Known for his creative and unpredictable style, he pioneered Sair/Reaver and Fast Expansion among other techniques which would eventually become part of the standard Protoss arsenal. He would often rely on Probe micro to defend in the early game and would make extensive use of Photon Cannons, unorthodox builds and cheese rushes. Though his PvZ often receives the most attention, Nal_rA was also a proficient PvT player, and was very successful in the matchup.
He is known for having a rivalry with "Deviltoss" Kingdom, who he lost to in the finals of the 2003 MyCube OSL. Recently, Kingdom has joined OnGameNet as a commentator while Nal_rA had joined MBCGame, which continues their historic rivalry. Nal_rA has been called the Protoss BoxeR, due to his creative and frequently unorthodox style. In 2009, Nal_rA announced that he would be moving from MBCGame to OnGameNet as a commentator, joining his rival Kingdom. On October 22nd, TeamLiquid's lilsusie interviewed him.[1] During the interview he revealed some of his thoughts on Starcraft and Starcraft 2.
Nal_rA is also known for his rivalry with "The Maestro" sAviOr, whom he met several times in various tournaments and series. The rivalry was coined "The Holy Wars", and spanned across 3 MSLs, a Blizzard WWI tournament and a Blizzcon Invitational. Their rivalry totaled 13 games, with sAviOr winning 8 and Nal_rA winning 5.
During a match on MBCgame, Nal_rA suddenly paused the game. When asked by the commentators whether he was experiencing technical problems, Nal_rA abashedly responded with a request for a tissue to blow his nose. Nal_rA earned the nickname of "snot toss" from the incident.
According to the recent interview, his favorite unit is the Protoss Archon.[1]
Nal_rA retired in 2008 but has since become a commentator for OGN (after a stint at MBC). In addition to his duties he is trying to qualify for season 2 of the MSL in the offline qualifiers. His training program is romanticized in the OGN show Nal_rA Oldboy.

How the hell do you even sign up for a Beta? Do you have to download the entire game first?

You go to Battle.net with our account. Then register a new game, and type in the beta key.
You then get to download the game.

No, because it wold say INVALID KEY error instead.
So it is a correct key, but something is wrong with it. Don't know what.

Nice trick! Haha.

I protest! This unfairly discriminates against nal_ra fanboys who reread the text, and more importantly, favors people who scroll past the post to make a TL:DR comment. Fortunately, none in this thread.
