In that picture, there are instances of several tiny giants scattered across the Mountaintop of the Giants region. What struck the fans more was the posture they were holding. There were over ten giants, and all of them were kneeling forward in a certain way.

At first, those giants might look tiny and weird. But according to some fans, the players are actually the size of those giants’s toes.
