It looks like amidst the noise of Team MVP emptying and refilling its roster this summer, the 2012 Season 5 GSL Code S Champion "(Z)Sniper" has retired and will be doing his compulsory military service in South Korea.

Source: DongRaeGu


Although his run in the spotlight was brief and he quickly became one of 'The Forgotten Champions' of Code S, he is still one of very few players to have ever won the hardest Starcraft 2 tournament in the world. There was hype around this once new zerg who emerged from out of the tall shadow of his teammate and practice partner DongRaeGu to make a name for himself as an up and comer who was taking down the very best.

In a season that saw him triumphing over (P)Seed, (P)sOs, (P)PartinG, (T)Polt, (Z)Leenock, (T)Ryung and finally (Z)HyuN in a close grand finals, nobody can deny that Sniper existed and had the skills necessary to earn his moment to shine brighter than almost any other players in the history of the game ever have or will get the chance to.

Take care in the military Sniper! Long live The Forgotten Champions of Code S!

It's quite sad for me, actually. His run was brief but I was there when his hype began to bubble and watched as he soon found and delivered on an opportunity to make a Code S run. His play always looked so much like DongRaeGu that you were sure they practiced together a ton. Even stylistic aspects of their play, like the way they controlled and micromanaged their armies looked eerily similar. He was damn strong and someone that earned a lot of respect in a short amount of time. He helped me to become a fan of more than DRG but also team MVP as a whole.

Sniper never was forgotten, he sniped to many fan favorites on his path to victory! Really sad he went of the radar and retired I liked his playstyle.

They're not evil, they're just unfortunately discredited GSL champions.

This is some really sad news. During proleague he showed quite some interesting games. He wasn't far from coming back on top. He would have deserved to go far another time, just to shut all the haters up.

Will never forget his GSTL dominance and his following rise to glory.
