Geoff has time and time again said that the 'trolling' between Totalbiscuit and himself was just evil rumors and people looking for drama.. Well, if you make a comment like: "I honestly take more offense at people coming from other sports just to make money in Starcraft II--someone like TotalBiscuit" you are basicly going for the throat of the man.. Previous statements become quite hollow.. This is pretty much the modus operandi of Incontrol. The man is filled with a lot of hate. He's been doing this kind of stuff for a very long time now. The prime example is many months ago when he name-dropped SeleCT on a SOTG. When people got angry, he claimed that they were taking things too seriously, that he never meant to diss SeleCT, and that it was all just evil rumors made up by angry nerd flamers on the forums. Annnnnnnnd then when asked about SeleCT in a MLG after-party hosted by DJWheat , Incontrol proceeds to simulate anal rape by forming a ring shape with one hand and shoving his other fist through it. In front of a 10,000+ live audience. .....Right. | ||

P.S. Oh yeah and people take incontrol WAY too seriously most of the time. He likes to be funny, and almost always he apologizes or explains any inflamatory statement or joke he says but people never seem to listen to them... | ||

There are too many matches in the NASL to watch it all live, there are too many crap matches in the NASL to watch it live. Why the fuck is the VOD system so bad? All games in 1 video (spoil much?), and the games are uploaded way to late. Sometimes more than 2 days after they were played. | ||

Why he incessantly persists on making these personal jabs is beyond me.. What is he even trying to add to his his argument by throwing TB in there? It doesn't even make sense! And when responding about the criticism of "forum flamers", he essentially contradicts his very own argument by making a cheap jab at TB (whether intentional or not) later on in the interview. | ||

Also take offense to casters with no sc background like djwheat and jp. They're in it for the money too!! Too many passionless sc guys to name who just jumped on the sc2 money train! | ||

Giving money back to the community is awesome.. but it isn't 100% selfless so please don't act like it is. I was asked if I take offense to Lindsey being hired by an SC2 league.. I pointed out that I don't and I take MORE offense to people moving to the SC community purely to make money. If they do great things while doing that wonderful.. we all benefit. But I prefer those that were here from the beginning. I don't hate TB or anything like that at all.. I just find it less awesome is all. dead wrong here. just to undercut this argument at its root.... money is the root of all good... productive effort gives money its value to "make" money is a noble pursuit in and of itself... if you do not understand this you do not understand the nature of money or the basis of the free market system Frank Pierce left electrical engineering to make games.. has made a pile of cash .. more than he ever could as an electrical engineer and his name is all over SC2. its clear TotalBiscuit enjoys broadcasting in all its forms... simply for the social aspect of creating connections with the community regardless of the topic... the guy is a communicator right down to his DNA. if you are a broadcaster or journalist by profession you can move from one area to another and bring your unique skill set to the table and thus contribute to the eSports community... to the special Olympics community or whatever event you choose. | ||

And provided the community with the opportunity to meet Lindsey Sporrer, which is excellent. Her HotS photoshop as Kerrigan is so fucking clever, it's fun to dissect its layers. MOAR LINDSEY | ||

And when responding about the criticism of "forum flamers", he essentially contradicts his very own argument by making a cheap jab at TB (whether intentional or not) later on in the interview. This is also my stance, and why I don't like him, especially when he tries to show his "figurehead of the community" side. I do think that he has done well, and I will respect him as a player after his MLG showing, but as a person I hesitate to. But when someone is basically just being a jerk, making personal attacks, making claims about someones professionalism, or who they respect, when those things are pushed too far you risk becoming just some anonymous flamer on a forum. – By Incontrol in the interviewThe TB jab isn't the first I've heard from him. There was the jab at SeleCT, which a poster above me pointed out. Then there is his long-standing hate for desRow, which I don't understand. I think that he needs to get over his petty differences with others, but I can't make him do anything, but he should take his own advice and realize that just because he isn't typing something out that the advice becomes invalid. On the topic of the interview itself, I think that the interview was OK. He answered some questions, tried to dodge on others and I think downplayed some of the severity of the problems by attributing it to random forum flamers, but I think the interviewer had some nice questions that he tried to get answered. | ||

All incontrol has been talking about these last months is that we should never swear or be anything else than boring while being active in the sc2 esports scene because we need to make SC2 open for business, and then he wildly attacks totalbisquit for taking the opportunity to have his passion as his job? I suppose incontrol does not get paid for the work he does in sc2? I'm done with this guy, what a self-righteous fucking hypocrite. Yeah those finals fucking kicked ass, I know. I agree, I'm happy inC worked diligently organizing this cluster fuck, it turned out amazing you're right! | ||

iNcontrol really wouldn't be iNcontrol if he wasn't talking himself into some trouble, right? Commenting on TB was really dumb but the rest of the interview was totally on point, so I love you anyways. <3 Mr. Robinson | ||

 Don't worry! I will def say stuff in the future you guys will get all pissy about. It's kinda inevitable.. but the world keeps on moving forward and I learn each time to dial it back. Name dropping was bad. Point I made was fine. Lesson learned! | ||

Commenting on TB was really dumb but the rest of the interview was totally on point, so I love you anyways. <3 Mr. Robinson So you really feel that this: The downtime is not irregular or unique to the NASL at all. There was air time during Homestory Cup III of players barbecuing, there’s MLG where I can go take a nap between my matches--that’s all just the usual run of things. is point on? Either he is dodging like a ninja or he is really that self-absorbed that he thinks him being able to take naps somehow translates into down time for the spectators. | ||
