I was gonna reach out one by one privately to the homies today. Then, I realized there's no reason I can't just say it once here instead. I love all the Xrd family and if any of you ever think there's anything I can do for you, please just reach out and ask (I can't fix ur shitty MUs though, sorry).

Really wish I had the clips but I guess I'll talk about some memories with SxJ. Just after lockdowns ended and we started to head out to locals more, I had leveled up a lot. SxJ was already considered a strong player, and I was more of a second tier, and didn't deal with the mirror match well.
