What Does This Mean?
Korean online-game slang for a player who abruptly leaves a match partway through, as if slipping away like a ninja. 탈주 means desertion or running away, and the joke is that the player vanishes without a word and leaves teammates short-handed. The label is used as a complaint about the practice; it is not an endorsement of it.
