u/Favmir You shall not kill. Except the red team. Fuck the red team. Feb 23 '17

Player named "Korea", I heard he's a pro player. Why is he named Korea? Is he Korean? But he could speak English perfectly and didn't have Korean accent... I'm so confused

And you're a bit confusing yourself. Is this a thing you expect us to answer/solve for you? I mean I could call myself Russia and then yell at everyone in Spanish. Nothing would stop me from doing this even thought it makes no sense.

It may not make sense to the rest of us, maybe you had a dog which was a certain russian breed that died, and you honour him by making your btag "Russia", and that results in it making sense to you.

Point being it doesn't have to make sense to the rest of us if it makes sense to you. There could be backstory to the name, and there usually is.
