## The Battles

The Battle Round was recorded on 1 and 2 September 2015 in Berlin and broadcast from 12 to 20 November 2015 in four episodes. Within each team, the 17 candidates were divided into seven one-on-one duels and a triple battle. The respective coach chose one of the Battle participants as the winner and came directly into the Knockout. As seen in the third and fourth season, the losing candidates could have the chance to be stolen by another coaches. All four coaches each took two candidates from the triple battle, so after the Battles, ten participants per team went into the Knockout.
