The KOTD stage played host to a clash of styles as Sketch Menace faced off against Unanymous in a battle that left the fanbase heavily divided. Unanymous, a respected pen, brought a verbose and intricate approach to the podium, delivering multi-layered bars and clever references that, according to many, simply sailed over the heads of a surprisingly subdued audience.

On the flip side, Sketch Menace came with his signature directness, leaning into personal angles and character attacks.
