the correct pronunciation is:
know-knee for Nony
tie-lur for Tyler
eye-draw for Idra

all of the other pronunciations are either people copying artosis (who just fails at saying it right) or people bugging Nony and Idra by mispronouncing it on purpose.

Actually nony himself pronounces it new knee but the better question is why does he pronounce it like that?

NONY THATS ALL I WANT TO KNOW? New Knee makes no sense from a pronunciation standpoint and it doesn't sound as awesome. Would you mind explaining?

Like the i in hill.


That's because of Artosis changing Idra's name all by himself lol



Yeah, sadly. His name comes from the word idrajit which is some indian god i think it was. And he shortened it himself to idra, so it should be pronounced with a short i, like magdain said.

It's "Nony", not "Nony".
Try using both Irradiate and Defensive Matrix on an Overlord. It looks pretty neat.

Even if I might be wrong, I like to say them as :

"Tie-ler" and "No-knee"

I also say Idra as "Eye-dra" :D

Can someone confirm or deny this? Maybe this was just a joke but I've never heard a more plausible explanation.

EDIT: NonY > Tyler !!!

If you.... stop and think about it... you should be able to determine whether that's realistic or if it was a good opportunity for a silly joke...

There was a thread here a few months ago about where TL users got their names... I've heard sillier reasons there.

Is it just me, or is that comedy gold right there? Whoever said Idra doesn't joke around, is clearly wrong

Alright so now Nony is known as Tyler. On liquipedia they say Tee-ler, on TLAttack they pronounce it like that, but i was watching his MLG Raleigh packing video and he said Tie-ler.

I am also confused if it is New-nee or No-nee.

And to throw it in there, does Idra say his name with a long i or a short i.


Where did you see that video?

I always have thought "No-knee"
But then again I thought "ih-dra" as well.

Being wrong is not a good feeling most of the time
