With this post I announce my retirement as GM of the Sarasota Sailfish. It was a very hard decision to make, but time constraints made me realize it is better for me to step down and let someone else take over. I love this team and loved working with all the awesome players and users over my tenure here. You all are great!

Thanks a lot to @Frostbite, who brought me in as co-GM to run this team. I've enjoyed it a lot, it was awesome to manage such a wonderful team. Thanks to the whole Sarasota Sailfish franchise, to ALL players and especially to all the wonderful war room members, who helped a lot with managing this team. I really appreciate the time I spent here as a GM, every season, every second.

That said, it's time to look ahead. I'm happy to announce that @Mojojojo will take over as GM of the Sarasota Sailfish. Since she joined the Sailfish, she was such a positive force and helped us a lot to run the team. I'm sure that she's the perfect successor for this position and will do a great job!

Love you Sakro!

I don't think I can even put into words how much I appreciate your time as GM here. The amount of work you put in and your dedication to Sarasota is unmatched and I'm gonna miss our time together. I know you'll have fun in GM retirement haha. The definition of a franchise legend

Denied! -jk, you will do fantastic, huge congrats on the appointment it's so well deserved!!!

As for Sakrosant, let's be honest you did all the hard work here, logged millions of hours watching tape, swimming around finding optimal builds. Should have been #firefrolf to go instead after the recent playoff loss!

In all seriousness though, one of the best and most dedicated GMs I had the pleasure to play for & with! Thanks for everything, and putting a ring on it!

Sakro, I can't say enough good things about you. It's been an absolute pleasure playing for you and working along with you in the War Room since joining the team in S24. You've put in so much time to make sure that Sarasota continued to be successful. I'm so happy we were able to bring a championship to Sarasota while you were here.

You've left some big shoes to fill, but I have no doubt that @Mojojojo will be up to the task. I'm pumped for the future of the Sailfish franchise.

Sakro, you've been an amazing gm. Congrats on getting married! As a gm you did everything the right way and always did right by the team. Willing to sacrifice your own career ambitions for the betterment of the team. That sets up such a great team culture. Everyone wants to win above anything else. Thanks for all the time you put in over the seasons.

Mojo! congrats on becoming gm. You're going to do amazing. You are already so involved that it doesn't even feel like much of a transition. Keep up the positivity and the energy. Lets keep on winning.

Don’t need to have played under you to know how great a person you are and how much you contributed as GM.

Will miss you in GM chat <3
