This post is about Happy: 안호진 은퇴......라고 알고 있는데(일본으로 다시 공부하러?) 맞나요?/(그래도 iem 보니깐 정종현/최병현 건재한데 그래도 2명 뿐이란건...... 플토는 6명이나 되는데.)
It would be nice if someone could translate it.
Google translate says that he returns back to Japan for study.

Find it hard to believe Happy was removed. Probably a mistake.
|
wait wat? Killer changes his name to SWAGGER? D:

Losira's name change should be forbidden. Ban him form all tournaments until he changes back.
Also team MVP.. Swagger, I don't know... okay if you want that kind of effect. But duckdeok, super, Nakseo and billowy? That sounds retarded tbh.
|
SKT T1 has another zerg to ruin. Their zerg line up is pretty large now.
|
Name changes should be illegal -_-
|
Good to hear we finally know what happend to Happy o0. I was about to call Europol on that one.
|
Sad that Choya is no longer on roster. But sC is the man, so it is okay.
|
Yay DiMano is back!
but True isn't?
|
Happy
|
Happy was actually an engineering student in Japan before becoming a progamer, so yep hes gone back to japan to study

sC is back and ready to play! He already all killed in the ATC qualifier so he still has some of his sc2 skill retained
|
Apparently, there is no such thing as too many terrible name-changes. Where is the name-changing coach?!
|
This name changes feel a lil trolly..
Killer -> Swagger lmao

(Wiki)Prime added: Barbie In before MKP changes his ID to Ken, lol.
At least not as many name changes as Kespa, but still: why??

SotG's reaction to Killer's namechange to Swagger:

edit: would put image into spoiler tag, but that messes up formating... :-/
|
Goddamn, can the memo get out to relatively/fairly well-known progamers to stop changing their damn tags. It's getting ridiculous (looking at you Princess Major- Juan, whatthefuckever).
|
wtf... thanks for this, I would be utterly confused if I hadn't seen this thread. Also, anyone know why the players are doing this?

|
IM are also missing Ready according to that source.
I'm not sure whether not being on the GSTL roster means no longer playing. Why wouldn't they register them if they weren't on the roster? It's not like they are forced into turning up in the studio, and most of those removed haven't played games in a while.

Wow didn`t expect Happy. Also didn`t know he was studying in Japan. Best of luck to him though! I am sure he weighed the options and made the correct choice for himself.
|
Am I the only one who thinks the name changes are all crap?
Hurricane is so much less original than Tear, unless it's because of the tear (like crying) or tear (like a piece of paper) distinction issue.
KangHo I get cause it's his name but Losira is still better.
Don't get me started on MVP as a team. They're all terrible. Killer and Monster aren't original, but NAKSEO and Swagger?! Man. There needs to be some kind of committee to prevent bad name changes.
|
Apparently Artosis still hasn't done his conference to the korean pros explaining the importance of their nicknames.... *sigh* (this is killing esports!!)
|
Happy (((((((( (ironic)
|
On the plus side, with IM's terran lineup so depleted, they might decide to call in Fenix for a cameo .

NO HAPPY! D:
IMSad
Too bad about True and DreamerTT as well. I thought those two would break out some day in code A. Guess it's finally time to trim the fat at the IM house.
Alive and Puma gogo >_>
they need more terrans.
|
Wow I didn't know that about Happy. I guess good luck to him in the great beyond of studying. I'll always remember his semi final run...and his failed 2 rax.
|
Killer changed his name to Swagger...
LOL
He is the only one who could pull that off.
Edit: Also, Losira-cat will always be Losira-cat to me. KangHo is a fine name too.

Tear didn't know about tear having two meanings and got teased about crying all the time so he changed his ID to end this. :D

He wears the LG-IM uniform, and has been announced as a member of the team.

Holy shit. These name changes are all incredibly bad. Swagger? KangHo? Wtf guys...I always liked Esf players names.
|
Why can't Korean just stay with their ID... I don't understand why they don't have the same bond to an ID that most westerner have.
I mean, I personally never changed my ID. That ID is just who I am on the Internet since 15 years.
|
Well, Koreans are much closer to real sportsmen than Western progamers, who are still, for all intents and purposes, nerds on the Internet. Koreans identify players by their real life name, and IDs are just merely to distinguish one guy from another in the game UI and on the ladder. They're not really attached to it I guess. Speaking of ladder, everybody is a barcode account in Korea, so they effectively never use/are called by their IDs in their day to day life.
Losira actually switched to his real name, it probably makes more sense to him. Many Korean progamers have their names as IDs in fact: Jaedong, MC, JYP, Suho(shin), Hyun, YongHwa, etc..etc...
I actually wouldn't mind if all their IDs were just their real names :D JungHoonKingPrime fighting :D
|
I guess Blizzard was on to something when they limited us to only 1 name change...
|
If the Code S Finals are between Swagger and Billowy I will die of happiness.
|
noooooo why LosirA is changed? It's one of the best name in eSports scene!
|
|
lol @ MVPSwagger xD But I'm sad about IMHappy.

I guess IMnotHappy about Happy leaving and I agree with the others, why the MvP name changes hahaha XD thank goodness DRG didn't change HIS name 
And I wonder if Barbie is any good, just because Prime
|
Noooo Happy! D: Was wondering what happened to him. Good for him with the studying and all, but gonna miss him on the IM bench.
|
Heard about this in SoTG...Sangho and his killer name-changes ahahahahha.
I hope he changes it soon ._.
|
Unaccomplished players changing their name, I really don't have a problem with. They just want a new start.
btw Galaxy left MVP because of school.
Nakseo=doodle (graffiti?) in Korean duckdeok is just finale making a nickname from his korean name. No clue what the hell billowy is lol

I wonder what part of Japan Happy is studying in? I'm going to miss the name Losira, I liked the sound of it. Killer changing his name to Swagger is pretty funny.

The sentence is basicall:
happy, did he retire... (to go back to Japan for study?), right?//(Though MVP/Yoda are strong, but only 2 is..... they've got 6 toss.)
Well, it's just assumption, and is not useful information at all.
