I'm pretty sure his ID is Mensol and his clan tag is Zero...

So do we just call him Zero because we were confused early on, and now we're too used to it to fix the mistake?

Anyway, Kim Myung Woon Fighting ^_^

Yea. This is what I've always said in the beginning but everyone is like "no, he's Zero!" GOM, OSL, and foreign tournaments have always listed him as Mensol (which is probably the nickname he/the koreans provided to them).

Being able to tell between their korean names and usernames is hard enough. Now they do this. t_t

What's your source for being pretty sure? Why do you think his nick is Mensol and not Zero? I thought the reverse was already stated.

The source is the tournaments showing his nickname as Mensol. For Jin Young Soo, they showed Hwasin. For zero's nickname, they showed Mensol. GOM and other events have also done this in the past.

Everytime his profile is on Korean TV, his ID is stated as Mensol

Honestly, I think Zero is a cooler name than Mensol so I prefer using it. I suppose if Mensol is his actual name it should be used instead.

I honestly remember this being the exact opposite and people confused it to be Mensol before he was known..

I mean, it makes sense too to assume that zero is the clan in Mensol[Zero] so thats why there was confusion, idk maybe I'm just being a retard.

edit: google leads me to believe that MenSol is indeed the clan as I found lots of players with that as their clan tag, but maybe they're fans?

김명운 is his actual name. Mensol is his actual gamer tag. Big difference there

Found an old post about a clan tourney:

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=48300

Mensol is listed as one of the clans, seems reasonable enough to me since there doesn't seem to be any mention of a clan Zero.

I think he might be in both MenSol and [Zero] if you people are sure that [Zero] is the clantag. I have seen the tag MenSol quite a few times before but have never heard of nor seen [Zero].

During GOM, I'm pretty sure Tasteless said something along the lines of his name originally being Zero, with Mensol being the clan, then for whatever reason, he dropped the Zero, and just went by his clan name. And there was much talk about it being a lady hygiene product.

I've never seen him use anything but MenSol[Zero] in-game, I think he just submits that as his ID and they assume Zero is the clan tag since it's in the typical position of one.

And that seemed to be the assumption made by people in LR threads as well in his earlier games so I'm not sure exactly when he started being called Zero.

Mensol blows, I don't understand why the coach decides to risk an ace match vs a top team on the hands of some mediocre zerg.

Should have sent free.... atleast they would have had a bigger chance.


A note on a non-Zero replay:

I don't know where people here are getting their info, but the clan is most definitely Mensol. It just gets a bit confusing because the clan tag is Mensol[id], similar to GosI[id]. He is zero of the Mensol clan.

edit: if you need evidence, do a ygosu or yaoyuan replay search for "mensol" and take a look at the different names that come up. Mensol[Zero], Mensol[Zerg], Mensol[Ryu], etc.

This isn't the first time there's been id/clan confusion. I remember TT just called himself Ever) after a while because of all the mix-ups.
