.: Round 1 Review
1. Phalanx (10-0) vs 16. SecondRobert (0-0)
Shout outs to Second here. Late arrival to the season, but he showed up AND voted. Thats more than can be said for some.
Phalanx advances.
2. Fresh (4-1) vs 15. Mal Diction (2-8)
Fresh pulled of the sweep with a simple but creative wordplay with some personal relevance. Mal's season ends here, but he deserves credit for growth over the season.
Fresh advances.
3. Infamous 1 (4-1) vs 14. Fitzgerald (1-2)
BotW right here. Both had clean punches, and executed nicely. Ultimately Fitz's creative nameflip won the decision, ending what was a really strong run for Infamous1.
Fitzgerald advances.
4. Kill Spree (8-3) vs 13. Knoxville (6-9)
Solid veteran clash here. Knox had a solid jab, but Spree's creative wp was lights out.
Kill Spree advances.
5. Slayerr (8-4) vs 12. King Dee Bee (5-6)
This was a solid match. Closer then the score indicates. In the end, despite being "initially" favored, Slayerr gets upset.
King Dee Bee advances.
7. King (2-1) vs 11. Robocop (7-8)
This was a nice veteran clash. Both drove home their concepts with solid execution. In the end, King pulls off the marquee win and adds some legitimacy to his short run.
King advances
6. Blas (4-2) vs 12. Blue Bayou (7-7)
In perhaps the biggest surprise of the round, Bayou takes a week off from playing league troll, and ends Blas's hotstreak.
Blue Bayou advances.
8. Mac (9-6) vs 9. MV (8-8)
Another solid clash. MV got creative, but some voters took issues with the phonetics. Perhaps accents are to blame? Mac hits double digit wins on the season & sets up a possible revenge story in round 2.
Mac. advances

Closing Out The Year Voting Drive :
Perhaps the glory days of the Front Lines is past. But I am asking you to help me close out the open battles & end the year with a champion. I would love to see a resurgence, but the voting will dictate the viability of that. So I am implementing a voting incentive, that will double the value of votes cast in the month of December. That said, if the interest is there, I will gladly roll out with some mini tournaments and spearhead the points system for contendership. Ultimately, you guys dictate the result. Maybe this will just be a final hoorah. At the very least, I am asking that you help me send it off with the respect it deserves.
