Also Myuta Risk is notable.
Korean seems to lack a "l" letter or sound?


Not really, korean can produce an L-sound, they'd have to make it Ultral-list though, then it's spoken L, not R

Koreanization of these names are retarded and some of those names koreans have no problem saying it but still changed it.

Asian blizz div fail.

rofl at pple using google translator but i guess most of us aren't koreans. but as a korean I find a lot of these names hilarious when translated back to english (based on what's given in the korean wiki link). some of my favorites (other than the "bear" we all know and love :D ) : 'pirate' for the viking, 'space collective/collector' for carrier, 'void cannon' for void ray, 'lethally poisonous bug' for baneling, 'transformer' for changeling (well i suppose 'changer' works too. synonymous :p) and 'nest-top' for spire. For the last one, when i read it, I imagined mutalisks making a nest at top of the spire and the momma mutalisk taking care of eggs to hatch on top of it while the papa mutalisk goes out to bring some workers for lunch!
