The fan consensus is overwhelmingly in favor of Born. While Super Writer's performance was respected, Born's second and third rounds contained two of the most celebrated schemes in Proving Grounds history (the Batman scheme and the number scheme). These moments were considered battle-winners by the vast majority of viewers, securing him a clear victory despite stumbles in the final round.
In what has become a certified Proving Grounds classic, Born and Super Writer delivered a lyrical showdown on the URL rooftop that fans still revisit over a decade later. This battle is largely remembered as a career-defining performance for Born, who came equipped with a pen game that left a lasting mark. His second-round Batman scheme is the stuff of legend, a haymaker that many viewers felt ended the battle on its own.
He followed it up with an equally brilliant, forward-and-backward number scheme in the third that cemented his dominance. Super Writer was far from a pushover, earning widespread respect for his own sharp writing and clever angles, including a memorable synonym/antonym bar.
