Biography

General Sniper garnered attention from professional teams from a very young age due to his impressive performances in solo queue and Twitch Rivals. He was announced to join Cloud9 as a streamer in November 2020, but his contract was almost immediately invalidated due to him being too young at the time.^[25]

2022 Season

Upon reaching the minimum age to compete in the North American amateur circuit, General Sniper joined 100 Thieves Next and changed his name to Sniper. The roster featured several other LCS, Academy, and amateur standouts and was one of the highest-seeded teams in the PGCQ 1 Open Qualifier. Despite the high seeding, the team exceeded expectations and even defeated Golden Guardians Academy in both the open qualifier and the circuit qualifier proper, finishing first both times and dropping only a single game. Sniper distinguished himself on aggressive, high damage champions.

Trivia

Is the younger brother of V1per and the twin brother of Crimson.
His IGN origin's because it rhymes with his brother’s IGN. His full streamer name was originally GeneralSniper but he’s shortened for his progaming career.
His biggest inspiration is his brother, V1per, but he also considers BrokenBlade from his TSM days an inspiration.
He started playing League when he was around 7 or 8 years old, in 2013.
First reached Challenger 3 months after hitting Diamond at the age of 12. He planned to be a progamer in 2019 with this same age.
He’s known for keeping his jersey tucked in. He calls it “just a vibe.”
