I felt him leaving SOTG was a bad choice because its basically the platform that launched him to fame in STARCRAFT 2 (we all know Geoff was known by the small foreigner BW people). Now leaving the NASL is just #2 in the bad decisions he's made. I understand he wants to be a top level player and competition is his passion but at some level you have to be wise about your options and future. Retracting into the bowels of competitive play when you have the entire SC2 community spotlight is just a terrible decision. Geoff should embrace his role as an esports ambassador and excelling community member, that is where he will 'make it'. Does Geoff think hes gained so much fame and notoriety, commercial deals and casting jobs because of his playing skills? Does he think he's being invited to intel panels and traveling on company dimes because he's a top player? Let's be real... Anyway, I wish him all the luck as a player. EG was one of my favorite teams pre-starcraft. I just think these moves he's been making to reduce his community involvement to focus on playing more are foolish. edit: I know this post sounds harsh like I'm an incontrol hater but nothing could be further from the truth. I will cheer incontrol on throughout his gaming career and root for EG almost always. It's just hard to see someone come so far from the obscurity of brood war to toss aside some really great opportunities because they want to be a 'champ.' What I just posted about incontrol I would say to my best friend if the situation existed. | ||

In his current condition, hes not a top tier player. I'm not trying to pile on incontrol or anything but if you watch his games he does seem to over rely on gimmicky play. His 4th place at mlg dallas was a good result but if you look at his path there it's honestly a bit of a fluke. I don't think he can consistently beat top tier players in standard games and that's the reality for him right now. He probably feels it too otherwise he wouldn't be taking this action. | ||

I will miss his humor in his casts though. At least he will probably cast in some other things like the EGMC. | ||
