People have been calling him fake (T)BoxeR (aka (T)EllenPage, aka (P)Clare).
In the GSL interview he was asked what he would change his new name to when blizzard allows the name change soon, and that people have been calling him Foxer/Fauxer and he would be glad to change his name to something that the fans really want.

So what should we name him?

Poll: Renamed to:

Foxer (1206)
 
59%

Fauxer (676)
 
33%

Something Else (175)
 
9%

2057 total votes

Your vote: Renamed to:

(Vote): Foxer
(Vote): Fauxer
(Vote): Something Else



Faux -adjective artificial or imitation; fake: a brooch with faux pearls.


+ Show Spoiler +
obviously faux is pronounced Foe, but if we are going to call him foxer, it will make more sense if it is spelled Fauxer (but pronounced foxer), it's a hybrid of french and english, we can pronounce it however we want -We just made the damned word up

neologism

A new word or new meaning for an existing word. The high-tech field routinely creates neologisms, especially new meanings. Years ago, there was no doubt that a "mouse" referred only to a furry, little rodent.

The testiment that he beat Fruitdealer 2 - 0, should alone net him the title: The Emperor's apprentice.
WHO is this who speaks to me as though I needed his advice?

Too bad Faux is not pronounced the same as Fox, and thus changes how Fauxer is pronounced and distances it further from what it's meant to be similar to(Boxer)

Foxer doesn't mean fake boxer like FauxeR does.

Keep up the effort to get him to be FauxeR! We can actually create the first awesome progamer ID guys!
Praise the system.

Yeah, because Fauxer means fake boxer right?
Your point has no point. I vote for FoxeR.

Fauxer is quite possibly the worst looking ID i've ever seen, almost as bad as BabyByeBye.

Gotta think of how it will work for the Korean crowd as well.

My vote on Foxer, without the capital R!

It doesn't look bad. It's French! Have some class. FauxeR is so much more clever than "FoxeR".

Foxer is too simple and easy and boring. Faux as in fake/imitation. Just pronounce it like "Foxer" but spell it like FauxeR and let it be funnier that way! lighten up
Praise the system.
