You are one of the people that make any event better by being part of it. I can't say that about that many.

Know that for every hotheaded poster complaining about anything about you, there are about 5 people loving what you do, but not posting about it.

Good luck with everything.

That did it for me Inc. I've always been a huge fan, but the recent (not really that recent anymore but) missteps of yours I felt like you defended yourself too much, you appeared a bit arrogant in some cases. Seeing you here admitting to not dealing with the instances very well, is very much so appreciated.

Gl in 2013, I'll be rooting for you!

Grats again on the engagement/marriage Geoff! I think you are one of the most entertaining casters in the scene. Great mixture of player knowledge while being funny, something many commentators (in esports and physical sports) don't get right. Keep up the good work dude

The people who hate on Incontrol wouldn't say it to his face because they know they would find themselves in a headlock in no time. That and hes a gentle giant, a well spoken and thoughtful individual. I admire his passion and dedication to SC2 and how cool is it that his girlfriend and wife is a former pageant winner. I think it's safe to say that people who hate on Inc are jealous of the kind of life he's living.

You were one of the early protoss players that I started following in starcraft 2 and I always hoped that you would do well, but even now I still respect and enjoy the work you do and the casting

"Sundays I practice throughout the day, go to church, watch the seahawks and spend more than just an hour or so with Anna."

Wtf. I was certain you was a normal liberal. Mind blown.

Anyway, Idra seems to have hit a wall regarding his work out. Hasn't really gained any muscles over the last year. Does he work out every day or just 2-3 times/Week?

What about his nutrition?

You're welcome Geoff & thank you. I've never really liked/disliked you in the past, but your passion is inspiring.
That passion makes me wanna root for you, and so I am, good luck wherever you end up in life.

And congratulations on the incoming wedding!

Incontrol I don't post here at all, I am more lurker than poster but I must say since the first time I saw you SoTG I always thought you were a good-hearted honest person. No one should fault you for speaking your mind, something that comes so naturally to you I think you do it almost without thinking. I have not doubted you, I know your commitment to the community, to the game and to your fans is genuine. I hope you to one day be the John Madden(I don't know sports so forgive any mis-allusions I just mean to imply you can be a symbol of the industry) of Starcraft or whatever game e-sports takes you to. I know that if you did win a major championship I would not be only one to be over-joyed. I have seen a lot of the work you put in, casting, streaming, and etc. and the amount of passion that I see you putting in definitely warrants at the very least warrants the respect of the community.
You are a good player, commentator, entertainer, and person. Don't let others tell you different.

Geoff you are one of the few people I respect in the sc2 community, the passion you have for basically everything you do is inspiring. There are very few people within the esports scene like you and its a shame because you are one of the only reasons I play, watch, and support everything to do with sc2, all i can say is keep up the amazing work, cant wait for dreamhack <3.

Also one bit of advise for dealing with negative comments / trolls is unless you personally value their opinions (family, friends or w/e) then just think to yourself why am I even considering giving this a response or taking this to heart, the comments of people over the internet will almost always have some negative, misguided or outright biased meaning behind it and it is actually pointless letting idiotic comments like that have an impact on your state of mind.

Keep doing what your doing, its why we all love you so much GL at dreamhack and hope everything goes perfect for you and Anna in December, best of luck <3.
