First of all, I would like to say Congratulations to everyone. With your help, every battle received the full number of votes, and we had no one vote battles. This rule will remain in place from now on drop votes in the voting thread. I know that the Magazine has been in a long absence, but I am glad to say I have taken it up because this was just a great week of battling. So let the breakdown's begin.

[Champ] Sureal (5-0) beat Un-Skrypted (out)
Personally, I don't think that you work your way up, keep pestering the mod for a title shot, and once you get it, you no-show? Whatever, props to Sureal for dropping a good piece nonetheless. And props to myself for making a great verse...lol

Mad Man (5-0) beat fgee (4-1)
In what was definently the closest battle of this week. I thought that we both had good drops, and so did everyone else seeing that the battle ended 5-4. Major props to fgee, you were my greatest competition to date.

Ill-Mental (4-1) beat Addlib (3-2)
Ill-Mental had a great verse for Deja Vu, this proved to me, that he still had what it took to be the Topical Champion. Not to take away from Addlibb, who had a good verse too, but their was no doubt in my mine as to the greatness of Ill-Mental's, mad props man.

T-Square (3-1) beat younggadget (0-1)
Well this was a good battle too, despite young taking the X-Rated approach...lol. They both did wonders with the topic: It takes two. Something I wouldn't have ever tried, but they each did a great job, with T taking it in the end.

A2Z (2-4) beat Simile (0-1)
With the topic of sudden death, they each did very similar verses about someone's death, differing not to tremendously. A2Z pulled out a whooping on the kid winning 5-0. Simile, showed some signs of becoming a great writer in this league in the future.

P.O.P. (2-2) beat Xquizit (0-2)
I truly thought that this was a closer battle then the polls made it out to be. Both doing great verses on regret. Tough break for X, coming off a hard loss, and being matched with an opponent who brought her all. P.O.P. you definently will be a competitor in this league, with maybe a title in sight.

Mystik Mind (1-0) beat Redloks (0-1)
The two new entrants into SS matched up for a great battle. The topic killing time was theirs, and Mystik took it up to a higher level. Great props to him, and I look forward to seeing more in the future

LyricAli (4-2) beat R-Rated (2-1)
The first battle that closed, and Ali thought because his record was already updated that he could weasel out of voting on others. lol. A good battle where R-Rated was put in his place. J/P. Great battle, Ali pulled it out, what do you expect though...lol
