Incontrol has always been really good at leaving risky business endeavors at the right time. He did it first with the SC2 guide and then with the SC2 coaching (just search for that stuff on the archives). NASL is probably on a really bad spot right now (a 5000 euros tournament like HomeStory racks up to 20000 viewers while the NASL does what, half of that?) , so he can't be blamed for taking some distance from it. | ||

His oh so much praised "high level analysis" is not there anymore as he is not an active top player and his casing style just not my thing at all. I know it's against the general consensus but I dont think Day9 should be casing NASL. But this thread is not about casters. Incontrol really seems to have a history of starting endeavours and then leaving the sinking ship pretty early. I dont want to blame him or anything, but there seems to be a pattern. I dont feel like the NASL will be successful: Production value is really bad (just look at the graphics - they look like they were taken from some total annihilation website of the late 90s) considering what GSL, Dreamhack, MLG or IPL do. The format is extremely boring. Who wants to watch months of group play where there is nothing on the line and even if it is, it doesnt feel like it? Gretorps casting, although he seems like an OK guy is just not acceptable for a commercial league. If the finals tournament is not absolutely amazing, I feel they will have to close down on the long run. But who knows, maybe they will find some genious unknown caster I do think Incontrol learned from the experience and will not be so eager to put his name on everything in the future. Despite all the negativity in this post, I'm really looking forward to see him again as a top player and hopefully (you can still hope) also on SotG (please?). Wish you the best of luck, Geoff! | ||

IMO the league will improve because of this and I'm very happy iNcontrol is leaving. I don't see why he was warned. | ||

Or maybe the mod thinks NASL is a joke and projected that onto his warning without thinking? Because its basically a 0 content post I guess? My acount its not really that old and I know mods don´t like posts like that. Anyways, good to hear that from Incontrol. I feel pretty conflicted because I really liked his coaching but its obvious its eating a lot of his practice time. And LOL, people a league is always less exciting than a tournament, what a league aims to do is create constant content for a constant viewership. I mean, NASl has a pretty good constant number of viewers(I think its a super cool model because now I can watch SC almost daily) but of course the regular season its not going to be able to compete with stuff like Dreamhack or MLG. Its like comparing Playoffs to the superbowl, they are 2 different beasts. good luck to Incontrol | ||

The warning text showed up there accidentally. | ||

But on the other hand, respect that he goes for the game first and foremost. I hope this choice brings him fortune! | ||
