Yeah honestly I got Rone 2-1.. First and the third. I think Illmac is so good normally that anything less than great just doesn't seem right — Like Water (@JustCaustic) March 14, 2016

Rone is a big favorite in Toronto plus the first round sets the tone of the battle.. Illmac had an uphill battle https://t.co/Ipmt3oBeAm — Like Water (@JustCaustic) March 14, 2016

What did everyone think of Rone vs Illmac? I had illmac taking the last 2 — Yung White Lightning (@CrackDiggy) March 15, 2016

Same, Rone's first was his best, I think illmac took it quite clearly considering he had to win the crowd https://t.co/xARPoLX2UD — BREAKFAST WITH KXVU // CUBCAMTV (@CUBKXVU) March 15, 2016

wow illmac vs rone is so shit lol — Smile :) (@IAMBRU_UK) March 14, 2016

3rd was debatable. Based off crowd reaction I'm not surprised they gave it to Rone on cam I have Illmac 2-1 — Ri se (@BattlinRise) March 14, 2016
