Well he wasn't entering any tournaments for a while so I suspected it, but it's confirmed now.
Done with Team Liquid for a while. Don't expect to find me here.

This makes me want to create a Scumbag Kiwikaki picture:

Causes Archon Toilet Nerf.

Retires from SC2.


I'll definitely miss him. What an innovator.

I really liked Kiwikaki's stylistic and entertaining play. He will be missed. I wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors.

Sad to see him go. He was one of my favorite Protoss players if not my favorite.

Best of luck to him in the future though

I hope this doesn't mean Slush will gradually retire, too. I always looked forward to seeing his games at MLG last year.

Kiwi entered IPL4, got killed by some koreans. Something tells me that he will be around a few tournaments (albeit without practice).

I'm sure he'll still play SC2 for fun, and still be at a high level. Maybe he'll compete in smaller tournaments (like online cups) until (if it happens) his skill falls too low, which should be no problem as long as he plays a few hours a week.

Twitch chat now a credible source?

I'll wait for Kiwi himself to adress it - If there is anything to adress; wouldn't be surprised if there isn't though
The first link of chain forged, the first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably.

Well, this was not unexpected, but hits hard nonetheless. One of the greatest NA protosses back in 2010 and early 2011, and certainly one with flair and creativity. Thanks for everything Kiwikaki
