Dude HUGE props for even attempting this...
Being so close to get into the GSL3 you could almost grasp it!
It's a big accomplishment for any SC2 player, Im certain that with some more practice you can not only qualify but make it far.

I believe in you man, I really do.
Got neurosis from Artosis cause you bunker rushed my heart GG baby, lets go crazy cause the game's about to start

hey incontrol, just wanted to let you know that you have a LOT of fans.

in slasher's ustream chat channel (after MLG party), when they were about to interview someone, people were spamming your nickname like crazy to pick you.

GL next time, you can do it!
Part of the inhumanity of the computer is that, once it is competently programmed and working smoothly, it is completely honest.

You're living the life geoff, Always stay positive, I remember meeting you in Raleigh after a loss and you were terribly frustrated but you calmed down and said hey back to me. I think that really shows a lot about you're character. I hope you go back to qualify next available chance.

Keep it up big man,

Damn, I was really hoping you'd make it, more so than all the other foreigners now that TLO isn't competing in this one. You have the right outlook though and it's clear you've grown as a player, I really think you'll make it next time.

As much as I had wanted to see you win though I am looking forward to seeing how well Moon does in this tournament. Coming from a Wc3 background it's annoying hearing people talk down on the Wc3 pros as much as they do as I was very active in that scene and there were many skilled players. I know I've heard people shit-talk the Wc3 players on SotG before but I know it wasn't you and a quick google search on the subject found you saying nothing but good things about them http://www.mymym.com/en/article/1070.html

Anyway that middle paragraph was almost entirely irrelevant. Best of luck man, you'll make it next time. iNcontroL fighting!

Is your gf worried at all?

I mean wouldn't you go out at all? Not once? Will you tame your inner bear given the opportunity?

Aw man! I can't (or can?) imagine how bad you must have felt, or perhaps continue to feel. One game away! And what's worse was you changed your mind in the last match; if you didn't change your mind and lost with the plan you had originally you could have at least felt that you did your best

Well good luck again! Man, 1 match away from the GSL. Such a huge step... but hey, you're determined as a progamer, so you're already living your dream life :D GL HF!!!

gratz on getting that far. I feel if u had atleast 4 more days to prepare in Korea you would have blazed through 2-0. With Idra to practice with your PvZ would dramatically increase..hope to hear more from you in the future. Also your writing is superb! hopefully you write more, great read.

I gotta say i admire your dedication and it's extremely nice to see a player with this attitude, i wish you all the best in the future and i hope you'll be able to fulfill your goals in SC2.

Good luck!

Aww man, good job nonetheless! Qualifying to GSL is by no means easy even Tester and now NaDa are no strangers to getting knocked out in qualifiers. Props for trying and honestly good job on getting so close.

Good luck in the future and have fun in S. Korea.

@iNcontroL - no one is going to "hate" you for not getting into GSL3, or not getting in top 8 is MLG2, and if they do fuck em. There is a new GSL soon so plenty of time to try again if you wish. Anyone that follows BW and now Sc2 knows that Sc2 is still in flux, there is no "best player"... look at Nada... kicked out in prelims. The "best" player can be knocked out by some random... and Sc2 looks like a long way from stabilising.

At first i wasn't a fan of yours, your build turned me off as it reminded me of the jock assholes I had to enduer though at school but your charm and, imo, some of the funniest and most interesting interviews and articles won me over big time. Keep it up and hey try and do some casting

Anyway, I know your disappointed, and from your letter you sound like you feel you have let US somehow.. Would I have liked to see you get S-Rank? Of course... will I "NOT" be barracking for you at your next comp because of your betray at not winning?

Fuck Yes I will still be barracking for you!!

Look this is going on a bit .. but all I wanted to say is that Sc2 is still in flux and there is no way ANYONE can prepare and consistently beat all comers. We have only scratched the surface of Sc2... there is no shame... get back on the horse and hear the crowd roar when your name is announced for your next live game.

It sounds like you did good, especially for your first time. Obviously it would have been nice for you to qualify but there is a lot of luck in this and vs a good z on scrap station isn't exactly favorable.

We love you anyways as should be clear by the last 8 pages.


BTW, hilarious interview with artosis.
