Wow, so you judge Puma off that one GSTL game? What about winning NASL 2 with EG? What about winning IEM Cologne with EG? What about his second place finish at DreamHack Winter 2011 and IEM World Championship season 6? Or his third place finishes at IEM China and Assembly in March? Dude has won nearly $100,000 while on EG. Almost all of his best achievements in EG are done within a couple of months after he left TSL, after that, he gone down hill. Edit: What he said that he has so much potential has he stayed with TSL to begin with.
DreamHack, NASL 2 were both like 5 months after joining EG. IEM Worlds and Assembly were even longer after. And now instead of the TSL house, he's at the SlayerS house. Hardly a downgrade.

Edit: What he said that he has so much potential has he stayed with TSL to begin with. @ jmbthirteen Even though he placed well in those tournaments, let's be honest... the competition was much easier than even Code A. Most of the competitors in those tournaments would probably not even be Code A level (at least the foreigners). Those tournaments aren't as big/important as even MLG (which doesn't even have most of the koreans), let alone GSL. Also, good point by brachester
So? He still beat guys like MC, Hero, DRG, Squirtle, July, and tons of other Code A/S players while winning those tournaments and performing well in them. Even in the last MLG Championship Event he finished 5/6. I'm not saying he is at best in the world status, but to say he hasn't flourished on EG because he hasn't been in GSL is ignorant.
Foreign teams have been very good for Koreans. I already listed Puma's accomplishments, MC flies around the world and gets top 3's all the time, Taeja has been a BOSS, Hero became a much better player, JYP is in Code S. Its up to the player to do well, not the team he is on.

Kind of expected. Seems like Koreans really want foreign exposure even if it means that the teams they join aren't really "up there".
|
another Korean bites the dust.Natural selection is harsh.gg
|
cough Nice timing for Sage to by pass the KeSPA ban. cough
Can we start guessing which KeSPA team is going to sign him?
|
Go Sage! Sad to see you leave NSH, But GLGL!

That last sentence is absolute gold and 100% true.
edit: best of luck Sage, hopefully you find the passion and enjoy your new surroundings.

This could take AT from obscurity to fame. Best of luck guys!

My thoughts exactly...

Best of luck, I hope they give Sage the proper boost he needs.
|
Wow NSH losing people left and right. Sia, Shuttle, Sting, now Sage? Who's next, Tassadar?
|
I've never heard of Alt-Tab Gaming before.
|
Never heard about Alt-Tab Gaming either, but i with the best for Sage and i guess this means AltTab is going to start being relevant ;>
|
haha what a cool name for a team. Best of luck to Sage and the team \m/,
|
WOW didnt see this coming, I love his name
|
As far as I know NSHO is not that much of a rich team. So I wasn't surprised when I heard the transfer.
I just wonder what happens when the captain of the ship evacuates it first..
|
unexpected, feel bad for NSHS... TT congratz to Sage and alt tab though
|
Ooooh, me poor NSHS boyos  .

eh, it's not really in the spirit of "Be the best in the world!" and other idealistic pursuits, but realistically you have to make a risk/reward decision based on your talent as to whether you focus 100% on improving your skill, or make some concessions to get what financial gain you can out of progaming, a career path that in the majority of cases cannot be sustained past your early 20's.
