^^^This. DNA beat Chilla (:mjlol:) and Hollow is trash. Wow. You're welcome to your opinion, but wow.

Also, Prep should just forfeit his first round if he loses the coin toss from now on. Bring 2 rounds of material and focus on rebuttals. And like has been said multiple times, stop pausing and talking to the crowd.

Hollow isn't trash, but his placement as elite (always mentioned with Lux) seems a little bit of a reach. Seems like going to jail, coming home and battling Lux, and not battling very often caused folks to elevate him higher than his actual showings have warranted. To me, he's a creative dude who can always bring one outstanding round per battle (the other two vary, though there's always a considerably weak round). Top tier, fine, whatever. Legend? no. Just extremely well marketed and patient.

Hollow got talent, but the problem is, he has a corny "Grindtime" aura around him, that he's never been able to completely shake off. Hence he'll do good in parts but then resort to stupid shyt like shoving a glass bottle up Charlie Clips grandmas ass :scust:, or screaming "I HATE YOU LUX" mid battle
This. :wow:

This is how I feel about Hollow too.

Calling him trash though... No. Just no.

Kinda what gets me about DNA & K-Shine talking about they're the best 2 on 2 team.


Aside from Marv Won and Quest, I'd say Illmaculate and Thesaurus.
