Pro Names Origins

reremus

Tenz - he played COD when he was a kid, his name was ZZZZZombieZZZZZ (with 10 zs), that was changed to ten z zombie and then to Tenz (ten Z).

Shahzam - his real name is Shahzeb. When he was in elementary school his favourite teacher drew a picture of him as a superhero called Shahzam. He capitalized the Z and M in his name to troll/mess with DaZeD who he was on a team with at the time (1.6 or source, dont remember). Kept it ever since.

BLG Yosemite - Got his name from the Travis Scott song.

Cned - His older brother's tag was deNc, so it's just that backwards

FPX Autumn - Named himself after Ye Xiu, the MC of The King's Avatar

Hiko - named after a character from an anime called Rurouni Kenshin. Interestingly, Hiko has never seen this anime and only started watching anime a few years ago (despite going by this name for many years in CSGO).

Asuna - when playing CSGO with his friends he came up with the theory that an anime name and picture resulted in playing better. He picked Asuna which is a character from Sword Art Online

In Throw City’s bustling, digital land,
There stands a hero named Canadaman.
With wisdom and fairness, he keeps peace online,
Guiding the community, a beacon that shines.

In every thread, with a watchful eye,
He handles disputes, lets no issue slide by.
A moderator noble, with a steady hand,
Throw City’s guardian, proud Canadaman.

After- he was an OG Combat Arms FPS player, frequenting a game mode called 'Quarantine Regen' where the goal was too kill zombies. There was a movement tech in the game that just requires 'Free Running' and After was quite notable good at it. He named himself after a Dragon Ball move called 'Afterimage' as moving so fast he left an Afterimage of himself in Combat Arms. He then later shortened the name to 'After' while playing CSGO on release date, and more notable has nick names such as 'atr' and 'despues'. (Was around before the fake chinese AfteR)
