[@AstroZombie1138]

Good win for Dobey and hopefully his accuracy improves in the next round but nice to be able to switch to tops when D16 isn't working. Bit harsh on Rydz barnet but Rydz has so much potential. I thought Nathan was going to have a more difficult game considering Ricardo's last game but a number of players have struggled with consistency.
