Hi guys sorry but I am still looking for help with the word "SCV Train". Anybody with ideas?
Also, what is the word for Player or Players? Like: The players in this match are Bisu and Light.
Is it simply 플레이어 or is there a more native Korean word?

The word for "player" is commonly 선수 (sun-soo). "Players" could be referred to as 선수들 (sun-soo-deul). So Bisu is referred to as 김택용선수 (Kim Taek Yong sun-soo) or Light & Bisu is referred to as 이재호와 김택용선수들 (Yi Jae Ho wa Kim Tae Yong sun-soo-deul).

플애이어 could be used, I suppose, but I've not heard it amongst Starcraft commentators. Maybe in football or other sports?

Do you mind clarifying SCV train? Are you referring to when they pull SCVs to attack a 12 Nexus build?

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

Combination of 그 and 애 (kid, itself a contraction of 아이)

spelled 걔

Hmm I wonder if you learned very basic korean (1000 words or so) and then memorized this list how much of a cast you could understand. Could be a good gateway starting point into the language perhaps.
Why would I play sctoo when I can play BW?

You need a good base of the language to understand common expressions like 미치겠 네 which you won't find in any starcraft vocabulary list

Also, as evidenced by this thread you need to know Korean spelling and pronunciation rules. The above sentence 미치겠 네 is pronounced more like michigenne

refer to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_phonology for a table

Furthermore, you need a basic understanding of the grammar to correlate all the forms as being the same word. You might hear 이겼다, 이걸 이겨? 이긴다, etc and it's the same verb

But after that you can just mass watch Korean live streams and be getting a lot of language knowledge from them

means weird/off-meta playstyle. most commonly a nickname of Mini (sapa toss) in starcraft
in the video he says (i feel like JYJ is a non-sapa player in TvZ) aka plays standard TvZ i guess
