Geoff 'iNcontroL' Robinson has passed away - Page 47

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.

This came completely out of nowhere, I'm going to miss the guy.
Thanks for all the entertainment you gave us Geoff.
I am here in the shadows.

This is unbelievably sad. I've been out of the sc world for over three years now, and reconnected with it literally two-three days ago to play with some friends. Jumped on TL, saw inControl hosting his new show (similar to state of the game). Watched for less than two minutes before firing up sc2. And now this?

Prayers with him and his family. He was such a positive force that pushed SC, SC2 and EG in the right directions.

Loved his jokes. Loved his shoutcasts. Dude is a legend.

Can probably also bench 100 hydralisk skulls as well.

I've spent the last two days in a daze about this, watching and reading all things Geoff related. Watching Day 9 last night really helped. He never even knew me yet I've watched him so much and he's brightened my life so much. I'm devastated, I feel we've really lost something big and I am scared SC2 will never be the same.

It is very crazy to see so many similar experiences with this news, particularly people who have not posted on here for years, but chose to when they saw this. I just logged in for the first time since my last post, which was apparently 2/17/08 (I must've had to create a new account). I was wondering why I felt a sense of loss over this for someone I don't know, but it is good to see that I'm not alone there.

I remember Incontrol from the old BW days when he was in 88) and played US East. I did catch a small part of Day9's stream when he was reminiscing and talked about Clain X17 and Clan ~NoHunters and that was a trip down memory lane! So I remember his rise as a player pretty well. I played a bit of WoL, but stopped playing for a long time until I got back into SC2 within the last year or so. I've greatly enjoyed the Pylon Show and following the scene since then and InControl was a big part of it. I found him to be a very insightful, funny, genuine guy. I guess I also felt a sense of kinship with him because we were about the same age and had shared the obvious similar interest in starcraft dating back to the BW days. So we would've both been in high school back then and his experience with that being a big part of his life back then was very relatable to me.

I found his passion for the game and drive to make this a career very inspiring. It seems like he was pretty universally impactful on people around the scene and he will certainly be missed by me. It's kind of hard to even look at it the same way right now, so I hope that passes. RIP, Geoff, and condolences to his family and friends.

‘The condition is rare but carries a high mortality rate if not diagnosed early’

The family already released a statement, the cause of death is a blood clot in his lungs (Pulmonary Embolism).



The embolism probably came from the abscess on his femoral artery which was caused by an undiagnosed staph infection in his abdomen.

Insane how he complained about shortness of breath and excessive sweating in one of the Pylon Show's of the past few months. He was also coughing quite regularly on stream lately.

Sad to see him go. He was such a big personality that really made people gravitate towards what he was passionate about (in this case Starcraft)

Working weights has nothing to do with health...


There are very strong health links for lean mass and exercise; they're far from alone but they are major factors.

He wasn't very lean. Years ago he was found to have high glicemia/cholesterol due to high carbs/fat intake.


Talking about lean mass, not body fat percentage

Sad news. Some years ago I was dealing with anxiety and such, really difficult times. Sc always helped and relaxed me. Nowadays I dont follow sc2 scene, but I have found memories of Geoff stream or casting in tournaments. Rest in peace big man.

If you haven't, gotta watch that last episode of the pylon show.

Mirroring Tod's sentiment, i'm not religiously minded, but even still i'd like to think somewhere out there Geoff and TB are playing out matches in that great LAN party in the sky.

Accidents and tragedies happen, RIP big guy, remember people tell your friends and family that you love then each and every day. Even if you are strong and healthy you are still mortal and can be struck down at any possible time.

I think we should start telling SCII streamers to take a 'quick Geoff' when they've been sitting around a long time in memory of his bloodclot awareness campaign.

Edit:

Also Day[9]'s remembrance VOD is up:


It was so heartfelt yesterday to see so many old faces show up to share stories.

Haven't talked to incontrol in well over 10 years but 16 year-old me used to look forward to every weekend that he led us into battle in clan wars and nation wars. Always tragic when someone so young dies. My condolences to his friends and family. RIP

So young O_O I’m the same age as him and it feels surreal that life could end today.

RIP Geoff.
