i used to always play on west and all these people were like dude east is so much better than west, thats where all the good people play and stuff like that, so i practiced as much as i could on west and decided before i made my foray into the east realm and took it by storm i would need a really cool id because obviously everyone would know my name.

since i just started playing protoss i was like i want my name to be 4iur because i was leet but it was taken, so then i sat there for like 20 minutes trying to think of something to rival it, and since i couldnt. so i started thinking about my favorite people in the world, and then i remembered HovZ is just Hov with a capital Z, so i was like fuck yes and made AiurZ.

Just made this through sheer thought - I was NeedForSC for some time, and then I wanted a new ID cause all the noobs were like "LOL NEEDFORSC LOLOLOLOL" and I got really annoyed at that. So now I have several names: Midnight, Solstice, and Torrent.

But IMHO Kingdom has the best ID, and so does Nal_rA.

When I first saw Nal_rA beating the crap out of NaDa at WWI, I was like, "Damn, that guy's ID is awesome." And thus I began to follow the proleague, all because of Nal_rA. Damn awesome guy.

i was making a bnet name and thought like who are my favorite characters, so then i was like zeratul and tassadar are cool enough, and tried to combine them, so i got "zeradar". then i got tired of typing so many chars and tried something like "zdr", but that was taken, and i was trying to get other combinations of letters when my finger slipped and i got "zdd", which wasn't taken, so i've used that ever since because its easy to type (the fingers are not too close together or too far apart when typing on a qwerty keyboard). I sometimes use zdd4 or zdd5, because I can use my index finger to push those numbers at the same time as I am typing my id.

lemme guess, you screwed up your bnet skyglow1 account and had to put a 2

How do you screw up a bnet account? ~_~ No it wasn't as simple as that

Maybe I should switch back to skyglow1 on bnet.

My first ever need for an online alias was on a game at www.kweeky.net which no longer exists.

I had that moment where you can't think of a good name for shit. Looking for inspiration I typed in Kweek. But too obvious. Kwaak? Sounds stupid. Kwark? Perfect. Good but not too similar. No-one will ever know I stole it from the domain name.

gLyo is some random thing I typed in when I sigued up to TL.net. Didn't think I'd be here long.. Is there any way I can change it now?

Some other ones are: erostar (ero is porn, so: porn star), hasuran (ripoff of hasudrone, but I play T so I put ran at the end), and mad_rhetoric (stolen from Toonami).

i was in 7th or 8th grade (am a college sophomore now) and thought this would seem clever whenever i joined pub games. KAKA IM YOUR KILLER. of course i had to add LeeT CaPiTaLiZaTioN to seem more intimidating. when i picked up the game again in my senior year of highschool, i just remade this account on bnet cuz i didnt bother to think up anything else, and subsequently used this as my account name here too.

since then i've also used skt1.gorush on pgtour and now my starcraft-related username is usually joLin, after a taiwanese singer, plus i just think it looks cool when i capitalize the L in there.
