Gonna write down thoughts and reactions to this year's Creator Clash as I watch it, then post once it's done!
Very first thing is I'm wondering where SuperMega's national anthem is. Give me my boys! I'm actually Mutuals with Ryan's mom on Twitter, I DM'ed her after the first Creator Clash to see how she was doing after watching her son's fight. She's a real sweet lady.
Fight 1: Jack Manifold vs. Dakota Olave
Only fighter I am familiar with in this one is Manifold. First thoughts in reaction to the stats were that Manifold seemed to have the advantage in terms of height and weight. Also was startled by the fact Manifold is a couple months younger than me! I like boxing, but can't imagine going in front of thousands of people, hundreds of thousands watching live, in a exhibition match like that. And damn, Manifold went strong, and was COATED in blood. Hope his nose isn't broken.
Also, aww, Manifold was supporting a sarcoma charity in honor of TechnoBlade :')
Results: Jack Manifold by Unanimous Judge Decision
Fight 2: Jaelaray vs. Abelina Sabrina
This fight I similarly only know one of the two creators, Abelina Sabrina. I am rooting for Sabrina, despite having the weight disadvantage stat-wise. I just like her, think she deserves some hype. Also I think this other girl is a League streamer so that's a negative. Love Sabrina coming out with the Mariachi band and the calavera-themed robe, props for the Mexican-American representation! Oooh but damn, as soon as the round started, Sabrina took a LOT of hits. She's still grinning at the end of round one though, Jesus! Reminds me of Minx from last Creator Clash. One of the commentators said and reminded me, might be that power from having been a costumed character at Disney. I'm sure once you've done that, you can do anything. Sabrina's doing absolutely amazing staying upright, but she just isn't giving enough power in her jabs. Fight ending, both women still up, you can just tell these two had a good time, all good feelings, and I'm glad. Props to Sabrina, any other fighter, Jaelaray would've won by TKO at least one round ago.
Results: Jaelaray by Unanimous Judge Decision
Fight 3: Dad (Nathan Barnatt) vs. AB (Starkilla)
I remember both of these fighters from last Creator Clash, all of my bets are on Dad despite the 11-year age difference and the weight disadvantage. Same initial approach by Dad, just going buck-fucking-wild, though lasts a whole first round! OH GOD, that first round was all AB could take though, he's hurting too bad for round 2! Jeeesus, I hope he's okay. I'm thinking cracked rib but unknown as of now. Dad is a fucking TERROR.
Results: Dad by TKO after Round 1
Fight 4: William Haynes vs. Chris Ray Gun
Only one I know in this fight is Chris Ray Gun, but all I remember of him is he was an anti-SJW troll in 2016. My roommate wants him beat to a pulp because he finds him annoying, my dad texted "Hope white boy has good medical insurance." Sadly the suspicious website I was watching the event on was very slow during this round, so all I know is RayGun was demolished.
Results: William Haynes by TKO in Round 2
Fight 5: RIPMika vs. Alanah Pearce
Know neither of these creators, missed their stats, but Alanah off to a strong start and Mika slowing down in round 2. Bit of a slower fight, a few rounds in though, I think Alanah's got the better pacing, defense, and amount of hits. Not sure if they're the most power, but they're definitely the most, and I mean, when you've got a fatigued opponent, that works.
Results: Alanah Pearce by Majority Judge Decision
Fight 6: Myth vs. Hundar
I remember Hundar from last Clash, and remember being impressed by him, but Myth seems to be a strong opponent! Only 2 pounds different and 16 years younger (if you thought the 11 between Dad and AB was crazy)! Myth off to a strong start it looks like,
Results: Myth by TKO after Round 1
Fight 7: YodelingHaley vs. Marisha Ray
Man, this is unfortunate. Knowing YodelingHaley from last creator clash, I was honestly hoping she had a chance this time around. She had fantastic form in her fight with JustaMinx, but Minx was just a natural powerhouse. Couldn't be knocked down, and hit hard, despite not having as good form as Haley. But I know some about Marisha Ray, and seeing her at the weigh-in last night... I'm concerned for poor Haley again! But l shouldn't have, because she was able to keep it up and deliver punch after powerful punch! But similarly to Sabrina a few fights ago, mad props to Marisha for staying up, WOW.
