Razer’s On Target column features gaming tips, insights and commentaries from elite pro-gamers of Team Razer. From real-time strategy games to first-person shooters, members of Team Razer will be contributing their thoughts on the world of competitive gaming.
In the art of modern warfare, the sniper by far, is the most sophisticated fighter in the battlefield. Especially in the popular first-person shooter, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (1 and 2), the sniper’s role is essential. From recon to long range killing, the sniper can easily turn the tide in favor of victory. So what does it take to be one of the best snipers in Call of Duty?
You’re better off learning from one of the masters.
Nick “solz” Schrunik teaches the art of CoD Sniping
Meet Nick “solz” Schrunik, a veteran Call of Duty fighter of Serious Gaming, a decorated e-Sports gamer and also the designated team sniper. He is the Grand Champion of the following tournaments: ShgOpen 2007, Netgamez 2007, CPC2 2007 and Outpost on Fire 2009. His victories highlight his capability as the team’s marksman and he will be sharing his skills and knowledge to all Razer fans today.
So, without further ado, welcome to solz’ Call of Duty Sniper Training.
========================================================================================
Solz: It is a pleasure to be talking to all of you Call of Duty soldiers out there. Welcome to my Sniper Training Session. Here, I will talk to you about some tips and tricks I have learned during my course of sniping enemies from afar. Also, I would like to instruct you on how to optimize your performance using specific settings for your Razer gear.
Solz: After this session, you will learn that careful aim and great positioning are a CoD Sniper’s best friend.
Suggested Razer Lineup:
Razer Imperator Calibration:
Solz: This by far is my most recommended lineup and setup to get the most out of your role as a Team Sniper. The Razer Imperator and the Razer Goliathus Control Alpha give me the 1st thing every sniper needs, careful aim. The Imperator is calibrated as such in order to give you low mouse sensitivity. This is key in giving you better aim. As a sniper, your knowledge of the map gives you the foresight of where the enemies will be moving and thus, giving you great vantage points. If you already know where the enemies will come, the only thing left is to make your shots count. Having high sensitivity only counts for close-combat when quick reflexes are needed. Low sensitivity meanwhile assures you of steady and precise aiming.
Best armament for a sniper: Razer Imperator
So remember:
Positioning:
Solz: If you want to be a sniper then study the map! More than half of the sniper’s job happens before the fight. You have to know the spawn points, potential entry points, and alleys that are susceptible to wall-banging (shooting through walls to get the kill). Knowing these specific points in the map is as good as having a recon plane. You then have to adjust accordingly and position yourself at certain leverage points that can fully exploit these “map weaknesses”. Remember to also have a variety of sniping points to choose from. In real life, a shot fired by the sniper gives off his position. What more in Call of Duty where people you kill can respawn and hunt you down?

So remember:
Here is a video about sniping positions:

Grenades and Wall-Banging:
Solz: Most of you already know this but remember to use your frag grenades. Especially at the start of every round, a well-tossed grenade usually generate the first frags. Now that you know the map, tossing a frag grenade to get a kill will be easy. Also, since you know the point of entry of your enemies, a smoke grenade at choke points will really mess up their game and will hinder them from scouting your team moves.
These little things can score you a frag even before clashes
Solz: Another thing I want to discuss is the art of “wall-banging”. Wall-banging is when you have high-penetration guns which shoot through walls. Most sniper guns have very high penetration. Utilizing this to your advantage is another trademark skill of a sniper. One optimal way of using wall-banging is positioning yourself behind a wall that is directly facing a point of entry. Shooting through the wall once the action starts usually guarantees you a kill and traumatizes your opponents from using that corridor again or to be paranoid and shoot blindly through walls, giving away their position. A proper wall-bang maneuver instantly eliminates the enemy’s game plan. Mission accomplish for the sniper.
Properly calculated wall-bangs win games
So remember:
Solz: So that’s it for the meantime. Try to use these things I taught you. With these points and your properly calibrated Razer gear, you’d be making a name for yourself as a sniper in no time.

