That is why if (for example) Savior has 10 expos and Flash has 5, we can't say Savior is doing a han-bang attack, but we can say Flash is doing a han-bang attack (by not wasting units and squeezing his resources dry) | ||

han= one bang= strike or punch its usage is implied to mean that the player executing such a maneuver will not be able to pull off a doo-bang. so its a one shot deal. but not quite the same as an all-in. | ||

In Singapore, among my friends who watch SC, they all have different names for the units (probably except zergling and workers) | ||

It's usually said after one commentator says something, it sounds like the other is agreeing with him. They have clearly been watching TSL, taking lessons from you, so they're saying "fo sho' ". | ||

I almost went to that series but my dad was like no it's your grandmother's birthday and you HAVE to go. My friend took the bigass Jaedong poster from the event but forgot to bring it from Korea which is kinda lame. Wow... I would have just went :< | ||

I always liked Ku-Ro-Cho, I dunno if those are Korean syllables or not, but that's how I hear it. | ||
