Pseudoscience Vs Headphobe
The luck of the draw saw two of the favorites go head to head in the first round. Pseudoscience was coming back with vengence after his defeat in the semi's last time, but couldn't swing the crowd and judges his way. This was a technically impressive round.

Headphobe v. Shinra
|
With Headphobe being in the lime light due to his high profile BBC coverage, the pressure was on for him to retain the crown. A quality first laydown from Headphobe left Shinra to respond and with another production of good quality breaks leaving the crowd seemingly split down the middle. Shinras ability to repeatedly pull out the groovable beats from the bag meant Headphobes crown was lost...Long live the king!
