For what I have seen on streams they are not the name of a single progamer. For example Slayers'Ming has an acc with "IIIIIIIII" some korean high ranked player also has an acc "IIIIII" and the recently famous Scarlett's main acc is also named "IIIIIIIIIII" What I am looking for is some sort of explanation why exactly they chose a hell lot of I's or small L's as their character name. Is it a dedication to someone (something?) is it just random ? Ty for reading

Even when you faced one of them on ladder and check out his match history. This way they can be 100% sure that their training partners and openings won't be revealed. A lot of proteams in Korea have a couple of these accounts that they also share. So if you meet one on ladder you never know who you are playing against
