Sage left NSHS? What?
Let a man play chess, and tell him that every pawn is his friend. Let him think both bishops holy. Let him remember happy days in the shadows of his castles. Let him love his queen. Watch him lose them all.

I`m a bit torn about this. Sure, Sage gets some shortterm money, but on the longterm this move will hurt his skill and therefore decrease his market value. Good luck anyways.

Yeah, no player who trained 99% on UE ever got a good result in a big tournament, and all players who trained mostly in Korea had awesome results and incredible skill increase.

Nerchio/Stephano/Mana/Thorzhain.

Idra/TLO/HuK/ToD.

You might be right though, it's just your link between "playing on EU" and "skill decrease" which is irrevelant.

I think for a player like Sage, he was kinda stagnating at NSHoSeo. Not too sure as to the exact reason for his stagnation, perhaps lack of motivation or just pure Artosis curse. But it was kind of obvious that his results had really really dropped off. It was a smart choice for him IMO. He didn't really look like he could regain the form which almost got him into Code S, and I feel staying at NSHoSeo any longer might have hurt him.

Not saying he'll be better with this move, just that he's got more opportunities for salary, new experiences, and most importantly prize money.

Congrats obviously, but you should probably edit the Proffesional gaming section to:
ATǂSage

And that's about it, can't really compare the rest of the team to him.

I have no idea why Sage would join Alt Tab Gaming at all. Their players are by no means bad, but not remotly close to the level of Sage at all. But i guess money speaks or something like that.

NSH seems to be going the way of ZeNEX, to be honest. Sting (who was performing well recently, particularly in qualifiers) and Sage (team captain) leaving, San trying to leave just a few months ago... it is hard to shake the feeling that the team is being held together with a string.

Never heard of them. Best of luck to Sage and the team, but I hope for him that he made the right decision.
