Excellent news - I think Sage will really get his chance to shine in HotS

you know esf is dying when koreans are joining ROOT

Yeah it's not like Azubu just recruited about 50 new players or IM got a new sponsor and set up a homepage + store. Oh and MVP also didnt renew their sponsorship with Hot6ix. Additionaly Axiom hasnt even gotten a teamhouse, after pretty much reforming team Slayers. Yeah Esf teams look pretty dead.

Azubu and Axiom are not eSF, but that's just detail, the point you make is still right

I don't know how to feel about Sage. He won the (Wiki)Acer StarCraft Challenge during his stay in Europe and got mixed results at DreamHack. I would rate him on a level with EU protoss like Harstem, NightEnD and BlinG.

Good luck to Sage, hope it works out for him.

I'd definitely rate him higher than all of those. He was in a big slump before and after he left NSHoSeo, and if you read the interview he admits to that and names reasons, but in MoW he picked up his game, started to improve and win or place highly in tournaments. If he has newfound motivation he can only rise and a creative player like Sage should be able do quite well in the early stages of HotS.

I'm pretty certain he'll peak way higher than the players you listed if he keeps practicing like Koreans usually do.
