Sneaky is the definition of Rock Solid coz' he makes his fans hard. Oh, his gameplay's pretty consistent too
Underrated comment
I can agree with this, sneaky has been easily the best AD in terms of consistency over the course of his career moreso than any other NA adc talents during his era. People can say that doublelift is the best adc NA has ever produce and i can see why they argued that, but sneaky is just a steady rock that can play weak side or strong and almost never the reason why c9 is losing the game.
yea in NA xd
@@lukasbade5919Lucky for those two, I can't even say I'm the best at any game
he was what you call in sports "The role filler" you gave him a job and he always promised to deliver, he was never your elite star player but if you needed something done, he would get it done. Which was perfect for Cloud nine who was always a mid lane/jungle focused team.
2018 Worlds was a fever dream for C9 Fans
Sneaky was the rock C9 needed. Super consistent, and always had the potential to pop off in any game he played. Also one of the best teamfighting ADCs the game has ever seen
Great pick, sneaky is one of my favorite personalities in the lcs ever.
now he costreams with doublelift and meteos on occasion xD. Great guy. great content. hope to see more history from these pro players.
Out of all the costreams I enjoy the Sneaky/Doublelift/Meteos the most. The chemistry between them is great and they’re entertaining as well not just analyzing the game
@@LoLAthlete yea exactly ahaha. honestly ddnt know meteos was a pro player till i did a background check.
Part of what makes sneaky good is that he doesn't drop the ball like other NA ADC's in worlds. Doublelift in 2016 threw to SSG and what was likely a ticket to finals, and again choked in 2017 groups by holding his flash. Cody Sun's 2017 insec eliminated IMT. Meanwhile Sneaky's biggest mistake at 2017 was getting triple crit at 20% by a Kog Maw.
The infamous Doublelift chokes man…
I know this is just supposed to be am overview but you definitely should've highlighted that Sneaky smashed the DPS record in the series vs WE at 2017 worlds.
C9 was the only NA team I always counted on to show up good and Sneaky was a huge part of that even after other influential players like Hai and Meteos weren't there anymore
now these are the videos I absolutely love, keep it up!
Thank you Vuk I see you early in the comments 👀
Sneaky is my favourite ADC in League history. A lot of my love of bot lane comes from him, as I watched/played League since Season 2. Was a sad day when he retired but glad to see he still is involved in the game!
Sadly, NA's best support joined C9 exactly the year Sneaky left and we never got the chance to see that happen.
Today, Sneaky remains my favorite streamer to watch.
Love your content! You definitely deserve more subscribers and recognition!
Bro your videos are so good! You deserve such a bigger audience. I love both your short form & Long form content💪
Thank you man I appreciate you :))
Quick question... are those 100 sec lol history vids you're pumping out. I'm curious how successful they are for you? I'm curious bc I really enjoy them, and would love to see more🤙 l can get a quick reminder why I started to enjoy proplay:)
@@megarrett As of right now they're good for telling quick stories/recaps., but I personally enjoy making the longer-form videos better (maybe I'm just old-school when it comes to RUclips videos). I do recognize all the most popular LoL channels rn (Rival, Ryscu, Vandiril, etc) are exclusively short form so I wanted to dip my toes in that category with my own content. They will never replace long-form content but rather supplement it. So far the feedback hasn't been overtly negative, so I don't plan on giving up experimenting with them anytime soon. I'm glad you enjoy them :)
When I was just a wee lad starting to play the game oh so many years ago, I was introduced to the idea of esports. The team that caught my eye when I became more acquaintance with the game was Cloud 9 because their NA runs and their color scheme. I remember watching Sneaky play and wanting to be as good a player as he was and maybe even play on C9 one day. Now that obviously hasn't happened. But I still find him as a player and person endearing and a major part of my youthful years of childhood. He doesn't get the recognition he deserves at all.
would’ve loved to see what he could’ve done with a legit support
Don't know why this made me cry. I've always seen Sneaky as the best ADC based on domestic and international performance. Doublelift can't even copy that. Keep it up!
I was always a Sneaky supporter. I was so mad he got benched for that random time. And the way he left the org wasn’t on the best of terms either :/
@@LoLAthlete True. Meteos tried to get him to join 100T in 2020 with Aphro, but PapaSmithy had different plans. Shame, would have love to see that version over what we got.
