JM and F-DON met in the PenGame dungeon before the Champions League launch. JM went first. The upload closes with viewers being asked to comment with their winner, but no tally or declared result is preserved. The result below is therefore an independent LOTA review.
JM's first answered the heavyweight booking by saying he meant skill rather than size. He promised to cross opponents from a list, moved into allegations about F-DON and femdom, then called him PenGame's Deebo while comparing his height with a free-throw rim. A home invasion, carpet and family-witnessing-carnage attack followed. JM closed through struggling artists, SMILES on stilts, beds that do not fit quilts, pills, hills and Jill. The round is confident and clean, but several phrases remain difficult to resolve.
F-DON's first had the stronger presence and clearer construction. Ice Cube and Friday led into getting smoky. JM's claimed PASSIVE robbery became being robbed outside; rolling with another side became F-DON choosing homicide. JM was a shrimp, crustacean and someone living in his mother's basement. Passing through F-DON's house became ending in a fast-food box. Wales produced a harpoon, then punches became Ip Man. Daft Punk, a dojo, sensei, Wednesday, Nestlé, MJ and Muay Thai extended a full response. F-DON edges the first.
JM's second openly acknowledged F-DON's size. Wales having no unique DON, being sent out of the blue and Wally imagery preceded allegations of juicing. Rugby socks and ankles too large for Nike socks built the body attack. JM said F-DON looked unwilling to battle, then used Wallace and Gromit, boxing, Muay Thai and Kallaloo. He finished by arguing that size and gym work do not matter against tools. The round has variety but fewer connected opponent-specific passages.
F-DON's second opened with Walter White and leaving JM Breaking Bad. A cigarette setup used ZEN and ANBU, then family, Destiny's Child and survival developed the middle. Precautions and vital organs led into orphaning JM. DRIZZGB, TRAPPY and a dead-man-walking section followed. Wales and a crowd of sheep became the biblical Joseph as shepherd. F-DON then pre-empted the familiar stumble angle by thanking every mention for promotion and asking for something he did not know. Sensei, dojo and Gojo's domain closed a sharper round.
JM's third deliberately shifted into a looser performance. A repeated who's-the-truth refrain named himself the don, then F-DON became the BFG. Money, acting and earning more in a month than F-DON would in a life formed the career attack. JM announced that he was styling rather than prioritising bars, then moved through sheep, dancing, Joseph Myrick, cheese, fake energy and warnings not to drop the microphone. The vibe is confident, but the writing creates less damage than his earlier rounds.
F-DON's third was the battle's decisive round. He framed the entire verse as a funeral service celebrating JM's life after a murder JM caused by challenging him. Meadow, a smile lighting the room and yellow teeth preceded calling JM an average Joe. Joe was so broke that a burgled home would be left empty-handed; being broke in every plane of existence became claiming multiversal credit. Weed, cocaine and lean made Joe a fiend. A GOAT and sheep sequence, Professor Oak, Jobless Moron and Joke Man extended the concept. Multiple crowd-demanded reloads repeated the funeral, but each completed pass reinforced the structure.
LOTA scores F-DON 3-0. He edges the first through the clearer Ice Cube, homicide, crustacean, fast-food, harpoon, Ip Man and dojo writing; takes the second with the stronger Walter White, Destiny's Child, dead-man-walking, sheep, self-aware stumble and Gojo construction; and wins the third decisively through the funeral-service, average-Joe, multiversal-credit, fiend, GOAT, Professor Oak and JM-initials concept.
