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.

Fix 전술- Jun Sool not Jin sool

Jin Chool - 진출 - "Advance" meaning sending the out of one's main with intention to advance.

Gang - 강 - "Round of" 8 Gang = Round of 8, 4 Gang = Best of 4, usually referred to as Joon Gyul Seung- 준결승 Meaning semifinals, and Gyul Seung - 결승 Finals.

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"


Haha how could I forget that (대박 means 'to hit the jackpot')

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


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)

But when you pronounce 아홉시, you don't really pronounce the 'ㅎ' right? Or are we supposed to? (I don't :X)

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'

Edit: I'll update when I get back home, gotta go school

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.

Shouldn't it be "급" in order to imply "Sudden-"?

You don't have to explain, it's your thread, not mine, I'm just trying to help.

Also listing the colors could help.

Saek - 색 - Color
Paransaek - 파란색 - Blue
Noksaek - 녹색 - Green

etc.

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"

Also, I might have edited some of my former posts after you saw them, there are more recommendations there.

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

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!

I'm saying that you are wrong about that. They are really saying Stop-lurker but you are mishearing.

Yeah it's 역, meaning counter mutas. Example - Zerg kills a Corsair with scourages and gets mutalisks to exploit that
