What makes you so sure that that profile is him? There are a ton of "Nalra"s on the KR server, there's even another one in Master league: http://kr.battle.net/sc2/ko/profile/3066276/1/NalrA/ That's not to say that I doubt Gisado's stream, but even if the RealID is accurate, that doesn't cement a connection with profile 758865 or 3066276. There's no way to even know the web profile of an in-game player. You have to run a name search on SC2Ranks and for this particular name there are a lot of results.

Nuff necro. It would be awesome if he joined, but I am tempted to agree with the poster saying it is SloG over NalRa joining, though most likely a fake. Also, playing is very different to playing competitively.

Source?

FXOpen livestream, don't have a screenshot, but he was playing on it. Also, conveniently plays other FXO players.

The account you linked goes back to march '11, while the other nalra account has history back to summer '10. And yes there are a lot of nalra accounts, but they all have a very low ranking and number of matches, so i doubt its the real man.

Sort of surprising though that he would lend his account to an FXO player, maybe he is somehow involved in the scene then?

Before everyone starts freaking out, I'd like to point out this is a necro from 2010, lol.

Am I the only person that thought Kim-Tae-Young was Kim Taek Yong for a second?

Looking at that proile, it looks like he started playing some games again recently over the last few weeks. Also looking at http://kr.battle.net/sc2/ko/profile/758865/1/NalRa/matches he has lots of matches played today. Isn't he supposed to be in the army?

Nice necro buddy

Holy crap.. I didn't even see this thread.

Didn't even know he played. I guess he switched after he failed to qualify for OSL?

Definitely would love to see him play sc2!

I was thinking the exact same thing. This made me want to switch races anyway, in spirit of nal_ra , I hope he does play SC2 though that would be awesome.

Yea, I didn't notice either, at least now I know that he played SC2 and tried it out. Who knows, maybe he would like to play again. I hope he does, he was my favorite player back in BW days from the Koreans.

Horray dreamtoss! I wish he would have gone back to brood war, but this is the next best thing. I wonder what team he'll join. And yes he would make use of all the under used units. :D

I was watching Rainbow's stream and there was a friend named Nal_ra that logged in, the real id was 강민 (fluent in both eng/kor). Anyway, wasn't sure if it was confirmed or not, but I imagine there aren't many Koreans with the one syllable names, let along a Nal_ra named 강민.
