Imo he had more natural talent than Huk or Nani but never really had the drive to get to his limits. Sad news indeed

Oh no! I got to meet him at Providence and he did really well there. And I thought he had a decent run at IPL4? I didn't realize he felt that it was time to retire. That's too bad.

That would explain not seeing much of him lately. He was definitely one of the most fun protosses to watch, I'll miss the uncertain element he would infuse into games.

Sad to see the mad scientist go, his games were always awesome even if he lost. He even brought back the Brood War 2-gate versus Z, no warpgate.

Good luck in poker, Kiwikaki, you will be missed.

I think this is true that Kiwi retired

time to play some pokerz and diablo 3


In his Fan Club & Slush is a pretty credible source consisdering they are friends, were in ROOT and in Reign together.

Old news, but no one really announced it haha.

Best of Luck Kiwikaki maybe I will randomly join a D3 game with you.

edit: Most memorable game would have been the Immortal + Zealot warp in drop he did to IdrA on Blistering Sands in MLG haha.

Brood War forever!

Slush and Kiwi are close friends and ex-teammates.

If anyone knows Kiwi retired, it would be him. Plus, Kiwi's been inactive for quite a while.

He gave us two of the best games ever.

Him against Machine on Xel'naga. When he used a blink stalker/mass recall to kill all Machine's hatcheries.

And that amazing game against Stephano on Shattered Temple.

I've got moves like Jagger

Loved watching him play even if he was never an outright favorite to win against some of the higher level talent. He always played some damn entertaining games.

I don't blame him following poker if he is making money.

I do suspect we'll see him with HOTS, maybe not playing at a pro level.. but hopefully streaming some games.

He didn't even care to announce it himself. That's some display of respect for his fans.

His epic game against stephano at IPL3 will go down in history as one of, if not the single best PvZ in SC2 WoL
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

Sad to see him go super nice guy when I met him at MLG Anaheim, but hope he keeps doing well in professional poker!
If he streams D3 that'd also be pretty freakin sweet :3
