Johnny Fox (Last Chance qualifier)

Amir (Last Chance runner-up)

Nori (Last Chance Cypher winner)

Both male (Nori) and female (Ayumi) cypher winners were from Japan. 4 members in the final 16 mens bracket from the Ruggeds. 3 b-girls each from Japan and Russia on the women's side.

B-girl roster:

Kastet, Ami, Madmax, San Andrea, Vavi (Last Chance runner-up), Ayumi (Last Chance Cypher winner), Ram, Luma, Yell, Logistx, Paulina, Sidi, Nadia, Carito, Fenny (Last Chance qualifier), Stefani (Last Chance qualifier)

I wanna hear people's thoughts on this. Bgirl winner was Kastet, bboy winner was Shigekix.

Some close battles in both brackets but I thought the judging was mostly reasonable, with the except of Ayane vs Kastet. Even though Ayane repeated a move between two of her rounds I thought she just performed better in every way, I definitely expected her to take the whole thing. On the other hand, in the bboy bracket, Shigekix just seemed unbeatably clean all night.

What did you all think of it? Did you agree with the judging? Curious to hear your thoughts.

Alkolil (Russia)

Kid Karam (United Kingdom)

Killa Kolya (Kazakhstan)

Lil Zoo (Austria)

Pac Pac (France)

Phil/Philip (United States)

Shigekix (Japan)

Vero (Korea)

1. The commentators are awesome! I'm glad they replace Renegade with Crazy Legs! I love the old man!
2. It's damn fun to see Lil Zoo and Alkolil biting battle from Instagram to real life! This is the early final for me.
3. Never seen Shigekix this complete before, I always see him as a little Hong10. But this time he delivered! Props to him!
4. The girls were actually fun to watch, since I don't know all their moves and their energy were awesome! Props to Madmax and Kastet!
5. The calls judges made were pretty fair, I agree with them more than I disagree. For me, Kolya and Pac Pac won, but again, they were close call.
6. why was AT has "no crew"? Is she not in Flow Mo anymore?
7. The MC is a bit new to the scene, I guess? He did pretty well tho.
8. Overall, I'm just thankful to have a RBBC1 to watch during the pandemic, haha. It's been awhile with the online battles.

Peace and Love!

>!Bboy Menno and B-Girl Kastet, who beat Killa Kolya and Ayumi in the finals respectively!!<

History was made multiple times tonight:

• >!Menno is the 1st 3 time BC One Champion!<
• >!Kastet is the 1st BC One Champion from Russia!<
• >!Killa Kolya made it the furthest of any last chance cypher winner in history so far!<
• >!Onel, Monkey King, and Phil were the 1st BC One competitors from Greece, Taiwan, and Canada, respectively!<

Battle results + some mediocre analysis below because I have way too much time on my hands

Finals

B-Boy: >!Menno beast Killa Kolya 3-1; The battle was supposed to be 3 rounds but both of them went 5 rounds because why tf not. I thought menno was gonna win in a landslide but Killa Kolya definitely held his own; the Youtube comments are understandably very mad about the decision lol!<

B-Girl:>! Kastet beat Ayumi 3-1; Ronnie on the livestream said that she showed more vocabulary in her moves, which I agree with that, as she was clean and showed a lot of variety and originality; Ayumi wasn't the cleanest and i felt she also used a lot of her big moves in the semifinals vs Ami!<

Top 16

Bumblebee vs Stripes: >!Bumblebee 4-1 W; Bumblebee pulled out that crazy airflare-2000 combo of his and Stripes kinda gave up in the last round!<

Nori vs Menno: >!Menno 5-0 W; Nori had some slips on his moves and it didn't help that Menno pulled out a whole bunch of signatures!<

Onel vs Heady: >!Onel 5-0 W; Onel's rounds were all solid and high level, while Heady started strong but had multiple big crashes in his last 2 rounds; Heady was one of my favorites tonight to make an upset so when he started crashing i kinda got depressed lol!<

Kazuki Rock vs Phil Wizard:>! Kazuki Rock 5-0 W; 1st 2 rounds were close but in round 3 phil had a big crash and didn't really recover, while kazuki did that crazy vertical split spin move of his that probably secured the dub for him!<

Beetle vs Khalil: >!Beetle 5-0 W; Beetle did a lot of big moves throughout all 3 rounds while Khalil's last 2 rounds were kinda lacking in terms of content!<

Monkey King vs Bart: >!Bart 4-1 W; Both pulled out some crazy ass power that almost made me lose No Nut November, but Bart was more well rounded while Monkey King did really short sets of only did power with literally no footwork or top rock!<

Killa Kolya vs Lil Zoo: >!Killa Kolya 3-2 W; this is definitely the biggest upset of the nig

Brackets

Does anyone know the start time? Line up? Did they have national cyphers as qualifiers this year?

I'm sure I'm not the only who noticed this too while watching the event. They have the flag icons of each competitor next to their name/crew name on screen, all except Monkey King, who just had a blank rectangle next to his. Was wondering if anyone knew what was up with that?
