Hey all, Ive been coming to these forums for quite a while now.

And I know that you dont like people making new topics unless they have 100 posts, however I was interested in knowing what that chant that the korean crowds do at the start of starcraft games is?

Is there someone who could translate it for me?

The chants are actually real simple.

"One, Two, Three, [Insert player name] FIGHTING!"

"Fighting" is something that Koreans say to cheer someone one. It's bastardized English that came through from Japan. So to say HonestTea Fighting! would mean "Let's go HonestTea!"

During Proleague games, since it's team vs team, fans will also often say [insert team name] Fighting!

Did you notice, in the MBC domination over KTF how MBC fan chants were mostly puberty torn adolescent male voices while KTF had the screaming preteen girls? heh

basically MBC only has male fans, where as KTF has all the screaming girl fans. This is why KTF will always be bigger than MBC, as long as they have yellow and reach. .. heh.

Same, but he barely knows who July is, he isn't a big Starcraft fan.

Hmmm, yeah... Fighting = 화이팅 (Hwy-ee-ting). Fighting said without the "F" and with "H".

For example... since there are two players: Nal_rA vs. Kingdom. (Kangmin vs. Park YongWook)

"Kangmin~ 1, 2, 3! Kangmin Hwyting~!! Park YongWook~ 1, 2, 3! Park YongWook Hwyting~!!"

Those are usually the group chants. Sometimes you hear a few fanatics, who scream by themselves, especially the Oh YoungJong (AnyTime[gm]) group. AJA AJA! Oh Young Jong! AJA AJA! Oh Young Jong!

AJA (아자) is usually a yell of encouragement.

Friend: 아, WhatisProtoss... 내일부터 시험있어.. T_T
(WhatisProtoss, my exams start tomorrow. T_T)
Me: 오, 힘내라~! 아자아자~!
(Oh, be strong! Aja aja!)

eh, simple. because KTF has Reach and he has a couple hundred thousand fans who for all we know are probably 99.9% girls

While the MBC team are being rooted by the actual progaming scene (male) observers

YES EXACTLY@!> I've been suspecting recently that the demographics of people who follow pro starcraft in korea are largely preteen and young teenage girls because of it, but they only seem to show up for the "good looking" progamers like reach and yellow, both ktf.
