He made Eve cry. The whiteknighting is strong here.

It's not just that, as everyone loved IdrA for making Tossgirl cry.


he's just a guy that kills all the fun happiness and joy in the world.

flowers wither everywhere he walks.


He's killed many a fan favorites.

Yeah, but Sniper is just a standard zerg. There's nothing fancy to him. You're not impressed by anything other than the solidness of his play. So when he beats a legend, it's like, "Oh, huh?"

And so Sniper fulfills his destiny to defeat fan favorites all the way to a Code S championship!

Regardless of his popularity, it's really nice to see that he gains the championship of the best league in the world just to confirm the fact that he is at the moment by far the best player in SC2.

This really represents a next step in Sniper's career. At the beginning of this season, nobody ever looked at Sniper as if he was a championship contender, but with this, it's undeniable that he is a legitimately top level player.

Congratulations to Sniper!!!

Part of it is an ongoing joke, partly because he takes out fan favorite players, partly because he made Eve cry, and partly because he badmouthed Terrans who were complaining about balance.

His personality also isn't very interesting, so we made him a villain to fill in the holes.


esports really needs a villain. There hasn't been a really good Korean villain in a looooong time. It's good for the game, makes it more fun


THEBEST

Thebest is like a kids movie villain. Falling and stumbling towards evil plots that get foiled easily with laughs.
Sniper is like the fucking Joker... Just creates chaos wherever he goes...

Considering he lost in Code A i don't know if we can make that statement with 100% confidence ;p


That was shit day for him. Be logical.

THEBEST


Goddammit guys I already explained this

TheBest is the bumbling stumbling screw-everything-up-but-is-really-nice grotesque henchman, but not evil

TheBest is the lowest henchman that dies instantly, heart is the recurring henchman who presents a minor threat but is swatted aside. Sniper is the majordomo who is the eternal nemesis of all that is good and bitbybit is the mastermind controlling it all from behind the scenes.

Also his play style isn't very interesting. Just plays super standard every game.

He's no doubt a great player, but he doesn't really do anything that warrants me becoming a fan.



He won a gsl AND is a great player. Isn't that what matters? Or have we devolved to only liking players that say funny things in English?

Probably because he was actually charismatic.

Funny cause DRG came up the same way, taking out the established top players in SC2 and people started calling him a legend killer too, and he's charismatic.

poor Sniper is just a villain.
i was driving down the road this november eve and spotted a hitchhiker walking down the street. i pulled over and saw that it was only a tree. i uprooted it and put it in my trunk. do trees like marshmallow peeps? cause that's all i have and will have.
