Doesn't even need to be MtG specific or anything.
To me, despite having Reid Duke as a BGx-sempai, my idol is always Paul Cheon, the man has it down pat, despite having an unfortunately terrible pro record, he forged quite a career and lifestyle and now sits on the MtG playtesting team WHILE having a wife and kids. That's fucking amazing; I have a wife and I still don't know what to do with her.
tldr; who do you look up to in your hobby?

Luis Scott Vargas, one of the best players in the entire game. Maybe it's because he's already in the Hall of Fame, and therefor gives zero fucks; but he's one of the few pros that actually seems like he's having fun. His draft videos are the best Magic videos on youtube: https://youtu.be/Y-naVKIGxTI?list=PL04lbfeNAaS8xb3NYaYxGVQRdbR1e4Oe2

LSV is my favorite pro player in terms of all around things he does. In terms of watching play, Finkel is incomprehensibly good, which is fun. For straight up streaming, Kenji/Numot best cheon.

I love LSV as a Mtg-player but he is a real pc-cuck in personal...

LSV. Props for maintaining humility. His personality is what I really look up to. Wish I could be more like that.

At least he doesn't use cuck unironically and out of place

Calm down LSV.
Kibler and LSV are easily the most lovable mtg players.

imperial taste
LSV is the GOAT.
he drafts the most interesting decks and he pilots them flawlessly. his commentary is always 100% on point and his mannerisms and phraseology are charming and personable. he is a giant nerd but he is also polite and self aware. my favorite player by a huge margin.
We used to always crack Chuck Norris jokes about Finkel, but after Conley Woods pulled a miracle comeback with that W/R Metalcraft deck, I have a ton of respect for him.
