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!!!

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...

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.

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

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.
