Why it worked
The video works because it showcases dramatic, high-action moments from a popular game, appealing to gamers who enjoy intense combat and large-scale destruction. The on-screen text creates immediate intrigue and a sense of epic scale, encouraging viewers to watch for the 'deletion' event. The fast-paced editing and clear display of skill or exciting moments keep viewers engaged, and the 'Squad' game's existing community likely contributes to its shareability.
