A short article in Sports Chosun on his "impressive play" and victory in his match versus the "Perfect Terran" Xellos in the MBC Game Team v Team exhibition.
I was wondering when they'd get around to it, but the Korean media have finally come up with a tentative nickname for Nazgul: "Sauron Protoss" (for his Sauron-style mass expos).
Nothing too original or catchy, but a good start nevertheless. He'll probably get a few more as he becomes more known and people are able to condense his style into a proper label. Anyway, a lot better than what ElkY's got: "Desperate Terran." (for his many desperate games where he gets pummeled for 90% of the game, only to claw his way back to win it in the end. Poor Bertrand...)

When Sauron is hiding, it's either in a forest or "hiding discreetly" in his fortress in Mordor. Or running around in spirit form after getting his ass kicked by someone and feeling sorry for himself.

The term "Sauron zerg" comes from a (bulgarian, i think) z player named ~(sauron)~ who was top ladder in the early days of bw. He was way ahead of his time.
Nowadays korea's best know "Sauron zerg" have to be )is(Side (aka Starcraft_SidE). Blackman can also be categorized as one.

I think Sauron was Korean... not sure though

I think Nazgul should be the "Watch your back Protoss" because he is Elky's room mate

Nice list. Just wanted to add a few more:
Nada: "Genius Terran." "Tornado Terran" (his best-known nick currently)
Yellow: "Storm Zerg" (the "stormy" was a mistake by iszard. Surprise, surprise.)
Boxer: "Terran Emperor" (has been and always will be...)
Reach: "Hero Toss," "Mass Toss," "Mu-Dang Toss."
TheMarine: "Noble Terran" (noble as in nobleman)
There are a few more, but too tired to write now. Will post more as I think of them ... after some sleep...

Let me move what i wrote (including my poor translation) here since this thread is more appropriate.

(How much bucks u get approximately for wearing their uniform (i remember gundam wore same one in ghemtv league.), would u tell us?) Let me translate that roughly. Victor Goossens(edit: sincere thank naz for correcting my mistypo  ) from Netherland showed impressive victory in his debut and became a topic of conversation. Goossens got a perfect victory against Suh, Ji-hoon(G.O) called 'perfect terran' in 'Gyemongsa KPGA tour team league' special match held in 28th Jan. As his nick 'Sauron toss' told, he showed his great ability of expansion and also he defended Suh, Ji-hoon's drop ship guerrila effectively, with which, he impressed lots of fans and the persons concerned. And the result of that special match is Dream team's win 3(naz, grrr, gundam won):1(Lee jae hoon won)  I wrote this and try to read that article again and failed.(that server must be down temporarily.)
