Hey guys, I was extremely bored this evening as my first series of exams ended and all my friends went off to play D2 and I was watching the Nal_rA vs Goodfriend game again, the one on Parallel Lines with the hallucinated Arbiter Recall. It was so funny and ironic some of the stuff the commentators said when watching it in retrospect, I thought I'd share it with you and translate the main dialogue from the hotpoints. I hope it makes sense, have fun!

NB: Kang Min is Nal_rA and Lee Byung Min is Goodfriend. The dialogue is from the three MBC commentators, I have included the timing of the events.

0:08 “We look forward to seeing what strategy he has prepared for us today.”

0:57 “In these type of maps, Protoss have been using Reavers, Corsairs and Carriers. It is important first of all for us to see first of all which strategy Kang Min has chosen early on in the game.”

1:22 “He will likely either secure his natural quickly and tech for Carriers, or produce some corsairs in order to utilize the Disruption Web along with Dragoons made from Gateways built on the other starting positions, hoping for a macro-based game. He will definitely choose either pattern of play.”

2:35 [As expected, both sides take their nat early in the game]

3:45 “It will be interesting to see what Kang Min has in his mind.”

4:59 [Nal_rA makes a Stargate]
“Oh, it’s a Stargate!”
“Wow, it’s extremely fast timing! This is almost like in PvP games when a player goes one base pest carrier rush!”
“Haha, yes!”

6:05 “Kang Min! He is increasing the number of his Gateways! However no sign of any units yet.”
“Right now it is highly possible that he will make Dragoons to defend against early drops by the Terran then climb Carrier tech afterwards, much like his game last week.”

6:11 [Nal_rA’s single Stargate is flashing, warping in a Corsair]
“Oh! What.. Corsair? A Scout?”
“It’s a Corsair, in this case it is being used for early scouting, although late game Web can be highly useful.”
“Yes, sometimes it is better to use a Corsair to scout very early in order to find out the opponent’s build rather than taking the time to build a Robotics Facility, an Observatory then an Observer.”
“Indeed. Then the Protoss is able to immediately adapt his own build to counter the Terran’s.”

6:51 [Nal_rA still has no units but a couple of goons+sairs He warps in a Templar Archives]
“What? Why? God, it is impossible to guess what he means by this!”
“He doesn’t even have a robotics!”
“Exactly! All he has are two corsairs!”
“What is this, Kang Min!”
“Haha, that is one of the many nicknames for Kang Min- ‘What is this?’”
“Oh! There comes ANOTHER Corsair! Doesn’t he even have a fleet beacon?”
“No, it seems that he doesn’t!”

7:32 [Nal_rA warps in an Arbiter Tribunal]
*Groans of astonishment from the crowd*
“WOW! HAHA!”
“HAHA! KANG MIN!”
“We are simply speechless.”
“Finally we learn the truth behind the riddle! Of course- one needs a Templar Archives in order for Arbiter Tech.”
“Yes that is true. The Arbiters’ recall is very good. However, the reason it is not widely used is because it takes a long time and is very risky against a goliath-tech Terran on an island map. But Kang Min.. HAHA!!”

8:11 “Indeed, the structure of a Real Time Strategy game means that as long as a player keeps his intentions hidden, the element of surprise in itself will likely make a strategy successful. And right now, Lee Byung Min is completely oblivious of Kang Min’s plans!”

[Play ensues into mid-game, both players are building up, Goodfriend has taken one extra expansion on one of the starting positions]

9:49 “Kang Min truly has served up a one-punch strategy. It seems that he is warping in two Arbiters from his two Stargates. If the Arbiters are dealt with by the Goliaths before the recall and the turrets, it is a certain defeat. It is everything or nothing.”

[As soon as the commentator stops speaking, Goodfriend attempts a drop on Nal_rA’s base. The crowd let out cries of anxiety as Nal_rA hurries to hide his two freshly warped in Arbiters to the very top left corner of the map. However, Goodfriend retreats, having seen a glimpse of the Arbiter Tribunal with his drophips]

10:01 ‘He’s seen it! And to make sure he has even scanned it! This is a crucial moment in the game!”
“Indeed! What Lee Byung Min MUST do now is… YES! Exactly that! As we clearly see right now, he must make sure his base is full of turrets and goliaths to prevent the Arbiters from entering his base!”
“He now also knows that Kang Min only has one shot at victory!”
“He’s even preparing Science Vessels to detect the cloaked units.”

11:06 [A Physics Lab add-on shows that Goodfriend preparing Battlecruisers. Cut to Nal_rA’s base, where his two Arbiters are hovering over his army consisting of around 15 Zealots, 5 Dragoons and 5 High Templar]
“It seems the risk is much greater for Kang Min, Lee Byung Min is fully prepared… (Nal_rA creates 8 hallucinates) …WA-HAHAHAHA!!”
“WOW!!!!!”

[Crowd goes wild in delight as the flock of Arbiters glide towards Goodfriend’s base]

11:20 “IF HE HALLUCINATES, TURRETS, GOLIATHS-NOTHING MATTERS!”
“THEYRE GOING!! KANG MIN IS MOVING!!”
“HERE WE GO! TWO RECALLS ARE AVAILABLE!!”
“HERE WE GOOOO!! WHERE WILL THEY GO??!!”
“ABOVE THE FACTORIES!! YES!!”

[The best fucking looking amazing recall you’ve ever seen in your life recalls over a whole army as the commentators and the crowd scream in unison in all their ecstasy, camera cuts to Nal_rA’s face]

“THIS IS UNSTOPPABLE!!”
“THERE ARE TOO MANY!! THIS IS JUST…”
“THIS IS PROTOSS!!! THIS IS KANG-MIN!!”
“WHO ON EARTH WOULD HAVE THOUGHT OF USING ARBITERS, ON THIS MAP, WITHOUT EVEN EXPANDING OUT TO THE MAINLAND?”

14:21 [Goodfriend hopelessly types GG]
“GG!!!”

yeah that was such a crazy game, i am so lucky to have watched it live at sejoong.

I think i told the story before...i was standing next to a group of teenage girls who were probably the biggest kang min fans ever. Once the hallucination showed up, the entire room went crazy (so loud i had to cover my ears), and these girls just went insane shouting and screaming. After the "GG" they were in/almost tears, and then they ran back to the door leading to the player's rooms and waited for 30 mins for Kang Min to come out, then they swarmed him for autographs (which is weird because i woulda figured they had kang min's autograph like 10x already). I was also standign there with the girls looking at kang min, but i didn't do anything..i just stood there looking like an idiot not asking for a autograph or a handshake or anything.

but anyways, if you couldn't tell from the VOD, the volume of the place was just incredible..

What an awesome post.

That vod is definitely in my top 5 all-time. Kangmin's double-recall looked like a fucking tsunami.

I love you FireBlast.

If a full translation could be put in a subtitle file, that would make the vod that much better to watch
