Judges:
Poe One (Style Elements USA)
Juse Boogy (Massive Monkees USA)
Taya (Flow-Mo Crew FIN)
Battle concept:
The competition is open for everybody. First everybody will do an elimination battle of two rounds and out of these battles 16 best will be eliminated. Next the first battler is being picked from a hat. He/she can decide who of the 15 competitors he/she wants to battle. The one that he/she picks, will decide how many rounds (from one to eight) the battle will go for. The next battle will go on with the same format, so the next dancer picked after the first battle will have 13 dancer to choose from and so on. Eventually when there’s only two dancers left, the one who decides the rounds will be drawn from the hat. Same goes for the finals. From all the battles judges decide a winner who goes on for the next round of battles. The winner of the final gets a cash price of 1000 euros.
