If you speak Korean, you're at a huge advantage. I can name maybe six, I'm bad at naming names in RL, so I'm going to be screwed in a foreign language.

People really should learn how to read the letters and start learning their names; it's really simple and it's a lot like English. Too many people asking who is who on livestreams -_-.

I agree. It took me 3 days of spending like 30 minutes studying the alphabet just enough for korean names to make sense. Since then I've never needed to ask who's who. I especially hate it when it has the team name next to the player name and people still ask.

I was able to recall/recognize almost everyone's true name who were active 2002~2004. (Also learnt a bit Korean with a college exchange student.) Now....I think I can only tell like 10 without searching.

People who can name 30+ are blowing my mind.

I only bothered to learn the names of the most famous and my favorite players; Stork, Bisu, Jaedong (lol), Calm, Nal_Ra, Xellos, maybe 5 more.

I got Boxer's and Jaedongs (who wouldn't).

Then again I've never referred to them by their real names so its not surprising to me... now if we were naming their player ids then I would do significantly better.

If you ask me about which names go to which progamer, it's about 6 off the top of my head. It's pretty funny because I can remember names like shin sang moon but forget that it belongs to leta.

Fun little game...interestingly enough, towards the end I found myself remembering names but not knowing which players they belonged to. A sign that these names somehow sneaked into my memory subconsciously? The ways I learn playernames are by looking them up to refer to them in articles and by seeing forum members or hearing English-speaking casters use them. Once I know a name it's easy to recognize in the Korean casts, but I don't usually learn playernames from VODs just because I don't listen hard for them.

Time to learn more names!

If it was meant to be "can read the korean characters that display their name", then its 6 for me,
Bisu, Jaedong, Stork, Leta, Flash, Savior
If its the real names in english letters such as Kim Taek Yong, Mae Jae Yoon and so on... yea... well its a LOT more for me then XD
20-30?
