Checked the original source, apparently Hyun is the mother of zergs, hence literally "mother zerg"

Afaik this was the first time the nickname was ever mentioned...

I also just remembered from doing a translation of this interview that Hyun is referred to as "mom" (妈) for whatever reason. Can anyone shed some light on this?

It's a nickname that Sea gave him, "mother of zergs", "mother zerg", "mom".

You seem to take a lot of the translations very literally. It's really not worth the effort. I translated it for fun and amusement. A lot of times it's just about getting what you feel is the similar term in the other language is, rather than literal translation.


Actually I never meant to use mine as a substitute for yours, but rather an extra description. In my opinion, reading in Chinese is funnier because of the choice of words used. For example, if when read "god of greed", I didn't laugh but when I saw神偷 I cracked up. Or how "万年第二" is different from "万年老二“ . For someone who never heard those terms before, it was very much funnier reading the chinese versions.

It's just like how exploding head is way funnier than what it actually means , which is afro head.

Hence, I'm trying to let others understand and laugh more at the choice of words used by them. It's like the difference between "noobie" and "My grandmother can beat him drunk".


Please send me a PM of any song you like that I most probably never heard of! I am looking for people to chat about writing and producing music | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noD-bsOcxuU |

Well, almost all of the nicknames came from Yu Xiaogang, a very famous and respected BW commentator in China, and he has a nickname "the starcraft Master of Asian-Pacific Region", because he is famous for his research and predictions on starcraft.

Many of the nicknames of the Korean players descrebing their game style, and many other are just for fun and easy to remember, coz it difficult to remember a Korean name or the English ID for Chinese people, and I think it is one kind of localization.

there is, the nickname of calm is "脑虫" or “卡姆”, the previous one means that his is very good at zerg using and controling just like the overlord, and the latter one is just a similar sound to "calm", but some other times we also translate its original meaning "冷静"。

Well, that is the literal translation, in fact, when we say "脑虫", we mean that he is a player playing games with his effective strategies.
