Sniper: The most overlooked and scrutinized GSL champion in history.

GG WP

i raise you roro and seed.

jjakji qualified for the longest time, but he came back from obscurity.


Don't think you can really compare Sniper to RorO. RorO finished rank 5-6 in GSL (through the Placement Matches) the season after he won Code S. Meanwhile the season after he won, Sniper didn't make it out of the RO32 and didn't even make it into Code S next season. And RorO continued to play very well in HotS in SPL whereas Sniper kind of just fell off the map after HotS came out. Something must have happened to his mindset or practice regimen because even in GSTL in 2013, when MVP finished #1 in the regular season, they only sent him out a single time.

He was never that good in the first place, he just had a good season that one time.


Kinda just like Roro
If all men were created equal there would be no reason to declare it.

That being said, Eve is just being irrational. Did she expect to win? Girl should have been happy to have been given a chance to play in the GSTL to begin with.


I dislike the superficial Eve following, but I think it's a little overreaching to say that Eve was acting irrationally.

It was her team's last match, her only showing (at that point), and an embarrassing loss (especially since she had already switched from Terran to Protoss but was already registered in the league as Terran).

I think it's a little unfair to speak negatively of someone crying like that. Yeah maybe Eve could have held herself up with a little more dignity, but other players have done worse.

lol, female player shows emotion about a game and people scoff that she should "be grateful she even got a chance to play"

if she should be grateful then idra should have been grateful for every game he got the chance to lose against better players too

so...is jjakji and seed the new kings of evil or something?


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

Not sure Jjakji deserves to be discredited. Sure, he had a sizable GSL championship hangover, but his play in that season was spectacular and he's showcased some awesome play and solid results since. He got lucky, but he deserved his title, IMO. Sniper is the epitome of "evil", he won boringly against fan-favourites when his race was overpowered. Seed is somewhere in-between those two. He won at a time when Protoss was a little strong then dropped off dramatically, basically never to be seen again. He wasn't the best player that season (Sniper was) but his play was at least good to watch (not the final).

Never liked his playstyle, but that's still a former GSL champion retiring. Respect due.

Good luck w/ the military Sniper!
