Hello, my name is Lutional.
Before I get into the main topic, I want to introduce myself. I am a translator (KR/EN) for Skyfoxes (NA Contenders team). I am born Korean, and I have some experience with KR servers - I used to live in South Korea until Season 5 or so.
tl;dr for all you lazy people:

(Still in progress)
As I translate, I sometimes tend to forget or miss some terms, like specific OW terms for certain team comp or callout. I usually just get over it quickly by asking fellow member in a team or doing small bit of research on my own, but I thought that it would be quite handy if I were to have a list of advanced callouts, terms, and such. I did end up finding one online, but that sheet was in poor condition: outdated, hard to read (due to all the comments), and not credible in certain areas.
Some time later, I had a discussion in voice chat regarding gathering English and Korean speaking players and teaching them callouts in English and Korean. First I kind of thought of it as a joke, but as I thought about it, I thought it might be worth doing so. Personally speaking, no one would want to learn a new language if they’re forced to go through all the boring “Where is the bus stop?”, “How old are you?”, “Hello, my name is …” stuff. But if it’s a video game team comm, then people might be more interested in it. For some people (I.e. players living in KR, players in KR/EN mixed teams, players living in west coast, etc…) it might even be extremely useful. In fact, when I first tweeted about this, some T2, T3 players contacted me and showed their interest.
I am still in progress in building these two sheets. I will be able to finish off first draft of both documents by end of this week, but I am in much need of feedback, information, and suggestions (Especially in shotcalling and expressions).
Thank you for those reading this, and I greatly appreciate you if you are willing to help!
