Having spent much of his time on the pro StarCraft scene, Sean effectively retired from the eSport in 2010 and began commentating at Blizzcon 2011. He has, since 2009, been running Day[9] TV, a webshow consisting mainly of analysis of the StarCraft and StarCraft 2 pro scene. More recently the channel has branched out to include Hearthstone, Portal 2 and a whole host of other PC games.

Purge followed a similar path, beginning his career as a professional player of the original Defense of the Ancients and having an instrumental role in turning Dota 2 into the Worldwide phenomenon that it is today. He has since become a regular face at pro games, often providing key commentary.
