Soapbox
Soapbox'll be short, but we've got the league starting up again, and a great bunch of characters in the tournament's Sweet 18...should be a very interesting a dope week...for Omen, this might be his last week for a bit, but we can all hope the army keeps him away from his family for a few more weeks...Tek's been doing a lot of talking recently...who would have though?...i'm looking forward to this week, though....so good luck and keep voting.
First To Go
Three Out Of Four #1 Seeds Eliminated
By ASK
The 1st to go are always the 1st expected to win
Personally, I think im a dead lucky man. I've faced Richard Corey twice in tourneys, and he's no showed twice, meaning ive had advanced by luck twice. But looking at it for another view, no-shows are a damn shame really. This week we had both Richard Corey and Dahloner no show. They were both expected to win their matches, as well as were both number 1 seeds in their bracket. So that's two of the numero Uno's gone. It would have been great to see them show and bring that godly greatness they have (while corey threashed my shitty lil verse I typed up). But this has really shaken up the brackets and left it a lot more open to all. I mean shit, ive fallen off so bad and im the top 4 of my bracket. I can seriously make no judge on who is going to win this tourney; idve had put all my money on Corey till this Sunday. I cant wait to see who makes final 4 now........
......seeing that we also lost a 3rd number one seed. My fellow breathern in modship and a great writer, Mac flow aka Awedidishin. I mean dam this guy is a great writer and has got 4 title behind him and has won so many tourneys its.....ohhhhhh wait, no he hasn't, tourneys really aren't his thing. Harsh that. I don't think its his skill, I think its just he gets damn bad luck or just generally has got in his mind he shall lose. So now its wiiiiiiidddeeee open. 3 of the top ones gone, as well as the fall of another tourney champion, Navara. So who do I see winning, personally id say MC4SIGHT but we've already had enough shake ups suggesting there's gona be a hell of a lot more.
Bring It Back
After A Two Week Hiatus, The League Is Back
By Omen
Welcome Ladies and Gents to the RSTL. Well seems that th e regular league is back into full swing while the Final 18 battle it out in the tourney. As can be expected the league is starting off small with only 30 participants involved this week. However I am sure that as the tourney goes on through out the weeks and people slowly get eliminated, more will sign into the league. None-the-less there is some very good competition signed in this week. TekNeeK making a run for his second title possibly after winning two very tough matches to USER and Infinite Truth. Showing that he still has what it takes to compete with the leagues best. TRAP is back in going against the cocky yet vastly improved Atreyu. Both looking for a shot at the title.. while TRAP has been there before this could be Atreyu's first time. However he has to do something thats not so easy, beat TRAP. But with greats like Edward Lake, Athiest, L Dogg, Dicenyaeye, LiquidLife, and Khoi signed in.. the league seems to still be holding onto some incredible talent. Coming in though are Malosovich, Retulen Reactus, Kaybi, Unavailable, and Lokternal. All of whom pose a serious threat in the league...and at any moment could pull a huge upset over anyone. But newcomers such as Square, John Hensley, 6Ft Deep ( no new comer when it comes to writing very creative verses), and Troublesome, could all cause problems for the higher ranks later. I say watch out for some of these kids because as time goes, there either gonna completely suprise you or go the back route and run. Personally I didn't expect the league to have this many people signed in, not with the tourney still going on and people focusing more on that. Some chose to double up and compete in both, making it so they have to write 2 verses instead of one. Now thats just to much work me, so forget that. Personally I think the league has some incredible matches this week, so I say watch and read them all. And don't forget to vote, because this is the RSTL where great things happen on a daily basis. So G'Luck to all those in the league and to those in the tourney.
