I'm really cheering for Geoff, such a great guy who does so much and clearly cares about the game a ton. Gogo incontrol!

Er, you can say many things about iNcontrol but one this you can say with some certainity is that he's extrememly popular and well known which is even more outstanding due to the fact he didn't get this popularity by winning huge events or being the best.

You'll have to enlighten me. I only recall him doing well at Anaheim. (Top 4)
Crushed his NASL group, lost to MC at the offline finals.
Best placing korean at TSL3 (together with MC)
11. at MLG Orlando and 20. at Providence are the only not that great placings I coudl find. Imo he did really well at foreign events, even during his "slump" @gsl.

Good luck to Incontrol for 2012, he'll need it
I'd like to see him do well though. He gets more criticism and ridicule than most.

Yeah BoxeR definitely didn't "barely eclipse mediocre foreigners", he had a great record vs the foreigners, even the best ones. He performed quite well.

Yeah, people are hating on him for how poor he's done lately as a player, not because he's bad at pr.

incontrol should focus on anything with esports except for playing the game.
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. 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.
right I am not telling incontrol to do as I say obviously. I am making a point that he is better at other things than playing. I don't see how you can argue with that.
invitationals are and should be merit based. whenever they invite random people spectators will and have asked questions re their merit. You do realize idra put in time with GSL and quit from code S. that is merit right there. Also sen is known to be the best taiwanese player at sc2.
incontrol? his mlg losing streak just does not cut it.

But because they are invitationals they will never be merit-based. They will be based on a mixture of results and popularity.
