This competition consisted of three categories (Solo, Tag-Team and Loopstation). The participants are classified to the competition by special invitation of the organization or by wildcard.

In the second phase, the 8 beatboxers face off in a knockout stage with quarterfinals, semifinals and finals. In each battle, the beatboxers have two rounds of 90 seconds each.

Grand Beatbox 7toSmoke Battle 2018
It is a competition that celebrates on the last day of the GBB. This competition is free, this means that anyone who wants to enter can do it. The winner of the competition has a guaranteed quota for GBB 2019. This consists of two stages:

First stage
All participants have to show that they are qualified for the next round and for this, they have a minute of presentation. The 8 best presentations go to the next round.

Second stage
It is very similar to the King of the Hill of the Break-dance competition. The one that was qualified as the best presentation is placed as the "king", while the other 7 participants form a line (from 2nd to 8th in order) and they try to defeat him in a single-round of a minute for each participant. For each battle you won, a point is added and if it manages to defeat the "king", it takes its place. The loser goes to the end of the line again waiting for his turn. It should also be noted that there is a maximum of 28 battles. The winner of the tournament is who gets first 7 points or he has more points at the end of the 28 battles (in the latter case, when there is a tie, a battle is made between these two).

Results
Colaps is the winner of the 7thSmoke 2018 and has a guaranteed quota to the GBB 2019 after beating      Kenôzen in battle #12 and reaching 7 points.
