Hey Kowi, thanks for giving up your time to do this interview. Could you please tell us a little about yourself?
--Ah no problem. I'm 17 years old, still at school, I play the electric guitar, my real name is Hamish Parker ^^

Thanks for that.
How did you get into Warcraft?
--Through my brothers who brought the game. We had all played Starcraft aswell.

Do you still play with them? or have they moved on.
--Yeah, that's my brother above me in the channel :) They play DotA sometimes.

What provoked you into striving to become the best?
--I saw the competition for New Zealand (WCG New Zealand) 2 years ago and thought I was capable of being the best there and taking me to WCG. So I practiced heaps on the Asia b.net server and became lot better.

Wow that's awesome.
So what's your practice schedule like now?
--It can be hard to practice becuase of different timezones, but I try to get in as much as possible from my teammates. It usually results in a few hours a day, more in the weekends.

How does being a full time student affect your gaming career?
--It doesn't get in the way too much. School's not too hard :)

Of all the games you have played competitively, which game were you most honoured to play, who was your opponent?
--Hmmm that would have to be the final match of WCG Asia, against Soju, which was played on the main stage.
