Sorry for the necro, but with GOM starting to teach occasional korean words on stream, I thought this would once again be relevant, and useful for those who never knew it existed!
& also, is "Ggom-soo" "curveball" perhaps?

Probably the most useful thread on TL when you actually get past the basics of korean. Thanks a lot.

꼼수 = Ggomsoo is a move that is technically allowed, but goes against the intent of task at hand, and is generally looked down upon. For example, in BW if you send a worker to a CPU's base at the beginning, the AI will glitch out and won't do anything but chase your worker all game. You can beat the CPU that way, but you would be beating it by using a ggomsoo

I was so excited when i saw this, but it still gave me no answer on what "keso keso" means...Buhu
Bisu[about JD]=I was scared (laughs). The force emanating from his facial expression was so manly that I was even a little jealous.

Needed to bump this to say: Thank you!

Incredibly helpful thread. Just started 1.5 months ago with Korean, still a complete noob but thanks to this thread I can already pick up occasional things while watching Afreeca, which is really motivating

No, but nice bump...

I think I saw Boxer and Yellow write "sugo" to each other in the chat once. I wonder if that some kind of in-joke referring to "gosu".

수고하세요 sugohaseyo is like good work - I think it's usually shortened as slang to sugoyo in games - I'm guessing it's more likely that.

I just checked and 16 years ago I tried to decipher a certain word/phrase/sound that I keep noticing in Korean Starcraft over and over - no success until today. Here is my best attempt at describing it. To me it sounds like "get-tem-re" with the "get" being very fast, (could also be "ket" or similiar), "tem" like them just not "th" but a hard "t", and re like "red" without the "d". It's like having a song on your and not knowing the name, only I hear that sound so often and my brother does so to, so I'm not crazy..
Someday, you’re going to fuck up so magnificently, so ambitiously, so overwhelmingly that the sky will light up and the moons will spin and the gods themselves will shit comets with glee. And I just hope I’m still around to see it.

There is 개땜애, which is a very “slang” way of saying “because of him/her”, maybe that’s what it was? Seeing the video would be best way to confirm.

개 “gae” can mean dog or referring to some person in a derogatory way.

땜애 “ttem-ae” is short for 때문애 “ttae-mun-ae” which means “because of”.

그 instead of 개 maybe for the first syllable they rr referring to? As in "because of this/that"?
That is quite commonly heard
