Progamers, in private, use profane words. Swearing words, describing certain strategies and sorts. Among them was the word "gang gan", meaning rape. The progamers use the word "gang gan", just as we use the word 'rape' to describe one-sided matches. However, you have to understand that in Korea, the use of such word is generally much more frowned upon. You know, culture difference. So, the word 'gang gan' transformed into a word 'gwan gang' which sounds similar(though really not), but has a totally different meaning. 'gwan gang' means tourism. And the one who leads people into "tourism" by a "tourist bus" would be named the "bus driver". This idea came right out after the match between oov and goodfriend in nostalgia, where oov led goodfriend into "tourism" with 200 wraiths, when goodfriend was defending with goliath and turrets. There came to be many photoshopped images, where oov is driving a bus, and goodfriend as one of the passengers. (We all have seen that picture once or twice). A couple nicknames shown here, not sure if you have them already: | ||

So yea, awkward. That is what Gorush said in an interview. He probably meant DDR as Dance Dance Revolution, but DDR is also a slang for masterbation and netizens have been making fun of it ever since | ||

Modesty is the zerg technician because his zvz is so much better than his other matchups, so he specializes in beating zergs, in fact in china he has the name zerg betrayer since he only beats zergs. Similarly, skyhigh used to be the terran betrayer for his super good tvt, and pure was the toss betrayer (this is chinese nicks) Hwasin used to be called princess i believe, for his girlish looks Flash= when he first entered the scene he was the little monster, and he earned the nickname chedder terran when he cheesed out bisu early on Iris= Sexy terran, also note that berserker is not only his nickname but also his former ID nada=otter terran Reach=hero toss Stork's full nickname should be "commander in chief with no weak points" (it sound better in asian languages i guess) | ||
