Glad to see you're apologizing. Joking around is cool, perfect example: the horse jokes! hilarious! Joking around at someones expense is not... eg, Kelly... Bagging Sundance's name... etc... Just makes you look like a dick. Artosis jokes on the other hand are a different matter, you obviously are Really close friends so it is cool... Restreaming GSL though? for a prominent member of the community like you who in roughly a month will be trying to do whatever he can to get people to purchase the NASL stream? That's the lowest of lows... I kind of wish you went in to more of an apology on that issue. You love e-sports? you love us all? you love starcraft 2? you love the community? Purchase a GSL stream -_- | ||

As a player who joined Teamliquid relatively late I actually didn't know you until maybe MLG Dallas when I saw you in the post MLG after show witha ll those interviews. I didn't think you were a douchebag or egotistical, at least in comparison to most people. To me you were just a stereotypical jock guy, (yelling GIT SOME), lifting weights, etc. With a twist though, you were also a video game nerd but still kept on that semi frat bro feel to you. Now I don't mean this in a negative way, my best friends are in fraternities, (pike to be exact). So overall I liked your personality, it was funny, social, confident, but also nerdy. It however took a nasty turn when there was some tasteless comments about tasteless and milkies and just all that went on that night. I understand fun jabs at someone because thats how guys do, we cap on each other. But the way people were telling you to go on and how they were hanging on every word on it just turned me off. I find trash talking to be fun if it's for the sport of it or to hype things up. What was said went beyond it and went to IdrA level shit talking to where it's not for anything but just being... for the lack of better word... being a dick. In the chat's I and even in the live thread, IdrA Fans were hanging on to his everyword and talking about how IdrA called huk "such a little loser", or something. I mention IdrA because there are many fans of yours who also copy and imitate your words and follow them. So being careful with your words is a necessity if you want to be a role model for E-Sports at a level Day9 is. So I am very honestly impressed with your response to the whole fiasco. I wasn't a fan (or a hater) before, but definitely a fan now. Good luck with everything man. | ||

People make mistakes, it doesn't make him spineless. Just a lot of people don't get his humor. Mo money mo problems. | ||

I'll always be a fan of your play style and hard working attitude and your passion for the community but there are times where you have to draw the line and I'm glad you did. | ||

We love your humor and enthusiasm. Mean spirited humor is always welcome in any business. I go to the University of Kansas and I love hearing Dick Vitale or Bob Knight trash talk the teams that come to our school and get stomped in basketball. I love hearing athletes trash talk others. It's great. It's part of life man. You can't transcend humanity. Remember, Heracles killed his entire family and then committed suicide by lighting himself on fire. Think about it. He ended up on Olympus, but that's just mythology bro. | ||

Your apology and desire to improve are appreciated, and that's all anyone could ever ask of you. People make mistakes, and do the wrong thing occasionally. This just proves you're human--that's all. Nobody's a saint. The fact that you're trying to do the right thing is the only relevant issue. Keep whipping it real good, brotoss. Hope to see you on stream again sometime soon. | ||

Geoff, you're a successful pro-gamer with a beautiful girlfriend who is spearheading the biggest e-sports venture in NA history, and in general you are not a miserable basementnerd. You're never going to win the approval of the Internet Hate Machine. Just keep doing good work, anyone who matters has forgiven you. | ||

People will always find something to complain about. For whatever reason, this week is merely 24/7 of Inc being targeted and blowing everything way, way, way, way, way out of proportion. Some of the responses people have given were as if they actually deserved an apology directly from Geoff. Shit makes me sick. This seems more like an excuse for a community to gang up and collectively share a voice... even if it's on the dumbest subject ever. | ||

I think you can be an extremely powerful face of eSports in the west, if you stick to everything you say in the post. From what i've seen of your attitude i think it will be tough, but just remember everyone on TL supports you if you have a positive goal to reach, and we will be here to back you up. Self-righteous douchebag of the year candidate. User was warned for this post | ||

The amount of ridiculous shit he received over tiny, petty, comments blows my mind. The people talking about him "restreaming the gsl" have no clue what they're talking about.

I think Kelly should apologize to him for ruining everyones fun and asking him not to mock her anymore. | ||

Nit pick all you want, but understanding sarcasm, having thick skin and the realization that nobody is perfect will reach you eventually. Your nickname is very suiting to what you're doing on these boards. If I was trying to make him look evil, I would go on a crazy internet crusade and make things up, not come to this thread and post facts/things people actually said and did. Thick skin and sarcasm has nothing to do with my other posts, if you actually read them calmly and objectively you would know that. The only thing that could POSSIBLY be about sarcasm is when Incontrol referred to someone as a "random forum poster", and that was maybe 10% of the things I said. If by nit picking, you mean actually reading everything that happened and forming an opinion on it (that incontrol did some not so good things, and has apologized for them so he is all good now) then yes, I am nitpicking. It seems people don't want to know everything that happened and would rather have half the story they like and move on. I understand, fanboys gonna fan. I like Incontrol too, I literally stayed up late at night when I should have gone to sleep (incontrol doesn't stream at the most convenient time for east coasters), just to watch his stream because he is so fun to watch and listen to...but I guess to some people clearly naming everything that happened is "trying to make him look evil." | ||
