Born out of Nur Ein II, the WSA take Nur Ein III!!!

The final score: WSA- 35, Paco del Stinko- 23, Ross Durand- 22, Ken Mahru- 20

The WSA's road to victory started off modestly as they came in seventh place in the Sleepwalking round, followed by a 6th place finish in Unnatural Disaster. The international quartet then made their presence felt by dominating the Blitz. From the highs of victory to the narrow edge of defeat, the WSA returned in the fifth round- Whale and only narrowly escaped elimination. Then came the wildest semi-final in Nur Ein history, Brain Trust which led to the 4 band finale. And when the dust settled, it was Glennny, Frisbee, Furrypedro and Melvin coming out on top, winning the Man of the Hour fight in strong finish and becoming the winners of the 2008 Nur Ein! Glückwünsche!!!!!!

It was a very close battle but in the end, Puce defeated FBF to win the Nur Ein!

The final score: Puce- 26, FBF- 25.

Puce started off the Nur Ein very strong with a victory in the Sister Cocaine fight. Then in the 3rd round, State of Emergency, wowed everything with a dynamic collaboration with Songfight legend Brad Sucks and won that round as well. Then in the 5th round, The Thing Most Easily Forgotten, Puce almost faced elimination but he narrowly beat out his Mostly Harmless bandmate Plat by 1 point to stay in the competition. Puce returned to form in the sixth round, winning the Last Hope battle. In the final battle, Heart of a Lion, the voting was close. But Puce came out victorious by a single vote. And now, he reigns supreme as the last one standing, winner of the 2007 Nur Ein!!!! Glückwünsche!!!!!!
