During the battles each coach lost half of his acts. During the live shows, the coaches were losing two (first and second live) or one act (third to fifth live) until the final live where each coach had one act. Blind auditions. The blind auditions took place in the Kapa Studios in Spata, Attica. Each coach had the length of the artists' performance to decide if they wanted that artist on their team.

Once the coaches picked their team, they pitted them against each other in the Battles. Episode 1 (February 15). The first blind audition episode was broadcast on February 15, 2015.
