JUMPIN' BODY-IN "SAX'!!
The Saxa Baba's BOTB
ensuring that he remains BEATEN AND BRUISED and sees fires (ceasefires) like he repping some BEACON OF TRUCE instead of the LEGION OF DOOM!!
==============================
ColossalMini Vs IIAM
0% - 100%
Colossal and IIAM clashed in the final battle of the card to open. Colossal displaying a very unique style which some voters found hard to judge, while IIAM came out in a more conventional style and offered up enough to see him get the win.
Colossal's BOTB:
My bad if this FOOL was tryna GET FURTHER... They'll find his body in the POOL like a SIMS MURDER, or it's a pool game... Like, If you were tryna break me, then you'll FIND THAT I'M SOLID, so you betta scratch that, on cue, cause I got a FIVE IN MY POCKET
IIAM's BOTB
