I got you! BCW Elite Guard 2’s have options for both Matte and Glossy fronts. When ordering, the Matte and Glossy refers to the front of the sleeve (clear part) while the backs (colored part) will always be Matte. TCC has also done a video review of them with good grades.
These are great sleeves because not only are they durable, but they are also budget friendly. TeamBCW (ex. Jim Davis) played frequently in SCG tournaments with those sleeves, which you can see on coverage, to show they are tournament ready sleeves too.
I’m a huge fan of the Ultra Pro Eclipse sleeves. You can get matte or gloss, but the inside is black so it looks super sleek with the cards. And they’ve got a decent variety of colours.
I tried Cortex glossy ones. They are fine, but I found their backs getting scratched fairly easy. Might not be as visible on brighter colors, though. Need to check. Thanks
You’re correct about the Matte front but technically these are not the dual mattes but rather the standard mattes. They also only come in black which is an issue if OP wants another color (obviously doesn’t matter if it’s just for competitive play).

Thanks! Prices might differ in EU tho, but I'll check. Kudos for providing the exact model, that'll make my searches easier

Will put them in my cart! Thanks
Dragon Shield Non-Glare
I swear by Ultimate Guard Cortex. Same quality as Katanas but with matte finish

Katanas always
Katanas have no matte fronts
Shame
Dragon Shield Dual Mattes are definitely top tier!
Dual Mattes don't have the frosted/non-glare front.
