Popular streamers Aris (Avoiding the Puddle) and Maximilian Dood talk about what made the game different from others — the movement, the speed, the characters, and of course, ring outs. SC player Bibulus brings up the iconic announcer who always reminds us that we’re fighting on the Stage of History. Kayane also steps in to talk about her trajectory in the esports scene and how Xianghua resonates with her personally.
