Some additional nicks:

(P)Horang2 - 虎狼 tiger-wolf, this might be what it means in Korean? At least that's what it sounds like in Chinese.

(T)Sea - 大头海 big head sea. He has a big head.

(Z)Jaedong - 解冻 thawing, 激动 excited (they just sound similar)

(T)Fantasy - 范特西 named after one of Jay Chow's albums, titled "Fantasy"

(T)Canata - 加哥 Brother Canada, because Canata sounds like Canada

(Z)ZerO - 小零 little (Z)ZerO (little is almost the opposite of brother)

(T)Classic - 经典 literally means classic

Always thought (Z)EffOrt as "Mars" (it's funnier) rather than "Martian", but I guess Martian could be implied.

They called Fantasy 搔饭 as well sometimes. I can't think of a word to describe its connotative meaning at the time, but its literal meaning is "harassing fantasy", coming from his vulture plays obviously.

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.


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.


I don't think the Sun Moon and Ming are the same, but then again, this is a subject of some speculation/debate.

In relation to Starcraft, it is definitely inspired by the structures from the Jin Yong novels, and with regard to Flash, the Ming cult from Heavenly Sword and Dragon Sabre, since Flash has been compared to Zhang Wuji before, where 萎缩神功 = 九阳神功.

Yes, the origins lie with the anti Carrier build, and some guy made a post titled "Turtling Sect Promotion," with a bunch of funny song parodies with lyrics rewritten to match; they're pretty hilarious if you know Chinese;

hyuk has one of the fastest apms i've ever seen, easily over 500, his peak during his osl match with flash was 600 something i think, sometimes you can see where he uses that apm....sometimes you dont.

日 and 月 are particles for "明". I think it's pretty obvious there. There are good reasons for a change of name, but that's a debate for another day.

That song is pretty funny, lol.
