If it has nothing to do with it he could come out and say it
The fact that he hasn't confirmed that it's not true doesn't mean it is. There's lots of other possible reasons, does he need to go down the list and address every single one?
Also, the way he was talking at the beginning of the show made it pretty clear that he's exhausted from all the work he's doing right now, and that he's frustrated with how little he's able to practice. I think that in the absence of any real evidence, that's the most logical reason, rather than jumping to some baseless conjecture about EG based on some offhand comment about whether IdrA could be on next week.

The cold weather theory by Huk is the most stupid thing I've heard(Geoff was just trying to be funny, so you can't call that stupid).
I think Geoff's theories were quite amazing. It makes so much sense now. The hotness of their women actually makes it so men have a lower sex drive. I don't know why I couldn't see it before. It's a breakthrough in the understanding of the male mind.

are people for here for real? inc has about a 100 different things to do right now, obviously he has to choose. and i guess that they are being payed from itg. so why wouldnt he choose that?
|
Just listened the episode40.
HELL YEAH NANIWA in Korea.
Nice episode, I love Naniwa mindset, I'm sure he'll love the practice regime there as he want to train very hard it seems.
Too bad Inc leaves sotg, I guess he doesn't have too much choice because he must do insideTG and his time is not unlimited. I mean NASL takes him at least 6 hours a day, when could he practice ?
The only problem for me as a viewer is that inside the game is still mediocre compared to sotg imo. I'm an avid sotg watcher, I wouldn't miss an episode, and when I watch itg I just skip skip skip and watch nothing. (but itg will evolve I'm sure)

The best thing about the SC community for me has always been the level of interaction between pros/casters and their fans. SotG has always felt like the purest example of that, just some guys chilling and chatting, sharing their thoughts with whoever cares to tune in. Players chatting to us as they stream, JP and friends commenting the NASL, drunk casts and MLG afterparties, these are things that we have grown to take for granted. Is the removal of such privileges the price that has to be paid for SC2 to grow?
If that is the case, then honestly I really don't want to see it grow.
This is exactly how i feel. In fact the community of SCBW and SC2 helped grow my love for the game more so than playing the game itself. I always felt like even though i didn't see the faces on the team liquid forums, they were my friends. SotG once every week was kind of like my night out with the boys. I work a lot now a days but SotG helps keep my love for SC alive. With Geoff leaving it feels like im losing a close friend.Although he still is active i wont have the same interaction with him, it will feel like getting a letter in the mail, disconnected and non personal.
I wish Geoff the best in everything that he does. If he feels this is best then i support him. But it never feels good to see a friend leave.
Looking to the future of sc2 things just seem a bit dimmer.

I don't think there's any conspiracy here. Geoff is doing full time commentating, coaching, travelling, spending time with his girlfriend, playing professionally, and doing other shows (EGMCS commentating sometimes, ITG). He's always said playing competitively is incredibly important for him, and while SotG has been great for him, his public profile is high enough right now and he's fully booked for coaching, so he doesn't need the publicity from being on a show that doesn't pay him. He probably just has to cut some things so that he can practice enough.

I really doubt that it has anything to do with EG, any good manager (which Scoots seems to be) would be glad to have their players on a popular show plugging their sponsors and getting the team's name out there. SotG doesn't have any sponsors, so it's not like there's a conflict there. IdrA needing to be "cleared" to be on next week more likely has to do with his practice schedule for MLG and his other obligations with EGMCS and stuff like that, and Geoff leaving probably is just a matter of being too busy and having to make a tough choice for his own sanity. If it has nothing to do with it he could come out and say it
He also didn't refute my claims that he is being blackmailed by the gay mafia. Surely if the gay mafia had nothing to do with this he'd come out and say it.

