SLayerS_ was a clan tag.

In China, late 1800s early 1900s, there was a group of people called The Fists of Righteous Harmony, that were known to foreigners as "Boxers" because they practiced martial arts.


You're right about Boxer's being a chinese movement but you really don't want to argue with me about where Lim got his name.

Hold up a second... how come you guys say "Lim Yo-Hwan"? It's Im.

&#47548; = Lim
&#51076; = Im

As it is, all VODs state Im, as well as his documentaries... etc...

I share the same last name... *dances around*
I was thinking about joining a debate club, but I was talked out of it.

uh... i don't think korean font shows up on this board. in that case... ascii!

Z| = Lim
[]

O| = Im
[]

Since Z = "L", | = "ee", [] = "m", it's lim.
Since O = no consonant, | = "ee", [] = "m", it's Im.

And everywhere I go, I see the O instead of the Z.
(Sorry, not actually Z, but closest english letter that resembles the actual character... )

I can explain garimto's "ssregitoss" name: "ssregi" is korean for "garbage", so ssregitoss = garbage toss or trash toss. He was far from it, though!
people are similar in nature. its the experience of life that makes them so different.

and i think fish eye could be something related to a fish eye lense used with video camera's. they sort of see everything, could be that he is expressing how observent of a person he is :\

i got a couple

why reach? such a weird verb to have ur name as.

why blackman? got a thing for african people?

what the hell is arang? it sure does sound nifty.

A type of music~ I don't really know the word, but like there's sonatas, odes etc


suker ( maybe he likes to suck the cack? ), smurf?

Maybe it's after the football player?


i've also wondered what NTT stood for, and what happened to that biatch.

Entitity. Retired.


as for those of you that see boobs when looking at oov, yall watch far too much porn and or need to get laid.

In Japanese it means steal, is this possible?

I don't know abot Terato though.


Terrato was a Titan (Earth elemental) in Final Fantasy VI, although according to Google there is also a Terrato in Pokemon.

Eji..I think it's a Japanese word.


I couldn't find anything on it.

Eiji and Eji are japanese names -.- I don't remember what they mean though ^^

Before you post, set encoding to korean and it will show up.

Anyways, yes it really is Im, however it's oftenwise written as Lim since, I think, it looks more familiar to foreigners + it's quite close to how it's pronounced. Bak-> Park same thing I guess..

I thought Boxer got his SlayerS part because he really like that anime. Also Xellos is a character in the SlayerS anime as well and the Progamer Xellos was using the mousepad with the anime character on it.

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-_-;;


ZergLee = Lee Chang Hoon
Kingdom's nickname used to be SM_ToYa until he changed it because it sounds fucked?

He used both -,- I just think he got better known under the Kingdom ID and stuck with it

Isn't Elky short for Elkantar, I think he was even mentioned in some report by Grrrr... many years ago when Grrrr... visited France for some tourney. I think it was mentioned that Grrrr went into Elky's base with a few unsieged tanks and killed him or something like that

And Smuft was LustedSmurf before or am I wrong?

And I REALLY don't think that progamers get their names in a different way than any other player


I can't believe noone else remembered the nickname Elkantar...
