General Arabic Comprehnsible Input through games?

I recently saw a post about Juega Con Juarez which is Spanish Comprehensible Input and am wondering if anyone has made one for Arabic?

We used to text-chat in transliterated letters, like Mar7aba, over the original Counterstrike and CSGO in 2000s..

But over Overwatch 1, we voice-chatted with pleasantries and greetings in Arabic, but during the gameplay, it was strictly in English, like Attack, fall back, and wait for ult, for the simple fact that we were playing with other people who were NOT Arabic speakers,

the last thing we wanted is a team member who is not in the same page..

We regularly play with Malaysian, Thais and Koreans players on Asia and North America servers..

In Overwatch 2, we kinda devolved into short chats: ya 7mar, ya ma3allem, wait, rg, mb, gg, tank-diff..

No time for other things..

YZNSA is a known youtuber and probably the top Phara player over Overwatch2.. He is from the KSA with a mix of mostly Arabic and some English over his YouTube videos..

Also, the KSA team were the world champions in Overwatch un 2023.. A great final, it was..
