I heard that IntotheRainbow uses the nick as a form of respect for his mentor IntotheRain.

Mabbe Kingdom played some other games before and derived his nick from there. Kingdom Hearts? (guessing)

I suspect that zerglee's real name starts with Lee. And since he plays zerg, combined becomes zerglee.


As far as I remember he doesn't have Lee in his name.. But not sure-_-;;


He's name is Lee chang-hoon.
and joyo means 'give me' [dak]joyo means 'give me chicken'.

Oh right ;( I only remembered Chang-Hoon part of his name (I thought he was Kim Chang Hoon-.-)

It's time to explain to the noobz how Boxer got his name.

We all know that Slayer was a great player back in the day.

Boxer's old name was gonia.

One day, gonia fought "Slayer" in a boxing match.

CONCLUSION: gonia changes name to Boxer.

kthx

Ddang means land.
Anyone with the ID Lee has the last name Lee. (ZergLee, Lee)
Nada means 'I am'
Mumyung means anonymous, not famous, no name
Nal_rA means his clan+the Sun God, but it also means to 'fly'.
Chojja means 'chobo'
Jju, I don't know. There is no Korean word matching this, unless it is related to some sound or something.

Xellos is also a character from the animation Slayer, but he said that it was from a mousepad. When he was filling in the form for joining YGClan, he didn't have a nickname and saw Xellos on his mousepad.

Junwi is a character from the Chinese classic The Three Kingdoms. Almost all the Koreans read it once in our own language and most of us like it a lot. Junwi (I don't know his name in Chinese...is it Chuan Wei or something?) is the general who protects Cao Cao from getting killed by covering all the arrows pointed at Cao Cao with his whole body.

Sync is an English word. So is Kos. I don't know abot Terato though.
ForU is 'For You'
HOT_Forever...HOT is a boy band group in Korea.
Jinsu/Jinnam is his name. Mingu too. Kyo also is, but in a cute, abbreviated way.
Siva is the god in India (As I know), but it also is a curse word, although I don't think his ID is for that.
Doggi is not doggystyle. It means an axe.
Shinya can be of many meanings, but I think he's mentioning a city in The Three Kingdoms, where Liu Bei stays and finds Zhu Geliang.
Eji..I think it's a Japanese word.
Pusan is a port city in Korea, 2nd biggest next to Seoul.

Sir@Soni is a kind of snake, so is Salmosa. Sir@Soni is also famous for a character in a famous drama 'Yain Sidae'.
Yellow and Silver are colors.

Tossgirl is Tossgirl because she played Protoss for a long time

If anybody has played ''Abe's Oddysey'' they'd know the evil slug things with guns and a half-mechanical body are called sligs. Slig was taken on battle.net, so I made it cute with Sliggy.

1. It was Dian Wei, he saved Cao Cao's life because some stupid people invaded Wan Castle and ambushed him
2. Siva is also an ice goddess from FF games
3. Never heard of a city called Shin Ya from ROTK....

P.S I USED TO BE A BIG THREE KINGDOMS FAN. PLEASE PM ME IF YOU WANT TO DISCUSS ABOUT IT!
I got none.....

Shinya is the Korean way to say it. There must be a Chinese (Original) way to say it. Koreans and Chinese have different pronounciation and that makes a big difference
