Official Battle Result
F-Don defeated I Cured Amsterdam in the second Group D battle after the judges unanimously favoured him. The clash centred on style contrast: I Cured Amsterdam brought a strange masked character performance, while F-Don delivered clearer flow, better beat control, and more judge-friendly directness.
I Cured Amsterdam was the wildcard. The mask created immediate intrigue and his writing leaned into surreal imagery, crude humour, wrestling references, and oddball character work, but the performance felt scattered and difficult to follow.
