ESPORTS Trivia

This was originally a beta key contest won by Psycho_Gemini. However I feel the questions may still be fun for those out there that may want to test their ESPORTS knowledge. The questions are still up and I have gone ahead and posted the answers so you can check yourself instead of PMing me. Good luck.

+ Show Spoiler [TRIVIA SECTION] +
+ Show Spoiler [QUESTIONS] +
SECTION 1: PROGAMERS // Provide the name of the progamer I am asking about.
1) Which Progamer accidentally typed the Korean equivalent of "FUCK" (씨발) during a televised game?
2) Which Protoss Dragon is still eligible to earn the title of Royal Roader?
3) Which Progamer is recognized to have invented the optical flare + spider mine build?
4) Which Terran Progamer was eliminated in group stages, requalified in a wildcard tiebreaker, and eventually went on to win his first and only individual title?
5) Which Progamer is arguably the king of golf?

SECTION 2: NICKNAMES // Provide the ID of the progamer with the following nickname and give a brief description on how he earned it.
6) Watermelon Zerg
7) DDR Terran
8) Cheater Terran
9) Insurance Terran
10) Devil Toss

SECTION 3: MISCELLANEOUS // Answer all parts of the following questions.
11) During what game was the phrase "EE HAN TIMING" popularized? What was the series of events that caused it to be said?
12) What is the Silver build? Why is it unfeasible in the vast majority of maps?
13) What does TL call the spell that costs Defilers 150 energy? What does TL call the unit that needs a Robotics Support Bay to build? Should be spelled incorrectly haha.
14) According to pro-commentator Klazart, what is the Bisu build?
15) Which two active progamers are known registered members of TeamLiquid?

+ Show Spoiler [ANSWERS] +
1) (P)Chalrenge
+ Show Spoiler +
On October 16th, 2006, KTF MagicNs and OGN Sparkyz had gone into a SKY Proleague match. With the score 2-0 for sparkyz, KTF and Sparkyz head into the 2v2. The match is Reach and a KTF Zerg against Chalrenge and Side. KTF manages to win the game, but right before the final "GG", Chalrenge decides to leave a little note: 아놔 씨발 = Ah Fuck! (source)

2) (P)free
+ Show Spoiler +
The other original dragons were all in at least one OSL. They are Bisu (3rd place 2007 Ever), Best (2nd place 2008 Ever), Stork (1st place 2008 Incruit), Kal (2008 Incruit), and Jangbi (2009 Ever). It is debated whether Movie and Much should be considered Dragons. However, they both have been in OSLs (Movie 2nd place 2009 Ever and Much in 2008 Incruit). Free has yet to qualify for an OSL.

3) (T)UpMaGiC
+ Show Spoiler +
Bisu vs UpMaGiC on Monty Hall - 2007-06-19 Shinhan07 Proleague. Upmagic tried to push with a mech army supported by medics flaring observers. Ended up losing the game but the strategy became a novelty.

4) (T)Casy
+ Show Spoiler +
[R&S] Shinhan Season 1 OSL. You can see Casy got eliminated in the Round of 24 and requalified through wildcard tiebreakers. He then went on to win the Shinhan 1 OSL but faded into obscurity soon after.

5) (Z)GoRush
+ Show Spoiler +
Winner of the You Are the Golf King MSL

6) (Z)July
+ Show Spoiler +
Dressed up in green and colored his hair red during Gilette OSL finals. Combined with his chubby physique, made him look like a watermelon. (source)

7) (T)XellOs
+ Show Spoiler +
Ongamenet had this program where they visit progame teams. While they were visiting GO's house, they found a whiteboard that said "If Xellos restrains from DDR, he wins OSL~~" Now there are two meanings of DDR. The dancing game "Dance Dance Revolution," and masturbation "Ddal Ddal Re." Some said Xellos probably is a dance game addict, but everyone knew that Xellos probably jacks off every night instead of practicing. Additionaly GoRush wrote in his profile that he respects Xellos the most because his "night work." Anyways, after that Xellos was named DDR Terran. (source)

8) (T)iloveoov
+ Show Spoiler +
The fact that the sheer number of units suggested that he hacked earned him the nickname 'Cheater Terran'. (source)

9) (T)Hwasin
+ Show Spoiler +
Bisu dubbed him "Insurance Terran" and claimed that he would qualify every time if Hwasin was in his group.

10) (P)Kingdom
+ Show Spoiler +
Many accepted answers for this one. One is that he was an expert at the Devil Probe technique (worker harassment with probe's superior range). Another was that he had "devilish" micro with Protoss units. Another was the following quote:
Firstly, when he was little he would always root for the bad guy over the good guy; he would always try to be the opposite. And secondly
Well let’s see… it probably started around the Hanbit Tourney… I think it was Jong ill-hoon who SaiD it First I guess that’s how nicknames Start usually. At First it was weird but after a while I wanted it to have a strong impression so I worked harder
-Park Yong Wook

11) Jaedong vs Stork. Game 2 of Ever 2007 OSL Finals.

12) ZvT build where you start by expanding to opponent's natural. Only works on Monty Hall.
