Geoff left a huge and positive mark on my hearth even tho I never met him peronally

I'll miss his voice and personality so much...and his humor...

RIP Geoff, you will always remain for us as esports/starcraft titan!

Thank you for sharing Nathanias. Your beautiful writing helps to understand my own feelings after these shocking news. I am sad for so many reasons. I am sad for not being able to watch his stream anymore. I am sad for you and the rest of the "core" SC2 team as I see you as friends and I can only imagine your feeling. I am so sad for Anna. I am sad for everyone who would have met him if he was still with us because he really seemed like the guy who brought joy with him wherever he went.

Rest In Peace Geoff

I sent this message to ZG on reddit but want to make sure you see it too. No idea what you must be feeling. You're in our thoughts.

I just want to reach out and tell you that the whole SC community is thinking of you guys (Rotti, Feardragon, Tasteless, Artosis, Zombigrub, all of the casters, etc.) and despite all of the caster comments on your youtube VODs and who we think is the best or whatever bullshit we throw at you all, we love you guys. It might not seem like it at times, and we say hurtful things, but at the end of the day we need you all.

You all are the backbone of the professional scene. I myself have been part of starcraft for almost a decade as a fan and player, and watching you all has been a treat. It hurts me so much to learn that Geoff has passed, even though I never met him in real life. I feel like I knew him... To be so young and to encounter such misfortune. It's extremely saddening.

The point is, I am sitting here at work choking up and almost crying because of the horrible news. Feels silly coming from me, a nobody, but emotions are emotions, I suppose. From my own reaction, I can't fathom what you and your coworkers must be going through and feeling after losing a friend like that. You actually did know him. I just wanted to offer my sincere condolences, and I hope you and the team can get past this together. Please know that the SC community mourns and has you all in their thoughts. I think I speak for everyone in saying this. <3


I echo everything you just said. In a weird way we have this feeling that we know them, and the sadness we are feeling just proof how much we care about them too.

100% agree. I have been watching him for years and I feel like I know him. Even though I never met him it still hurts all the same bc in many ways I looked up to him. His passion for things outside of starcraft (physical fitness and health) really helped me to cultivate my love for that lifestyle. I had always said I would visit a dreamhack and meet the SC2 personalities that I have been watching for many years. I am saddened to know that I will never get the chance to have a beer with Geoff.

Beautifully written, thank you.

It has been one of my greatest pleasures to do WCS Challenger with Incontrol in the last year. We both went up to Marc who was in charge last year and made a case that we should be allowed to be more stupid on air since it was not a premier tournament and we had to be up at 5am to cast what would amount to "group stage 3" type games from Dreamhack until the top 4 of NA(top 16 of EU Keepo). Blizzard gave us free reign to troll on air and we both talked about getting Feardragon out of his shell more too(I think we've accomplished that as Ravi has become such a more confident caster and I love working with him). We kinda owned that show in the last year and every season we'd talk about new things to focus on and drag out to keep things interesting since we knew Serral couldn't lose (and when he did oh boy it just made things super fun tbh lol).


I'd also like to thank you for this specifically, as one of the few people who knows exactly how difficult this is.

Thank you Nate for sharing this. I've never felt this type of emotional impact from the passing of someone I've never met. For me, it is a testament to his character. Geoff's incredible intelligence, humor, and passion while being so welcoming was magnetic. I feel like I lost a true friend. RIP Geoff.
