This I've always been interested in. Although I only know a few, for example:

JulyZerg = Because he made his acct in July, and he plays Zerg

Grrrr... = Because he wanted to resemble a leadership-image. and Grrr represents a sound of lions/tigers (leaders of the jungle)

Rekrul = Because he spelled Lurker backwards


Anyone know of any more? I'd be interested in knowing why slayers_'boxer' got his name
or what exactly does iloveoov love? (oov = ? )
chojja/nal_ra/xellos/garimto/nada/ -- do these mean anything in korean?
JJu = stand for anything?
What does [Oops] stand for?

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.

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

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.

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.

Shinya can be of many meanings, but I think he's mentioning a city in The Three Kingdoms, where Liu Bei stays and finds Zhuge Liang.

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....

afaik there's no such thing as a korean keyboard, they use exactly the same ones as foreigners do.

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.

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... )

elky was elkyaj, or elkyahj or elkyajh. dont remember which.

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.

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

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

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

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

Hell ask them how to pronounce Kim.

People didn't listen anyway when I was calm before Arb. I only got so ill-tempered because Breeze was making one jackass of a joke. It was insulting to me because rather than believing me about where Boxer got his ID or asking my credibility he only looked upon what I said as fanboy bullshit. It wasn't funny.

Btw, Bak and Iii you're right on^^, choi is more like Cheh, and Kim is more like Gihm.

THIS IS WHY HE CALLS HIMSELF LIM:

Actually, this is why many Koreans call them selves, Park, Choi, Kim, Kang [ Me and Nal_Ra ^^ ] even though they don't sound like it should in Korean:

When Koreans first built their last names, alot of them were given out by Americans and americans couldn't pronounce the names as we can. Even today if I teach someone to say a Korean word they will say it incorrectly to my ears but they themselves won't hear the incorrect pronunciation.

The names are pronounced thus in Korean [ These pronunciations are by me and I see them as most correct as I'm fluent in both ] : Park = Bahk, Choi = Chweh, Kim = Gihm, Kang = Ghang; already see the difference?

I [think] the reason he uses Lim instead of ' Eem ' is because he is accomodating for English speakers. Think about it, he might as well make it easy to pronounce if he's going to write his name with English letters.

That's the most likely reason as to why he writes his own name wrong ^^

The only one i know.

SlayerS_`BoxeR`

SlayerS_ is a clan, and a boxer is someone who boxes, as in the boxing, I guess he was trying to to compensate for being a un-athletic starcraft player.
