Since many are asking why Redeye does not host the finals:
Paul 'ReDeYe' Chaloner will return to host the Ro16 shows. Due to family arrangements however Paul could not be with us for the finals weekend. As a result, we are really excited to announce that Geoff 'iNcontroL' Robinson from Evil Geniuses will be joining us as the host for the Ro8 onwards.

Very cool news! Really like Grubby as a commentator and Geoff is a fantastic host, great choice! Obviously ReDeYe as well, but there can only be one host I guess :D (for each RoX)
any specific reason why incontrol is host for ro8 instead of redeye? i mean i really like incontrol, but wouldnt it be kinda stupid to hire another person to host if redeye is doing perfectly fine?

It could be useful to add this precision to your OP

Sometimes people need to see their families. Its weird, I know.
it wasnt in the op when i asked ;-; this was exactly what i asked for, dunno wat ur sentence is supposed to say?
That is cool, so I would assume grubby and incontrol will be in the studio for a few weeks? I hope haha ESL has a great line up and honestly casting over skype for WCS looks horrible. I like ToD a lot, Incontrol I like him but he can get a bit wordy and try to make something funny too much during a cast.

I know, always assume that they have a valid reason to bring on new staff or stand ins. I just find it amusing when people want to know every little detail about why something is happening and the decision making behind the process. Not a real shot at you, most just how "involved" we as the community somethings want to be.

It was in the link that said "read more". So if you had a question, wouldn't that be the first place you go?

Just before it gets out of hand or you guys equip with pitchforks, I am not able to do RO8 finals weekend as I have my sisters wedding to attend and I think she would kill me if I didn't go. So, we arranged to have Geoff fly over and replace me for the final two days.

Why Incontrol T_T Now I have to mute the interviews and all damnit. I get it, people like him, but I for one just think he is pretty average and annoying. But good for the people that like him. I guess.
Fuck yeah! Grubby has one of the best sentence structures and an extensive vocabulary! Incontrol, well he's just funny...sometimes awkward. But funny for the most part

Well I guess Incontrol doesn't drop Collectors Editions...
This is freaking awesome! Love InControl's casting. He's always got me laughing. As for Grubby...it's Grubby. Of course I want to see him cast! Can't wait to watch this duo!!

Someone who cared about Esports would have made his sister get married during the round of 8. Then we could cast it and complain that its an all in. Also, Tod clearly has given up on SC2 and has moved on to other games, like water skiing. Look Blizzard, this is your fault. LAN could have stopped this.
I haven't been following sc2 much but when i saw " grubby and incontrol joi" I thought no way, incontrol got into a major tournament/won. Then I saw the title and it said "grubby and incontrol join wcs EU for ro16" and thought holy shit he proved his haters wrong after a long time.......
But then I was let down and realised it was for hosting.

Nothing crazier than that!
p.s. ToD couldn't make it due to vacation.
It's a shame you can't host because you're an excellent host, but naturally your sister's wedding is more important, and incontrol is a good substitute.
I'm happy to have Grubby casting too. This is great news
lol for a moment from reading the title on the first page I made the hasty assumption that they were both playing. Then I remembered they're both scrubs !
I love incontrol, his fake 'Germans-making-an-ass-of-themselves-trying-to-speak-English"- accent is the most accurate I've ever heard any foreigner do.
Grubby, on the other hand, makes me really depressed. His casting is absolutely great, but this also kills any hope I ever had of him being really great at SC2.

Wat.
Makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.
Casting for one weekend => never achieve greatness as a player? How...wha...why- I don't even...
I mean, I'm truly sorry if I'm misunderstanding something, but I have no idea how you reached that conclusion...

ToD rallied pretty hard after starting to cast, maybe it will help out Grubby in a similar way!
Yeah, ToD experience could actually be evidence that casting is GOOD for pro players.

And Grubby already proved that last year, getting the second place at IEM Singapore after a few months of casting.

At his age and having a wife, it would be wise for him to transition into something he can have success and steady income as a career. He has enough fame and charisma make use of.
Nice given the large amount of foreigners compared to other regions having grubby cast sure is a plus point that may have me tune in when I usually wouldn't
I'm really excited ty all for the kind words and support. Redeye is the gold standard of hosting so stepping in for him is going to be a challenge but I feel confident if I just relax and have fun you guys will be entertained and the show will move along nicely. Cya in a couple weeks!

Yeah, I shouldn't focus on the negative side, let's just be happy we get to see the beautiful Grubbster cast.

Nice seeing you host again. Redeye is the gold standard, but sometimes a little bit of variety is even better. Love you both.

just always use ur german porn voice all the time and ull have no trouble
I dislike Incontrol, mostly for his arrogance and German jokes. But I guess that's natural. I respect him as a caster though. Only he should be more polite as a caster. As a gamer you can be arrogant, but as a caster you have to be somewhat neutral and kind.

Yeah. Will there be a livestream of this?
Well, I don't know how impressive that will be. "And spawning at the top of the aisle, in an impeccably turned out tuxedo, will be the groom. Spawning at the bottom of the aisle, appropriately attired in a gorgeous gown, will be the bride. While the groom's men will do their best, I don't think they will be able to protect the groom from the feels as we see the bride beginning a slow push up the aisle assisted by her bridesmaids, Maid of honor, and the Father of the Bride. It looks like the Bride will be taking this game easily in the long run, as she overwhelms the groom with feels."
Also, didn't Geoff and Anna livestream their wedding?

Damn it we need more drama! Core dragon whole thing wasnt worth bruning things for and nor is this. What has happened to us. Jokes aside I love redeye and its a shame that his sister wouldnt reschedule her wedding so I could watch my favorite host hosting the shit out of wcs. But Geoff is a fine replacement.
good shit. the only problem for me is i'll have to choose whether i watch GSL or WCS EU next week cause it's physically impossible for me to watch both and still study enough

I wouldn't expect you to understand my jokes about germany.. as a german you have no sense of humor
siiiiiiiiiick!! looking forward to this one just to see incontrol and grubby commentating and hosting. It's been a while for both of them in online tournaments

I mean, if you have to replace RedEye for a weekend I wouldn't accept anyone other than Gentleman Geoff himself! He's the only one who could possibly fill those shoes
WCS is just out of control! They provide nothing but the best!

I vaguely follow SC2 but will watch anything Grubby does. InControl is pretty funny, but Im watching this for some Grubby action. Hopefully he will zone out of SC2 and tell some WC3 stories and tips.

at least you din't say water with gas a as the frenchies do that would have made matters worse anyhoo, I encourage iNcontrol to make as many German jokes as possible. maybe this way more ppl will get used to it and relax a bit.

Mhm, I'd rather would like to have the wedding of RedEyes sister @WCS with iControl and Grubby being the witness to a marriage, with all three hosting/casting the games afterwards !
