This was a comedic, low-stakes battle due to the 24-hour preparation time for both rappers. While neither was at their lyrical peak, Oshea's signature brand of anti-humor, self-deprecation, and crowd control resonated more strongly with the audience and online commenters. His funny and memorable lines, even when intentionally 'bad', created more impactful moments than Blizzard's more straightforward approach. The consensus was that Oshea won on entertainment value.

Analysis

In a battle born from necessity, Blizzard stepped in on 24 hours' notice to face Liverpool's own Oshea, resulting in a clash that prioritized pure entertainment over technical polish.