well after buff after buff, Zergplayers finally use their options instead of Roach/Hydra/Corruptor.
it bound to happen that the matchup gets harder for Protoss if their opponent doesn't play 1 dimensional and predicable.
What funny is that i.e. the Infestorbuff didn't change much at all but now everyone is using them, while some month ago almost nobody did use them because they did "suck".
While sure Infestor do more DPS, the total damage is almost the same, and the lockdown effect got worse. I am 100% sure if they did reverted the Patches to before those changes happend, Zerg players would still do fine now (atleast for ZvP, ZvT is a different story because of medivacs)
Spanishwa, new Aggressionstimings, and Armystyles, all that make Protoss now headaches.
And i recall Idra saying Zerg was explored and there was nothing more to find (some SotG episodes back)
Which just shows how the race whines to get new stuff...
Blizzard should just haven't change anything at all, and players would have found a way around it.
But tweaking things that weren't broken in reality, induce new problems.
Question is shouldn't players figure out solutions before Blizzard as a last last last resort tweaks the game stats?
By going for the recent patch policy, Protoss needs buffs because they have a "hard" time dealing with now...
vicious circle if Blizzard doesn't stop do changed because of balance whining.
Those aren't words.

In fact, most of the things you said were wrong.
Stop with the easy simplification, use your brain and come with a better post than a 20 liner explaining why Zerg players are noob whiners.

Now that Zerg is fixed according to these 4 protoss players, can someone tell me how to deal with the protoss 3 base death ball?

I find it strange that he said that it might be his last show as guest as well. I mean his schedule being busy enough for a full-time host on SOTG is obvious and understandable, but to imply that he won't ever take part in the show again is weird to say the least. It's also obvious that EG gravitates towards ITG nowadays.
Anyway, I'm more worried about the announcement that the show is taking a break personally. Any hints about how long is this break going to take?

Don't give up JP, you don't need InControl, I'd even like to say as you like to say from time to time on SOTG about certain players. Fuck InControl :D And remember, this is the internet don't take it too seriously please...
I'll still love it, sure he's fun and all but that doesn't mean there are 10's of other hilariously fun people out there to take his place, abit sad PainUser is on the other bandwagon but meh =) Because you are much much nicer and fun to listen to than Chill, so you have that up on them Good luck and don't you dare give up, we need you as you can hear everyone saying. You are the highlight for me and more many others each week that you're on, simply nothing else is better than SOTG. I'd even consider giving up sex for it if my girlfriend wouldn't mind. And remember, you will always have this on InControl as it actually was you in a way that made him famous in the E-Scene!
Love you!

About the Archon talk of Inc, I'm not sure it is valid (but I say that intuitively, I only play T and Z) Because when protoss are making colossi, they invest a LOT in those, and make 4-5 colossi+thermal lance.
The same resources would be like 5 archons which are quite powerful (even more if you storm before).
(on a related note, chargelots are awesome in PvZ :D)

Go in to the strategy section, make a thread, post a replay, analyze your game, ask for help/ advise.

Hahah incontrol's take on swedish gamers. Can't stop laughing. :D

Sad to see Incontrol go, he's a funny guy. Won't really miss him too much though, considering he's so commited to the community in other ways. Might actually be a good thing. In some ways I think Incontrol is like a glass of wine, fantastic by it self and, to a certain extent, lesser the more you consume.
I want to believe JP is taking a break to plan how things will be in the future. He did manage to create the greatness that is SoTG, what makes you people doubt the quality of it in the future will be less than good?
I do think Incontrol is best (funniest) around controversy and drama, and theres less of that on ITG, so I guess I am quite dissappointed.

The fact that everyone is so fucking crazy about being professional and making moneys now. I don't think JP is like that, so I don't think SotG will become a sponsered place for dull pseudo-discussion, but it's a theoretical possibility, so I could see how people would fear that.

JP said a lot of people have expressed interest to be in the next episode and it is up to Incontrol to decide who is accepted. Being "cleared" may just mean that.
Overall I don't really care about Incontrol leaving. He used to be really funny on it but ever since he started NASL and started acting "professional" he has been really boring. When Day[9] comes back and they have some other new people appearing on it I think it will be totally fine. Huk should definitely return, he was great imo. He feels like a guy who doesn't give a shit what people think.

JP Invite total-biscuit ,
it will take exactly two shows till InControl will beg to come back (and also i think TB can fit InControl spot pretty well )
Just wanted to say SotG is my favorite pod-cast , love you guys , i think the show is irreplaceable and hope you come back soon! I need my drug for the long drives to work , don't leave me stranded .
