![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/CFhZk.jpg) Thanks to community for sharing the pic. <3 BW.
The Revolutionist.
The Maestro.
The Final Boss.
Names like these are earned through domination of the opponent or having a unique style of play. However, nicknames such as these can only be given by the community. So, I began to wonder - what other nicknames have the community donned certain players? What's the reasoning behind some of these names?
So, the purpose of this thread is the following:
(1) List out the nicknames you know for progamers (foreign or korean - present or ancient)
(2) If there are any nicknames you don't understand, ask about them! I'm sure there's a great story behind it and someone can fill you in.
(3) If you want, try to see how many nicknames you can name without outside assistance and post your scores here.
So, here's a listing of the progamer nicknames. I'll keep this updated, eh.

I'm not sure if Magikarp is an "official" nickname for HiyA. Lomo was known as Bubblegum Terran.
Will work on remembering more.

Modesty is the Zerg Technician.
Xellos is also the DDR terran(cmon guys, I expected this one to be one of the first)
Effort is the Alien.

He will forever stay Chintoss in my heart, whatever the surgery did to him.
Besides, Jaedong used to be the Legend Killer also.
*Edit : Comment about chintoss was in reply to an edited comment*
