It’s actually pretty easy to guess where these kinds of nicknames came from. Some went further, like Timothy " autimatic" Ta, who mixed the world “automatic” with his real-life nickname “Tim”. Epitácio " TACO" de Melo used the way his grandmother called him, as Taco is the diminutive form of his real name. Some also simply shortened, changed or played with the sound of their first and last names: Fernando " fer" Alvarenga removed some letters, Ethan " nathE" Arnold inverted them and Martin " STYKO" Styk added one. We will quickly mention the most basic ones: Dennis " dennis" Edman, Tarik " tarik" Celik those who chose their family name like Adam " friberg" friberg and Markus " Kjaerbye" Kjaerbye those who mixed both like Kenny " kennyS" Schrub and Chris " chrisJ" de Jong and those who simply put their initials, like Jesper " JW" Wecksell or Mathias " MSL" Lauridsen (his second name is Sommer). Here is a little overview of the many nicknames used on Counter-Strike. Behind every single nickname there is a story, a personal anecdote, from the usual “I don’t have any imagination so I just used my name”, to some obscure references to a TV show that everyone has forgotten. You have to choose it carefully, even more if you’re a professional player, and you know that nickname will be shouted by the casters, sang by the fans and printed on jerseys. In a video game, a nickname is like a second name.
