Inspired by the Alternate MSL thread... why not imagine a Starcraft league with entirely new players? Some output of a first attempt to write a progamer name generating script can be found here: http://tinypaste.com/9cd9dd

Take two, mostly shorter names: http://tinypaste.com/41d3b

This is just some dictionary mangling. Actually most Korean nicknames are just plain English words, which would be easier to generate. The output more closely resembles the abominations foreigners come up with. A motivated person (not me) could likely come up with something much better.

Not to randomly hijack your blog post...but have you noticed how the names of many Korean players on ICCup tend to be complete gibberish, as if someone just mashed the keyboard and hit enter?

http://www.iccup.com/starcraft/ladder.html

tkfkdqlc, qltlwmsrlghlek, etc.

Does this have something to do with...I don't know how to phrase this..Korean keyboards? (as in, if I hit in "tkfkdqlc" on a keyboard with Korean characters enabled, I'd get an actual name that made some semblance of sense?)
