I always respected your will to compete alongside your huge other commitments. You're a great commentator and host and we all love you for it. It's good you're focussing on keeping yourself healthy emotionally and not letting the angry trolls drag you into the mud. Keep up the good work and enthusiasm

This person is the same guy who started to make a name of himself since many years ago by leading the USA nation, managing players, arranging nation/clan war and etc without fail in the old BroodWar WGTour days way back in 2003. He was the reason I started to pay attention to those 2nd tier Americans back in the days and these are also the same batch of people who have now became the elite NA players that you are watching today.

All it takes is a small imagination of what he has done for the community or in particular, the NA scene. I see no reasons in why people would dislike the very same person who is part of the group into making what SC2 is today.

Learn how to appreciate, peeps. Go Geoff!

I was first introduced to you doing an interview with husky outside a mall in Oregon on a windy day. Later I found this podcast called state of the game and you quickly became my favourite sc2 personality. If you didn't do the things you do that get reddit trolls up your ass 24/7 you also wouldn't have people like me as fans. So fuck reddit and keep up the good work!

Great read. It's rather nice to get some more insight into you as a person, and it's only encouraged me to make an effort to up my support for you. I genuinely enjoy watching your stream, listening to you cast, or just shoot the shit with people on talkshows. You're a stellar guy, Geoff.

Geoff you're awesome. I'll finish up that Evil Genestealer squad for ya soon because I'm behind a few players since your teams' roster has expanded. My list tells me I models for Suppy, Stephano, HuK, JYP, and Alex Garfield still. Alex will probably be a broodlord if I can manage it. You and your team are a big part of why I got involved (although minorly) with SC2. Keep being awesome.

Can't wait to see you cast at DH, Geoff and huge congrats on getting married (with Anna Prosser no less, you lucky man you)!

Been a fan since I first heard you speak. Cheered loudly for you during MLG Dallas (2011 I think it was, when you got fourth?) and love your shit still. Keep doing things, and I'll keep watching.

Great blog post, Geoff! By the way, have you ever thought of joining a local Toastmasters club/chapter? I'm part of one at my work/company (been part of it for 2.5'ish years, now), and I've thought for a VERY long time that all the casters and SC2 personalities should really consider it, because it's a great place to get feedback AND practice with different aspects of speaking and presentation. It's very evaluation based, too, so if you find a decent club you can get a lot of useful and positive feedback.

In summary, you may REALLY enjoy being part of a local Toastmasters club/chapter! I think it's something all the other casters should think about joining

I even tried to spread the word to Day[9] when I met him at the end of Day 1 @ NASL (Toronto), heh heh.

The whole starcraft 2 e-sports scene wouldn't be the same without you.
