It might have rooted from his red glasses.

And the sniper part comes from him taking out the other team's ace?

Pretty sure it's referring to one of his TvZ games where he dropped the Z main, got his drop mostly slaughtered, but barely managed to take out the Evolution Chamber by some leet lurker dodging with his last two marines. I guess he was playing as red, although I can't recall.

As for Tyrant, it's a great name. Suitably powerful and intimitating.

I always thought Red Sniper meant he was a TvZ specialist, as red is often thought of as zerg.

Yup he had red glasses and also he was a TvZ sniper back in the day (and he gave Savior a helluva run).

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've ALWAYS thought of Protoss as green, Terran as Blue and Zerg as red. It made perfect sense to me that he was the Red Sniper, because he was a TvZ specialist and a Zerg sniper. Maybe it's just me and my way of thinking.

Tyrant makes sense to me. Jaedong is undoubtedly the ruler of the swarm right now and all other zerg progamers are his minions. When they rise to fight against him, he crushes them mercilessly (Jaedong's insane ZvZ record)

Tyrant sounds pretty badass, although Legend Killer (JD's other nickname) is slightly higher up in badassery.

As for lame nicknames, TIME ATTACKER (ForGG) is just so funny. And we can't forget BLACK MAGICIAN (CuteAngeL).

By the way, what's GGPlay's nickname again? I swear I read somewhere that it was "Man of Virtue."

On the contrary, The Tyrant was given by the OSL crew not the MSL crew.

Jaedong has 3 nicknames, the Tyrant, Legend Killer and the God of Destruction.

Is so obvious why his Hwasin's name is Red Sniper.......

IMO, the best nicknames are the God of War (July), the Revolutionist (Bisu), and the Emperor (Boxer). They all seem to fit perfectly. Stork, undoubtably, has the funniest nicknames though, with Dinotoss and Birdtoss :D.
