Not really a fan of this:

"matches will be handpicked by me and a few other anonymous users, instead of the bracket system that knocked out talented rappers way too early in the game"

I feel like that leaves it up to you and "anonymous users" to decide who is and isn't a "talented rapper" and allows you to (even subconsciously) effect the outcome of the tourney.

I think contestants should pair themselves up through challenges/requests like we've done in the past. Or if not, just do so randomly.

Or maybe even a complex system to make sure that no two people who have gotten past a certain point in a past tournament are up against each other in the first round.

Overall, I think there should be complete transparency in how the matchups are selected, and I think nothing should be left to the whim of the host.
