A tribute to e-ace

We were deeply saddened to hear that the most-capped player in Superbru history, Warren Cassidy, passed away last week. Our thoughts go out to his family and friends, and particularly his brother, Greg, who introduced him to Superbru and was thoughtful enough to share the sad news with us.

e-ace, as Warren was known in Superbru, was an absolute institution in the game, and will be greatly missed.

An epic career

e-ace joined Superbru on the 24th of May, 2006. At the time, Superbru had around 7,000 players, having just graduated from its early years as my hobby to a proper business venture that we were incubating at Nevado.

Warren's first pool was run by his brother in FIFA World Cup 2006. Over the next 13 years, he went on to amass a phenomenal 57,340 caps in 600 Superbru tournaments. That's 3,806 more than me, and I invented Superbru!

He ended his career a full 1,016 caps ahead of Mike Mitchell, who now carries the torch of being the most-capped living Superbru player.

e-ace played Superbru quietly, with no fuss: for someone who played more than anyone else, we heard surprisingly little from him. He just cracked on with it. He made his last pick on July 24th in the NRL, correctly picking the Raiders to beat the Panthers.

To Greg and the family, from the whole Superbru community, we're so sorry for your loss. Warren will never be forgotten.

Big love from HQ.
