The overwhelming majority of fan comments indicate that Reverse Live clearly won the battle in the first three rounds, with many calling the decision to go to overtime and ultimately award the win to 9DM a 'robbery'. Fans consistently praised Reverse Live's creativity, humor, and ability to expose 9DM's perceived one-dimensional style, despite 9DM winning the overtime round due to a slip-up from Reverse Live.
The Grind Time Now stage saw a clash of styles as 9DM brought his signature aggressive, shock-value-heavy approach against Reverse Live's more creative, humorous, and strategic lyricism. From the jump, Reverse Live showcased a diverse arsenal, landing clever punchlines and even strategically calling out 9DM's perceived one-dimensionality, a move that resonated deeply with the audience and, for many, deflated 9DM's impact in subsequent rounds. While 9DM delivered his characteristic hard-hitting bars, many fans felt his content became predictable and less impactful as the battle progressed.
Reverse Live, on the other hand, was lauded for his originality and ability to blend aggression with comedic timing, with lines like the '90 Em's' and 'Picture me bowling' schemes becoming instant fan favorites. The battle's trajectory seemed clear to many in attendance and online, with Reverse Live appearing to take the first three rounds decisively. However, the judges' decision to send the battle to an overtime round sparked immediate controversy.
