Supremacy is the head-to-head category. Bringing a good routine isn't enough — you have to answer whoever's in front of you, read the round, flip it. Technique, pressure and the ability to control the crowd — in real time, with no chance to redo it.
DMC SUPREMACY · 1 VS 1
ONE ON ONE
90 SECONDS EACH.
DMC's fastest single-elimination bracket. No beating around the bush: get on stage, answer your opponent. Lose and you're out. Round after round, until only one is left.
How it works

Bracket
Seeding
