I think i will stick with OG v Vega, Miracle on shaker but mostly because it doesn't contain Tobi casting.

*EG not using correct team / names come on

I really wish for competitive matches that players were forced to use their official usernames. When people say that they should drop their usernames for their real names I disagree but they should use their official usernames in competitive matches.
