How can liking/disliking of a nickname be country specific? Unless it's to do with bigotry towards Muslims, of course. Which wouldn't surprise me for a lot of people. Huk just seemed outclassed there. I like where he's trying to go with his PvT but it needs work. Demu's macro was super solid though. Hardly missed a beat. | ||

HuK's PvT just doesn't look very solid and Crank's PvT looks rock solid. His TvT is probably his best matchup. In general though he's just super solid. TvZ was always his weakest. | ||

Personally, the silliest is a nickname the more I like it even if there are some exceptions like Titan or NightEnd. Ah, it depends. Mvp is fine for me because he kind of WAS the MVP of WoL. MMA is such a baller I allow his tenuous relationship to mixed martial arts to be his nick, and MC is his name so that gets a pass too. Not sure if that series was WP by Demuslim or pretty badly played by Huk, or somewhere in between but nice to see the UK's finest advance to the winner's match. Incidentally, Demu still hasn't been crowned our top dog. I propose another TB-endorsed War of the Roses, that was pretty fun last time | ||

The silliest name is TheStC because it's literally supposed to be TheStarCraft. | ||

He is not a muslim. Muhammed Ali happened to be a muslim. I don't even see the connection between liking a boxing champion and calling yourself "demuslim". Who referred to Ali as "that muslim"? or "da muslim"? or even "the muslim?" It's a bad name because it brings in a whole bunch of politically/racially charged connotation on an ID for a pasty white kid from the UK. I much prefer words chosen seemingly at random by Korean players. At least those words are blank slates with minimal connotation and are usually abstract enough. Many are probably chosen for their aesthetically pleasing phonemes. Demuslim is just a multisyllable abomination that is, at best, misleading and childish, and at worst, patently offensive. | ||

The first tournament that really got me into the SC2 pro-scene was Dreamhack Summer 2011, seeing Huk win that tournament was incredible, now-days he just seems like an instant write-off, I really hope he can find his winning days form again. | ||

How is it offensive? Is Sangho a murderer? In that case, how dare he patently falsely advertise himself by calling himself Killer! | ||