Results: YodelingHaley by Unanimous Judge Decision
Fight 8: Arin Hanson vs. Jarvis Johnson
This fight breaks my heart, I love both of these guys so much. Either win will be bittersweet, Hanson could do with a win after the loss from a poor match-up last Clash, but Jarvis has him beat on age. He also has weight on him. But wow, after a fast start Jarvis just lost stamina fast, though he had a lot of power! You know, Arin had the additional experience, the determination from the loss last time, and it showed! Also, very funny watching TWRP going so hard for his win in their crazy costumes. Commander Meouch my beloved.
Results: Arin Hanson by TKO in Round 2
Fight 9: Michelle Khare vs. Andrea Botez
All I know about Andrea Botez is that she's a chess player, and I know even less about Michelle Khare. But it seems really evenly matched, both women moving around the ring pretty well, both getting hits in! Michelle is currently in the lead though, more jabs, more power, better defense. More stamina in the later rounds. Already know the result before the announcement.
Results: Michelle Khare by Unanimous Judge Decision
Fight 10: LeonHart vs. Ethan Nestor (CrankGameplays)
In this fight, I'm the most familiar with Ethan Nestor, but I am. Scared for him. LeonHart has the height and weight advantage, and seems LeonHart may have been training for longer. Also, LeonHart walked out with Jason Paige, the original singer of the Pokemon theme song, singing said theme song. But, Nestor had bbno$! And, Nestor definitely looks more comfortable in the ring, is bouncing around, whereas LeonHart is stiff. Calm, collected, saw his opportunities, took them, guess I shouldn't have been scared! Guys with lighthouse tattoos for the win (I am biased.)
Results: Ethan Nestor by TKO in Round 3
Fight 11: Harley Morenstein vs. John Hennigan
You know, Harley Morenstein rocked it last time, and has the age, height, and weight advantage; but John Hennigan is "The Mayor of Slamtown," and a professional wrestler. Interested to see how successfully that translates, I have to assume it helps! First round, too, Hennigan was able to punch Morenstein out of the ring, onto the judges table! The man is a wrestler, if he can't bring the table to Harley, he'll bring Harley to a table! Harley survived the second round, but just barely. Makes sense round three was the end. LOVE Hennigan's callout of the Paul brothers. Was in tears when it cut to the announcers and Cr1tikal is just two feet shorter than the other guys.
Results: John Hennigan by TKO in Round 3
Fight 12: Alex Wassabi vs. Ian (iDubbbz) Jomha
I know both these guys, it's iDubbbz house so it's hard not to root for him, despite his checkered past. Pretty even stats, iDubbbz has the height advantage, Wassabi has weight, both only by a couple pounds, couple inches. But before the fight... SUPERMEGA NATIONAL ANTHEM. Also, Cr1tikal just said "Rest in Peace Jesse Mccartney," who is... not dead. MATT AND RYAN I LOVE YOUUUUU! Wassabi starts cocky, but I'm hoping the lack of good form costs him. iDubbbz is starting slow, but feels like he's conserving energy for coordinated attacks. Wassabi still delivering power shots though, iDubbbz is going to have to speed up. Don't like what was basically wrestling from Wassabi there in round three, dragging him around in a hold. And Wassabi kind of continued to fight dirty from there, I genuinely don't know what the judges are going to decide. And after that decision, I change my mind on Alex Wassabi, that was very sweet towards iDubbbz. One more fight! That man cried blood!
Results: Alex Wassabi by Majority Judge Decision
Overall, great lineups, they definitely matched their fighters more evenly this time around, more experience under their belt. Thanks to the weird dude at femboys.live for the bootleg stream.

Your reaction is very detailed and wonderful. I think it's will be better if you add some images like what rocket bot royale have done.
