Sage is one of the more innovative tosses and I remember when he was at his "peak" and everyone thought he was going to destroy. That may be a bit of hyperbole, but I am still a huge fan of Sage, he is the reason I like NSHS, though I wish he streamed more. If he leaves, that would be a huge blow -_-;.
He always seemed to be on the cusp of breaking through and being one of the better protoss but it never quite happened. Now he's rarely even used in team leagues and NSH has San as their main protoss. Maybe the change will work out well for him. idk. Grats to AT gaming and good luck to Sage. Hope it all works out.

So, Sting leaving is confirmed? I had only seen it on the TSL4 stream, but found no mention anywhere else. That's arguably a bigger hit on the team than Sage, as far as recent performances go. Let's also not forget that San showed interest in leaving just a few months ago as well. I am starting to fear that NSH will go the way of ZeNEX.
So what I can read from the article is that Sage lost his motivation and went looking for a foreign team. Alt.tab showed interest and voila, things happened. Sage claims that his motivation is renewed and will live in the Ministry of Win house.
I wonder if this is another case of a Korean have high expectations about the money in the foreigner scene. Either way, congratulations to both Sage and Alttab-Gaming. If it means we will get to see another Korean in more tournaments, then I can't say it's a bad thing.
Wow, surprising and I hope Sage does well in Europe. He was the victim of the artosis hype curse and dropped off the face of the planet for so long now.