The Exodus has begun. Blizzard’s sci-fi real-time strategy game, StarCraft, has long been the standard for balanced and competitive gaming as well as eSports’ most popular medium in professional RTS tournaments. But with the release of the game’s much anticipated sequel, StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty, thousands of StarCraft pro-gamers are beginning to adapt to the sequel and apply their gaming skills to the brave new battlefield.
All hail the Emperor
One of StarCraft’s finest and also Korea’s most televised pro-gamer has joined the move. His known StarCraft alias is “SlayerS_`BoxeR`”, to his fans he is known as the“Terran Emperor”, and to the whole gaming community, Lim Yo-Hwan is known as eSports’ most popular StarCraft pro-gamers ever to take the stage. And in order to once again shake the foundations of professional gaming, Lim Yo-Hwan enlisted with the top level, professional game lineup of Team Razer.
The Rise of the Emperor
During the early the days of StarCraft, Terran was the least played race in the game. Compared to the more offensive-oriented Protoss and Zerg, Terran’s characteristics forced a more defensive gameplay for most professional gamers. Lim Yo-Hwan however, managed to devise innovative strategies with Terran.
Among the techniques he used were the efficient movement of Terran Dropships and Ghosts to quickly harass and destroy enemy strongholds and the construction of “proxy” bases. With his creative style of gameplay, he single-handedly revolutionized Terran and showed the gaming community – a more entertaining and competitive StarCraft. His use of the Terran race, plus his overall dominating performance and victories, earned him the moniker “Terran Emperor.” He was also known as the “Hope of the Terran” for re-imaging the once shunned race to a popular, commonly used pick.

Fame and Glory
eSports is becoming Korea’s most prominent sport. Being Korea’s most famous professional gamer, Lim Yo-Hwan was also treated as one of Korea’s most famous celebrities. With over 1,000,000 fans all across the globe, the games of Lim Yo-Hwan are in high demand. His particular style of play and widespread were the reasons why a DVD, with a record of his most prominent StarCraft games, was produced.
When Lim Yo-Hwan was eventually drafted for the Korean’ military mandatory service, the pro-gaming community kept watch of his progress in the army. It was his fame that allowed him to represent the Air-Force pro-gaming team. And when Lim Yo-Hwan’s military service ended, the gaming community had all eyes on Yo-Hwan’s promised comeback.

A Reign Renewed
Lim Yo-Hwan seeks to reign supreme again in Blizzard’s latest RTS and replicate the fame and glory he built during his StarCraft years. Lim Yo-Hwan currently holds the most televised game victories with more than 500. He was named ESReality’s greatest gamer of all time in 2004, while also achieving the “The 10 Most Influential Video Gamers Of All Time” recognition from MTV in 2006.
He currently has championship records in numerous leagues such as Ongamenet Starleague, World Cyber Games, KT-KTF Premiere League and KPGA MBC. He holds the record of most consecutive months to be ranked number 1 in KeSPA (Korea e-Sports Players Association), reigning for 17 months. His fresh start in StarCraft 2 is as anticipated as the game itself.
Razer and the Terran Emperor
In 2011, Lim Yo-Hwan joined the elite lineup of Team Razer. “I have always been a fan of Razer’s mice,” says The Terran Emperor, ” I’ve always played with a great level of comfort and precision when using the Razer DeathAdder. Ever since then, I’ve been using that for training, practice games and tournaments. I made the strategic choice in joining Team Razer in order to maximize my style and always be in top shape in every game.”
Lim Yo-Hwan currently competes in professional StarCraft 2 games. He is also starting his own StarCraft 2 team named “SlayerS”. With his reputation, entertaining style of play, his renewed vigor for success and legions of fans behind him, Lim Yo-Hwan’s move to StarCraft 2 will add excitement and fierce competitiveness to the game.
Lim Yo-Hwan now strives to boost his momentum in the StarCraft 2 scene. The arrival of StarCraft 2 has presented him with the opportunity to again take the professional gaming world by storm. He plans to revolutionize the game again through his exciting and creative style of play. And through this, Lim Yo-Hwan plans to add more victories and fame to his living legacy as a professional gamer.
One thing is for sure though, with his promise of redemption, and his exodus to the sequel, Lim Yo-Hwan, the “Terran Emperor” has returned.
