Err, it's actually the opposite. You would have to snipe two times to eliminate a threat, and the brackets may not be in your favour, like if the target lost one match and then got placed with characters no one would vote for. Essentially this gives the powerhouses a second chance and would make them almost immune to sniping since the fanbase will see it coming the first time it's tried and prepare for the second time.
THIS KILLS THE SAIMOE.
