Hamish "Kowi" Parker joins Dutch team Serious Gaming.
Hamish "Kowi" Parker departs from the team with his long-time teammates to join Dutch organization Serious Gaming.

Kowi is known to be the best player in New Zealand, representing the country in numerous international events, most notably the World Cyber Games and its Asian edition in Singapore.

This is a big blow to Team Delta, his previous clan, as Kowi is one of their most active players. In their most recent match, Kowi managed to defeat three players versus PGS Gaming in the NGL ONE.

Gotfrag caught up with Serious Gaming's manager, Jos "Zerter" Buyvoets, regarding their new addition. "Kowi is a great player who has consistently shown strong results over the years. We think he can do very well on a WC3L/NGL ONE level."

Buyvoets candidly adds a further explanation on why they recruited another Night Elf player. " We were also on the lookout for a Night Elf player, since relying purely on Neytpoh who plays Orc as well was just not working out completely."

This must be a difficult decision for Kowi to leave his old team, as he has been friends with them for several years. Nevertheless, this is is a new challenge for Kowi to compete against better teams in the WC3L.
