    Ever since he changed his name, I've had this massive massive blind spot. It wasn't until he played Nada that it registered in my brain: "Oh Marine, like Terran Marine and not like Marine World". I guess I just thought it was something like Ocean King and didn't translate well. 
     
    Did this happen to anyone else or was this a unique form of brain damage?

    I'm fine with that. If this thread finds no kindred spirits and is just me confessing to being ignorant, I'll at least feel better admitting it.

    Wow, yea thats pretty bad. You must have been zoned out or not seen all his early stuff. Like all they talked about for the first couple weeks after he hit big was how he only makes marines.  
     
    He countered Banelings with Marines! crazy

    " Well he has been known for his high usage of the basic units, i.e. Marines. It's pretty much why he chose that name. "
    This. I thought it was pretty obvious.

    He was BoxeR (fake Boxer, not to be confused with SlayerS_Boxer) in Season 2. Got to the finals but lost 4-3 to NesTea.

    Yup!  Same here, Noodles.  I thought real Boxer might have changed his name.

    Wait, I thought I heard on State of the Game awhile back that he changed his name to Optimus after joining the Prime team, thus creating one amazing name combo.  Did he change it again?

    Do you watch the games with no sound or something? Like others have said artosis/tasteless always go off on how marines are the only unit he needs to win and thus why hes the marine king... Like they explicitly said why his name was marine king lol.

    I don't know. I guess whenever I first heard it, I thought it was just something that sounded cool in Korean. Like "Into the rainbow"...  
     
    It's important we clarify I am in no way trying to excuse or defend that position, ha ha. Even the great Killface has his blindspots.

    @BlaineBlaine:  Don't worry, this happened to me, too.  Though it didn't take 2 months to figure out, more like 2 weeks.  But still!

    I want him to win a tourney, just so that he'll call himself OptimusPrime (Prime being the clan name, Optimus being the most baller name for said clan ever.
