The closing day of KOTD mega-events is typically the laid-back after-party with a few GZ battles and a freestyle tournament thrown in, and Day 3 of "World Domination 5" was no different.
Despite the late start, Day 3 was a perfect wind down to a successful weekend, with a ton of battlers in the building.
Here are some shots and IG clips from the event:
GZ Battles
The Day 3 card featured several international GZ match-ups, with the standout being B.C. battler Illipsis' third round dissection of religion against Christian opponent Isaac Knox in the battle of the night.

Freestyle Tournament
You don't volunteer for a KOTD Day 3 freestyle tournament, you get volunteered. If your name gets called you stumble your way to the pit and do your best. This has led to a long history of KOTD staff members and non-battlers taking on some of the scene's best freestylers. For this event, match-ups included Real Deal vs. (KOTD VanCity staff) Willie B, Head I.C.E vs. Mista Conspiracy, The Saurus vs. Avi Rex, Dirtbag Dan vs. Stacee Brizzle, Tycoon Tax vs. (KOTD cameraman) Joe Cash, Dizaster vs. (KOTD accountant) Sandeep, and Dumbfoundead vs. me (Battle Rap Chris).
