Nal_rA will stop commentating on MBCGame and will become a teacher in the Seoul Institute of the Arts, where he will be teaching progaming-related stuff such as introduction to e-sports, gaming, scheduling and marketing.

He will start his new career in 2010.

Wow that's a cool move by nal_rA. I was kinda wishing he would get back into the whole progaming scene though. Judging from some of his interviews from the Heritage League matches, it sounded like he was strongly considering of returning.

Good for him. Many former players struggle to reintegrate into a "normal" life. Any clue if he has any teaching degree?

Is there anyway we can export him here?

That's pretty cool, but I thought he loved commentating? I guess teaching isn't so bad, it'll be pretty cool to have him as a teacher.

I believe he's exempt cause of his ridiculously poor vision. Not quite sure on this though.

But hell yea, eSports 101 ftw taught by Kang Min. People must be flocking to take his classes.

Yay Nal_rA!

Hopefully he'll be a good teacher. He looks like a patient guy by his commentary...seeing as how he can wait forever for the other guys to stop talking for his turn.

Good luck to him, I suppose.

That's crazy. I was sad when I read he was leaving commentating, but then slightly reassured when he was teaching eSPORTs related stuff.

So does this seal the deal about his return to being a progamer? Or will he have more time to practice SC as a teacher rather than a commentator...

Edit: Any interesting netizen comments :O?

If he can teach half as well as he commentates (I bet he can!), he'll do great. Best of luck to him.
I enjoy Starcraft when I'm not too busy being dynamic and attractive.

It figures that Kang Min would be the one using his skills and breaking out of the industry, rather than being stuck in the insular world of the Korean BW scene.

Yup, only Kang Min can be this creative with his match-up, Progamer vs Age

Now, i'm pretty sure Kingdom would make a good teacher too...

Ah. Both sad and great news. Sad that I won't even be able to listen to my all time favourite players casting anymore. Glad to hear he is moving on and up though. Good for him.

Don't suppose NeverGG or someone could get him a card with well wishes from the TL crowd? I think that'd be a really awesome farewell from the starcraft scene for such a great and influential player.

Kang Min fighting!

Kingdom's stare while commentating during WCG games was as deadly as Jaedong's. Students would shit their pants imo D:

Believing that Boxer will ever be able to tip toe around with the players of today is more delusional than still holding onto the belief that Savior will destroy everyone in the next three months.

He didn't destroy shit no matter how you try to interpret it.

Unless we count Effort as his proxy, but even Effort didn't really achieve anything big besides that badass winning streak he had going for a little bit.
