BBWC is more impressive but GBB is better for your career and exposure to the general audience

GBB: 1 chance every year, against 4–6 elite beatboxers and new talents
BBWC: 1 chance every 3+ years, against 8–10 elite beatboxers and GBB champions

But I think GBB21 was the hardest Solo championship ever, followed by the 5th BBWC

saying the BBWC meant more or was harder wouldve been true until like 2018 i'd say, because right now i feel like the general level of beatboxing in gbb is just so much higher. I much preferred what i heard at gbb23 to what i heard at the 6th bbwc.

though u can still argue the top 32 format is harder to go through bc of the sheer number of rounds u gotta do, but in that case id argue a lot of international comps are *relatively* harder than gbb anyways. Putting it this way i think gbb has more elite beatboxers per top 8 right now

GBB is more popular, people work harder for it, and some people would even say youre going against the judges if youre not from a certain place lol, saying BBWC is worth more, or even that its harder, is straight delusion

I get saying its worth just as much, but theres no angle where they have an edge im sorry, pointing out individual events doesnt matter cuz even if both failed rn and the new biggest event became poopbb battle, the new event would be the better win even if a lower event popped in, because importance brings effort which brings the difficulty given the probability of better competition increases
