Template:Koreanname noimage In Korean, gosu (lit. a better hand) is used to refer a person with great skill, usually in martial arts or in Baduk. Currently on the internet, gosu often refers to a good player or item in computer games, such as StarCraft, Diablo II, Lineage, and Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne.
The word comes from the Mandarin Chinese term gao shou (also 高手), which literally means high hand. A gao shou is someone with a large amount of skill.
It has been thought that gosu originated as an acronym for "God Of Starcraft Universe", however this origin is highly unlikely as the term is also applied to games outside of SC.- (Diablo II, WC, etc.)
Gosu (고수; 鼓手) is also a term used in Korea to refer to a drummer in Pansori.
