It depends on how/what you name it. Calling something <person>'s XvX build isn't too bad. It's honest, it's the BO you do in whatever match up. So http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=189624 seems entirely reasonable. You're not really naming the build entirely, just describing it.

Explicitly naming a build, either after yourself (the Tastelss build is an exception) or with some non-descriptive name is just annoying and stupid. If the build is worthy of being named then people will name it as a community.

I think its interesting since really, most people who have self titled builds are people who do it themselves which makes it slightly conceited. For example, I always told this to Lzgamer about how he did the silly reaper rush, everyone knows thats where it relaly became invented and popularized but it was never really known as the Lz build, it was just the mass reaper, reaper all in, 6 racks reaper, etc, build.

Meanwhile you have people like FaZe who purposley stated that he wanted something named after him hence the void ray fazing. Then theres "The Gretorp build" in early/mid beta for PvT, which was just a marine ghost sorta play. "The Cauthonluck Build" which I suppose was more of a root thing that designated the build that name.

It really does vary, but I think every build should have a generic name, not named after someone unless its actually revolutionary ie: Bisu build, Flash build, etc.

I refer to build first done/popularized by a very high level player by the player's name sometimes even if it's not clear that they came up with it. It's fun and stylish.

The only real Tasteless build is a cannon rush btw.

trying to get away with naming unit bombing after yourself was incredibly arrogant and stupid. like what, trying to take advantage of all the newbies in SC2 to make a name for yourself? it annoyed me even more that Day9 decided to do an entire episode about it.

I hope you're not confusing me with Stalife

I never did such thing sir.

But I do agree with you there.

Griffith naming the magic box after himself and Stalife naming unit bombing after himself are both absolutely ridiculous.

Not original =[
