I'll be doing simulated matches by request for whoever wants them. I will be starting out with Me vs. Gucci, seeing as how that tended to be the popular one and I've lost twice, so I would like revenge. If you'd like a match, just post who you would like to play, and I'll get to it at my earliest chance. Like Ty, I'll do a little running commentary.
10 minutes halves on legendary.
