Just because he doesn't get out, doesn't mean he's weak. He went 10-0 thru solid players to get there.
BEFORE THE TOURNAMENT:
"I expect iNcontroL to 0-3 his group, TLO, PU, and Slush are just going to ROFL stomp him, they are so much stronger! TLO could win the whole thing! Watch out for PU to really put on a show!"
THEN:
iNcontroL loses a close series to PU, beats TLO straight up (ZOMG HE USED AIR UNITS AND THE PROTOSS WARP IN MECHANIC), solidly pounds Slush, and rolls Mihai 2-0*
NOW:
"Well obviously his group was WEAKER. I mean... lol TLO what a noob? PU? Has he ever won anything? Mihai, that's a weird name, MUST BE BAD. Slush? Zerg is weak." I really don't want to get into this whole 'how good is inc' argument, but there's no doubt that his group was weaker than the others, especially A and B. PU and Slush are both good, but not in the top tier of foreigners. TLO's been slumping hard for a pretty long while now. I don't know much about mihai tbh, but I doubt anyone would consider him a top foreigner either. They're all good, certainly and going 4-1 in this group's a great result (and better than I expected for inc), but if he wants to really prove himself, he'll have to put up a good showing against Select and the other players he'll be playing today.
I don't blame Incontrol for doing well but, the format is a joke. He played LITERALLY 4 matches(winning 3 and losing 1) and is guaranteed Top 6 even if he loses his next 2 series. In what tournament does that happen that isn't an invitational?!? He practiced hard and took advantage of the situation he was in. He should tank his lucky stars that Huk and Jinro and whoever else that was seeded initially in Top 16 didn't guarantee coming to Dallas or not Incontrol would've had to slave through the Open Tournament.
I'm glad he did well and stepped up when he finally had to win the games put in front of him. Big guy finally showed up.

Yeah I agree entirely but first impressions are really hard to overcome and in most people's eyes, Inc is a second rate player and it's going to be really hard for him to overcome that. YOU CAN DO IT INC. It's because he is second rate, he brags about top 16 finishes in tournaments etc :S You mean he says... Yeah I top 16'd every MLG tournament last year except the finals which he got (wait for it) 18th, and then missed the cut for top 16 by 1 point? How many tournaments has he BEEN IN? Wait, the MLGs? And he waded thru a field of HUNDREDS of players to top 16 every time? WHAT A NOOBLET. I WANT SOMEONE BETTER THAN A GUY WHO MADE WCG TOP 3 IN BROOD WAR. Everyone knows that game is easier. And now you say foreignor BW is weak... Then why the hell do people think Day[9] is so good? The two have mostly identical accomplishments coming into SC2. Excccceeeepptt Inc is the #1 coach in SC2 (be earnings), top 16'd (out of hundreds of people) MLG repeatedly, and, ya know... been playing and doing it really well. EG is here to MAKE MONEY. Do you think they would really be okay with paying a useless salary?
We all know Incontrol is not a noob. But he's definitely not a top player either, he's there in the lot, with some potential if he practices and dedicates himself to tournament play. Top 16 in MLG is "good" it's not "awesome" or "great" by any standards, particularly considering there aren't THAT many strong players in MLG. He played a nice pool phase, and that's solid, nobody's taking that from him.
And don't compare Incontrol to day9. We love day9 not because he was a great BW player, it's mainly because of his charisma. Plus, as a coach, he totally owns incontrol, having coached thousands of unknown scrubs from bronze to whatever better leagues. For free. While being hilarious doing it.

HuK is really chatty and that can get pretty annoying at times  I disagree, if my opponent in a series had just quit when he was ahead because of hallucination, in the next game I would definitely be like 'um...those weren't even units dude you were winning'.

HUK was the one being very BM here. There are rules not to talk in game. He talked. His comments were nothing more than throwing more sand in idras eyes after that loss. Didn't like huk before, certainly don't now. idra; fuck off Yeah HuK is so bm. Come on man if someone quits because of hallucination you are TOTALLY going to tell him. Seriously, it's obvious that you loathe IdrA, but get a grip. HuK started that conversation one minute in to game 3, for no reason. Not only did he break teh rules, but he BMd IdrA, after what was obviously an annoying loss. Sort of like kicking someone when they're down. All respect to HuK, but he was the agressor, and should at least have gotten a penalty, or something, HuK the agressor? Starting conversation for no reason? What about idra leaving without a GG ?
You don't usually say why the opponent lost if the game is still ongoing. That's just rude!! It also applies to other sports, "You lost coz you didn't block my shot". I won't be surprise if you get punched after saying that. Huk is a PRO and that act was really immature.

Do you think they would really be okay with paying a useless salary? Dude, chill. Top 16 isn't anything to brag about if you want to be considered a top player. And no one cares about Broodwar archievements in this discussion. He never made top 3 in WCG anyway I don't know where you got that from. As for the coaching thing. Incontrol is a great guy and I think from what I've heard from him that he has a really good understanding of the game. That and being able to teach makes one a great coach. Actual ability isn't that important. Bill Walsh or Scotty Bowman weren't particular impressive as players IIRC.
wait wait... So winning WCG 2007 isn't top 3? Whoops. Tell Liquipedia and Ultimate Gamer they are being lied to.
iNcontroL has top 16'd (OUT OF HUNDREDS OF PLAYERS) the events he has gone to. He doesn't play in small tournaments. Why? He makes more money coaching. Most American players (cept the Liquid Boys) cannot afford to travel. MLG are the ONLY big tournaments besides IEM once a year. What is he supposed to do, create his own tournament and then do really well (wait a second...)?
LiquidTyler has as few results. People aren't blindly hating him. Haypro has as few results. No blind hate. When was the last time Machine, Antec, or Drewbie won anything? Wait so Group D is about equal to group C in power level? Yet people aren't flaming Naniwa for beating an unimpressive group (I am all about Nani going 24-0).
