It has now been over a month since we announced Sage joined Alt-Tab.Gaming. As there was a bit of surprise, a lot of hopes and cheers from the community, we though you would want to know how it has been going for him.
As results speak for themselves, here is a copy of what you can find in his Fan Club Page :

That's a 2nd place in 1 live event, 5 Playhem won and 2 weekly events won.
It's easy to see that Sage is very dedicated to his schedule and training and for those who watches his stream, that he has an amazing personality and a wish to never stop improving.
As I write this thread, Sage is in Valencia warming up for his first match of the tournament. This is his second live event in Europe and he's aiming for the top as usual. Before that, he has been able to relax a bit, enjoying Paris and then Valencia for a few days. A member of our StarCraft II editorial team quickly asked him a few questions before he took his Paris - Valencia flight. Here is what might interest you :
Alt-Tab : "How is it going in the MoW ?"
AT‡Sage : "The training goes very well because the schedule is good and I have a lot of training partners. There is no down time."
Alt-Tab : "What do you expect of DreamHack Valencia ? Is there anyone that you fear ?"
AT‡Sage : "I fear Protosses and Taeja ! I want to be in the Top 4."
Alt-Tab : "A quick word for your fans ?"
AT‡Sage : "Please, keep supporting me. Thank you very much, I hope I do good !"
As a team, we are very happy and proud to provide Sage what he expected of us as he does what is expected of him very well and, above all, is an amazing person. Feel free to support Sage by liking his Facebook Page and following him on Twitter, but more importantly, cheer for him if you are in Valencia and in the stream chat !
A quick update about the DH Valencia :
Sage won his Stage 1 Group 3-0, dropping one map against Liquid'TLO in a great Bo3 serie and another in the PvP against ToXiC.
Sage lost to Demuslim and SaSe in Group Stage 2, therefore wasn't able to reach the Playoff.
