Kang Min (born March 15, 1982), also known as Nal_rA, is a South Korean former professional StarCraft player and League of Legends commentator.[1][2] Since retiring from gaming, he has worked as an instructor at Seoul Institute of the Arts.[3]

Kang had relatively long career in StarCraft, spanning victories in both major leagues and seeing his team to a 23-game winning streak.[4] He is considered one of the "Three Kings" of Protoss.

Once during a live match, he suddenly asked the game observers to pause the game because 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 once 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.
