He answered the way he did, because of what Ryung did...

Sniper has worked his ass off to get to where he is and for someone to do what ryung did is just flatout annoying and disrespectful.


Then he should have made his response specific to Ryung only.


Should have but he was venting in the context of the question.

Haha Sniper, has he ever wondered why his own MVP team Terran players also haven't have any results? I guess they are just lazy bunch too.

You should all be ashamed of yourself. Ryung played really bad in that last game, forgetting Siege mode and making a lot of other mistakes. Sniper has worked his ass off to get where he is now, and Ryung COMPLETELY discredited his win by what he did in a live premiere tournament. Do you have any idea how that would feel? All of a sudden, all of Sniper's work means nothing, and he only won because Zerg is imbalanced. He must have felt terrible after that game. Don't act like Ryung is a hero speaking the truth while Sniper is some cocky kid that needs to be put in his place. They both made controversial comments, and they both handled it very poorly.

As a community, though, we need to stop being so judgemental over a player's actions, and instead focus on how well they play the game. Sniper is a player that has excellent mechanics and was praised by his teammates for a long time. Remember in his PvZs, when he would show excellent micro from his Roaches and Zerglings baiting forcefields in order to stop the Sentry/Immortal all-in? That has nothing to do with Infestors/Broodlords or even Queens for that matter. Get a hold of yourself and stop saying that Sniper was a no talent punk before the Queen patch. He will be around after Zerg is nerfed into the ground, because he's a GOOD player. And you know what? So will Ryung, because he's a GOOD player.

Here are two additional interviews I did with Sniper and Hyun before tomorrow's final:

Sniper on beating Ryung, his imba comments at the end, and playing HyuN in the GSL Code S Finals: "I'm confident in my ZvZ"



HyuN on beating Innovtation, and a ZvZ final against HyuN:

I was pretty neutral towards both Hyun and Sniper before reading this, but now want nothing more than for Hyun to absolutely crush Sniper. Not even entertaining games. Just pure carnage.

What? oO How would you feel when you just made it to the fucking GSL finals as a 17year old kid and in the moment of glory someone basicly tells you infront of thousands of people that you only won because the race you play has an edge right now? People always complain about Koreans being boring robots(which is ridiculously stupid) and now that this kid showed some actual emotion after being bm'ed incredibly hard, he gets all the hate in the world for it. This community really can't get any worse.

ryung was bm, sniper counters with more bm, and that is about it, i know it is frustrating, but each and every zerg that is doing well now (and has not been before the patches / metashift) will get less aknowledgement than usual.

edit: look the later interview with slasher he is much more composed, so just relax and dont hate either player.

People are just looking for an excuse to hate. Sniper had every right to say what he said.

HAHA sniper so bold. People already hated him before this interview, now its just getting worse. If he only knew how huge his anti-fan base is lol Although im not sure how serious ryung was about this imba imba imba, might as well have been only half-serious

It kind of was, since he's speaking about him obviously.

Between 2 BMer, the one that still state the "fact" usually has more support. Everybody knows the state of TvZ right now, you have one person whole BM the race IMBA IMBA, and you have a person who BM the race players having no skills. It's normal that people like Ryung more, it's not like TvZ is in T favor anyway.

Yeah, because, as we all know, Sniper has worked really hard just as long as Ryung has and was a good, well-known player before zerg got buffed...

Really don't get how Sniper is the bad guy here... He was obviously pissed at Ryung for good reason and just said what was on his mind, instead of dodging the question like most Koreans would do. He also seems fed up with all the Terran qq nowadays detracting from his success. Also he didn't abuse the BL/Infestor/Corruptor to win either, he capitalized on the many mistakes of Ryung.

Wtf is wrong with you? You want the community to never accept new zergs now because they had no success before the patch? Sorry for all the Jaedong fans - even when he finds success now he will just be a patchzerg. Oh and Life is a patchzerg too? That's interesting.

First off, Sniper has been working hard for a very long time. Second, most of the Zergs that are winning nowadays started to get popular AFTER the buff. Life, Symbol, Hyun, Sniper, and Violet pretty much all came after the buff. While Leenock is still relevant and is still very good, you hardly see DongRaeGu, NesTea, July, LosirA, Zenio, or most of the other pre-buff Zergs winning much anymore. This doesn't have anything to do with the buff, though. This has to do with the way the game works. Starcraft in a competitive sense is extremely volatile. Not only could you do the same with Terrans and protoss, but Brood War was the exact same way.

How do you know Sniper wasn't working hard last year? Breaking into Code A is hard as shit, so it took Sniper a couple tries but now he's upto to Code S and thats all that matters. Being well-known before the patch is necessary nowadays to be "legit"? The kid is only 17 give him a break.

This a hundred times. To have your greatest achievement yet discredited in-game in front of a world audience would piss anyone off. I don't agree with Sniper's comments but I understand his anger. I also understand the frustration of the community, but to take it out on Sniper, wish for him to be crushed and hate him for one stupid comment makes me so happy that I'm not a progamer.
