River Rhyme topped the field at just 21% — barely denting a wall of nine other crews still splitting the rest. From day 1 the gap to second never opened past two points, and by the finish Thaitanium and YB were still breathing down its neck at 16.8% and 16.7%. Three names within striking distance, out of ten.
This wasn't domination, it was survival. River Rhyme cleared the entire lower half of the bracket — Chink99, J$R, 93Flow, The Foolest, UDT Boy$, Z4 Records — combined for barely a third of the vote among six options. A plurality win built on a fractured field, not a runaway favorite.
- Winning margin · River Rhyme's 21% beat second place by just over 4 points
- Top 3 bunching · Three crews landed within 4.3 points of each other
- Thailand's pick · 853 Thai votes leaned River Rhyme, the country driving the win
