“Heated Rivalry” editor Arthur Tarnowski reveals that the opening scene where Shane Hollander introduces himself to Ilya Rozanov was almost cut entirely from the show, but editors who worked on the trailer convinced Jacob Tierney to keep it in
Previously, Hudson Williams has said that the scene was originally 6 minutes long of Shane attempting to make small talk, before it being cut to the 30 seconds that we see in the final edit
It was also a mini-Easter egg that Ilya couldn’t light his cigarette until after he sees Shane

There is a version of your life that will never exist because you would not endure the pain required to reach it.
Suffering is not the enemy of greatness. It is the doorway.
“My time and energy is my biggest luxury now and both can be taken away from me pretty quick so it’s important to guard both with a strict priority list. I’ve always been most zen with the calm arts like reading, writing, and drawing/painting. Watercolor right now [because] I’m too lazy to clean up anything else. (…) You always hear about people thinking X, Y, and Z are gonna solve their issues, and then they get it and nothing’s fixed. But truly, nothing externally gained unfucks your mental state.” - Hudson Williams
