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.

I'm one of the many who have not posted regularly here but followed the StarCraft scene on and off. The news of Geoffs death and all the messages and stories related to him, the gratefulness of so many people, have really touched me. It is incredibly sad. May he rest in peace. All the best and strength to his family and friends.

I haven't visit teamliquid in a while and this came as a great shock to me. Incontrol was an inspirational, generous and a very fun guy to watch. He helped this community grow since it's early days. I'm really sad to see him go this way, may he R.I.P.

He inspired a lot of people to live healthy, but sometimes having a healthy life style is not enough sadly... People should have medical check-ups regularly and be more aware of their current health. I will forget all my worries for the time being and try to appreciate and take better care of myself as a tribute to Incontrol... a real legend.

in the years to come as I visit teamliquid, I hope I would never forget greats like KT.Violet, TotalBiscuit, Incontrol and everyone who helped establish this scene and brought me great inspiration and entertainment.

Rest in Peace Geoff. Best condolences to family. Sad to see another great caster pass away within a little more than a year.

Still pretty broken up about this, was able to talk about it with my wife a little bit yesterday. She doesn't follow SC and only knows about the scene through my personal anecdotes, but she recognized the name "iNcontroL". With her limited knowledge, she even knew how major of a player he was in this scene, which is extremely telling of how much of a figure he was. Of all the random shit I've told her over the past 6 years about SC and esports, one of the main people that she remembered was Geoff. We watched the "Who is Artosis" video and she loved it, even though she doesn't really know who Artosis is outside of my storytelling.

Geoff was one of the main figures I connected to in the scene over time. We shared the same love for sports, gaming, music, philosophy, the importance of being articulate, and more. I got the chance to meet him three separate times, and he always struck me as someone to look up to, even though we aren't that far off in age. He always was a bastion of knowledge and catharsis for what the struggles of mental health and physical health can be, and was always a person I could look to for a laugh (usually at someone else's expense XD).

He will truly be missed by almost everyone in the scene. For anyone interested, or for those who are looking for more storytelling on top of Day9's great stream, Nathanias did a long stream thoroughly detailing Geoff's impact on him and those he worked with. Some HILARIOUS stories about casting, ribbing, generosity, workmanship, and just overall "Geoff" qualities. Definitely worth your time:

I used to play random, but for you I play very specifically.

As probably did everyone else, I was in utter shock when I heard about this as well unbelievable...

However, I will say that despite this tragedy, it truly warms my heart to see everybody coming together, remembering Geoff, and speaking to how our lives have been brightened in some way by him. He's definitely in a lot of my happiest, more hilarious memories of starcraft. I'll really, really miss him, fuck.

To keep Geoff's memory alive every time I need to stand up after sitting too long I am taking an "iNcontroL" break.

Was not able to write something yesterday, still speechless. Met iNcontroL at so many offline events over the course of the past decade and i am uncapable to comprehend not seeing him ever again.

I am just a person who enjoys watching StarCraft and interacting with the players and the community, but this hit me and a lot of other people so hard, what it shows me over and over again how strong the bonding to the game and its people is.

Hope you are able to do whatever you want in heaven. We miss and love you.

Thank you for all you have done for this game and its community.

i just can't believe i'll never hear him cast again
was by far the most amazing personality in the scene. for me just as long as the sotg potcasts are still hosted somewhere online, he is immortalized.

I stumbled upon these news earlier today a short while before I had to leave my house. I had no personal relationship with Geoff, but I felt like I knew him in many ways and the ways he impacted me during all the years through brood war and later on SC2 is actually quite insane if you think about it.

Tears just welled up in me while hearing about this and I could not control myself at all.. I have not cried in a very long time prior to this. I'm truly feeling loss... It's so heartbreaking and I have a hard time believe it's actually true...
My condolences goes out to everyone and especially his family and close friends. It's a huge loss for the community and dare I say humanity... =( Stay strong!

Rest in peace Geoff! <3

I feel I have no right to voice my grief. Because I never met him, he is only someone on screen, who once replied to a tweet of mine.

Watched him stream a couple of time, some of his Youtube uploads where he talks, but then The Pylon on a regular basis. Sometimes I found him borderline rude, other times overly reasonable. He made me laugh many times, gave food for thought and his presence tied the Starcraft scene together. Never saw him in person (while I met some other casters) and was too lazy to go to a HSC even though I live in Germany and Cologne (Krefeld) is not that far away.

Hearing his fellow friends talk "he was like ..." sounds so wrong. Was?

you can voice your grief .. it is a good thing to try to put it in words..
writing it and then seeing it on screen is not the same as "thinking it"..
it could be worse not to express this grief but to each his / her own

Deeply saddened to read about this. Didn't know him personally but many a time over the past decade have tuned into his stream at odd hours to see starcraft games, even when the game was not at peak popularity and thought, wow this guy is passionate, and I greatly respect that. Rest in peace starcraft brother..
