XKuei

'XKuei' is the alias used by Luciano Alvim since 1995, after openly disliking such a nickname - well, you know, the more you hate it, the more they'll call you that.

After the advent of dial-up internet in brazilian small town Ipatinga (where he still lives), he needed a nickname that would easily stand out from all the other Killers - he used "Killer" too, in QuakeWorld and IRC. So XKuei it was.

And still is.

It is pronounced "Cheez-Kuay", instead of "Ecks-Cooey" as most people address him at Team Fortress 2, Left 4 Dead, World of Warcraft and pretty much everything else.
