But no? It is pronounced as X Y.

So why does it say it's pronounced Shy on his Liquipedia page? Who was responsible for that?

It's the initials of his real name "Xiang Yao". Although he is mostly known as his old ign "half a noob" (半个菜鸟) in China.

That's probably old info, his ID is always pronounced as XY, since it stands for his name Xiang Yao.

XY is just the initial of his name, so... X Y makes perfect sence

Some guy called BLaDA.Bliitz added that in August 2013 according to the page's history.

edit: It's probably because CatsPajamas was calling him that during WCS America at that time.

Let's call him that way now, this is too good of a nickname.

This is why I love watching him lose.

Idra was far worse. You're memory is just bad. Also why do you have to be such a tool?
These sites might be of more use than a StarCraft site, where the majority of posters look on WCIII as the dense misformed fetus produced during Blizzards latest miscarrige.

Noone, I assume. You just tried to nitpick, so you went on to the internet and found one word out of which you tried to make a case for casters being wrong. Hunt yourself down, man.
