Beyond Doubt 2026: The Judging Drama, The Music & What’s NextThis week we get into Beyond Doubt 2026, the €100K 2v2 all styles battle backed by Snipes and Jordan in Paris. We were out there running the media corner interviews, and now that we’re home, we give our independent take.We break down the format, from the qualifier events and two rounds of prelims to the top 20 knockouts and Sunday’s top 16. We talk about why the DJ setup worked so well, why playing music for no style at all makes for better all styles battles, and how the krumpers made their rounds readable for everyone without diluting them. We also look at how the new arena layout changed the energy in the room, and why every live stream needs to mic the crowd.Then we tackle the controversy. We look at the AND8 voting system, why “tiebreakers” are really just best of three, and the online backlash after Les Twins vs Indigo & Ordinateur battle. We talk about what makes a good judge (hint: not one you agree with), why you can’t judge a battle from YouTube, and the difference between expressing frustration and sending your fanbase after people.We finish with shoutouts to MT Pop and Jean Michel, why three years in is too early to write an event off, and what we’d add to make Beyond Doubt a full festival weekend.This podcast is independent. All opinions are our own.https://www.instagram.com/thecapsule.ldn/https://www.instagram.com/theduke.ldn/
