Haha, I didn't even know the streamer contest was a thing.

I just remembered a super cool PvP feature that impressed me in a beta. Crouching (reduces range players can see your nameplate) and going prone (further reduces range to like 5 meters unless someone mouses over you directly) being functionally useful was such a cool concept.

Saw a video on reddit of a group of like 5 or 6 ice gauntlet users prone in the bushes along a road as a 20-30 person squad rolled past. They jumped out and aoe'd like 3/4 of them down before dying. Super useful mechanic for ambushing high-traffic areas as well as an excape mechanism in high-foliage areas.
