Kang Min

Who is Kang Min?

Kang Min a.k.a. Nal_rA is a former professional South Korean StarCraft player.

Kang Min had relatively long career in StarCraft, spanning victories in both major leagues and seeing his team to a 23-game winning streak. On 11 September 2008, Kang Min declared that he would retire from pro-gaming. He felt that he was not able to meet the expectations of his fans regarding his performance in professional StarCraft games and that he intends to be a professional StarCraft commentator in the future. He has since announced his intention to cease commenting on MBCGame and take up a career in teaching pro-gaming related courses at the Seoul Institute of the Arts.

Kang Min sometimes uses the aliases ArChonCap, 119clan, Ha. T, km0315, O_Oi, Great05, canoppy, KissofFire, 5dronegg, Shootingstorm and mO.Oy.

He is one of the few pro-gamers who still uses a ball mouse, and is often seen cleaning it before televised matches; his keyboard is the Samsung DT-35 Black.

Once during a live match, he suddenly asked the game observers to pause the game. The problem with Kang Min was that he had to blow his nose and asked for a tissue. Not surprisingly, the commentators laughed out loud because of this incident. Ever since that incident, he has been affectionately known as 'Snot Toss'.
