"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.
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.
For anyone interested...SACSCRI or 싹쓸이 means to "sweep everything or monopolize " or "an act of taking all or eliminating all" according to Naver Korean-English Dictionary
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.
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."
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.
'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
He is a caster not an artist. clearly shadowraidfirebatlegends2.....hero...killer.....ultimatexxxMan firebathero. wtf.. iI's fireBAD thats what it is. It would literally be better just to call himself firebat instead of firefail. Emotional dama....
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.
'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.
@@Supergoon1989 You just contradicted yourself. Tasteless is funny because it comes across like the guy you're playing is a douchebag. Which is usually how most players are.
Slayers_`Boxer` is the best name because it's original and the playstyle matched it. I hope they won't allow anyone ever to copy that name who competes in Starcraft.
@@EyeOfTheKing1 zero sounds a lot worse than hero. zero should be D tier. hero actually brings to mind something that might actually be good and special. I get that it's overused, though.
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
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.
I just rolled my eyes when he put firebathero in S tier, I assumed after that point hes either joking or his opinion is just completely meaningless on this.
I love Larva. I used to watch his streams when he was young, living alone in the room and doing crazy things. Now he is streaming like he is enjoying his family and kid. Also gained a lot of weight, but still crazy good zerg player.. 🙂
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 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.
I thought Artosis was a D tier name because I thought it the literal copy/paste name of a Protoss character in broodwar until I found out it was a wholly original name, which makes it absolutely S tier
Great, now we need a tier list where they do a list together and we see them debate over choices. Ngl, Artosis sounds like a spell cast by a protoss unit. Or a zerg upgrade (Gamete Meiosis).
consider that many of us don't speak English fluently, and so a word that we 'think' sounds cool to a Korean audience doesn't sound as cool towards a foreign audience.
Scasri means 'sweep' or 'monopolize' something like those mean. Also quite minor but also long lived cleaning tools name. But he wrote the Korean Roman alphabet wrong.
Know this was long ago, but damn, whrrr the love for rating the OG legends of SCBW? Boxer, Yellow, Julyzerg, GARIMTO, Grrrr…, Nal_rA, iloveoov, nada, savior (regardless of drama), and ofc the absolute godly Mantoss himself, the enigmatic [Oops]Reach.. god tier ID btw

It sounds like a canonical protoss name to me. It's really close to Artanis
@@napalmbukakke Also if you rearrange the letters it spells Airtoss
Artosis should be a sickness name for anger issues due to NaCl overdose.
Did he really say that? That's absolutely hilarious!
@@mr.t7846 lol yeah he actually did. Go on the 'tastelessTV' RUclips channel and click on the recent vid where he rates all the pro-gamer names.
“Not many people call themselves Zero.”
Are you kidding? Everyone calls themselves Zero

ZeroCool
shit loads of ppl in RPGS call themselfs zero ...
You also have the Smash player who called themselves Zero
Also famously zzzero, the BSL founder
Tasteless vs Artosis? The end of times are near...
Tasteless better go nexus first
I was just wondering if they ever played each other. Do they not?
Need a show match
@@sdfasdfasdfasdf42 Artosis is the better player for sure. And I say that as a very bias Protoss.
He just wanted to be called Tear, which is a better ID than eyewater I guess. Language barriers are rough.
Eye-rain
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

I think Boxer is an amazing name. There is fighting AND the act of boxing/selecting units in the game.
and the dog :)
That's also a majestic dog breed
As well as the Boxer Rebellion
@@zurat5515 it's more proper to call it The Boxer Uprising.
‘Slayers-Boxer’ is bad ass as a name.

zraknul sounds like a dark templar
I didn't make the name for starcraft, but that could definitely work.
"clever"?..
@@k0st34ka it means "marked by wit or ingenuity"
I think Bisu is the best ID ever made. I don’t know why. It’s fun to say.
Short for Biggest gosu, so that checks out
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.
His name is Bisu, he uses the DTs to sneak up on people and shank them in the liver, it's just great.
Definitely one of the best names to say. Bisu is a good name to say and cool too
'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
It's also the drug used in Brave New World used to keep the population in check.
Bonus points for being a zerg.
This guy etymologies
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.
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
He put Zer0 is S and I almost closed the video
"I don't like names after units in the game

Both of you are A, and you only get to S by merging into Tastosis

One of the occasions I mostly agree with Artosis :D
Very good analysis of player IDs.
>hero - bs id, many players use it, D rank
>zero - so unique and individual, definitely S
the brilliancy of this man's mind never stops to amase me
Zero is at the very most an A
Bowsersbigcastle the best id
my guy hasn't played zero escape
@@EyeOfTheKing1 zero sounds a lot worse than hero. zero should be D tier. hero actually brings to mind something that might actually be good and special. I get that it's overused, though.
Loved this content! Hoping you guys do sc2 IDs next!!
I prefer Queen to ZerO. IDs that are named after units/structures in game make casts confusing and I love it
both ranking IDs are invalid cause boxer wasnt in it
I loled so much when he discussed the difference between his id and tasteless
Soma is the name of the drug in that book Brave New World
This was incredibly entertaining thank you for the video.

