I watched Jaedong vs flash, the most recent game, and I noticed a Korean fan holding up a banner with mutalisks wing on it. The chinese characters(koreans use few of them) on it reads "Tyrant" is that true? :D

I believe I've seen him called the tyrant a few times before. I think I even heard tasteless say it in reference to him, so yeah, I think that is one of his nicknames.

Why?

I think it is cool.

Edit: But, to be fair, he could be 'the fluffy bunny' and my zerg fanboyism would make me find a way to think that was cool, so maybe I'm not the best judge.

I think most nicknames have more to do with play style than with the way somebody looks.

With a few notable exceptions.

In comparison to progamers like CuteAngel or Leta he does look like a Tyrant

when names like "monster" "tushin" etc alreayd exist, tyrant sounds unoriginal and dumb to me.

I imagine it was given by MBCgame, who has a history of giving out fucking retarded aliases (Red Sniper anyone?)

Red sniper still makes me laugh so hard, what could they possibly refer to with that? Was Hwasin a sniper in the communist army? It just doesn't make sense.

I'd imagine it was his red hair + one good MU (at the time).
