Is Diz still top tier?
cuz that's 3 losses in a row now, all from this year alone.
normally a top tier battler loses that status after a losing streak like this, i.e charlie clips etc.

Yes, Diz is one of the most popular battlers in the world and losses have nothing to do with being top tier. Hitman Holla lost rounds 2 & 3 for a long time and is considered one of the greats.

what he said, + like it or not most internationally recognised US battler (by résumé +)
also Charlie lost status cos he didn't try and spread himself thin with too many battles - that pisses people off after a while, Diz always tries, tries and sometimes melts down, but he never half-arses it apart from those weird battles (Tay Roc sounds one) where he's overly respectful

depends what u mean by top tier
diz gets views for reasons other than his battling, so no he is not a top tier battler but he has a top tier name in battling. he'll still get booked against big names, but he'll also still suck
like dna has 30 billion views but hes probably bottom 3 active battlers right now and anyone lying to themselves saying he's top tier needs to chill. same goes for diz

Exactly.
Performance wise? Not even close.
Tricking companies and hyping himself up? Sure.
He's top tier I suppose to some, but he's not a REAL top tier in terms of talent/performance.
He's kind of like the company that got in while the 'gettin was good' so now he's kind of stuck here forever.

Eh, he's still a top name that can be booked as the main event on any card in the world. I think he's transcended wins or losses affecting whether or not leagues book him.

You know what he meant and anyway he wasn't booked as the main or even co-main event, even if his battle ended up happening last.

What was the main event for NOME 3, Hollow/Surf or Hitman/Con?

Diz will NEVER be accepted by the majority of "urban" battle rap Fans.
Without KOTD his relevancy in North American battle Culture will decrease dramatically.

Yeah I'd say so since those were the biggest battles on the card, I think Hollow/Surf was probably the top of the card since it was Hollow's return but then I guess everything is the main event on the night of main events.

Losses don't even really matter as far as top tier. If we were judging off skill, Diz would never have been top tier.
He just battled Tay Roc as the headlining battle on URL after battling on the headlining battle of the only KOTD World Domination event that counted, which indicates he is definitely still top tier.

It looks like Hollow/Surf was indeed the battle advertised at the top of the flyer, I stand corrected.

I'm not a huge fan of diz (apart from Solomon battle he hasn't been super interesting recently) but to suggest he's not top tier is crazy.
His attitude may be dogshit and his performance subjectively sucks balls, but neither currently are affecting his stature.
The bottom line is, Diz would headline any card he's on and it's been that way for awhile (excl. surprise battle).... that's top tier. When/if that stops, he will no longer be considered top tier.
If there's justice in the world, he'll stop getting battles in NA because of all the reasons people have said, take some battles internationally for awhile but his "brand" fizzles a bit without North American opponents. He strikes out on acting and, ahem, his "music" career. Then tries to get back into the North American scene but no one is interested, so he starts battling on lower tier leagues for a fraction of the price he would get booked for in his hay day. Eventually after he's battled Bonnie Godiva on QOTR for an Egg McMuffin and bus fair, KOTD will decide to give him another shot battling in the Grande Prix 2038 against Nunn Nunn's sweater, and JUST LIKE THAT he'll no longer be top tier.
...the aforementioned will never happen.

Diz's only value nowadays is as a marketing stunt. As a marketing stunt, he is top tier, yes. You do not need to have a great win rate to be "top tier" by any means, but popularity is only one metric for top tier status and Diz isn't well-rounded enough to be considered top-tier.
Does Diz belong in the hall of fame? Yes. But "top tier" is a fluid construct based on current competitiveness as well as current performance level, popularity is necessary to be top tier but not enough on its own

When was he ever top tier talent wise? Has he EVER had 3 rounds of fire for a single battle? I don't recall that happening once (correct me if I'm wrong though).
The lasting impression of Dizaster for me is that he gets opportunities that he probably wouldn't get if he wasn't friends with the higher ups, prefers unlimited time because he assumes bullshit freestyle quantity > exceptional writing quality, and thinks higher of himself than any of his super fans ever possibly could.
Also, If wins/losses don't matter, why is this still referred to as battle rap? Competitions usually have an outcome. Why are battlers so scared to be told they lost? Participation trophies should be handed out at the end of the night at events. Shit's corny.

Nah... not as far as skill goes at least
It was awkward as hell when he was saying those punchlines then waiting for the crowd like he just spit the craziest shit ever...
He looked like he didnt belong on that stage tbh.... so imma say NO.

It's not about great. Adam Sandler is (or at least, used to be) an A-List actor. Diz can easily be top tier and still deserve razzies for worst battler alive.

If 'top tier' means more widely known as opposed to more consistent in performance
Then it's nothing to discuss

Huh. Then it 100% depends on the metric.
He is absolutely, without question NOT top tier (unless you're PityPoster) in terms of skill and presentation.
If the metric is how many idiots support him through his mental illness? Absolutely inarguably top tier. That's NOT a good thing.
IF Diz is to be considered top tier its because he's ipso facto a shit battler but a good promotion tool. Like Kevin James. Absolutely no respect from anyone who actually understands acting but massive amounts of popularity - i can't call him top tier personally.
Sandler a bad example - he's actually an incredibly good actor when hes not pandering. (Punch Drunk Love for instance).

^and what is he going to headline in the future?
Events on creative leagues in Europe and the Middle East.
People dont want to see him on URL and he burned bridges with KOTD.
And it is not like he was booked by that many Different leagues in NA like Bullpen, RBE or UDubb.
He fucked himself the fuck up.

Diz has cemented his legacy, but I'm afraid he may have peaked.... Personally, I no longer get excited when he's announced for battles. But it's probably because I have trouble separating his personality IRL from his persona on stage, although they are both very cringeworthy to me.
But, at this stage in his career, he's definitely solidified himself as one of the greats. I don't know what's left for him though... He seems to be finished with KOTD. I'm guessing he was banking on a strong performance on the URL stage to give him more of a push on that platform but he lost, and was also kinda delusional if he thought that in the first place.

I guess he will be until KOTD can find someone other than him or Pat Stay to be their main event.
I guess Dizaster has done a good job of building his image and his character and all the shit talking he does online which builds hype for his battles. So yeah I suppose he markets himself well. His image and KOTD using him as their default for main event battles are the only things making him "top tier".
Dizaster is like the Shannon Briggs of battle rap. He ain't that good, but he markets himself well.
