    Lol maaaan I feel like Bag didn’t try too hard or something. Phal just more creative and witty with his I think. I liked the TSA flip a lot. Good shit.

    I like the TSA flip very solid punch executed nicely.
    Bags was slightly idk felt lack luster felt like it’s missing some sting.
    Or could be wording either or

    TSA inspection from inspection from phalanx was a banger, there’s nothing I didn’t like about the bar. Good shit

    Bags definitely gave us a throwaway here with the mag prediction reference lol

    Re: Week 3: Phalanx (3-0) vs. Bag Mandela (3-0) - OPEN FOR VOTES

    Phalanx got this easy. However, I will say this. For me this was an obvious nameflip. I don't know if Bag Mandela is an alias, but I know another dude named Bags and went several years watching his name get flipped in all sorts of different ways.

    But let's forget that for a second. Let's just look at how simple of a nameflip it was for somebody named Bag. I mean, there really wasn't any imagination. Nothing too elaborate. Just. His name is Bag. Let me do something about a Bag. It was just too straightforward. I would have preferred a more layered approach if the emphasis was on flipping his name. Couple it with a personal. Be imaginative. Use a misdirect.

    I suggest in the future that, when paired with an opponent who's name is rather easy to flip. Go for a multitude of things or just lose the idea of a nameflip all together. In this situation I would have opted for a wordplay instead. I know the temptation to use a simple nameflip is pretty big. But you when you opt for the simple way, you kind of dumb your creativity down and the end result can turn out to be, well. Simple.

    This is Wuxia and I've enjoyed the time spent on breaking down your battle. Thanks for the opportunity. Hopefully we'll get a chance to mingle in the future. Good day to the both of you. I would also like to thank Zunto for his contribution in setting this battle up and Stranger for his administrative presence behind the scenes. God Bless.

    Bag wasn’t that bad to me. It just wasn’t super impactful.

    Phal was nice from set up to finish. Cool attack line

    I did that Bags nameplay on a different site a longtime ago.. but great wording and delivery

    Bag had a very dated mag concept
