12 seed Adverse beat you... was it shitty bars or laziness?
The way you got upset in that battle I mistook you for a Barc alias
Pic Finals. NBL. Now dropping after me. Sorry brethren,
But is there any fucking battle where you don't come in second?

[evaD]

Bringing up my history? Ur dead to me. Now I son haters
Cuz I came second with your mother and you appeared about 9 months later

A cum/come flip? You're either retarded or brave
That shits as common in battles as 'and props to our runner up, Dave'

[evaD]

Here’s a relevant line; you also signed up and did no better at the time
Plus you’ve been trying to hit silver since the day she registered on the lime
Let’s change the subject teach, cus fuck me it’s been a while
Your whole life is Half Nelson if Ryan gosling was ugly and a pedophile

Keep DG name out ya mouth. She n I are community pillars
All those second place finishes but I'M on blast for grabbing Silver?
Talking teacher flicks is stupid when you're British, born n bred
Cause your life's Dead Poet's Society. English text getting torn to shreds

[evaD]

You literally just flipped my silver bar but not so fly
What am I battling the text equivalent of “I know you are but what am I?”
And yeah I’ve seen Dead poet society but that won’t pay off my man
I haven’t given out a Carpe Diem since your wife came off the ‘gram

[dull boy]

Consensus

Dave's 'know you are but what am I' line was his highlight of the battle, for
me. Sharp came out of the gate strong with the 'come in second' concept
and somehow managed to run with it throughout the entire, albeit short,
battle while still playing off of Dave. With so few responses the half nelson
couplet that was more of a generic played a major factor in who won and lost.

"Unique match and one I think may set the the tone for things I’m
looking for in a good rebuttal. Dave’s responses were overall more witty, but
Sharp gets the nod in speed of responses and flipping/using the opponents
lines against him."

Verdict

1 judge said Dave wins if this were a normal battle, but given the rebuttal
style that Sharp got his vote. 1 gave a slight edge to Dave, 2 judges thought
Sharp won comfortably and 1 couldn't call it either way.

3-1 Sharp wins
