The fan consensus is overwhelmingly in favor of Meraj, who is consistently praised for his complex rhyme schemes, unique style, and a complete performance combining bars and humor. Conversely, fans widely felt that Philos delivered an uncharacteristically weak performance for a tournament final.
In the Pedestal 3 Finals, Meraj delivered a masterclass performance to seize the Motus Battle League championship from Philos.

The sentiment from the culture was clear: this was a dominant showing for the new champ.
