But when 3/4 of those players are not playing SC2 it definitely makes a difference. However no matter how good he used to be in BW his play is pretty dire today. Also he would have been no where near 2000 me thinks. Though humans have great difficulty estimating large quantities :p | ||

he is an iconic figure with stog, nasl season1, TL, and such. but he is not that great at playing. about time he accepts this fact and focus on things that he is good at. I can see him making a good manager/caster/organizer/host/etc. just not a good player. maybe he will prove otherwise, but I stopped putting my money on incontrol so many MLGs ago. | ||

Being a viewer who watched every HSC so far (the first one was really small, the second got at least some guests  ) I am glad to see Incontrol the fourth one.What's best for the cup is good players that deserve invites and can perform on a consistent level. InControl getting stomped isn't good for the cup, it's just a waste of an invite. That being said. Goodluck to InControl. If he can practice and perform on a good level then it wasn't a waste after all but judging from past experience... | ||

Being a viewer who watched every HSC so far (the first one was really small, the second got at least some guests ) I am glad to see Incontrol the fourth one.I don't think he has to be involved in HSC or have done something massive for the community in order to give his opinion on who deserves an invitation. The, "They know what's best for themselves" argument could effective eliminate the need for any criticism altogether. Being a viewer who has watched HSC in the past, I am not particularly excited to see incontrol in the fourth one as there are other players I feel may be more deserving. Nonetheless, he's there and it isn't the biggest travesty. It's just another opinion, it has nothing to do with what the poster you responded to has done for the community. | ||

Does anyone have an update on the cosplayer in the background. is it? it may seem like it but then artosis played nasl season 1. how did that turn out again? after his results, everyone was stating how that spot could have went to more deserved. if you can't compete at the level of the tournament, don't play imo. its just a waste of a seat. | ||

I gotta agree that his performance in NASL 1 was kinda sucky but his appearance in the first season of GSL make me erections. I thinking having one or two popular names in there ornaments the whole tourney. Its kinda like having Boxer in ANYTHING. And plus who knows, I got my fingers crossed that Inc will cause a major upset. | ||

It's not exactly comparable. | ||

I'm pretty sure it's a digital camera that was being used to record the interview, but they just transcribed it and released it as text for whatever reason. The video interview you're looking for hasn't be released. (That's me int he photo) It was an interview for ESPN, I can't confirm whether or not the video will be released anytime soon unfortunately. | ||

Except for a while Boxer could barely eclispe the mediocre foreigners and was consistently the lowest placing of nearly every Korean at every event where he didn't get seeded high. Give Geoff the respect he deserves people. He's trying his best. I'd much rather have someone who consistently puts in effort and trys to further the game than someone who's good and just plays to make money and doesn't really give a shit. | ||

I really think that he's just having a bit of trouble at tournaments, but is going to turn it around. Sure his results have been poor recently, but anyone who's been a professional gamer as long as he has must have the dedication to turn that kind of slump around, or they would never have reached that point. I can't help but agree with this. Imagine the pressure of not only being on one of the greatest teams outside Korea, being a relatively good BW foreigner, and slumping, all while knowing that the entire SC community is "pressuring" (for lack of a better word) him to have good results. Everyone wants to see Incontrol (and this applies to Tyler as well) do well in tournaments and know they can, which can't help but add to the pressure when they don't. | ||

That's not for you to say but for him to say. If he enjoys what he's doing who are you to tell him he can't do it and should be doing something else? MYOB. Invitationals are not merit based anyway but based on draw/popularity in addition to some merit. I think inc has the first two covered which is more than enough. If you want 100% merit based competitions don't watch any tournaments but GSL... wait... they polluted the pool too with IdrA and Sen and other popular invites. Just stop watching SC2. | ||
