Strong start, I wasn't sure what to expect but I was left pretty impressed how polished everyone seems off rip! I checked out the preliminary cyphers for each Korean and Japanese A, B, C, and D teams that were separate performances they released before EP1 which don't seem to be a part of the actual show besides very short clips they showed here and there during the intro cyphers. Based off those I was most impressed by Yuju, Niko, Hajin, Chaerin, Sea, Sujin, Jiho, Chaehyun, Saaya, Karin, Cocoro, Urara, and Heeyeon. Most of them interestingly enough seem to be lower ranked and not shown much in EP1. I specifically remember Korea's C Team to be the most well rounded in those prelim performance videos so I'm curious to see the rest of them because both A Teams came out swinging HARD this episode. I didn't know Rino was Keita's brother, I like him a lot in Evnne, and she impressed me a lot in the in the cypher intro so I'm glad to see she's very much capable of standing on her own without relying on her brother's reputation and success. I also didn't realize that Seoyoung is YSY, I've heard her featured on some KHH tracks and liked her style. Good to know there is someone else other than Yuju I'm at least a little bit familiar with. I'm way more excited for this show now after this episode, great first impressions all around!

Thrilled to watch that alongside you. Didnt see the first Ep yet and was positively surprised i must say. Much better than i thought it would be. Let's hope it keeps up.
