I saw this post and realised we don't have English names for some of the players that has advanced to GSL ro64, a lot of them are relatively new faces (to the TL community anyway)
I think the TL community could come up or agree upon players' English names. Also added in additional information so the process of choosing names for the players will be much easier. So here we go...'

Day 1-3

(Z) 수호신 (Su Ho Shin) dictionary-> patron saint: this is an awful name for a gamer
수호 means to 'protect'
신 means 'god'

Also he's name is 김(Kim) 수호
I was thinking Vishnu, but can't use it due to obvious reasons

Suggestions: The Guardian; The Protector; Godian (:D); Archgod; Suhoshin; Archangel; The Saint
My Recommendation: Horus (Egyption God of Protection, War, Sky; also his name is Su"Ho")

[image loading]

That's right you can't tell if his top is on backwards or not, that's fashion

+ Show Spoiler +
Quote: I'm expecting a lot from [patch 1.2], it feels like once it is released a new era of Zerg will rise.


Poll: English Name?

Horus (101)
 
70%

Suhoshin (26)
 
18%

The Guardian (13)
 
9%

The Protector (5)
 
3%

145 total votes

Your vote: English Name?

(Vote): Horus
(Vote): The Guardian
(Vote): The Protector
(Vote): Suhoshin





(T) 강지영 (Kang Ji Young) Name of the youngest member of a kpop group Kara
It would seem odd calling a gamer by a girl's name or his real name :D

Kara's 강지영's nickname is 자라 (Jara) = Tortoise (well terrapin would be the correct name but that's not what the nickname implies)
She used to pull her neck out when she got nervous on the stage
Suggestions: Jiyoung; Kang Jiyoung; Tortoise
TL Suggestion: Kara Girl
My Recommendation(s): Jara (possbily Jara Girl? Tortoise Girl)

[image loading]
My hair may look photoshopped but I have the same eye brows, nose and lips as the real Kang Ji Young so your point is invalid

(T) 반반치킨 (Ba(r)n Ba(r)n Chicken) Term used when ordering Chicken Set: Half fried and half marinated

Suggestions: Half fried; Half Half; Best of Both Worlds; Half Half Chicken; Duochicken
TL Suggestion: Barn Chicken (Clever pun, Ban meaning half but also Barn in English, although his name doesn't mean half chicken =_=)
My Recommendation: Chicken Combo

Names that aren't 100% clear or have multiple meanings

(P)삐삐 (Ppippi) pager; it's possible he's referring to Pippi from the animated TV series Pippi Longstocking (a lot of Koreans has watched this series, it was on TV ok? )

My Recommendation: Pippi

[image loading]
Obviously this guy haven't had any sleep for a week but somehow it seems to be worth it. Plus he uses a cup instead drinking from a bottle, that's awesome.
+ Show Spoiler +
Quote: I only started playing Starcraft II for my own enjoyment but competitive spirit within me awoke. Starcraft II had consumed me. (warning heavily dramatised translation)



(P) 반반쓰 (ba(r)n ba(r)n ssu ) ba(r)n ba(r)n ssu I'm guessing this means 빤빤쓰/빤쓰 from 유치빤빤쓰 'as lame/childish as panties'
Could mean 'use half half' but that would be a very long shot
Also possibly a brand I do not know
So along the line of panties or underwear (triangular one)

Really not much information on this, needs clarification

[image loading]
반반쓰 looks happy but wait until he looks at his fomos photo, where are your hands son?
+ Show Spoiler +
Quotes: NONE
He said he will only be a 'gamer' for this year (think means as a job); He wants to enjoy playing the game and as an esport fan he knows being a programmer takes a lot of dedication (O RLY?).


My Recommendation: Banss

I'll add additional people as they go through the qualifiers and a poll after more name suggestions are added.

EDIT: Poll Added


Day 4

(P) 즐겨찢기 (jul gyer jjit ki)
It means "enjoying ripping" or "enjoying while ripping" also is reference to the word 즐겨찾기 meaning "bookmark"; Very clever young man. Apparently he's 17 in Korean. That means he's just 16 years old. He defeated JustfakeWerra in the final round. Ha, this kid just got accepted into Werra... Tough luck Justfake...

Suggestions: RipperRejoice, Find and Rip, EnjoyRip, Joy of Ripping, Ripture (Rip+Rapture)
My Recommendation: LoveRip

[image loading]

The photograph told him his hair is almost perfect, sadly this was no compliment

+ Show Spoiler +
Quote: I do not go to school. I left school to become a progamer. + Show Spoiler +
Don't worry guys he says he's still going to do university entrance exams



(P) 코어짱 (Core Jjang)
Core obvious is refering to Cybernetics Core...
Jjang means the best.
So -> (Cybernetics) Core is the best~

This is the guy I will cheer for. His dream is to be a progamer.
He struggled to become a BW gamer for two years. He has no teams currently, only practiced through Bnet ladder. Probably the biggest underdog in the tournament. Fomos tagged him as "Pure Amatuer" (no team, no pro experience), maybe this could be his chance to fulfil his dream.

Suggestions: CoreSTheBest, Invincible Core, Unbeatable Core, SureCore, PerfectCore, CoreSPefect
My Recommendation: Core JJang

[image loading]

It was either a life as a progamer or the greatest Korean comedian of all time

+ Show Spoiler +
Quote:I spent two years of my life to become a Starcraft progamer. To achieve that dream I will play Starcraft 2 seriously.

I just had to inform that Pippi Longstocking was originally created by Astrid Lindgren and is a very popular series of children books. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pippi_Longstocking

Very nice read otherwise! :D

Godammit these are the top nerds of Korea and they still dress better than 90% of europeans / americans their age.

Also Pippi Langstrump is the most awesomest thing ever.

I also recommend letting a korean doing the translations. He will have a much better feeling of what the original is trying to say and how to express it in engrish.

Yeah I know read it but that's not how Koreans remember it. In fact only reason I read it was because of exposure of the animated series when I was in Korea.

I am Korean but there is no real translation for them. A lot of Korean ids/some modern words are shortened words. like half half chicken -> short for half fried chicken/half marinated chicken
That's what makes them good ids.

What does R. Suggestion mean in the OP? I thought reader maybe but they aren't listed here.

Yeah man! The Barn Chicken Dude has a pretty cool style! Seems like my interest in fashion AND starcraft might one day be able to fuse in to a ball of fashionable nerdery. Many fo these guys would be ideal models, skinny and young. Pedobear warning

This is pretty touching, yet amusing. Good to see more individuals in here and less team members. I love the "If I have the chance, I want to face Boxer". So touching. GSL-qualified players, living the dream!

i lol´d :D

@topic: I like the idea, for the foreign community it would be much easier.
maybe someone can ask Arotsis/Tasteless to ask the players himself, maybe they can tell them the exact meaning of their name.

Um, GOMtv will assign them some romanized names, right? Pretty sure we'll be using them instead. But it's definitely a lot of fun doing that, I admit. :D Pippi, Suzy and Kara lalal
