THE 2018 BASIC TEXT
TOURNAMENT HOSTED BY:
NOBLE
Ladies and gentlefaggots (jk), welcome to the premier annual event at LetsBeef.Com hosted by yours truly, the Noble Sun God.
I had to dust off the old green jacket to host this event, the first one I'm hosting in almost 3 years. The tournament is well underway as we've just completed Round 1. So far, it's been an exciting spectacle and a few people have caught body bags. Rest assured, there are still more to come. As the weaklings and troll verse posters get weeded off, things are only beginning to heat up. I'm giving you this magazine as a way to chronicle and capture the moment for the proverbial LetsBeef posterity, so that future generations may look upon this thread as a time capsule of that shining moment when we crown our 2018 Text Grand Champion. I'll be bringing you interviews, recaps, predictions, and highlights from every round. So without further delay, let's get to it!

I sat down (in the virtual sense) with a few of the combatants to find out what's going through their minds as they strive to attain that most coveted title, and we touched on a few highlights from the previous round. Read along as I interview Fidel Z, Jimmy Hoffa, and Row.

The Round 1 BATTLE OF THE ROUND award goes to...
Nicholas vs. EZ Boi
Make sure you read over that if you haven't had the chance. You might learn a thing or two
<img src="http://i65.tinypic.com/54suus.gif" border="0" alt="Predictions">
I asked Jimmy Hoffa if he'd be willing to provide some insight and predictions for Round 2. Here's what he had to say.
Quote:
Originally Posted by Jimmy Hoffa
Louie Dawgs vs Bape: I would have to give the edge to Bape here. I've seen a lot more of what he's done recently compared to Louie Dawgs and his styles matches up very well in comparison to what I've seen from Louie in the past. Bape is more centered around throwing punches and Louie likes his verse to flow more and has the longer-winded punches with longer setups. I'm not saying that Louie won't take it, I'm just saying I would put my money on Bape.
Jimmy Hoffa vs OH MY GOD: Good luck, fam.
Lil alzie vs Xwizit: I would have to give this one to Xwizit by a favorable margin. alzie is a battler with a good amount of potential and he's done a good job elevating under Row's tutelage, but I think that Xwizit is starting to really hit his stride as of late and he's a true dark-horse for a GC title. Will be a good match nonetheless.
Rai vs Row: This is tied for my Battle of the Round pick along with Shodan vs EZ Boi (more on that later), but I would have to predict that Row wins this one here. Rai is extremely close to taking the next step needed for a GC title run, and a win over Row would solidify that. However, Row has been battle-tested and has proved himself in multiple tourneys and is a very solid battler. Will be interesting to see who comes out on top here.
Bleu vs Fidel Z: So I think Fidel Z comes in to this knowing he's the underdog here, but knowing him, he relishes the challenge. I think Fidel will come in to this with his best material to date and will give it all he has. I do think that Bleu might be too much for him here, as he has proven to be when it comes to a lot of the battles he's been in.
Bnas vs Aggo: Interesting matchup here. You have Bnas who isn't exactly known for longer length battles, but he has the potential to shock some people if he takes his time and comes correct with his content, and then you have Aggo on the flipside, who has really flipped the switch as of late, combining humor with really solid punchlines. He's a dangerous matchup to anyone, and he's another GC dark-horse much like Xwizit. If I were a betting man, I'd place it all on Aggo here.
EZ Boi vs Shodan: The other potential battle of the round. You have EZ Boi, who is coming off of an impressive 1st Round victory of Nicholas, against Shodan, the current LBT Champion. Both seem to be centered around building up to creative punchlines, but both have very different styles when it comes to that, as well. This is a battle that I think will come with a very small margin of victory, but I will edge it the way of Shodan because of the current roll that he's been on, to go with his elevation in the past few months.
Apache Curfew vs ILLicitt: Strange battle here, as both have been very much under the radar since the beginning of the GC. Apache was no-showed in his 1st Round by Lizman (we all thank Lizman for that), and ILLicitt had what was a less than stellar performance in his 1st Round battle with MC KG. Apache seems to focus on building up to his punchlines, yet I would say he hasn't hit a creative stride yet to make his punches really have an "Oomph" effect, whereas ILLicitt seems focused on longer multi sets and with long builds to the punch, yet his issue lies in the fact that his setups don't always justify his ending punchline. Both have their flaws about their styles, yet I think both will come to this battle better than ever. My edge here would go to Apache based on how he's able to relate his setups to his final punch consistently better than what ILLicitt has been able to.