I studied Sneaky when I first started playing. He's the pro I built my playstyle after on ADC. He's why u started as a Draven/Ashe main and all.
Never again we saw a passable performance at worlds when sneaky retired he might be the best weak side adc and probably top 1 in NA team fighting almost on par with international talents
I wish he could have played at least one split with peak Vulcan when he was replace by zven
its wild how forgvien would always abandon ship when his team starts losing a little but but sneaky no matter what stayed w c9 for almost a decade
A difference in a class and I speak as a guy who grew up and lives in Greece as much as I admired forgiven's skills I just can't stand the guy
What can I say? Skill issue
How do you not have more subs! Great stuff!
Thank you sir :)
I love how all of the league boomers and zoomers alike love your content. Boomer here enjoying the trips down memory lane :)
Thank you Jamie! I love going down memory lane and making these type of videos
Big fan of these videos my man. You do good work. I’d love to see a video on meteos at some point, as I’m sure others would as well. Another classic cornerstone of the golden era
Thank you :) and yeah there are so many good storylines to cover from the golden age of LCS. Dyrus, Xspecial, Hai, and of course Meteos
sneaky was nuts, easily the most consistent player NA ever produced, never had quite the highs as DL or Bjerg but continually being top 3 almost his entire career is actually insane
I mean i dont watch much lcs and never have since i am from eu and enjoy the LEC a lot more. I have to say tho, sneaky was a lot of times on my radar because of him beeing the only guy with his team C9 to make it out of groups as an Lcs team so often. Respect!
Sneaky was the most consistent player in LCS history. The video failed to mention that when he was getting "gapped", his team was drafting around top or mid/jungle. Sneaky had impact in almost every single one of his games despite him not being the one to get funneled the resources. He may not have the titles to back it up, but if you look at how he performed at every Worlds and LCS split, he is the GOAT ADC of NA hands down.
C9 Sneaky what was got me into watching the LCS, when he left, I stopped watching. So now whenever I think about the LCS he is what I think about. Never forgotten, always a legend
Literally same (except I still watch). He was just so likeable and easy to root for
Sneaky was defo one of the best. He still is
The most underrated and least mentioned ADC of all time
You can make the argument for Doublelift in other areas such as mechanics, but Sneaky is the best ADC in LCS history on at least a career and consistency level. One has regional success and the most international success out of any NA player in history so far while never faltering or being the reason for their losses and can play on both sides as a steady rock. The other flopped internationally every time and got placed around better teams set up to carry.
I will always remember him cuz of video named "Sneaky getting oneshoted at Worlds"
I also remember the “infamous” ScrubNoob incident
Sneaky was and will always be the best adc the best ever produced. He’s always played weakside with minimal resources put into him. If they played with him the same way doublelift gets played around with, things may have looked different for him. Same thing with his supports, aside from smoothie… all his supports were just okay, nothing like biofrost,aphromoo, or corejj during the time they were top 3 in the league which is insane lol
he sexy most importantly
Sneaky is an inspiration and that is how the world should view him. ;3 Gigapog.
He definitely inspired me to main ADC, wish I was 1/100th as good as him LMAO
We all love snacky :)
Please do one on Meteos!
Best career ever from any NA adc and up there with the greatest.
My Goat
Fucking awesome content bro!
Sneaky is like the NA version of Pray
Can you do a "what happened to jiizuke? the only italian to go pro?"
The Italian G0d himself. I still remember his Ekko from Worlds
DL might have America but Sneakey was the champion of NA at internationals.
