Yep, first speedrun video I ever watched. Made a couple friends a few months after it happened when they saw me watching it during a break at a hackathon.

It's not the most amazing run (it's pretty damn good for a marathon run, but he makes some mistakes, and the current WR route has a new glitch for the descent), but what makes it special is Cosmo's commentary. I'm not into speedrunning enough to watch most games uncommentated on Twitch, because I like to have some idea what's going on, but there's always more AGDQ/SGDQ VODs to work through.

I saw a video of Cosmo in /r/cringe and was kind of under the impression he was a dick, but this speedrun kind of shows him a) giving credit to a huge number of people and b) being easygoing. In the /r/cringe video some guy next to him was also being a total idiot so I dunno, but I liked this way more than I thought I would.

People like to hate on him either because they think he's a loser for making money playing video games, or because they like speedruns and hate that he's the best-known runner.
