Official Battle Result
F-Don defeated K-Marh 2-1 in the first Season 3 semi-final and secured his place in the final. It was a clash between K-Marh's technical rap ability and F-Don's more direct battle presence, aggression, punchlines, and crowd impact. K-Marh took the third clearly, but F-Don had already built enough of a lead in the first two rounds.
K-Marh delivered a technically impressive performance with dense writing, strong breath control, and polished rhythm. His third round was especially strong and showed why he is so highly rated as a rapper, but his early rounds did not attack F-Don as directly as they needed to in a live battle setting.
Lyrical Themes: Technical rhythm, abstract imagery, layered metaphors, and writing-led battle rap.
F-Don came with a direct battle plan and focused on K-Marh's size, projection, voice, background, and battle suitability. His writing was less technically complex than K-Marh's, but it was clearer, more immediate, and easier for the room to react to live.
Lyrical Themes: Direct disrespect, crowd-readable punches, appearance angles, and stage aggression.
Advanced Flow
Judges praised the technical difficulty of his rhythm and breath control.

Strong Third Round
The final round was widely seen as his best and the round that showed his full ability.
Direct Battle Attack
F-Don aimed his material clearly at K-Marh rather than just rapping around him.
Crowd-Readable Punches
His lines were easier to catch live and easier for judges to score on the spot.
Performance Aggression
He brought the sharper battle energy the room wanted in the first two rounds.
Pen Game
"This pen give me sentences."
A strong double meaning that turns writing into punishment and makes the pen the weapon.
Status
"If you shoot at a king, don't try and miss."
K-Marh positions himself as the king and warns that attacks on him have to land cleanly.
Size Diss
"K-Marh's wet. Luckily, he can fit in a clothes dryer."
F-Don uses 'wet' as weak and follows with a size insult that keeps the joke visual.
Height Angle
"You're like four foot, so I can't expect you to aim higher."
A direct height-based insult that also flips 'aim higher' into a literal and figurative jab.
F-Don moved on to the final after doing enough in the first two rounds. The judges praised K-Marh heavily as a rapper, but the battle showed that technical quality alone is not always enough in Pen Game; the room rewarded direct attack, stage presence, and hard-hitting moments.
