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". | ||

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. | ||
