Nal_rA intends to return to progaming

Kang "Nal_rA" Min, Protoss connoisseur, commentator for OnGameNet and three-time gold medalist in Korean progaming has announced his comeback to professional gaming.

The soon-to-be 28-year-old announced in the ShinHan Bank Winners League game between SK Telecom T1 and AirForce ACE that he intends to return to progaming by participating in the next season's OnGameNet Starleague preliminary.

Nal_rA will continue to commentate games for OnGameNet, which hinders him to have enough time to practice for both the MBCGame Starleague and the OnGameNet Starleague.

- Because I have to commentate and practice at the same time, it is better to concentrate on only one league, said Nal_rA to Fomos.kr.

"I often wondered if I could advance"
- Even though I am a commentator now, I am still longing for the life of a progamer. Before becoming a progamer, I had three goals: to become a champion, to become a commentator, and to become to coach. Now I have achieved two of the goals. But even as I am doing my commentaries, I often wondered if I could advance through the preliminary matches if I join now. Because I have left the scene for too long, I wanted to check to see how well I can do. Even though everyone thinks that I would get eliminated, I still want to participate in order to learn more things, explained Nal_rA.

The Protoss player told Fomos.kr that he will start out by practicing on private servers to then request practice partners from KT Rolster as well as other teams.

"Would like to get good results in order to influence the veterans"
In the interview, Nal_rA points out that this has nothing to do with the lackluster performances from the older players.

- It has nothing to do with them, this is my personal decision, my personal challenge. Although I would still like to get good results in order to influence the veterans, said Nal_rA.
