Great interview, good luck to incontrol. Taking a break did Idra and TLO some good. Let's hope it will do the same with Incontrol. Protoss seems to be on the up lately and there looks to be some racial balance at recent tournaments. He's totally right about needing to be in the right state of mind and simple things like getting enough sleep and doing things that makes you happy makes a big difference. You get diminishing returns from the work you put in otherwise.

I like how he is not shy about showing emotions. That is something very few men do...

great interview, really nice to see the other side of Geoff, I wasn't a huge incontrol fan because of his extreme negativity toward perticularly terran, he's more reasonable toward zerg, and obviously protoss. but i'm starting to come around and enjoy his commentary and what he does as a whole for esports and team EG.

Great article. I've always cheered for incontrol, even if he hasn't delivered any huge wins because of his determination, and his mindset towards the game. I really respect how he approaches things even if I don't always agree with everything he says. Thanks for bringing this to us. I hope to see more interesting interviews like this in the future. And thanks to incontrol as well for talking about everything.

Nice interview. Never really been a fan of incontroll, he's always seemed too cocky and abrasive, but this interview made me like him more. I can honestly say I'm that much closer to becoming an incontrol fan because of this interview, and his answers in it. Also he's from seattle? Damn, maybe I can get a beer with him or something lol.

Cool series Jitsu! Hope you keep it up

Team PL fightning =p

Thanks man! I am going to try to keep it going, and hopefully have the series gain some notoriety. I want to eventually collaborate all of the pages into one place so people outside of eSports can visit it and see what it's all about!

If anyone has suggestions to improve quality, or general comments/concerns, I accept all forms!

They can never, ever have a photo or video of Incontrol breaking down aftering losing. It would be the most depressing thing in Esports and I wouldn't be able to take it.

Seriously. A teary-eyed iNcontroL hugging Sirscoots? ohgod... The most spontaneous onions a single photo could ever produce. D:

Geoff, man, you fucking rock. You embody all the amazing and wonderful things about eSports. Your passion for the game, humor, and the way you carry yourself under the considerable pressure the community can create exemplifies what makes a great player. I can't think of a better pro-gamer to call my #1 favorite. I'd say make us proud, but you already do, man. Geoff fighting!

Thanks to Jitsu for a great interview!

Just an update; I will be doing another one of these in the near future if I can garner enough interest and figure out who the next victim is! Stay tuned. ;]
