On May 7th, Slush, KiWiKaKi's former teammate, announced that KiWiKaKi had retired


Sad to see him go... but his choice , he is good in poker.. so lets hope something good will come out of that..

I thought he was a huge Protoss fan-favorite? Sad to see him go, he gave us some great games.

I'll always remember his game versus Stephano at IPL3, and all of the other craziness he brought to the game as a whole. A truly great player who will be missed.

Thought someone said that a month or so ago? At least I swore as this seems like old news to me xD
When I think of something else, something will go here

I thought this was known for awhile. He never got a new team after ReIGN, so it was impossible for him to keep pursuing sc2

I heard that somewhere already. Wasn't it known before slush said it?

Anyways, Kiwikaki was a very entertaining player. Always a pleasure to watch him. Good luck to him in the future.

Awwww, damn thats a shame, his games were always kooky, and sometimes badass. It'd been said that he retired before, but confirmation now.... GL with Poker.

He was an incredibly skilled poker player before even breaking into SC2. He went where the money is. Juggling both isn't an easy task and he did it for long enough.

I'm sure with HotS we'll see a bit more of him again. o;
