🆚 Team Layouts

Versus compositions — 3v3, 1v6, or split teams — create instant competitive tension. Viewers pick sides before clicking.

🎬 Production Quality

Movie-poster-level photography with professional lighting, locations, and props. Each thumbnail signals premium content worth watching.

👥 Strategic Featuring

Not all 7 members in every thumbnail. Key members are featured based on video focus, keeping compositions clean and focused.
