Liquid`Snute: Because it Just Makes Sense - Page 22

To put this into better words than "AWW YEAA"... my soul filled with joy when I heard this news. I first saw Snute in action at IPL 5 (I only really joined the community around September ^_^), and I knew he was great. He was very genuine in interviews and impressed me beyond belief by doing what had been inconceivable for foreigners - he beat Life. This gave me a great impression.

After that, I began to follow him like I did many other of my favourite players; cheering for them in tournaments, looking at Twitter updates, etc., but I noticed something about Snute. He always seemed cheerful and positive, even if he lost (IPL 5, for example) and it made me happy seeing a player act like so. His skill was showing too; after HSC VI, he showed his potential as a player at the very top of the food chain. To my shame, I somehow missed his stream (it may also be something to do with me not browsing unfeatured streams ), but nonetheless I still loved this charismatic, awesome player. I heard no news, which saddened me, but I assumed Snute was enjoying his holidays, which is a great thing!

Then came the Slasher speculation, but I'm skeptical about that sort of thing. Then, today (or yesterday, depends how you put it), I saw the announcement had joined Liquid - a top tier team that's known for it's manner and awesome community. It made sense, as it was a perfect match, but at this point I felt like I was experiencing a fantasy (no pun intended); as I said, it filled my soul with joy. Better yet though, Snute had a stream running! I instantly jumped on and expected something along the line of my favourite FXO streamers; quality games, interaction with fans (but maybe more because he can speak fluent English), but yet again I underestimated him.

I noticed on his stream that in defeat, he still kept a great smile on his face and realized what he did wrong; in victory he pointed out mistakes; and he took time to interact with his fans, responding to those he had time to, even though there were 2K viewers. Not to mention he worked for hours on end to improve and please his fans. This person was amazing; he took good manner to an entirely different level and showed a dedication to the game almost unheard of everywhere else.Even in games where viewers were unsure whether stream cheating was going on (I doubt there was but meh), he still blamed the loss on his self and improved on his mistakes. He even interacted with his opponents and talked to them like someone would to a good friend.

In essence; probably the best pro gamer I've ever seen, perhaps not in skill but in dedication and kindness.Keep going, Snute! Go to IEM Katowice and make all your fans proud! We're cheering for you! Liquid`Snute fighting!
