StarCraft Legend Artosis Gets Punked By Forum Trolls

South Korea's GOM-TV broadcasts the country's popular StarCraft and StarCraft II tournaments both in Korea and across the globe on the Internet. Artosis, a famous StarCraft player, has often served as an English speaking host for its events. In this particular Q&A session with users of the GOM-TV forums, things begin to go hilariously awry for the TV presenter.

The idea was to ask StarCraft players questions from real-life forum users on the company's website. Which is a great idea, until the trolls on the board started coming up with more and more ridiculous (and risque) display names. To his credit, Artosis has a good sense of humor about having to announce names like "Poopfeast420", even as its cracking up the South Korean translator.
