EPTNote that some players are simply referred to by their names. Others as "brother <insert name>", i.e. firebathero as "brother fire". So I'm leaving those out.
The Sect of Turtling 猥琐神教
Sect Leader:
Flash 教主Left-hand man:
Mind 左使/护法Right-hand man:
Sea 右使/护法Note 0: The idea originated from the days of Flash's anti-carrier build and kicking Stork's ass. Some guy even made a song on the topic. And cemented their positions. Page 4 has a quick translation of the topic.
Note 1: Mind and Sea are usually called by their ids. Whereas Flash is always referred to as Sect Leader. Sea is also called "Big Head Sea".
Note 2: Other terrans would "join" the sect whenever their play becomes really, really turtlish. But Flash, Mind, and Sea are the established leaders of the religion for their consistent macro-oriented play
Edit: Bogus apparently belongs in the sect too.
SKT1 Special : Fan Bing Bing
![[image loading]](http://image.xinmin.cn/2009/01/04/20090104125328928955.jpg)
Fan Bing Bing is a Chinese actress. Her initials are F.B.B. I'm sure SKT1 fans can guess the connection quite quickly.
Fantasy: Crown Prince - seemingly self-explanatory 太子，范太子Best: Beast - self-explanatory 禽兽
Bisu: Master Bi(pronounced Bee)必老爷Had an old nick "Mr. Ximen" 西门大官人 that doesn't seem to be used anymore. Story in spoilers to not take up space.
+ Show Spoiler +
The name refers to a minor but well known character in the Water Margin. In one back story, that of Wu Song, his older brother's wife cheated on him with a rich guy. That guy was Mr. Ximen. If you want to know more about the story, google "Pan Jin Lian" or "Pan Jinlian" should yield the stories.
This small story kind of took off later on, and was used as plot for several porn films. And apparently some guy realized that the actor who played in one looked a lot like Bisu.

And that's the origin of why Bisu was often called Mr. Ximen, or Bonjwa Ximen. The character's name does tend to allude to lewd behavior of screwing a married woman, hence why it's so funny when spoken in Chinese.

Note: The term FBB, almost always used in proleague matches, was mainly back in the days when SKT1 was dominating and Fantasy/Bisu/Best pretty much owned. There was a short time when Fantasy and best got into slumps, while Canata played really well. And so Canata/Bisu then formed a short-lived "Bai Chi" team. Which means the 'idiot team'. Not really to discredit Canata and Bisu, but I think they just had to find another Chinese term that matches the initials of T1 players playing well.
The Bonjwas 本座
s2: The Retarded Bonjwa. Retarded in Chinese starts with the sound "s" 傻本FrOzean: crappy angel, crappy bonjwa. 菜天使，菜本Odin: Pig Bonjwa. This title has since been passed on to Juni since his retirement. Yes, people can be quite mean... 猪本
The dragons
Stork: Stone(Stork's pronunciation is similar to Chinese pronunciation of stone, plus it describes his style as very safe and hard to counter), Flawless Commander, "Number Two for Ten Thousand Years" - passed down from a certain zerg who was originally "Number Two for Ten Thousand Years" 万年老二，无缺点总司令，石头free - "Brother Light". Long background. It actually has nothing to do with Light the player. Light refers to a board user to was basically the only true free fan back when free was in purgatory with Hanbit. He would talk about how awesome free was when no one else cared. So free's Chinese nick actually has 0% to do with his play or Korean name. Lately his new nick has been "Mistress Light", due to his new moniker pretty. 灯哥，灯娘JangBi - Zhang Fei, the Chinese name for Jangbi. Usually used in conjunction with adjectives that describe a great attacker for both his style and that of his namesake. 张飞Kal - Nothing. They call him Kal... That said, for Kal fans, the Chinese name the PvZ BO where the protoss goes Stargate->Robo->Reaver->Templar style as the Kal BuildMuch: old dragon 老龙
Other terrans
sKyHigh: 4-ugly: Can't remember the exactly the exact ones, but I believe ugly micro, ugly macro, ugly game sense, ugly looks.... whoever came up with this one probably wasn't a fan. 
四差人族BoxeR: Old Man Bao, Bao hyung 老包，包哥Really: Bastard Child - due to his estro days when he keeps getting sent to ace matches and losing. Hence, he must be the coach's bastard child to get such favorable treatment. Other players have also been known to be called bastards if they get sent to ace matches and losing. Zero and great I believe were known to also be called this at times 私生子Edit(additions by others):
Light: AK-Light, or Passerby Light. Differentiating between his SL play and PL play, as well as his TvZ vs TvP.Leta: 如花(pronounced ru hua) literally translates to "Like a Flower". The character was from a Chinese comedy movie. Pics below. Open at your own risk.+ Show Spoiler +

Other Protosses
Nal_rA: Da-Ma, which sound similar to Nal_ra. The name denotes a way of calling an older woman whom you respect a lot. I'm not sure what's a good English term for it. But suffice to say that despite the gender alteration, it's a nickname that shows a lot of respect and love. 大妈. Note that White_ra is called White Da-Ma in China, a nickname based off of Nal_ra. 白大妈Reach: Hero Protoss. No explanation necessary.Movie: Teacher Chen. 陈老师 Thanks for Emlary(post below) for the origin of the term:
I'm pretty sure Movie got his Chinese nickname Teacher Chen not because of his look but the porn photo scandal of Hong Kong pop star Edision Chen. The similarity is "Movie" and how Edison Chen loved to film his sex life into actual movie tapes. And "Teacher" is for sarcasm.
Horang2: More well known in China than he should be given that he went to one of their tournaments. Because he was so young then, commentators usually call him "little friend Horang". Also, the number 2 spoken in Chinese also sounds the same as a term for screwing up. So whenever Horang2 fails, they'd note the fact that there's a "2" at the end of his name.Edit(additions from others):
Stats - god of greed for his greedy play. 神偷Paralyze: Exploding Head 爆炸头Other Zergs
Jaedong: Demon King 大魔王EffOrt: Martian 火星sAviOr: Bonjwa Ma 马本座July: Fat guy 胖子Luxury: Older Brother 他哥Yarnc: Younger Brother 他弟
Shine: Fake Kal 假卡儿Hyuk: General hyuk or h-y-u-k pronounced. The commentators generally have somewhat of a sarcastic tone regarding overselling hyuk, due to the fact that Lx and PJ both talked about how awesome his talent is. They said hyuk's APM was mind-boggling, and he had the multi-tasking needed to text messages and play a game at the same time. 胡克大将军great: head honcho - old nick mainly due to the fact that he kept getting sent to ace matches on a team that featured Jangbi, Stork, and FBH. At first I believe it was mainly used in somewhat of sarcastic tone. Lately he's also been called turtle zerg 头牌Edit(additions by others)
by.hero: little fatKwanro: big handsome man - obviously being sarcastic 管若大帅哥 Edit 2: More additions
(P)Snow = 冰河: "Glacier", taken from the chinese name of Cygnus Hyōga from Saint Seiya.
(Z)HoGiL = 火鸡: "Turkey", Hogil and turkey in mandarin sounds similar. When he loses the commentators sometimes refer to him as being 'roasted'.
(T)HiyA = 金鱼: "Goldfish", you can hazard a guess on that one lol.
jkjk lol
