    Ruler is a banger ass name and I won't have you slandering it. Also, all the cool E-sports names are either korean players or Chinese players. My favorite nonsense Esports name is MLXG, which was the pinyin abreveation for "spicy hot-pot". ALso MLGX looked like he had literally never had food in his life and played like an absolute psychopath, which I respect.

        Still absolutely fuming that they lost to T1. Especially after their rumoured roster-price of $16 million and Knight finally winning worlds after being one of the best fucking chinese players for 3 years.

          It annoyed me that T1 3-0ed the final I'm sick of T1

      Faker isn't a good name, but the guy made it work since day 1. Still a lot better than "Bung" which was apparently Ruler's first idea for a name.

        He was named Bung for a while, I'm pretty sure.

        Idk I think Faker's pretty cool, but maybe that's just cause I've been associating the name with the GOAT for a whole decade now.

    I remember there was a player who name was like little dick but they made him change it for a big tournament

      There was a player in the Chinese LoL League whose name was "Pinus" iirc and the English commentators (who were Australians) exclusively referred to him as "P-Diddy" on official broadcasts.

        It was Crisp, who just lost the world finals on WBG, that used to be called Pinus

      I mean, League of Legends had some bangers in the early days, like Lilballz, the world champion from Taiwan, or BigFatJiji, the NA midlaner also from Taiwan originally.
