Kang Min

Kang Min (강민) a.k.a. Nal_rA (born March 15, 1982) is a former professional South Korean StarCraft player (Protoss, KTF MagicNs).

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 progaming. 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.

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'.

Kang Min was disqualified during a match in SKY Proleague 05-06. He accidentally paused the game in an attempt to change the volume. The referees deemed this as a disqualification.
