You made me cry man. These tribute stories to Geoff are so awesome, and reinforce every positive impression I already had of the man.

It's been a day and I still cannot believe I'll never experience his infectious banter and humor again. For someone who seemed to be dealing with a lot of hardship behind the scenes, he was also a role model and inspiration for me. Thank you for sharing this, Nathanias.

A lot of love to both of you from Rio de Janeiro.

Its too sad.... But its also warming to realize how loved Incontrol is.

And im sure all the love he shared will go on on each person that was touched by it... that's what im choosing to focus on, and that's what i'm thankful about!

Rest in peace, Incontrol!

Kindly, Rômulo.

I didn't realize Geoff was going through some hardships for the last 12 months. That's a real shame. He didn't let it show when I watched him stream.

Thanks Nate, this is a great write up. And thanks for all the work you do for our community. I will now buy Incontrol's voice pack and cry while I ladder.

Thank you Nathanias, I still can't process what has happened. I never even met Incontrol, but now never being able to meet such a magnificent person in the future hurts me. The world has certainly lost something dear today.

Thanks to all casters for being such a great part of our lives.

Thanks for sharing Nate. I vividly remember the days of you radio casting SPL when proper English stream was almost not a thing, and you deserve every single bit of success you got these years. I'm sure Geoff wouldn't want it any other way.

Joy and sadness mix in a great struggle and It's hard to control those two emotional demons inside. Because I want to remain with joy by knowing that iNcontrol was and always be a part in this SC family. I mean I really don't want to spend all these moments in tears and mourning but with a smile remembering so many cool moments while watching his incredible honesty and humor.
It's nice to read this letter by Nate. Keep it cool, buddy.

"hey bud you look super nervous what's on your mind"

This kind of skill is perhaps by many misunderstood. This level of empathy, and as you, say his non-need to troll and burn your breakthrough on the stage as you cast your first big event alongside him, is EXACTLY why his legacy stands as strong as it does.

It is a display of leadership that from his position in Starcraft has been truly needed.
