Shuttle/YoonJoong still tend to both get mentioned. Also iirc, BaBy was called Sun in his debut game then changed to Baby.

Also if you'd consider them:
JulyZerg -> July
iloveoov -> Oov
SlayerS_`BoxeR` -> BoxeR

(TBFair I have to admit I watched the first game and about 30 seconds of the second before I turned it off, so later on if they mentioned it I can understand)


it's cause they confused fake yellow (Yellow[ArnC]) with Luxury (KTF_Practice)

they're brothers and look so much alike (though one looks younger than the other)

the thing they forgot was Hite (Yellow's team) isn't in S3 so it was technically impossible for him to be there

I always figured this was because they register into the tournament under a particular screen name and during game they switch if they feel like it because it doesn't particularly matter when you're in-game as long as they can differentiate between the two players.

For example on a much smaller scale; I know that when I go to a LAN I almost never actually use my real ID, I generally only sport it online.

Playing in person is an opportunity to deviate I suppose because then there's no question of if that's really that certain player playing where as online it would be a question of "Who the hell are you?" if you show up with a different ID.

Luxury is well known as Park Chance, so figuring out a zerg player from KTF with the name Chance is Luxury isn't that hard.

Korean don't really care about these nicks since they call their players with their korean names, rarely by the nick. And if you just use TLPD for the players, figuring out who the players are won't be very hard.
SonuvBob: Yes, the majority of TL is college-aged, and thus clearly stupid.

That's really not the problem since Korean commentators don't call them by their IDs, they call them by their Korean names. I seem to call they differentiated them by calling them Terran Lee Young Ho and Protoss Lee Young Ho.

And yes I don't want to see names butchered.

I still think all of them use their respective IDs, they just switch off with minor differences when they feel like it. I've seen Boxer use SlayerS_'BoxeR' one day and then a week later he was using BOXER and then another week later he went back to his original ID.

It's one thing if they're not famous yet, and have a stupid ID and change it to a better ID. But it does really bug me when someone who's well known and has a cool ID like Forgg or Luxury decides to change to something stupid (although I kinda like the ID Chance, especially since his name is
chan su.
Can't believe I'm still here playing this same game

I found it funny that during season 1 they had this map with a Korean name (폭풍의언덕) and translated it to Wuthering Heights, which makes absolutely no sense. Think it was the fault of some retard on TL who started it calling that way for some reason.

I fully understand the mix up BUT it is not excusable to not know which player is playing AND even once it is figured out still failing to talk about the fact that he is the second strongest zerg in the world right now and just won the msl in really entertaining fashion.

I mean in terms of entertainment value luxury vs leta (not finals) was better then jaedong vs fantasy.

They say "Chance" to the player we know as "Luxury"/"practice"?
never heard of Chance lol.

Anyway i also thing we should use their real names. its same in soccer and stuff.
eSport is a sport and real names are just more into the reality, which is what we want
