Ladies and gentleman, for the first time in nearly two years, King Of The Dot has a new champion.
The close of Day 2's proceedings at "World Domination 5" in Toronto on Aug. 22 saw Pat Stay lose in his fourth title defense to West Coast veteran Illmac in a 3-2 nail-biter of a decision. Judges J-Pro, Soul and Jay Smooth went for Illmac, while Poison Pen and Knamelis sided with Pat.
The now-former champion remained humble about losing the chain after his phenomenal streak.
Major props to @illmaculate. He deserves it. I don't want it to seem like I'm taking anything away from him.

And Illmac showed his new gains to the world on his own feed.
