So I was listening to State of the Game and he mentioned he was interested in casting some tournaments... Is it just me or would that be totally awesome ? The guy is as funny as a barrel of laughs every time he opens his mouth. Anyone got an idea of a tournament we could try to get him into casting ?

I would not shit bricks but he has a great casting personality and it would be swell.

As a matter of fact, he is a VERY GOOD caster, like, really above the average casting quality we se arounds there. I remember watching those showmatches (gosucoaching, i think, or something similar), that he casted, and they were so good

I love that man. I love him more than I love SC2 but less than Artosis loves guinea pigs.

I love Incontrol, he's always on the ball regarding entertainment and hilarity, especially in this week's SotG he was on fire.

I would rather see him playing in more events instead of casting, his play is fascinating and I personally can't get enough of it. It sucks seeing awesome players quitting playing to commentate.
Have you considered the MMO-Champion forum? You are just as irrational and delusional with the right portion of nostalgic populism. By the way: The old Brood War was absolutely unplayable

I always hear about how casters are always very busy and that casting takes up a lot of time. If Geoff were to blow up with casting would this mean he is going to cut down on playing? An obvious one would be if he is casting a tournament, chances are he isn't playing in it.
I get it.

I like iNc's casting style. Very fluent, entertaining and without long periods of silence while providing detailed enough game analysis. However, I am not sure how you want to get him a casting opportunity. So far it seems as if the casters set up their streams first and then gather a following by streaming various tourneys.

Artosis played in GSL even though he was commentating.

If he wants a casting gig, he could get a casting gig. He doesn't need our help. He's very talented, and I hope he does cast more tournies, but there's no need to make it happen for him.

GSL goes at a much slower pace than the majority of tournaments.

He does so much already in terms of coaching, competing, and creating content, that he would literally need to warp space-time in order to go full swing into commentating as well. Of course, I'm sure he could threaten God a bit and get it worked out.

Sure, I'd tune in if he was casting.
He makes me laugh; he's such a cheery person.

He did ask for help to get a casting gig though.

this isn't exactly what you have in mind, I'm sure, but it's something soon that will be very entertaining and, yes, is cast by iNcontroL

Only if we got the real iNcontrol, no garbage corporate version with all the politically incorrect fun taken out!

haha thanks guys It's true a lot of doing commentating comes from self-motivated work like getting a stream etc. That said community support DOES help tremendously. When people are putting together tourneys and considering commentators it's easy to go with the ones already out there like day9, wheat etc.. so a lil community pull helps make them lean towards me as well.

Tune in this weekend for the Battle in the Bronze for an idea of what I am capable of. Additionally check out a showmatch or two I will be casting sometime soon

What? GSL goes at breakneck speed compared to BW Starleagues, at the beginning there are like 9 matches in a day =/

He's casted before and he can be a really excellent caster. Would love him to get into it hardcore, but as stated I don't think he'd be able to fit it in his schedule
