Yes yes yes. If it is Geoff I will be so happy. I don't always agree with what he says, but he brings so much humor into the show. Geoff + artosis = many laughs.

i'll still watch the podcast, but i cant say im excited for him to return. ive just grown a general dislike for him over time, with all the assorted things he has said/done. im sure it will still be a good podcast anyways <3.

i guess though im a little worried that the podcast might get crowded. hopefully 6 people (5 pillars + guest) isnt too much

to be fair day9 is regularly not on despite being a host (though im not sure how much that will change since he graduated).
even if 5 hosts + guest is a lot of people, we should remember that these guys are all pretty involved and many times the hosts might have other commitments/travel.
if incontrol comes back and everyone has known each other for years i dont think getting talk time will be a problem.

In my opinion Day9 is the worst of the current hosts. I love Day9 but he's not very funny in a large group (unlike Incontrol who is much funnier) and doesn't watch/know that much about the current SOTG.

I'd like to see JP, Artosis, Incontrol, Tyler and Leah.

Leah watches a lot of Sc2, remember a lot of facts about tournaments which keeps the conversation movement and is a nice change of pace from Artosis/Day9/Inc/Tyler which are all pretty similar persoanilities.

I'd be happy to see INC just added on but if he's replacing anyone, I'd vote Day9.

Lol Leah for Day9..serious?

What does Day9 add to SOTG that you don't get with Artosis, only Artosis is funnier on SOTG (he's a good target for InC/Tyler/JP's jokes, unlike Day9) and knows more about the Korean scene.

Day9 is great at MLG and on his daily but he's never been particularly great on SOTG.

No way man Day9 is the best person on the show and I probably wouldn't watch it that often if he wasn't on. Plus he's the only one that follows the gsl and gstl. Every time it comes to the gsl, jp asks did you watch it, and everyone but day9 goes no and then jp goes ok next topic.

Artosis and Leah watch more GSL than Day9 and Sean is so biased against Koreans he rarely actually says anything interesting/relevant about GSL anyway.

What makes Day9 the best person on the show?

1) he is relatively unbiased. besides jp, he is probably the most unbiased out of everybody.
2) people want to hear his opinion (solid fact even if you dont).
3) what makes leah so great for the show? no offense to her but what made SOTG great was the fact that ordinary viewers got to hear what the PROS think and their opinions.

Day9 is the most biased guy on the show and until they get Mr Bitter on as a guest he will remain so.

Every time we have a tournament Day9 will talk for 20 minutes about how Select, Ret, Thorzain, Naniwa and any other foreigners are the best players in the world and can beat anyone before spending 20 seconds saying something along the lines of "and oh yeah the Koreans will probably do well too".

Curious to hear Incontrols explanation for getting back to the show again after all the shit it stirred up after he left it. He can sure make drama!

In the midst of the EG/State of the Game fiasco last time, Alex Garfield has repeatedly said that iNcontroL was allowed back on the show.

I'm not sure how I'd feel about Inc returning. I like their new lineup. Mixed feelings here ..

I like the new lineup but it was missing a spark and love him or hate him, Incontrol certainly brings that to the table. I hope the speculations are true and Geoff is back for good!

An old friend returns tonight on @StateOfTheGame -- for good. Tune in 8:30 PST / 11:30 EST at itmejp.com to find out who it is

He's going to be a pillar not a guest.

From JPs twitter:

"An old friend returns tonight on @StateOfTheGame -- for good. Tune in 8:30 PST / 11:30 EST at http://t.co/B7cHULx to find out who it is"

And from Incontrols twitter several days ago:

"Btw met with a certain someone at mlg... Some good news soon

#atitagain"

Doesn't appear to just be a guest.

You guys might be interpreting that the wrong way.

What if its not someone who was on before but a old person who is friendly.

White-ra is clearly to new pillar

If Incontrol comes back, I really have to question his motives. Other than money, I don't see any other reason. And he disrepects TotalBiscuit motives for coming to Starcraft. Can't see anyone as more of a hypocrite than Geoff. Talk about flip flop. I just don't like the negativity that Geoff brings to SOTG.
