I've had quite a few, experimenting with everything from like anagrams of my real name, and a bunch of random names that i made up to be unique, 'xeqwist' for example. But I have settled with WedRine which basically is just Red Wine with switched letters. I really like red wine. :3

my old name was notgoingdt

this was back in 1g expand in wol against zerg edit: 3 gate expo, basically start of 2011

I would go fast double gas, fast double zealot, purposely let the drone scout in, and then I would say "notgoingdt".

I would proceed to do a 1 star double voidray into fast double-expand, which destroyed fast thirds in the old 3 queen max meta, especially since you couldnt get a spore to the third with the 12 second burrow time, and 100/100 overseers. Then when they switch to must kill protoss mode, when they scout the third, they would usually forget about spores and a nicely timed 6 dt troll would end the game with the zerg screaming

Just to add to the insult, I decided to switch my name to notgoingdt to add to the rage/irony/whatever

I use the handle 'TopRamen' because of sentimental/nostalgic reasons, I didn't actually come up with the name.

My late uncle came up with the names 'TopRamen' and 'CupOnoodles' way back in the day.
My dad thought it was pretty funny and used 'TopRamen' for a while (and so did my mom

) before switching to 'CupOnoodles'.

Now i'm 'TopRamen' (since my dad is now CupOnoodles), like a strange hand-me-down gamer tag thing.

Armada Vega
Armada in English refers to an armada of ships or a large army or group of ships. Armada is also a first name in Europe.
Vega is the brightest star in the constellation of Lyra.
Vega comes from Arabic ( al nasr ) "al wāqi" translated variously as "the eagle of the desert" or "the falling vulture."
Vega exists as a last name in spain,

So Armada Vega has 3 meanings.
- An armada of desert eagles, or an armada of diving vultures
- Armada /Vega are both first and last names and thus looks like an actual persons name
- Vega also refers to a Star in our galaxy

The name also sounds very sci-fi. So I kept the name and haven't changed it.

I mained mr. game and watch in melee, his signature attack involves the number "9", and he's an 8-bit character, thus 9-bit. Nowadays I'm just using "iloveoov" because I don't like 9-bit, but I can't just imitate someone else for the rest of my life, need a new name soon.

I first created my name for a my first character in Morrowind, since I was really into metal back then, and still am, I wanted a name that vaguely reflected that. after giving it a bit of thought I came up with "metallic" and "snake" (my Chinese zodiac animal) and merged it into "Talicsnake." The name "Talic" is also the name of one of the ancients in Diablo 2. Pretty cheesy origins but I think it has a good ring to it.

Talic is a fucking pimp with that red armour, man.

I took "Sanctuary" as my name because I dunno. I wanted 1 word that was a noun, so boom. I was noob as fuck at BW so I just made funny names and played BGH when I wasn't getting raped on teh ICCUP. In Counterstrike I used to use Fopar. What a sick name that was... it just sounds like a shooter name, but it's ain't really an SC2 name.

Just something my friends and I always used to say in DotA to piss each other/ other people off xD. Yes this was before SC2 and SeleCT using it, but we definitely didn't create it. My SC2 name is just a shorter version of my dogs name because my dog is awesome!

I've just had this name since I can remember. Started in Diablo 2 as HOLYTORNADOS. It just stuck.
