And then there was Seed

With the retirement of Sniper, the age of evil finally ends. In it's place is the rise of Choya and his new age of corporate evil.

though he was easily the most forgettable GSL champion ever it's sad to see players retire. Best of luck in the military

This is such an insult to the fans.. What a way to find out you favorite player was retired. No wonder the Koreans are seen as faceless moneygrabbers in the sc2 scene!

Btw im not a Sniper fan, but if i was i would be pissed off.

We talked about him being forgotten so often that now we remember. Alongside Seed and jjakji. Maybe it proves if you're a GSL champion you really become a legend, even if you weren't a great.

I don't think he had any fans, so don't worry.

Man... I really liked Sniper. Best of luck to him in the military.
Hopefully, he'll become like, the #1 sniper in the Korean military or something.

Maybe he'll beat the most popular sniper in the finals of some in-house competition to determine who gets to go undercover in North Korea and thus disappoint everyone?

Only the second GSL champion, after FruitDealer, to hang it up.

Come on, everyone knows that each time a Korean won a foreign tournament it was in fact Sniper playing with a mask

Before I even knew what SC2 was, how you won, or that the term RTS existed, I randomly tuned in to that final. I had no idea what the hell was going on, but the crowd was electric, the casting was emotional, and the production was sweet. So, I watched in confusion, getting excited about the trickery of that hidden base without knowing what he did or why it was tricky. Sniper was the first person I saw win a trophy in SC2. And now, I'm here. So even though I never was crazy about him, I always remembered him, and respected him.

Farewell to you, final overseas GSL champion.
