Is there supposed to be something embedded into the post, cause I don't see anything.
It's always sad when someone retires even in this case, where I haven't really followed Sage's career at any point in time.

Best of luck Sage! I remember back in mid-2011 when he was on NSH and was Artosis' chosen one to save Protoss from being owned in GSL all the time. Never quite got there, but played some really good games. In honor of Sage, my favorite Sage game of all time by a longshot: him vs ParanOid in the first ATC. If you haven't seen it, this is a pretty epic game:

He was doing so well before he lost to Has in S1 and should of made it through in S3 last year. It's pretty sad he's retiring.

I kinda figured this would happen, he was a far past his prime. Sad to see him go, and i wish him the best of luck.

Well when anyone retires its probably because they want to move on to better and brighter things, so rather than be sad I'm kind of happy for him. Although I can understand those who say they're sad to see him leave the scene

Sad to hear, but hopefully it will end the rumors of Catz kidnapping him and stealing his organs to find the root house. Or whatever dumb drama shit reddit comes up with.

Actually, JavaScript blockers also block the Twitter thingy from working. I don't seem them unless I disable my script blocker.

I remember those days well, and I was a big fan of Sage's play in that era.

Happy retirement dude!

Well what do you want to know? me petraeus and Fenner signed up not too long ago, Spyte's on an extended dota 2 sojourn, minigun got sick and Sage quit the game, at least for now. We're trying hard to be super pr0 at starcraft but fucking hell this game is hard.

The struggle is continuous and real.

Sure being top at something is hard in most cases. There are harder games though.

The harder it becomes, the more you should focus on the basics.

I remember him getting hyped because he was the first one to discover that you could use warptech for harass purposes.... Those days

Oh no... I remember when almost every Protoss simply macro and Aclick Zea Archon, then I saw his stream, and he was one of the few who played microing units and harassing with Stalkers, Phoenix, etc, it is a real shame, but inspired me a lot to play Protoss with honour

Loved watching his stream, he was such a good player but never really made that huge breakthrough. Best of luck Sage!
