This is really a great move by Geoff. He'll be the first one to tell you he's not performing to the best of his abilities, and this will help him improve immensely.

Sigh.... what a loss...

On one hand, commentators with top notch skill (grand master league) gives us so much insight and adds a lot into the game. However doing so will also eat into their practice schedule and they may eventually fall in ranks.

I for one am glad. This will help the nasl.

Why? Both incontrol and gretorp make the whole show see too distant to people who know little about the game. All the inside jokes, how they interact, ect ect.

Seeing as I haven't paid for this season, I can't exactly state this in their chat.

However, the two casters whom were casting in place of gretorp and incontrol, they were WONDERFUL. Really. I enjoyed listening to them, and many others without a starcraft 2 background would. This is what the nasl and esports in general needs.

there absolutely will be a season 2!!

I even spoke about how gretorp will continue casting alongside other casters and I will make guest appearances.

We are also running a qualifier atm for season 2... please fix OP

Glad you're getting the chance to buckle down and get some serious practice time in. While it's kind of a bummer to see you stepping out of the community spotlight, I'm excited to see some more tourney results 8)

♥ You'll be missed Geoff. Hopefully we'll still see just as much of you however, holding those trophies above your head and snapping the backs of nerds on the way there ^_^

I would love to see him cast; but if this means he will dedicate more time to his pro-gaming career and he wants to perform better, good luck Geoff! We love you, and we only wish you the best!

Geoff is an incredibly talented player. He does well in most tournaments he enters even though he plays half as much as other top players due to all the Social interaction/Casting/Content Providing. If he focuses full time on playing, he should do very well =)

I would rather see him do well as a player than as a caster.

Also, personally I don't like the NASL. All I know is that NASL stole precious hours of Geoff's stream that I tuned into before he went to NASL
Good luck Geoff!

yes now Geoff can prove me and the "haters/haterz" wrong and show how talented he is. I learned pvz from his replays I hope he can revolutionize again

Umm... what? How exactly is this nice? Not saying it's bad, but I have absolutely no idea what you mean.

It's nice that incontrol wants to be a fulltime pro gamer like he used to be....At least that's what I thought he meant.

probably a good move for both parties, NASL needs casters that are better at casting, and incontrol needs more time to practice.

i would LOVE to see more casting from mister bitter, an occasional guest cast from idra (when he isn't busy) and more casting from moletrap and diggity (as a pair) if they can as well...

He will be missed dearly, but he knows what he wants to be doing and that is to be competing with having to cast. Definitely so super excited to see what he post in tourneys now.

gl to incontrol and nasl

User was warned for this post

why would there be a warning about this??? he could be just saying it's nice that incontrol is obviously committing focus on gaming and not losing focus be split too apart. it's good!!

This will be interesting, I wish him the best of luck however I feel that he would be betters suited (from what I've seen personally) as a commentator/player then a full time player. However, in a pro house, anything can be accomplished. Maybe we have only yet dawned on this superstars talent. Let's all give him a chance!
