"Whenever I hear 'Artosis' I always think it sounds like the doctors are telling me "you've got to stay in and rest a little bit; you've got Artosis" it kind of sounds a little bit diseasey. It sounds like something your body would get with age. Age, not AIDS. Maybe AIDS too, actually" - Tasteless.

He just wanted to be called Tear, which is a better ID than eyewater I guess. Language barriers are rough.

[@mikeshivak]

Eye-rain

[@yaboykirby7789]

eye water is the literal translation since the Korean word for tear isn't tear but uses the word for eye and the word for water. Kinda funny how that's technically the right translation but sounds terrible lol Honestly I thought the name eyewater fit Shuttle very well. Ridiculous, goofy, direct and to the point aswell as the sheer charisma needed to rock such a name. Every other pro player gets a tap on the shoulder and gets told "hey that name isn't the best translation" and the bloke changes it. Shuttle walks into the English casting booth and taps them on the shoulder to say "hey call me Eyewater" then jumps into the game with Shuttle as his ID.

'soma' means BODY in Greek. think of the word 'somatic': of the body, used in DND to refer to spells that require bodily motion to cast. 'psychosomatic': physical (body) symptoms originating from the mind. 'chromosome': chroma (color) and soma (body). there is also a great game called "SOMA" about what it means to have a body, highly recommend soma is god-tier name

[@Freesqare]

It's also the drug used in Brave New World used to keep the population in check.

[@Zraknul]

Bonus points for being a zerg.

[@sleeper1855]

This guy etymologies

[@mostevil1082]

Also the name of the drug in Huxleys brave new world. In turn taken from an ancient Indian ritual drink. It's a rabbit hole.

[@yaboykirby7789]

iirc Soma's name comes from something to do with Jaedong. It's two seperate words (so and ma) and he talked about it somewhere

[@Zraknul]

Artosis is clearly a Protoss name. Original, clever, a little futuristic. Tasteless is right there with Mind and Sharp, it's a description of his play. Probably doing a bunker rush or 4 pool.

[@uero-ro]

Completely agree that Artosis has the Artanis-type Protoss vibe. I don't think it detracts from it, it feels in-universe. I think unlike Mind and Sharp, Tasteless is self-deprecating / diminutive name, which makes it more similar to calling yourself sOrry. Think about it how it feels when you lose to someone named sOrry as losing to someone named Tasteless compared to losing to someone named Sharp. The only thing counteracting the self-deprecating name is that the just the first letter is capitalized which makes it feel like a title, e.g. imagine if his name was "tasteless."

[@woreyour]

zraknul sounds like a dark templar

[@Zraknul]

I didn't make the name for starcraft, but that could definitely work.

[@k0st34ka]

Hmmm going back to the old days… Boxer is a sweet name (SlayerS_’BoxeR’). I also love Grrr (XDS~GRRR). Also props for iloveoov. A lot of the old guys had their clan tag in the name, so ignoring that just call them GRRR or BoxeR.

[@molochtauren4685]

both ranking IDs are invalid cause boxer wasnt in it

[@invisiblemenproduction]

I think Bisu is the best ID ever made. I don’t know why. It’s fun to say.

[@Wabbelpaddel]

Short for Biggest gosu, so that checks out

[@patrickmchugh4616]

It's just perfect, elegant and simple with a meaning that fits his revolutionary DT style in the PvZ matchup. Plus his insane technical skill is analogous to a skilled knife-wielder. He isn't about brute force, but rather his incredible finesse. Just a perfect S-rank ID. Definitely the best on the list.

[@Zraknul]

His name is Bisu, he uses the DTs to sneak up on people and shank them in the liver, it's just great.

[@danieln6700]

Definitely one of the best names to say. Bisu is a good name to say and cool too

'tasteless' actually sounds worse, though. It literally means 'considered to be lacking in aesthetic judgement or to constitute inappropriate behaviour.' it's like a mild insult, why would you call yourself that?? it's like calling yourself 'scruffy' or 'gauche' ...actually ive changed my mind, gauche' actually sounds like a pretty cool ID.

As a Hwaseung fan, shoutout to PerfectMan what a throwback. They used him a bunch too lmao, their A Team Protoss

[@JBatesProductions]

You know, it'd be great to see how you rank SCBW players through all time. Not sure if you'd go with the most "important" players (i.e. Boxer, Bisu, Reach, people who uplifted the game and the scene) or the "most skilled" players (Obviously Flash, but Bisu, Jaedong, etc) or if you'd go "greatest accomplishments" (Flash Jaedong Nada Oov Savior). But I think that'd be a video where you could explain a lot of intricacies of what happened, why people were good, what metas the game had, etc. Nal_Ra, Yellow, and Stork should fit in one of those categories, too.

[@BCTvfx]

Larva is a great name. Unit in the game and unlimited potential.

[@sandyovals]

Agree! Thought Larva should have been S rank. One of my favorite ID's for sure.

[@cwjalexx]

For me, the only 3 names I would have in S-tier would be soulkey, bisu, and maybe soma. I generally don't like any common 1 word english names as IDs. My least favorite ID from a BW pro I think would be Britney. Eyewater is equally as bad as well. I can tell you the worst BW team name...that was when KTF changed their name to "Fingerboom" for like a week before they changed it back.

[@Era_0411]

Eyewater is the literal translation of "tears." Which is fitting bc he's a 'Toss player.

[@cwjalexx]

@@Era_0411 I don't doubt it. It has that 'lost in translation' awkwardness to it. If I were a pro gamer that wanted an ID in a foreign language, I would ask a native speaker if it was weird or awkward sounding. Shuttle could have literally asked any native English speaker about "eyewater" and they would have told them it's a terrible and awkward ID. If you're just a random newb playing online that's one thing, but if you're a pro gamer you know that your matches are going to be broadcasted and commentated and you have to think about this stuff.

[@chrisc7265]

"Fingerboom" LOOOOL, is this what inspired the South Park episode?

[@mrbearmouse9031]

I see a lot of hate towards Firebathero's ID, so I want to even the odds a little bit. I think it's a great ID and an easy S. It has a punch, it shows the player can be a little cheeky and a showman which also fits FBH's personality. Firebats are not used all the time (you're not a bland Marinehero) but in specific situations, they can be the chad units. If some unit in the game should be a hero, it certainly should be a firebat. Props to him

[@novapulser9396]

Gamo deals with Marriage in Greek & has an indo-european etymology to it... I MIGHT be wrong, but in certain dialects I think it can mean or relate to sex/fucking too. Just saying. For my alias I had so many that I tried & made up in other languages or in Old English and stuff (LoTR levels of thought went into some of them). But I have felt for a long time that *'Cronkonium'* - i.e. turning my name into an element has felt the most natural & yet also felt very specific to me. Did that right around the turn of the century/millennium before I even started even liking science too - maybe it was the science fiction that still drew me towards it, plus I was only 8 in April 2000.
