“Kiyomi is a reactionary player, so she sees things, she processes it, but she sees and processes a lot faster than most players,” Mike McMiller said. “She’s [also] putting on a show, but the show is not to showboat, like people like to say. Everybody has a different style; that’s just her style of play … a DMV style of play.”
