Regarding Kro-Sho, I hear that a lot too. I know the Kro sound isn't possible in Korean, but it really does sound like Kro-Sho. Maybe like 그러쇼? It's usually said after one commentator says something, it sounds like the other is agreeing with him.

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

it is "i agree". I'm not sure how it is spelled but whateva

No, han-bang is used more often when 1) the player attempting the 'han-bang' is lower on resources/supply count and squeezes out as many unit as he can to outnumber his opponent or 2) when the player is purposely cutting probes and doing the same thing.

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)


I disagree; hanbang should mean any type of force that is to be reckoned with - I can't really describe it, but it does not have any strong (if any at all) negative connotation. For example, when terrans execute their 3tank 1vessel push vs zerg, it's referred to as hanbang although the two sides are considered "equal" until the upcoming battle.

After some thinking, I think hanbang means any (large) force that has the potential to do large damage depending on the execution. Usually it would refer to terran or protoss vs zerg forces, as they have the micro that will decide the battle (storms, mnmmicro, etc). An English equivalent would be a "ball".

How about adding a section for nicknames? I.e. Stork: (Supreme) Commander, etc.

And common words spoken in games, like g(u) ruh-cho or mat-seum-ni-da?

I believe Zergling is 초구링! Because the Korean alphabet has no sound for "zerg" I guess. After watching Zero vs Kal on Holy World it is my new favorite word.

I hear the word you guys are trying to figure out as 구라초 but I could be way off. Someone already mentioned what it means.

I slightly redefined the 'han-bang', forgot about things like 1-base han-bang push.

Gu-ruh-cho got two definitions... :S

It's 저그링 lol

I skipped all the words that have the sound pronunciation as its English counterpart, or I'll just end up saying every single unit/spell.

Great! This should be helpful for many people.

I disagree with the definition of "hanbang" though. It's not really a desperate, last attempt in a disadvantageous position, it's just one timing attack that is meant to finish off the opponent. For example, the Terran ball that comes out after a Zerg's Muta harass is considered hanbang, because of the timing aspect. They are on an equal footing.

That's why I kind of added-in a bit more definition. The term 'han-bang' is quite broad.