Do you agree with his assessments? What are YOUR predictions? Feel free to sound off below. Well, folks, that's all for now. I wanted to include a lot more in this but just don't have the time. You'll just have to stay tuned for more episodes of the LetsBeef GC Magazine to see what's in store. Make sure you vote on all the battles. Good luck to everyone that is still in it and everyone that has participated thus far. Peace!

Bleu vs Fidel Z: So I think Fidel Z comes in to this knowing he's the underdog here, but knowing him, he relishes the challenge. I think Fidel will come in to this with his best material to date and will give it all he has. I do think that Bleu might be too much for him here, as he has proven to be when it comes to a lot of the battles he's been in.
Bnas vs Aggo: Interesting matchup here. You have Bnas who isn't exactly known for longer length battles, but he has the potential to shock some people if he takes his time and comes correct with his content, and then you have Aggo on the flipside, who has really flipped the switch as of late, combining humor with really solid punchlines. He's a dangerous matchup to anyone, and he's another GC dark-horse much like Xwizit. If I were a betting man, I'd place it all on Aggo here.
EZ Boi vs Shodan: The other potential battle of the round. You have EZ Boi, who is coming off of an impressive 1st Round victory of Nicholas, against Shodan, the current LBT Champion. Both seem to be centered around building up to creative punchlines, but both have very different styles when it comes to that, as well. This is a battle that I think will come with a very small margin of victory, but I will edge it the way of Shodan because of the current roll that he's been on, to go with his elevation in the past few months.
Apache Curfew vs ILLicitt: Strange battle here, as both have been very much under the radar since the beginning of the GC. Apache was no-showed in his 1st Round by Lizman (we all thank Lizman for that), and ILLicitt had what was a less than stellar performance in his 1st Round battle with MC KG. Apache seems to focus on building up to his punchlines, yet I would say he hasn't hit a creative stride yet to make his punches really have an "Oomph" effect, whereas ILLicitt seems focused on longer multi sets and with long builds to the punch, yet his issue lies in the fact that his setups don't always justify his ending punchline. Both have their flaws about their styles, yet I think both will come to this battle better than ever. My edge here would go to Apache based on how he's able to relate his setups to his final punch consistently better than what ILLicitt has been able to.

Do you agree with his assessments? What are YOUR predictions? Feel free to sound off below. Well, folks, that's all for now. I wanted to include a lot more in this but just don't have the time. You'll just have to stay tuned for more episodes of the LetsBeef GC Magazine to see what's in store. Make sure you vote on all the battles. Good luck to everyone that is still in it and everyone that has participated thus far. Peace!

Official Betting Recommendations of the Shodan Bookmaking Corporation (all predictions assume no no-shows):
Louie Dawgs vs Bape: Bape has been coming up in the world of LB recently. I don't know Louie Dawgs too well, but if he comes like he did against BKC|Kalamite, I can't say I expect him to win. But then again, maybe Louie came much lighter than he could have because he knew that BKC would be an easy win. 2.5:1
Jimmy Hoffa vs OH MY GOD: Not gonna sway on an open battle. GLHF
Lil alzie vs Xwizit: Jimmy Hoffa gave some credit to Lil alzie in his predictions, along with Bnas. I appreciate his attempt to be positive and professional, but realistically, the only way Lil alzie can win this is if Xwizit no-shows. Xwizit is just many tiers above Lil alzie. 50:1
Rai vs Row: Probably BOTR other than my own, and likely to be very close. I'm leaning ever so slightly towards Row, but Rai could just as well win. 2.1:1
Bleu vs Fidel Z: This isn't an absolutely certain closed casket, unlike Lil alzie vs Xwizit and Bnas vs Aggo. With that said, if both show, I don't think anyone will put up the argument that Fidel Z is at all likely to win. Bleu is a multi-titled super-heavyweight widely considered the best on LB, whereas Fidel Z is a lower-middleweight. 20:1
Bnas vs Aggo: Again, Jimmy Hoffa tried to be positive and professional about his prediction for this battle, but realistically, we all know that the only way Bnas can get past this round is if Aggo is carted off to a concentration camp. Otherwise, 100-0 Aggo. 1000:1
EZ Boi vs Shodan: Obvious 100-0. ∞:1
Apache Curfew vs ILLicitt: I don't know ILLicitt too well, but if his verse in this battle is about as good as his first round verse, it will be better than anything I've ever seen Apache Curfew come out with. So, another likely clear body, albeit not as much so as Lil alzie vs Xwizit or Bnas vs Aggo. 8:1

OhAll night long, the sound of trains.
Yesterday they took my brother.
The question is not "if they will return?" but "when".
