Siiick.
I liked this battle a lot, probably one of my favorites so far.
Great job to both of you, but If I had to pick...
Id go with Flex, but not by much. This was close, again, awesome job to the both of you.

Some MadFleXing
Gotta say, it was a tough decision to make. Both of them had an amazing flow, and great verses. Putting my vote onto MadFleX though, just liked his disses more. By the way, the beat was amazing Rama.
Hollllyyyyyyyyyy shitttttt!!!!!!! Did yall see the wordplay here???!!!
MadFLeX: "I bet that ain't the last time this man will sample a ding dong"
MR-Maelstrom: "You talkin' out your mad-flexed ass, I bet your fans love that"
Those were fucking haymakers.
Props to both of yall. It's nice seeing a new swag in these battles (MR-Maelstrom), but you gotta go harder than that to beat the champ.

MadFlex V1 - Flow sounds slightly awkward with such a fast beat. "Jay's recording me" is heavy as hell. Animal Crackers diss, okay. Overall strong rhymes but doesn't feel very aggressive.
Maelstrom V1 - Great opener. Name diss is nice. Radio flip is nice. California diss is solid. Seniority flip is somewhat basic but relevant, good finisher.
MadFlex V2 - Starts the verse perfectly, Cynic and ding dong rebuttals are great. Hard to listen to is nice.
Maelstrom V2 - Going public is nice to double down. Disney flip is okay. A bit of filler and a nice closer. Mixing sounds bad with the doubles and flow is somewhat off.
Not Flex's best battle, although he still came hard as expected. This feels very close and evenly matched, moreso than the first few times I listened to this. Maelstrom's first verse was extremely strong, his second not so much. Flex was more consistent but overall didn't have the kind of power I'm used to hearing from him. I really wanted to vote for Maelstrom because of his charisma and how close he fared against the champ, but I would still have to give it to Flex by a nose for stronger rhymes although he had a few overused rhymes as well (surgically, really?)
Flex tore it up in his second real talk
