From iNcontroL’s Twitter:

To offer some solace in this time of grief: We've learned that Geoff passed quickly and painlessly from a blood clot in his lungs. He was with friends. He always urged and led us by example to take care of ourselves to the best of our ability. Remember to do that for him today.

Rest in peace, Geoff. You were always a fighter.

Such an inspirational dude and talented dude. And so sudden...

The thing that breaks my heart is his tweet about how hospitals makes him all scared, as he is there alone.

Rest In Peace iNcontrol, you were a shining gem in the starcraft community, a passionate and entertaining personality the like of which is unlikely to ever be replicated again.
Today is a sad day for all of us that enjoyed the streams, talks and events you participated in throughout the years . You, your charisma and your jokes will be missed.

Descansa en Paz

Dude, just insane, I listened to the latest pylon show on a long drive. It was great, finally got to my destination to learn that he passed. Life is short, can't believe it. I've been watching him for 9 years. Rest in Peace, you were taken too soon.

I hope someone will make a tournament in his name. A true hero which will be remembered as long as the game remains being played. RIP Geoff

Wow that's fucked up, I really disliked him in the early days as a player. But when he became more and more of a caster I kinda enjoyed him. I personally think he was the best caster, i really loved his humor and openness. Something was missing last HSC... this is really tragic

Are their any more further infos about the infection ? Was it like a small cut or a big open wound or something internal ?

He was streaming last week... And now he is gone.
One of the funniest people I've ever watched. His streams and live events were always a pleasure to watch. Rest in peace and thank you for everything for the past 9 years.

I actually shared that tweet with my friend when Geoff posted it, and we were talking about how Incontrol has been having a rough time in the past few months. We said he's still very young and he'll be ok. Still can't believe he's gone

I was too shocked by the news last night to really react to it, but reading all of the heartfelt posts and rewatching the highlight videos this morning just really drove it all home. The community has lost a truly unique and wonderful individual, and we are truly blessed to have been able to share so many laughs with Geoff. There aren't many people who can claim they've been a part of the community for longer than he has, and his presence has been a beacon for many eras of esports.

Thank you for everything, Geoff. You will never be forgotten.
