Finally, Sign me up. I've been a big fan of his for a while now. Personally i think he was just nervous or something in his Code S group. His play in code A and GSTL have been just way better.
Hopefully he makes Code S again, and the experience of having been there before, allows him to play his best.
both sniper and monster constantly A-move banelings into tanks/thors. They need to stop that if they want to become a Zerg-God like big brother DongRaeGu.
it seems to me that sniper is out to prove something. At group selection he specifially asked DRG to pick him. Suggesting that he wanted to best DRG and take over the crown once and for all.
It must be obnoxious living in someone else's shadow. Sniper is the Ryung of team MVP for sure.
Your really good and how far you've come in the GSL and skillwise is a testament to your hard work.
When people say that you'll make for a boring finals, that's because they don't know you. Let them know who you are and give them a show.
You go out there and play your heart out and you'll come out a GSL Champion.
Also, I hope you know that you are indeed a great, a great starcraft 2 player. I don't mean skill wise, although that certainly defines your career right now. By great I mean you have the potential to change Starcraft history if you immerse yourself completely in your dreams.

All Sniper comedy aside, he still seems underrated and his accomplishments are diminished by balance whiners. He has been on a steady rise for awhile now. Anyway, I hope he wins!
people considers sniper boring because he lacks showmanship both in the booth and in public. He should take lessons from bigbro DRG, who's actually a master at showmanship.
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 so I just don't understand why they behave that way. I don't even understand why sometimes the winning players start whining.
I remember being somewhat impressed by this guy in a GSTL match, and then time and time again he has popped up and impressed me with solid games vs great players. I really appreciate his style and don't care too much whether he knows how to plant manner hatches and time dancing correctly, or slash his neck after a match. His play speaks for itself. Nowadays he is in many ways a more solid zerg than DRG.
I must also say that I feel for him in regards to the whole Ryung situation. It must be disheartening to have your opponent claim your win was not legitimate, and take away all the attention from the actual games and transfer it to your own bullshit drama (I doubt Ryung really thought about it in terms of hurting Sniper, but that is what happened and what he should have realized). Today, and ideally the time after he wins code S tonight, should be about Sniper and what a badass he is. It should not be about the state of zerg and balance whine in general. Sniper deserved this and in fact his zvz is among his strongest matchups.
I feel very good about him for the zvz tomorrow. Sniper has great zvz and he has really shined in situations without GSL level (week-long) preparation. Sniper's zvz results last 6 months are (in reverse chronological order): + Show Spoiler +
This gives him an overall winrate zvz winrate since the start of June 2012 of 72.73%. Hyun is obviously also good (and with a comparable record in zvz), but I feel people overlook Sniper who people should realize based upon results should have about a 50-50 shot.
So good luck to Sniper in IPL and GSL. Hope for some great games.
Sniper HWAITING!!! You and Life are special for me <3<3<3 And I like you because you always are confident, solid and show very intresting games. I remember I was so happy when you made one the biggest comebacks of this year vs SuperNova and when I cried when you lost to imba 2 rax build from Heart it was so sad Also that game in the IPTL vs Life was so impressive <3
You were highly praised along with Life around the same time.
My teammates state that Life is on another level when they watch his games. I also felt a lot of different things, so in order to change, I am going to work really hard.
Count me in. I don't know what it was, I guess the underdog vibe since everybody was rooting for HyuN, but I was cheering for Sniper. Awesome stuff, grats on the win.
My god hes the definite Zerg version of fnatic.aLive
1) winning Code S, while nobody is cheering?
2) lacking personality and too shy to express himself?
3) 122 comments in fanclub?! :D
here we go !
Well Sniper is now known as the ultimate Fan favorite "Sniper", and he might be riding the Zerg winning spree wave but give the guy some credz, he kept his shit together and didnt choke
Also I kind of prefer him over HyuN, who got hyped but basically Sniper might be just as talented.....
Sniper is just fuckin dominant, a plus 5 map score in a tournament consisting of only champions. Damn, doesn't look like the patch has slowed him at all.
I hope sniper can avenge DRG in the Blizzard cup. First, Sniper must take Parting out of the tournament. Then, he can take out Life and double-avenge DRG.
I was looking at some past GSL results and I came across something that I found interesting. Sniper is the only player to ever defeat Curious in a set in Code A. He 2-0d him in GSL S3 2012. To put some perspective on it Curious is 27-5 in maps and 12-1 in sets all time. Sniper too good :D

lol if you can't beat immoral sentry, you don't deserve the blizzardcup win. sorry.
Although I'm sure everyone learned how to stop that watching Life.
ROBBED I TELL YOU!! He was suppose to close out WoL with 3 straight titles but he'll settle for back to back Code S

I've taken over the fan club guys so if there's anything you want me to add to the OP then be my guest!
Unfortunately the dark lord himself failed to qualify for GSL, we'll have to watch him crush fan favourites in Pro League instead while we wait for his return.
