incontrol you all out own man. Sorry you didnt make the ro64, hope you go to the eg house and own it up in 2011 cuz you're confidence is just intoxicating. Also your artosis interview was just the tits, esp the faces you were making while he was talking map balance, cracks me up still.
GL to you and keep delivering these awesome blogs.

Dude I'm so sorry you didn't make it, I was really really pulling for you.

Ignore the haters who say otherwise, anyone with half a brain can see you're a top level player and an awesome guy, and I wish you all the best in your futures as an SC2 progamer.

We're going to be seeing a lot of iNcontroL, I'm sure of it.

Geoff are you planning on focusing more on Korea now? Will you be moving out there anytime soon, or maybe trying to ladder on the Korean server from the US to get a feel for the play-style and practise with some of the guys out there?

Congrats inc, it sounds like you did a hell of a great job over there, certainly did us proud back home. Can't wait to see you make future GSLs. Best of luck with your training.

Way to go iNcontrol very glad to see you taking the positive angle on what could easily be skewed as a heartbreaking experience. I am confident you will emerge even better than before and start crushing babies regularly now! :D

From the bottom of my heart: Thanks. This blog has actually helped make me feel GOOD. I am so lucky to have a community like yourselves surrounding me.. thanks.

A lot have asked what my plans are in regard to korea. I am most certainly coming back out. Most likely for 3 months but it could be longer and it could be shorter. It is hard cause I do have (as you guys know) an amazing girlfriend of which I am very serious with so 3 months is nothing to sneeze at. She knows this is my passion and this is the biggest scene to grow in so she supports but that doesn't mean it's easy. In any case there is stuff to discuss with her whether or not she'd visit, move out or w/e. Tough to say from here but we will see!

Just know that you have quite seriously an INSANE amount of fans.

Definitely not a wild estimation to put you in the top 2 or 3 favorite players for many non-koreans.


We're all rooting for you and will continue to hope and pray for the day where you get on the finals stage and say "I'm going to give the money to my mom... BAHAHAHA JUST KIDDING FUCK YEAH JET PACKS"

I'm glad this blog helped!
Which ever option you choose,
I hope you have fun.
A build is not a guess, an estimation or a hunch, a feeling, or a foolish intuition. A build is a dependable, unwavering, unarguably accurate, portrayer of your ambition.

Inc, I hope you give it a shot man. Go for the 3 months, I know it will be hard with the GF and all. Good luck whatever you decide.

Having met you personally and had conversations with you about the game and just bullshitting, I can say you're one of the nicest and funniest people I've come across. I am sad to hear you didn't make it, of all the protoss in that tournament you are the one I was rooting for. It's unfortunate you had to face a powerful zerg in your final set, but knowing you I know the experience has done nothing but strengthen your resolve.

Fuck the haters, I know they are out there. You'll get 'em next time, there is no doubt. Can't wait til your next tournament, I know you'll turn on beast mode for that, and I'll be laughing all the way.

Oof so close? I really hope you make it next time; and I believe you will.

This is the classic situation Day[9] described:
"Last game? Let's do some cheesy build to get it over with."

Play with all your strength, and I bet you will win :D :D

Definitely no shame in losing third set to a korean zerg. You'll get it next time!

On the backing of little over a week of training on the Korean play and you came within a game of qualifying? Can't wait to see what happens after you guys get into the EG house over there! Any possibility of replays of those games btw?
GL HF for the duration of your stay in Korea!

Oi, hold on there iNcontroL!

You like metal so crank up "The Crown - Executioner" and start focusing on the next occasion when you will stand tall with your axe, above helpless nerd head! \m/

Incontrol...I just reread this blog - definitely worth a re-read.

Anyways, after you decide that your career in e-Sports/pro Starcraft is over (if that ever happens), get into motivational speaking, counseling, or something to help people. You're fucking articulate as hell and you're funny. Also, this blog can be applied to everyday life, learning from your failures, and how new experiences and motivation can get you anywhere and do anything you want with life. This sounds chiche as hell, but people need to stop and appreciate moments like this when it happens to them.

Truly uplifting.

I had a chance to speak with you only for a moment at MLG DC though I wish I had time to talk with you more. And why all the haters in the past? I have no idea, but I admire how you're never fazed by negative attitudes. In SC2 esports it's so damn important to give support to each member of the foreigner community because I believe if the koreans are allowed to dominate the GSLs/other major tournaments, esports isn't going to get as big in the states and other parts of the world. I really wish every foreigner who participated in these prelims would have made it (you, KiWiKaKi, Artosis, Torch, etc) so we can prove to Korea we can steal a piece of their cake.

Keep doing what you do and I look forward to your blog about qualifying for GSL4/5/6/7/etc.
