In these modern times its easy to take streaming for granted - services such as twitch.tv have made live streams more accessible than any time before. With the rise of Sonic's Starleague and the BW afreeca streamers the BW community has been given a new life, but was posed with difficulties that we had not dealt with since around 2005. That is, afreeca and foreign IPs do not mix very well meaning access to Korean BW content was severely restricted.
Enter snipealot.
Snipealot's streams have made afreeca BW content accessible to the foreign community anytime of the day. He has had his twitch.tv stream re-stream the afreeca content, 24 hours/7 days a week, so that we may all view it with ease. He recently celebrated four months of 24/7 streams which just goes to show his dedication towards this project. His stream is very much appreciated by the community and today we express that in the form of a star.
Congrats snipealot, and we look forward to many more hours of content in the future!

You are truly a god amongst men, snipealot. I thank you personally for all the pro BW streams that I have watched on your channel. In fact...I think ima go watch a bit right now before hitting up a bit of BW. Honestly, your efforts are immeasurable to this community. Keep it up!
Holy carpel Tunnel! Grats Snipe! With all the stars handed out to much deserved people lately, it's like they are dangling the jelly fish in front of us.
Thank you so much for everything snipealot <3 When i feel sad i think about you and the present you gave us and i feel better! One day in the distant future when i have kids i will tell them the legendary story of snipealot the savior.
I only lurk here on TL, but I looked up my login and logged in just to give snipealot a HUGE thanks. I don't really know the scene, or the players, or even all the maps or builds, but I really enjoy watching the stream here and there. For whatever reason, I find BW much more of a joy to watch than SC2 (& HotS), even though I actually play HotS. I admit, since I was around for the release of Starcraft and BW, there's a healthy dose of nostalgia, too. What's amazing is how it still holds its own! Recently, when I had a nasty cold, and couldn't really think straight or do much of anything, the stream was there to keep me company when I was alone, and slip a little joy into my day.
Thank you very much snipealot for all you've done and given. And thanks too, to all the mods and others that help it continue to bring joy to all of us.
Congrats Snipealot! I was never big into BW but your stream has always been there whenever my interest peaks. Keep up the good work for your community!
Well, it was only a matter of time. This dude definitely deserve it for all the work he's done for the BW community for so long now, it's absolutely amazing. ILU K.E.
Thank you for all the support guys. Warms my heart I'm still looking into ways to contribute more, but it is rather hard these days as mid-terms are coming up.
Also, while I might have gotten the star, I feel each and every moderator on my stream is just as deserving :p Without them it would be snipealots 4/7 project instead.

Oh you :3
Well, however much work the moderators do, without you dedicating your computer(s) to this, we'd have nothing to moderate. ^^
Oh, I feel it should be noted that any and all SOSPA info I have released is thanks to snipe, either I ask him to translate something for me or he lets me know before I even find out there are news. :3
It's almost an understatement to call this well deserved; honestly, he's literally streaming 24/7, and during most SOSPA-events he's been juggling 3 different streams at the same time - while he's actively chatting with the people watching the stream(s)!
I have no idea how it is you manage to pull this off, but I fucking love you for doing it <3
Haha it's not that hard, I can handle it fine :p I just wish I could say the same thing about my connection. It should be able to handle more bandwidth(I wish I could up the bandwidth on snipealot2 to 2000kbps at least) - but alas I'm stuck with this shitty building internet. Too bad todays sospa event didn't get accepted on the calendar in time, I don't think a lot of people realized I was streaming sonic on /snipealot today(due to Gwangrae Starleague taking up snipealot3 when sonic started)
Thank you so much for this stream snipealot! Have definitely spent hours on end watching this stream! Best stream ever!! Such a deserving recipient of a TL star!!!
4 months straight going on 5!!! Congrats on the Star, and thank you for everything you have done for us. Without this stream i wouldn't be lying in bed at 3:00 in the morning watching BW!

Searched through the thread just to see your star :D Star was easily deserved. Gz to snipe!
A very well deserved star. Apart from your priceless contributions and dedications I also admire your attitude. Power and efame, or whatever you want to call it, often corrupts people but you always seem to stay cool .) Thanks for everything!
Well deserved ! :D Keep it going man ! I still tune when I get tired of OP marines and salvaging bunkers, friggin' immortals and useless carrriers, queens that don't fly and fungal all over the screen.
For a person who is just learning sc:bw (I started starcraft with the sequel, but found bw superior in terms of gameplay) this stream is the sickest thing ever, cause I get to watch pro level streaming any time of the day to learn the ropes. Thanks snipealot!

Exactly this is why this stream is among all the other things great.
Gamers that are just starting get to see high level Brood War and see how exciting and great it can be/is.
Beyond well deserved star for you Snipe. Thank you man, you truly are a hero in BW scene.