Larva is a great name. Unit in the game and unlimited potential.
Agree! Thought Larva should have been S rank. One of my favorite ID's for sure.
Makes sense. The Terran overthinks and the chad Protoss doesn’t care. Their IDs are literally perfect.
Sincerely,
- A Terran player of 20 years -.-
-Hero, so bland and over used - D
-Shuttle, naming yourself after a SC unit bleh - D
-FirebatHero, OMG so amazing - S
I just rolled my eyes when he put firebathero in S tier, I assumed after that point hes either joking or his opinion is just completely meaningless on this.
NGL "Artosis" is the MOST Protoss sounding name I have ever heard.
I love Larva. I used to watch his streams when he was young, living alone in the room and doing crazy things. Now he is streaming like he is enjoying his family and kid. Also gained a lot of weight, but still crazy good zerg player.. 🙂
My id was Testosterran. Best id possible for a terran.
OK, now we have to wait for Scan to chime in, I'd really like to see his tierlist, maybe he knows even more about the origin stories.
Act of war or pure stupidity. Best sentence ever
Bro that little small story about how they got their name and Artosis said he planned for this moment 24 years ago is fucking gold
I still think silent_control is probably one of the coolest names I've seen. Even if silent_ was the clan tag forever ago.
There is literally NOTHING stopping a TasteTosis Show Match Series against each other.
Artosis is better at SC1 than Tasteless. And Tasteless is better at casting. Thats how they balance themselves.
I still want to know who would win in a fist fight and will continue to ask about it
Now I think my next ID should be Mutmut
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.
Eyewater is the literal translation of "tears." Which is fitting bc he's a 'Toss player.

He always plays the band Queen as his BGM which is pretty good.

I laughed much harder than I should have. Arty roasting up player name choice is great.
Can we get a bo7 tasteless vs artosis show match already
I notice the video ended before the poll results were counted 👀
I thought Artosis was a D tier name because I thought it the literal copy/paste name of a Protoss character in broodwar until I found out it was a wholly original name, which makes it absolutely S tier
As a Hwaseung fan, shoutout to PerfectMan what a throwback. They used him a bunch too lmao, their A Team Protoss
I will say Tasteless is 100% better than Artosis, BUT Artosis tier list is much better.
"light is common" C
"Flash is great" A
Flash is pretty common too
Great, now we need a tier list where they do a list together and we see them debate over choices.
Ngl, Artosis sounds like a spell cast by a protoss unit. Or a zerg upgrade (Gamete Meiosis).
sAviOr that's the GOAT id.
There is the caster called Artosis, then there is the player called Artrosis.
Google the second if you don't understand.
when you talk about the capitalization and the bookending of the the royal ID , it reminds me of the business card scene in American psycho.
Can't believe Tinkle and Organ aren't on this list.
Do Koreans choose their gamertags by blindfolding themselves and throwing a dart at the english dictionary picking a random word?
consider that many of us don't speak English fluently, and so a word that we 'think' sounds cool to a Korean audience doesn't sound as cool towards a foreign audience.
"Artosis" is the moss on the tree that lets you know where the sun is.
"What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell just as sweet." -- Artosis
"a bird that isn't particularly strong"
So, this is how the online beef continues. Will their friendship survive this feud?
Scasri means 'sweep' or 'monopolize' something like those mean. Also quite minor but also long lived cleaning tools name. But he wrote the Korean Roman alphabet wrong.
And ggeamo is the name of a cartoon character that was commonly used in the 1970s and 1980s. It was often used as a nickname for friends.
WRONG
sack and mong are strong B tiers AT LEAST, maybe S tier
The best id, maybe because it isnt a player per se, but Tastosis is easily the best name I have ever heard
"Zero Effort" should be a Protoss tier name.
Perfect Man is an S tier meme ID
We know ever since Geoff dropped the "second greatest English commentator in Korea" line that you have been 2nd place to Tasteless.
Literally Zero to HerO XD
People saying BoxeR is the best ID have clearly forgotten the existence of Nal_rA. What a sick ID that is.
i go by the id fartosis. i can confirm to you its top tier and artosis would most definitely agree.
To be fair and with some hesitation: I must admit that Artosis is a brilliant ID. It is a perfect name for a brand and does sound good.
Its good because never heard that word before starcraft so it is pretty cool the names ppl come up with.
I remember eye water! :) When you were casting him
"Artosis" is the GOAT nickname. I have always thought of that. Sounds great.
Absolutely!
Sounds like a disease
Will you do some SC2 Casting at any point? I really like your casting, but I only consume SC2 content.
I have to agree with your logic.
Rain was called By.Sun , bad nick.
Zero is a top Smash player and lots of people call themselves Zero because of Megaman Zero. Have to demote.
10/10 content
artosis brags about opening the dictionary but continues for more than 25yrs to pronounce zealot incorrectly lol

I've always thought Tasteless is a great alias I have to admit
Dan, the professional Hearthstone player?? THAT Dan? everyone knows him!
Effort uses a 0 (zero), I think there might be a second layer to his name as zero effort or effortless (like gg ez).
Soma is a hallusinogen from old hindu texts. No one really knows what was in it or if its a real thing. Its enigmatic and cool imo.
