Incontrol showed in MLG how solid his play really is and this performance really shows it aswell. Too bad you couldn't make it into the ro64 but there will be more chances. I love to hear you ripping up roach / ling all ins too.

I was so bummed out to see the bracket and you losing the last game. I (like a gazillion others) were frantically refreshing gomtv.net forums, tl.net and the playxp thread as well as twitter for any news on how you're doing. You're a personality e-sports really needs; outgoing and funny not to mention a great player. Keep up the good work, haters are gonna hate but I bet there are way more people that would love to see you do well and support you every step of the way.

Good job man.

Tho I have to agree with Senx's post from page 2, you need to trust your standard game more.
I noticed it in your BW games too, whenever you played a player who was considered better than you, you often played really weird. That's of course good in the short term, but it's for your own best good to say "fuck it, I'm not gonna be that player anymore". Play straight up and use more of the oov mindset: "start the game imagining crushing your opponent"

How great it must've felt for oov and Flash nowadays when, while other players have confidence in their awesome new build, or cute micro, they just have to play their game and people shit their pants and get all paranoid from the pure strenght.

Develop monster standard play, save the cheesing for mindgames in the GSL Finals.

Dear Incontrol,

I almost wrote you a PM begging you to milk IdrA for all he was worth, and I'm glad you've done so. Please give him a kick in the ass every time he slacks up on practice. It's probably not gonna happen but just in case. Best of luck with the EG house. As a EG fanboy I look forward to a day when you, IdrA, Machine, LZ, and everyone I'm forgetting get to spend a week or more picking each others brain.

Here to your return to the states and MLG tournaments as a better player. Also don't you find it odd you're named incontrol yet can't seem to control your brain? I know I do. Don't think, react.

I was cheering hard for you. Sad that you were so close to qualifying and didn't manage to. Hopefully you can stay till the next GSL and I'm confident with all the Korean training you'll get, you will do as well as Haypro and Jinro.

Just kidding. Congrats and kudos on making it as far as you did. You definitely owe it to yourself to try and qualify for the next GSL, you have the work ethic and potential to go far.

Cheers.

I was trying to get past Websense at school all day to find out whether you qualified or not.

Next time, Incontrol

Can you offer any guesses as to why the korean P's who I've seen do 1gate expands PvT have all eschewed the zealot/stalker opening in favor of stalker/sentry openings? Is it something to do with the way korean T's play?

Well damnit. I was actually totally rooting for you. Listening to SOTG I first thought you were a complete dick, but then I realized I totally didn't get your humor, and I then realized that you're funny as hell to listen to. And also one of the most honest guys on the scene, so I was completely rooting for you and I'm sad you didn't make it. As per your comments on SOTG, I'm not gonna say "gz on getting that far". You're gonna kick ass next time around I'm sure.

Can anyone confirm that it was Moon he played against? I was under the impression he was playing Terran?

Edit: Seems like it was, damn Geoff, you have NOTHING to be sorry for and anyone who hates on you is a fool. You lost to the fucking 5th race! Keep ballin' dude.

it is such a bummer that you were just 1 win away from RO64.

You are, in all honesty, my favorite SC2 pro-gamer, because you are bad-ass and funny.
(right after the fruit dealer who sold fruit to aide his sick dad.) who isn't bad-ass and funny but is very noble. Bad-Ass > Noble.

Looking forward to see the progress and growth that you've made as a gamer after this experience.

EDIT: oh yeah, when are you going to compete in something again?

Great text! Keep in mind that you have a bunch of fans cheering for you back here ^^ I believe you had a win, as a bunch of great players did not qualify and you did very well

I'm seriously bummed you didn't make it was hoping to see you do well in the GSL.

HelloPrime said in his interview after the match with you that he had really hard qualifier matches and that you were his hardest match among them. Also that he was shaken after your comeback win in game 2. Against the #18 ranked player in Korea that is no small feat.

Incontrol, does this mean that when EG sets up house in Korea, you are going to move there? It could be assumed, but I just thought I would make sure.
