SirActionSlacks compiled a list of the worst nicknames in the Dota 2 pro scene

The nickname itself isn’t that bad, but you need some context. iceiceice chose this nickname in honor of another famous player, like a StarCraft player named Ice. Then another iceice appeared in Dota after iceiceice. I know that iceice is a The International champion and a good player, but do you let Daryl have more “ice” in his nickname after winning The International?

Look, I know that ATF is a well-known nickname now. And I know it’s a Dota tradition to name yourself after someone like Ceb, who played under the nickname 7ckngMad. But what are you going to tell your great-grandchildren, as an 80-year-old man, about your career: “Oh yeah, little Billy, my nickname was FUCKER.”

Fun fact: he wasn’t epileptic, and he wasn’t a kid. He was a grown man.

There might have been a translation issue here, but he called himself PiPi, for crying out loud.

I think there’s something wrong with the translation here. How are we supposed to comment on your games? What’s the point of calling yourself cat feces [Translates from English as “cat feces.” — Ed.]?
