First of all: Incontrol is not on the same level as Naniwa, Thorzain, Dimaga etc. So I doubt that he will be able to compete and win tournaments.

Its sad to see NA canceling events. It seems like Europe is the only place besides Korea where you can run successfully tournaments.

I enjoyed iNcontroL's NASL casting very much and it's sad that he will no longer be on most of the shows, but I'm more excited for the fact that I will now have a chance to see more of iNcontroL the SC2 gladiator! The possibility of seeing him in person, competing in EU events, makes me very happy.

Best of Luck iNcontroL!

incontrols calling was as a player not a caster. That's both a complement and a criticism. I think he came a long way, but came to that inevitable crossroads where he had to choose between being the best player he can be or the best caster he could be and made the best choice.

I'm sad to see you leaving as a caster, but honestly couldn't be happier to see you jumping in with both feet into competing. I've always cheered for you and was so psyched at your 4th place finish at MLG, I just wish it was first. Now I have even more reason to cheer for you as I know you won't be doing it with the proverbial hand tied behind your back due to other responsibilities.
Good luck and don't sweat the haters. They just seem to love accusing you of things that you didn't even do pretty much all the time.

I love Geoff as a caster, however I greatly respect his decision to focus on his career as a player. Best of luck, Geoff!

Yea I'm down to see iNcontrol bring home a #1 spot from a big tourny. Id rather watch him play in NASL vs cast it anyways. (not knocking his casting, he is just such a sick player and could be so much better if he devoted all his SC time to gaming.)

Its good and bad, bad for the NASL but good for anyone who wants to see incontrol become the baller of a player he can be.

All the best to everyone involved.

Personally if given the choice of seeing geoff as a top tier caster or a top tier player, I'd choose player. Not to take anything away from him as a commentator, but you can tell he's a competitor, and thats where his heart lies, so that's where we will see 100% come out of him. And Geoff at 100% is a scary thing, best of luck.
