Because people like you keep making topics to complain about him.
Why is he a superstar you ask? Because he got rank 1 in every battlegroup, and because he's using his youtube fame to both help out other gamers and youtubers, and to raise money for charity, of which he's raised over half a million dollars.
You say he's a joke, that he's a troll, that he's so infamous? Why? Because you're butthurt that he has more fun playing the game than you? Or because you think you're so much better than him, but you're too lazy to do anything good with your skills? When you're earning 40,000+ a year without working a job, solely from your Youtube videos and your fame, then you can say he's a joke. 'Till then, 'tis YOU that is the joke.
Rest In Peace, World of Warcraft. Subscriber count doesn't matter, WoW has been dead in spirit for a while
Rest In Peace, Star Wars the Old Republic. SWTOR is a fun RPG, but a bad MMO

Overrated much
he's a pvp'er for one. so that would explain his little to no knowledge of DS.
he held top world rankings on 2v2, 3v3, & 5v5 all at one point or another.
aside from that, he's got a lot of...personality, lol and he's funny to watch.
and, its just a character, which is what makes it funny if you understand that.
hope that helps
I dont like athene myself but it's not something to get worked up over, some people buy into the persona he puts out there for the public eye, they find it entertaining.
