Watching Ars/Roc all the way through for the first time. This was a much better battle than I thought it would be

Pg's are showcase battles and part of the overall product. If they were simply just "try out battles" and nothing more, the url would just put them all out. A large chunk of the battles have not come out, because they weren't up to standard.

These showcase battles are a cheap way to get content because they don't have to pay these guys. They also usually film a large volume of these battles and select what they feel are the best ones. How is this not part of their product?

A lot of these battlers they recruit already have footage out there, so during the matchmaking process for their first pg, the recruiter should have an idea in their head if this would be a good battle. Therefore, why shouldn't i expect a solid of battle?

Because all you're doing is giving them a click. It's not any more complicated than that. You're asking for alot for your clicks, and we know them nyggas aren't going to cater to the "click & comment" fans. If they were to create subscription based video model then they probably wouldn't toss PGs out so sloppily.

Californ-i-a by way of BK
Really good interview. Sounds like he's really gonna battle JC at some point

Didn't seem to hype about a Goodz battle though. Said the style clash would be too weird

Also said nobody fukking with him in a small room
Listening to psa. Lux didn't like his performance against Arsonal. Said he had too much going on.

He said he would love to battle Verb, but he has to give us something. He was hoping he would do well in the top/brizz battle. Verb just needs to gain some momentum, maybe win a couple of battles in a row.

I can't understand all the crying Verb is doing. 3 good performances in a row can damn near erase the last 3 years for him.

Lux is really out here listening to feedback, that can't be good for his next opponent.

Lux was literally like he has to give him something to work with. How about Verb demands JC, and actually win the battle?

It's obvious winning even 2 battles in a row is a tough task for Verb.

As much shyt as I give him Ars DID turn it up against truly elite competition the last couple of years - Lux, Roc, Solomon, Ice, he showed out against all of them IMO (based on his own standards of course). :yeshrug:
