Not really worth it's own thread in the other sections

Are (Z)KIMDONGWOO and (P)GARIMTO related? They're the only players to use ALL CAPS names, and they have the same last name/firstpartoffirstname.
edit: just asking, since I saw the name on the TLPD, and thought it sounded awfully familiar to Garimto's. Just a friendly question.

Thanks,

Luxury and YellOw[ArnC] are related and they don't have the same first part of their first name, I don't see how it indicates any relation.

No.

Garimto = Kim dong soo.

Also, please don't be fucking ignorant in the future.
I mean seriously? You though that KIMDONGWOO and GARIMTO might be the same person because they have Kim [ wow never thought Koreans used Kim as a family name ] as a shared last name and they type in caps? If you're gonna follow the progaming scene at least recognize there are a lot of people with progamer licenses and its not unlikely for them to share family names. Especially an incredibly popular one like Kim.

Also: http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/players/36_GARIMTO

So again, this blog was fucking stupid. It tells you Garimto's name in the TLPD.

Yes, because I asked if they were related, it must clearly mean I was dumb enough to ask if they're the same person. Kim is common no shit, but ALL CAPS NAMES LIKE THIS and Kim Dong are not. This would all be nice except it seems like nobody else in the entire korean scene feels the need to CAPITALIZE THEIR NAMES LIKE THIS. Obviously Luxury and Yarnc, Jinnam and JinsOo are related, so they must be the same people eh?

Kim Dong Woo vs Kim Dong Soo. They don't *just* share a family name, seeing as Kim isn't the only common character between the two names. If one is not familiar with Korean naming conventions, its a reasonable question to ask whether they're related, in addition to the similarities in their handle. Maybe its a bit of a shallow thread, but honestly, where else could it be asked? Didn't warrant the abuse, IMO.

You're fucking retarded.

Way to ignore everything I said. The pattern for Korean names is [Family name, Name] the Name part can be two such as nal_rA name: Kang Min, or it can be like Garimto's: Kim Dong Soo.

The fact that two people's name stars with Kim Dong means absolutely nothing regarding family relation.

Are you seriously trying to argue that all caps in a game handle is a similarity worth noting if you're trying to guess their identity?

This is like saying John Jacob Smith and Josh Jacob Smith are related if they are both x profession.

wow we have such fucking detectives on this site

Hey look kid, Korean naming convention goes either Family name, GENERATION NAME, name or Family name, name, GENERATION name. It's no coincidence that jinnam and jinsoo share a jin. Nor is it that Chansoo and Myungsoo share a soo. Get a clue. And you call other people "fucking idiots' for not knowing korean naming conventions?

Edit: Oh look some random korean on wikipedia, and his brothers and sons. Oh what they all share a part of their name that isn't their last name? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chung_Ju-yung#Brothers

Get a clue? I'm Korean, don't waste time lecturing me on how Korean names work lol.

Your blog post was shitty, even for a blog post. It was pretty much on the same level as a image-only blog OP. Why do you refuse to acknowledge that you actually used caps a common factor in trying to sleuth possible family relations, oh wait probably because its wildly retarded.
