Okay so this is weird but when I was a lot younger I was into Halo. A lot of people may have heard about or watched the series Red vs. Blue. In that show there's a group of mercenaries that have code names or whatever and each one is named for a U.S. state. My favorite character is named York. I really like one-syllable names and so I started using that as my name for just about everything. Once I got into Starcraft, even though my halo playing RvB watching days were over I kept using the name. I suppose the funny part of this story is that "York" was taken on TL so I had to change it. Unfortunately the guy who has my name joined in 2005 posted a grand total of three times, and promptly left. So although I am Yorkie on here, my name is York in SC2 :D

OG_BLHViper - because I was bad to begin with and I liked Husky's series so I just started calling myself the original Bronze League Hero. Viper was my nickname at the time

As for my TL name: Well the showstealer is ironic and the numbers are Guernsey numbers of a couple of my favourite players from sporting history (Matthew Lloyd for the Essendon AFL team = 18. Ian Harvey when he played for the Australian Cricket Team = 29)

I was hoping for some obscure reference to a masked man who jumped on stage and stole the show in that given year

Necroxion was my World of Warcraft name. Everyone in vent used to shorten it to Nex. Hence my SC2 name.

I could've gone for a US President Andrew Jackson joke but I'm not that funny

My SC2 name is a clever play on my last name invented by one of my friends at a party about 7 years ago..
My TL name was random as hell... Couldn't think of anything else
