대박 - Dae Bak, Literal translation means "Big Luck" I think, it's when a player gets an unexpectedly exceptional results, like Mine Dae Bak, where a mines kill a lot of units (usually workers) or Storm Dae Bak, where storms kill large amount of units (also usually workers). It can also be used in many other contexts, such as Dae Bak Recall, Reaver Dae Bak, etc.



on the first part, one of the casters say "Dae Bak"

I've never heard of stun-lurkers...it's just stop-lurker(스탑러커)

There should be no difference between Korean and English for this other than the obvious pronounciation

Gyung gi - 경기 - Game "Jae il gyung gi" The First Game "Jae ee gyung gi" The Second Game, etc.

Yuk - 역 - Literally means "counter," used in "Yuk Mutal" as when a zerg suddenly switches to mutalisks, usually after corsairs die in mid-game. Can also be used with other units.

Yuk is counter, but there is no yuk mutal, what you are referring to is 'yung mutal', as in 'sudden mutals'. Yuk (unit) is like when your opponent gets a certain unit (BCs for example), and you follow up with BCs too, then you can be said to be going 'yung BC'

I've never heard of the term 영뮤탈, which "영" are you referring to? It can mean soul, forever, etc, but I don't think it can mean "sudden" I don't see how 영뮤탈 could make sense.

You're trying to use han-ja conversions.. which don't apply here most of the term. The 'yung' here is totally unrelated to the han-ja counterpart.

I see, I just always thought they were saying "Yuk"
I guess you could be right.

also about your 이 한 타이밍 comment, 이 means both "this" and "two", therefore you have to use context to find out its meaning.

But in case of "영" there is no definition "sudden"

Wow...I can't believe you actually type all that up! Thank-you so much for typing up all those korean terms! You might want to add in what a "bonjwa" (spelling?) is since it's related to SC. Thanks again Konadora!

Yeah, but they 'create' the term. It's just one of those terms without no original meaning but is created along the way

Korean commentators use stun-lurker more often, I'll find videos where they use them (they used in GGPlay vs Iris game 5 I think)

Seriously? I'll check this again, because I swear I heard this as '영' muta everytime. If it is indeed 역 then I'm very sorry l1of :<
