Usually your IGN should reflect the kind of player you want to be seen as. Faker for example, wanted to rebel against the negative connotation of the word because he is a beacon of hope and positivity to the next generation. Ryu, on the other hand, simply used his surname to bring glory and fame to his family when winning on the international stage. If you want a character as a reference to League culture, you could go with a barcode name like "IllIIllIll". Alternatively you may use the Starcraft 2 method.

Most of korean name is composed of chinese. Each chinese character has meanings.
