Long, long ago, in a parallel universe far away, I advocated for mirror matches as being an interesting test of skill.
The idea of even shoutcasting some competitive mirror matches was roundly denounced by the community as a sacrilege - with some justification, the game was not balanced for mirror matches. On the other hand, all things being literally equal, a mirror match should provide the best indicator of skill in the game. As they have in many other RTSes.
So thank you, AE, for cashing in on years of community support and respect to finally make this a reality and for shoutcasting these games. I'm watching with great enthusiasm.
I think they're fun. I do think Soviet vs. Soviet could make for some of the most interesting RTS gameplay ever, and I look forward to seeing this matchup and hope it happens - at least, if you didn't hate watching COH1 games where the countersnipe was pretty much the gamechanging moment. I do think a 1v1 tournament of Sov vs. Sov would be epic fun, given the faction's general predominance over the years.
Massive Props to AE for Making Mirror Matches a Thing

Haahah yeah to 2,600 viewers no less 
I'm as pants on head retarded as you it would seem.
I might investigate how far the community will tolerate them, I like the idea of alt history context though.

As long as the maps and commanders are not mirrored as well it will never truly be a fair and equal match.
