i dont see a robbery here like people saying. of course havikoro is more unique and creative and i love them, but they didnt do well here. They crashed in a few routines as well as individual rounds, as well as the routines they brought were much more simple and less difficult than SM's, and in a big international competition like uk champs, that's why u lose. they would most likely win in a cypher battle, but thats not what this is here. SM came prepared and i give them respect for it.
then you obviously don't appreciate form. Sure there were a few weak rounds from HavikKoro but as an example check beardy man's first throwdown. It's clean, it's fast and the form is great. In comparison there isn't really anyone on Soul Mavs with equivalent form. Their balance is off, their shapes are not consistent and they don't escape from mistakes well. It's a huge difference in this battle. Bendy leg man is probably the worst offender, his form is awful.
HK took it. They DON'T dance like cookie cutter bboys that are bland and generic with weak style. HK's guys are all unique and on point. Keeping the actual rhythm is something lots of bboys just don't do anymore.
Wait, what? Soul Mavericks won this? I don't quite see how, to be honest I'm somewhat disappointed that things haven't seemed to have changed much in the past decade in the UK. The UK wasn't good enough to be finalists back then and they're definitely not right now. Kill the routines (they're mostly awful) and work on your individual skills please. Someone make the bendy leg man gain some strength in his legs so he doesn't flollop about everywhere.
