ChaosTheory.I saw this post and realised we don't have English names for some of the players that has advanced to GSL ro64, a lot of them are relatively new faces (to the TL community anyway)
I think the TL community could come up or agree upon players' English names. Also added in additional information so the process of choosing names for the players will be much easier. So here we go...'
Day 1-3
수호신 (Su Ho Shin) dictionary-> patron saint: this is an awful name for a gamer수호 means to 'protect'
신 means 'god'
Also he's name is 김(Kim) 수호
I was thinking Vishnu, but can't use it due to obvious reasons
Suggestions: The Guardian; The Protector; Godian (:D); Archgod; Suhoshin; Archangel; The Saint
My Recommendation: Horus (Egyption God of Protection, War, Sky; also his name is Su"Ho")

강지영 (Kang Ji Young) Name of the youngest member of a kpop group KaraIt would seem odd calling a gamer by a girl's name or his real name :D
Kara's 강지영's nickname is 자라 (Jara) = Tortoise (well terrapin would be the correct name but that's not what the nickname implies)
She used to pull her neck out when she got nervous on the stage
Suggestions: Jiyoung; Kang Jiyoung; Tortoise
TL Suggestion: Kara Girl
My Recommendation(s): Jara (possbily Jara Girl? Tortoise Girl)

My hair may look photoshopped but I have the same eye brows, nose and lips as the real Kang Ji Young so your point is invalid

Names that aren't 100% clear or have multiple meanings
삐삐 (Ppippi) pager; it's possible he's referring to Pippi from the animated TV series Pippi Longstocking (a lot of Koreans has watched this series, it was on TV ok? 
)My Recommendation: Pippi

Obviously this guy haven't had any sleep for a week but somehow it seems to be worth it. Plus he uses a cup instead drinking from a bottle, that's awesome.

반반쓰 (ba(r)n ba(r)n ssu ) ba(r)n ba(r)n ssu I'm guessing this means 빤빤쓰/빤쓰 from 유치빤빤쓰 'as lame/childish as panties'Could mean 'use half half' but that would be a very long shot
Also possibly a brand I do not know
So along the line of panties or underwear (triangular one)
Really not much information on this, needs clarification
![[image loading]](http://www.fomos.kr/board/interview/1286774089_1.jpg)
반반쓰 looks happy but wait until he looks at his fomos photo, where are your hands son?

Quotes: NONE
He said he will only be a 'gamer' for this year (think means as a job); He wants to enjoy playing the game and as an esport fan he knows being a programmer takes a lot of dedication (O RLY?).

I'll add additional people as they go through the qualifiers and a poll after more name suggestions are added.
EDIT: Poll Added
Day 4
즐겨찢기 (jul gyer jjit ki)It means "enjoying ripping" or "enjoying while ripping" also is reference to the word 즐겨찾기 meaning "bookmark"; Very clever young man. Apparently he's 17 in Korean. That means he's just 16 years old. He defeated JustfakeWerra in the final round. Ha, this kid just got accepted into Werra... Tough luck Justfake...
Suggestions: RipperRejoice, Find and Rip, EnjoyRip, Joy of Ripping, Ripture (Rip+Rapture)
My Recommendation: LoveRip

Quote: I do not go to school. I left school to become a progamer. + Show Spoiler +
Don't worry guys he says he's still going to do university entrance exams
코어짱 (Core Jjang)Core obvious is refering to Cybernetics Core...
Jjang means the best.
So -> (Cybernetics) Core is the best~
This is the guy I will cheer for. His dream is to be a progamer.
He struggled to become a BW gamer for two years. He has no teams currently, only practiced through Bnet ladder. Probably the biggest underdog in the tournament. Fomos tagged him as "Pure Amatuer" (no team, no pro experience), maybe this could be his chance to fulfil his dream.
Suggestions: CoreSTheBest, Invincible Core, Unbeatable Core, SureCore, PerfectCore, CoreSPefect
My Recommendation: Core JJang

It was either a life as a progamer or the greatest Korean comedian of all time
