Dr. David Livesey
Dr. David Livesey is a character from the 1988 animated Soviet Union movie Остров Сокровищ, based on the 1883 novel Treasure Island. While the movie retained a cult following in former Soviet territories, it got far more notoriety in the West with the advent of memes focused around Livesey as the "original gigachad" in 2019 and particularly 2022. It was this surge that allowed Livesey a chance to compete in Mr. /co/lympus.
Tournament History
Leading up to Mr. /co/lympus 2022, there was a lot of anticipation among certain anons about Dr. Livesey's potential performance in the tournament. He had been the focus of many threads spawning off the gigachad memes. Despite a lively presence during qualifiers, he got a shockingly low bottom seed of #128, which itself was only acquired due to an oversight with Mr. Boss from Smiling Friends. Despite this setback, Livesey did fairly well in the tournament itself. He managed two wins in the first two rounds, and only lost in the third round to Elite Eight qualifier Max. Both during and after his run, he had dedicated supporters posting on behalf of him in the tournament threads, whom were mostly well-received by other anons. As a result of his obscurity outside the memes and a lack of other strong candidates, he was given the "Mr. Literally Who" reward for the year, an award his supporters still proudly accepted on his behalf.
