EPTKal's nick according to TLPD is Red Shuttle. Where does this come from? If you could lay a source on me I would appreciate it very very much, but simply the origin will suffice.
Thanks.

it was because he was able to keep alive his shuttle extremly long and mostly it was that in beging he lost lot of shutle health in stupid way but when it got red he was extremly careful | ||

Shameless self-plugging: I recommend you educate yourself on Kal with my not-so-old (though probably too old to bump, so i suggest you dont) article on him, The Many Faces of Kal (I speak about this nickname in "The Badass" subsection.)  | ||

People always saw him running around with shuttles whose health was in the red, thats all.

Thank you very much. I have appreciated every post of yours I've seen. No more activity in this thread is necessary. EDIT: It is bumpworthy. I am engage in not such vulgar habits, but I recommend the read. | ||

Oh well, I told people not to, but I'm not complaining :-p On January 10 2010 20:32 ddengster wrote: What about hwasin, the red sniper?

Hwasin is certainly a zerg sniper, though his other matchups are certainly extremely high caliber. He has been granted a nickname supporting his sniping skills because he excels particularly at noticing a player's weak points and exploiting them. He is not only a zerg sniper, but he achieves this by sniping (if you will) individual zerg's unfortunate habits and deficiencies. He is truly the sniper. This post is wholly off topic. I just wanted to add something to an above poster. Locking this thread would be sweet. | ||

Why do people insist on repeating the same shit? Oh I know, because they want +1 post. But you already have 20,000+ posts. So why are you doing it? Well that's easily answered too: you have 20,000 posts because you don't read threads before you post in them. To the OP: stop complaining about it being "bumped. The post is less than a day old. If that's your definition of bumping, then TL is basically bump-mania. If nobody ever posted anything in any thread that had a valid answer, then the forum would be mostly dead. This is also in blogs, and since it has some factual information in it it is already better than 99% of the other threads in this subforum. | ||

(even though lately we see him wearing black or contacts more often) But he IS super good vs Zerg Sexiest early to midgame timings and control ever. Flash has got nothing on him:-p(sorry pal for keeping this blog alive, but there is conversation to make!) | ||
