You're wrong about Jaedong, I think. Instead, one of the Chinese commentators is called 大师...

Here's a good list.

(T)Mind = 卖淫的

I straight cracked up. One day I hope to make a blog about what 卖淫is in the Chinese starcraft community as I've had some valuable personal experiences with it. It's a much funnier meme than anything the English community has come up with imo.

a sidenote on flash, mind, and sea:

Flash = jiao zhu = pope/cult leader
Sea = you hu fa = the right cleric (hu fa can mean cleric or guard)
Mind = zuo hu fa = the left cleric

the religion is terran "wei suo" or turtling
