Jjakji-Leenock still delivered the best finals in terms of games. He did get good draws and lucky consequences. Then again, so did Sniper.

Yes, how dare I suggest that the player who beat some the actual best players in the world at his time all the while getting 3/4/5 kills in GSTL per match is actually good. No amount of whine would change that. If it was Symbol or ByuL or LosirA that actually won, you may have a point.
I don't have anything about your arguments.
But you should check a doctor.

Symbol did nearly win and was doing well himself. In fact, Symbol is a better player than Life at the moment.

I'm not saying Sniper is Life, but this is still crap. In his series against Ryung, Sniper only built BLs in the very last game (edit: and he was WAY ahead by that point). Ryung's whining and revisionist TL posters have tainted his run.

I'm just saying, of all the Zergs that were on the rise at the time, pwning nerds in GSTL and what not, Sniper was the only one who made it into the Ro8 and then won.

Sniper didn't abuse BL/Infestor. In fact, I'm pretty sure Life did it more times than Sniper when Mvp realised that the key to beating Life was massing BFH, and people still consider (and considered) Life one of the most entertaining Zergs to watch.
Sniper played a lot of cool games without the Brood Lord combo, but for some reason people forget that =/

Herd mentality will do that to people. And not watching GSTL nearly enough.

Yeah I agree, people keep forgetting that Sniper comes from the school of MVP, a team known to produce zerg players that really love mutalisk play, Sniper used them in both ZvT and ZvP at a time when playing ling infestor was just straight out better.

Awesome, the two I wanted to get back into Code S made it.
Looking forward to next season.
