 Snow = 冰河: "Glacier", taken from the chinese name of Cygnus Hyōga from Saint Seiya. HoGiL = 火鸡: "Turkey", Hogil and turkey in mandarin sounds similar. When he loses the commentators sometimes refer to him as being 'roasted'. HiyA = 金鱼: "Goldfish", you can hazard a guess on that one lol.Iris = 性感: "Sexy", from Sexy Terran.and as mentioned before, alot of these are much more funny in chinese. | ||

 And yes, I know some stuff gets left out in translation. But still, I generally find it interesting that they nickname everyone. | ||

I think i've heard references to jing yong from some commentators, but usually refering to the sun moon holy cult from the smiling proud wanderer, specifically dong fang bu bai, but its mostly in passing. I think Flash originally got the sect leader title after he demonstrated his anti-carrier build, and flash build, I think it was during that time that his late game high upgrade timing push caused the idea of the turtle sect to be born, this was especially highlighted in his game vs zero this year where he infamously made 108 turrets. | ||

Even if there are no blood relations. Obviously the usage is discretionary depending on the locale and who's using it. But still, I think the concepts are similar for all the terms. | ||

It has been speculated that the "sun moon holy cult" and the "Ming cult" are one of the same. 日月神教 明教 Put 日月 together and you get 明. So yea, they are most likely the same. But I think in this case it's more-or-less referring to "Ming cult", which as the more elaborate structures. | ||
