Besides the two semi finals, does anyone know if any other battles will be on tomorrow?

KOTD signed a deal with Twitch for Grand Prix Tournament





Caffeine shoulda seen it coming. They still want to one up Twitch but it's a tough hill to climb. Yeah Caffeine has Drake on there but Twitch just scooped up Logic and in comparison....Logic seems to be more active on Twitch than Drake is on Caffeine. And also, Caffeine hasn't really shown they can hang with the craze of DJs streaming and now, you can stream movies I think your Hulu account on Twitch. Caffeine got SMACK URL and locked the talent from battle rap and the commentators/bloggers. Not sure how long the bag will be there for SMACK URL in the upcoming years but this will be interesting.

We have to wait and see if it’s an official deal. If Twitch isn’t paying them, then this isn’t what the Caffeine deal is. And it’s only for one tourney. URL and Caffeine is a whole contract.

Even that aside with the ins and outs of battle rap, Twitch is technically still ahead overall. However, you are right...KOTD could be playing the game like they have a deal with Twitch and its not stated that its legit. So there is that. But still everyone is damn near on Twitch now is the point I'm making. Caffeine is still competing with them at the end of the day.

If KOTD brings in some dope new talent its wrap. SMACK got all this new talent but he's forestalling their greatness with this app shyt. Made it worse by selling his beard to Caffine.
