Jonathan “Kiwikaki” Garneau Interview
Jonathan “Kiwikaki” Garneau is no stranger to the North American scene, especially to those who followed him during his Warcraft III prime, where he joined big names like mTw. He was considered the best Canadian player of Warcraft III after he won the Canadian finals for WCG (World Cyber Games) twice. While he never had any big wins, he was considered a skilled player. Now, with Starcraft II being the next big RTS and being able to start playing the game since the beginning, Jonathan is dedicated to becoming one of the best players.
As of today, August 16th 2010, Jonathan is ranked 12th on the North American server and 29th on the European server. He is also a part of team ROOT since early beta. Jonathan will be competing in the group stage of the ESL and in the MLG at the end of August.

Definitely one of the most underrated players at the moment. Thanks 
|
Thanks for the interview, the balance changes he proposed are very good I think. Good luck Kiwi
|
Wow, excellent interview, despite not answering my question(completely reasonable)
Thanks glacials, and thanks kiwikaki.
Was nice to hear his thoughts on balance, it mirrors my own feelings but I am not as good of a player so nice to hear it from someone near the top.
I found his balance ideas to be pretty neat.
|
Great interview.
Agree with most of it, whould really like to see something added to the mothership.
Also another highlevel player addressing the issue with Terran being imba.
In b4 goldleague-terrans crying.

|
agreed about balance! even the colossus comments. Colossus with range is such a game-changer in PvP
|
His points about balance need to be discussed more. Particularly the point about marauder drops sniping tech and nexuses, there is currently little way of stopping that.
|
Feedback? I think the P counterpart is immortal drops. Also marine drops do just as much damage as marauder drops if not more if we're talking light units.
|
fantastic interview, tyvw
|
i like his balance tweaks
|
Well done Glacials! My question got answered !!!
|
I feel like I'm missing out on some poker -> starcraft skill correlation, so many players talk about playing poker if starcraft doesn't work out.

How interesting that you pre-empted possibly crying by crying.

Basically two games where you have to sit in front of you computer all day if you want to become good, and once your somewhat decent you can play offline however few people actually do it.
This is concerning ~20year olds

great interview, covers a lot!

I decided on Pro toss because of how similar they are to Orc of Warcraft III, and also, I wanted to play hard mode.
really?
really?
|
Good interview, I like his attitude

Move SCVs.
Lift off Command Center.
Save economy.
The worst an Immortal drop can do is pull your force from the front-door and blow up Supply Depots and Refineries.

omg it's daniel negranu
great interview
|
I really liked his play style in beta. Haven't seen him since release tho. Hope he can make it to the top!
also: nice interview!
|
You can find replays of him on our ROOT gaming site. He posts quite a few there and I'm sure if they gain popularity he will post more.

Glacials: Life
Kiwikaki: Ur Pro or ur Noob, that’s life.
lmao athene ftw
|
Nice interview and seens to be a nice guy.
"you're either pro, or you're noob. that's life" I laugh hard.
|

I knew I had heard that somewhere..... didn't think it was the legend himself! lol
|
Nice interview, thanks! Finally learning more on kiwikaki
|
i am REALLY wondering if kiwikaki is the exact same kiwikaki from a game called flyff. if he is then he automatically looses a ton of respect from me because of how big of a douch bag egotistical jack ass he was on that game (on top of being a hacker).
but if its not the same kiwikaki then its all good.
|
Omg he's from Quebec like i am!! Wonder if he lives close tome XD
|
the only toss player that uses carriers to great effect

I doubt it is cuz he was playing WC2 and WC3 so much I doubt he was playing a small time MMO like Flyff

He's from Sherbrooke. And I'm sure he'll do us proud at MLG Raleigh.

Great interview.

I know this is offtopic, but didn't we play nexus wars a few hours ago? I was reading the interview thinking to myself "where have I seen this name before...", lol.
Good interview, btw.
