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.[13]
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.
