Yeah, he is so shitty man! Bad players can get to the ro4 of GSL. Give me a break, its not like he lost 3-0 either, it was a close series that ended 3-2.



I knew this woudl come up.

ryung is just not that good. He's not a taeja or a MVP etc. He's the type that'll hang around, but never win the big one.

Everytime I see ryung play, he's good obviously compared to many foreigners, but compared to other standout Korean t's, he just looks very average.


This...

"He's the type that'll hang around, but never win the big one." sums it up perfectly.


I agree with this but at the same time It's kind of weird because when I think of memorable games Ryung is in a few of them compared to most players who are in 0. Ryung vs DRG on Whirlwind and Ryung vs Flash on Whirlwind are games that I will remember for being such good quality.

At the time he does have that feeling about him like " he won't ever win it big but he will hang around "

I also had that feeling about Sniper forever, though. Now he's in the finals.

If being in the finals meant you'd win it big, then Kongs would be kings.

I really can't stand sniper.
Indirectly calling ryung no skill. I mean, look at yourself buddie, you are not quite high end code s player either.
Won't watch the finals, but i will cheer for Hyun.

I believe sniper was more of a teamleague player iirc and quoting about a "patch" that came out over 7 months ago and increased the queen range by 2...Something tells me sniper didn't beat ryung because of queens... nice try though

Yea he is sooooooo bad! cant belive he got to SEMI FINALS in the BEST sc2 league there is. And losing 3-2 to a "patchzerg" in close series. So awful..... -.-

Can we please stop with that retarded term every single time a zerg wins a match/set.

Once people start calling Nestea a patchzerg I am going to draw the line


The only Zerg that isn't a patchzerg is Fruitdealer :p

Ryung stated "IMBA" in the chat right at the last minute.

Terran players are shameless. I know that a lot of people are calling Zerg imba these days but I honestly just think it's an excuse for people with no skills. Regardless of the map or race, the superior player always wins

Says the guy with zero results who happens to make it to the GSL finals.

i suggest you take a look at his record over the past few months.


...you mean, the past few months after the queen buff?

the exact same goes for hyun

maybe, but hyun didn't say what the guy quoted. ^^ in fact, he said zerg has the advantage in ZvT

Hyun also didn't face "IMBA IMBA IMBA" in the chat when he won.
This looks more like a knee-jerk reaction from Sniper to Ryung than anything else.


These interviews are done right after the games are over so he was likely very pissed off that Ryung discredited his win in the chat in the GSL semi finals.

It's understandable, I suppose.

He's kidding himself if he thinks the game balance is perfect, though.

Yeah, I'd be pretty pissed off too if I just made the finals of the most prestigious tournament in the world and some guy was claiming I'm only there because of imbalance. It really devalues the moment. It's reasonable for Sniper to be upset.
i was driving down the road this november eve and spotted a hitchhiker walking down the street. i pulled over and saw that it was only a tree. i uprooted it and put it in my trunk. do trees like marshmallow peeps? cause that's all i have and will have.

he's in the finals of code s? how is he not a high end code s player

Ehh it's happened before when players make one finals and then disappear completely. I think what he means is Ryung has been in Code S for longer while Sniper may just be a one season wonder(Not to mention any zerg winning after patch nowadays is instantly called a patchzerg)

In other words some one who is newer to Code S shouldn't be calling someone who has been in Code S for a while now(Especially with the new format) No skill... If sniper hangs around Code S for a couple more seasons while Ryung falls out then he can call him no skill...

Note: I'm not trying to defend what Ryung said it was fucking stupid. I found it funny but I can see why Sniper and others would be upset by it. I'm merely pointing out Sniper is being just as dumb by calling Ryung No Skill. Both comments where made in the heat of the moment with emotions running high, Ryung having just lost in ro4 must have been heart breaking. And sniper with adrenaline pumping after a victory lashing out at some one trying to discredit his win. Lets let them build an epic rivarly of hatred fuelled with tons of amazing Code S matches and let the silly drama die for once.. please?

strawman argument.

try again.

I never said sniper is all that either. but ryung is a whiner. and instead of blaming imbalance, he should get better.

I guess I'm just a bit confused as to why everyone suddenly decided that the Ryung vs Sniper series was the defining moment of imbalance. Even before the "IMBA IMBA IMBA" the LR thread was full of people whining about what an injustice Sniper's victory was. Ryung is very good but let's not kid ourselves, not many people predicted him to reach the finals, he has only reached the Ro8 once (over a year ago. And once in the super tournament) and he was knocked out of IPL5 by Scarlett and HuK. Plus both him and Sniper just flew to the US and played for two days in IPL5, so neither of them are at their peak. AND HE LOST 2-3! There's plenty of stuff to latch on to if you want to complain about balance, but I don't at all blame Sniper for being upset when both Ryung and the community single him out and claim that he is undeserving.


You REALLY think sniper is a better player than Ryung? Really?

Yes, I do

Sniper should just embrace the bad guy role and tell everyone cheering against him that they can suck a fat one (as he points to his crotch). That would be fun and make him infinitely more popular (in the end). His calling out Terran players is a good start.
To be is to be the value of a bound variable.

are you talking about Sniper? the n.1 ranked korean player in the ELO rank... he must be really bad....
Part of the inhumanity of the computer is that, once it is competently programmed and working smoothly, it is completely honest.

I can't believe people are so hung up about this, it's so obvious what Sniper said was a knee-jerk reaction on what Ryung did.
Sniper is a progamer, he knows that the current balance favors Zerg without a doubt.
However when someone yells it in your face right during your moment of glory it will sting way harder then just a random forum poster, hence the reactionary interview.

Please read the note I edited into my post. I'm not actually trying to defend either players actions. Both were made in the heat of the moment and stupid(And imo not that big of a deal....)
