http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Sage played for http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Alt-Tab.Gaming while living in the Ministry of Win house, but after Alt-Tab disbanded he went back to Korea and was since then teamless. Today he joined http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/ROOT_Gaming and thus is now their second Korean player. You can follow him on twitter at https://twitter.com/ROOT_Sage

Looks like ROOT is the new CoL .coL was mostly assembling washed up Korean players or ones who just happened to be available at the time they went on a signing spree, ROOT has Koreans who were never really considered among the best and gives them a chance to become popular and they seem to consider if a player fits the team before signing. That's very different to me. I never really cared for ROOT because I'm not very interested in the NA scene but Sage has been a favourite of mine for a long time and Catz does make smart pickups and has an eye for talent, I've always respected him for that. | ||

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  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. | ||

Mass panic is like a disease, it can spread very fast and cause damage, even though there is no reason for it. With KeSPA we got 7 new SC2 teams with strong sponsors. The competition get tougher and the weaker teams will die. That's just a natural process. Also Azubu dropped both Blaze and Frost. edit: damnit, sniped on the LoL part | ||

Everyone knew some teams and players wouldn't be able to survive the entry of Kespa, but somehow everyone decided to ignore it and now people are freaking out. The weaker teams already died off and we still have 16 team competing in 2 Korean teamleagues. I'd say that's almost more than enough. | ||

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. | ||

Sage is insanely good based on his stream, his micro and early game is rock solid, i remember games where he raped zergs with trollish builds in top gm! he is top tier even among koreans. his pvp is still lacking though. hopefully Root will send him to tournaments and he can get some exposure, he's probably the best player who never does tournaments atm... | ||