I don't remember if this is true, but the reason he was kicked from C9 was because of Licorice? He didn't like the losing botlane of Zeyzal and Sneaky, which led to both of them being replaced with Zven and Vulcan.
just my opin he had the ability to be a seconde uzi
in his prime and even later might have saved the na in world.
as ace card
Just here to point out the spelling at 1:31 , gives off the same vibes as writing "Snackie" instead of Sneaky
sneaky is the NA goat for adc, sure doublielft has more domestic titles, but one has never made it out of world groups, while the other made it out of world groups 5 out of 7 times. also being the most successful NA worlds player in its history, for any role. Sneaky > doublelift
Sneaky made me a C9 fan and I still am. We about to win MSI.... :/
Same and blaber and licorice made me drop C9 they ain't winning shit btw ^^
Good enough to reach semis and the second na team to do so
Hot take maybe but sneaky is probably the best NA adc and his international performance proved that but the “sneaky in lane” meme hurt people impression on how good he really was
His Sivir is buuuuuuuusted
you miss-spelled Rekkles pretty hard
He never missed Worlds. LMAO. Think about that.
Sneaky didn't face off against Doublelift in Spring 2017. WildTurtle was on TSM for that split. Good video but make sure you get all the facts right
Me liked c9 jensen era
Sneaky must have turned down several offers at least after leaving C9? It's not like NA is a strong adc region to begin with, but he just disappeared from pro scene.
He was ducking godlike at one point
He was one of the main reasons I loved C9 so much back in those days
Cool vid, there's some slight production issues but I think it's pretty solid overall. My only gripes were misspelling Rekkles/mispronouncing NV's team name (It's pronounced Envy-Us)
Also, "Three to oh" sounds kinda awkward since one word ends with "o" & the next word starts with "o"-- Three to zero, Three-Oh, or Three to nothing flow better
Nice work!
Thank you for the honest feedback. I appreciate it I’m trynna to improve every video a little at a time, and oh man I don’t know how i misspelled Rekkles so hard lmao
@@LoLAthlete Of course, I don't normally comment feedback but I like your style & hope to see you succeed :) Looking forward to your next vid!
Jensen has the record with 8, do your research
0:03
smoothie wasnt on c9 until summer 2016. spring was bunny and hai splitting time. also doublelift wasnt on TSM in 2017 spring, it was wildturtle. feel like if you make this kind of video, you shoiuld at least research propperly
c9 went downhill after sneaky left fr
I'm a Sneaky fan but they sacrificed international presence por domestic titles
Are these voiceovers done by an ai
Nope
1:33
That's NOT how u write Rekkles, my dude...
He was always a bit sus to me
So much nostalgia bait... I'm not crying, you're crying.
My first video of yours, I think you would benefit a lot by going broader than just reading out his accomplishments, I could read through his Liquipedia and it would take me less time than watching your video. You posed the question how good was Sneaky really ? Asking the question in that way would make me think "Oh this guy must have an interesting angle like maybe he wasnt as good as his achievements make him out to be" But not only did you not go that way you didnt really answer the original question, I think these videos would benefit from testimonials from experts in the scene, not testimonials specifically requested by you but clips from Podcasts, tweets, streams etc. I hope I dont come off as rude or authoritarian I'm going to watch more of your videos to see if this is a normal tendency of yours and I hope this criticsm is not detrimental to you.
A bit more boring of a video. It was purely a fact listing of the placements of his team each year and how well he roughly played. It's more interesting to also know what he was doing personally, perhaps thinking or feeling. And if you're going into his legacy, his cosplay and streaming are also big parts of how he's remembered. Honestly, that'll probably be half of his legacy.
Very, very good. His femboy cosplays made quite a lot of LoL community memebers to bust quite a few fat nuts.
bro was just born in wrong country
Sneaky > Doublelift
sneaky was way better than doublelift
He was but doublelift fan boys set the narrative. Doublelift couldn’t play new picks like Kalista and sneaky was playing it and invented the hurricane vamp build. Just watch sneaky vs afreeca. Doublelift never had a series’s like that.
@@HigherKaiju doublelift was the best adc in the world until 2012 and was recognised and respected worldwide thats why there are so many doublelift dickriders until today
Envy"us". Really??
His legacy is femboys egirls
Sneaky carried lcs into keeping their status as a main region for too long
NA players and good lmao no
He was trash
I always saw him like the weirdo who took advantage of the woke culture to make a good profit while being a pro player, not respect for him, but I am happy he took his chance.,
How did he use woke culture? I thought he stayed out of politics?
Sneaky was the perfect ADC imo, he was just amazing with every ADC champion. If you ever wanted to learn the role of ADC then just watch Sneaky.
