Stolen from "the swarm" a book by Frank Schätzing.

Yrr is a intelligent and pissed of species of organised single-cell organisms, who were named by a main character of the book by randomly typing on a keyboard.

I liked the method ;-)
And funny as well. I chose this nickname in 2004 and it kind of fits to sc2 (I played zerg most of the time).

I came up with this name when I was in high school playing the game Xenogears. One of the characters piloted a mech ("Gear") named Brigandier. So I just replaced "Brig" with "Myth".

As an unintended side-effect 8 out of 10 people that I play on ladder say something like, "hu hu hu, heya gandalf"...Which got old pretty fast.

Oh well.

I'll admit Chrono Trigger was amaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazing. Also one of my favourite games of all time, must have played through it over a dozen times. I was in the process of playing CC for the first time when I made my ID in 2006ish though

During the beta they did a name reset the day after I tried LSD and I thought time was very interesting.

I picked Foxyshazam because my friends and I loved the song "NO! Don't Shoot" by the band Foxyshazam in middle school. The first game I played online was World of Warcraft so I picked the name for that and just continued it into Starcraft.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Bagration

Operation Bagration was the codename for the Soviet 1944 Belorussian Strategic Offensive Operation during World War II, which cleared German forces from Belorussia and eastern Poland between 22 June and 19 August 1944.

Compared to other battles, this was by far the greatest Soviet victory in numerical terms. The German army never recovered from the materiel and manpower losses sustained during this time, having lost about a quarter of its Eastern Front manpower, similar to the percentage of loss at Stalingrad (about 20 full divisions). It must be remarked that the number of troops involved and especially personnel and material losses inflicted on the Wehrmacht was much bigger in Bagration than in Normandy.


This was the death knell to the Nazis on the Eastern Front. They were losing before, after Bagration they were just stalling for time.

I've used a few of names in games. Most notably,
Zchlade (2006-2008) (Pronounced SCHLARD-e)
Sorathez (since 2008) (Pronounced SO-ra-thez)
and aQszL (intermittently) (Pronounced AX-el, not aquisizzle as MeateX used to call me )

The first.. well I was 12 and I wanted something that sounded German
The second: Sora (japanese word for sky) + Socrates + h and z for style = Sorathez
The third: I wanted the name Axel but spelled funnily.

Not sure if sarcasm, but I'll explain anyway. The Hemorrhage ability from WoW uses that icon.

Similar to Day9, I was looking for a 1 word name because it was clean, easy to identify, and was following in the same vein as korean pro gamers. I just googled random translations from Arabic (my Mom grew up there) and saw An Najda which apparently meant "Help" according to the site I was on, so I just shortened it to Najda. Other variations include Najdaa or xNajda if Najda is taken.

I've googled it recently to confirm the meaning but I can never find anything that confirms the translation, but instead it is apparently an Arabic girl name meaning "Courage," and also I've been saying it wrong the whole time. Oh well, it's been ...7? years and I'm not changing now.

I think it's because you are trying to swarm a swarm with a swarm.

My name is Gimlet. It's a classical cocktail and my favorite one. I also like the sound of the word. Like gambit but gambit is from x man and I refuse to take a super hero name. I think it's lame.
