One of esportsā most famous StarCraft gaming pros, BoxeR (aka Lim Yo Hwan), came up with a fitting name for his baby: the Terran infantry unit from the game.
Limās wife, Kim Ga Yeon, is six weeks pregnant, and as she noted on herFacebook (via tipster Sang), her husband came up with what in South Korea is known as a ābaby fetus nicknameā (ķėŖ ).
According to The Korea Times, BoxeR announced that he will call the child āMarineā and said he came up with the name after he couldnāt come up with any other good monikers. The former StarCraft pro added that his wife had agreed to the gaming-themed name.
But weāll have to wait and see if āMarineā ends up as the babyās legal name after the child is finally born.
