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 doesn’t feel real. This hurts. It really hurts. I can only imagine what his friends and family are going through.

RIP Geoff. You were a unique and wonderful individual.

I am pissed. I know it's stupid and completely selfish, but i am absolutely pissed that he will not be around for me to enjoy his streams, watch his casts, laugh at his jokes, chat with him on his stream occasionally. F this, seriously.

My sincere condolences to his friends, family and to all the people who knew him and looked up to him.

Losing someone is always hard, just don't try to punch through a concrete wall to process it, like i did. I strongly suggest not hitting anything harder than drywall.
We're done here

Hey Guys - I am sure most of you have seen or heard about day9s stream. He did the community a service with that message. If you are feeling alone, tune in and shed some tears and relive the legend of timebones.

I'm not sure to where to find it, but you are.

Also, take care of yourselves. Eat, Drink, Stretch, Walk. You are worth a trip to a Doctor - body or mind, or both.

To paraphrase the wiseman Day "...return to the things that bring you joy".

If you want to do something tangible in his memory, you can donate a dog bed (or two) to his favorite charity. Would be nice to see that whole page sold out in his honor.

Comfort, we all find comfort in grieving together. I check it everyday to take in how he affected others.

Just heard. I'm shocked. I'm sad.

Sorry Geoff.
When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.

I'm at a loss of words, while it has been a few years since I stopped playing SC2 competitively pursue other passions. Geoff was one of the few people who truly stood out within the community. One of the guys who I looked up to the most, I still have all steelseries gear purely because of him.

RIP to a great man who lived his life as a great example for all of us on how to live ours. Uncomprimising in his passion and willing to chase, and achieve, his dreams.

This news really caught me off-guard when I opened TL. Feels unreal especially considering that he seemed to be in good shape though tbf I never followed his twitter or I would've known about his infection. I was never really close to Incontrol. Unlike a lot of folks on here, I never watched his stream aside from like several minutes once, never watched his casts or his shows aside from that christmas cast with his crew and rarely had to deal with him aside from once or twice when he came into the BW forums after RM release and posted a bit erratically from my perspective.

Despite that, I have respect for anyone who's put a lot of time and effort trying to grow the community. I still remember the time that Incontrol was the face of EG as well. News is sad all around especially considering how young he was and how there were signs that were missed (the shortness of breath for instance). Condolences to his family and friends.

I have a Geoff moment to share. If anyone else was in this room (Anaheim 2012 or 2013, whenever they flew the Koreans over, in the Hilton I think across from the venue) please comment and help me jog my memory.

Everyone who was anyone in the foreign SC2 scene at the time was there. Truly everyone that made Starcraft 2 what it was for me and most people. The whole EG team, Dignitas, WhiteRa, SaSe, Apollo etc. Honestly I was in the minority not being "in the scene" as mostly everyone there was a caster or a player.

The energy in that room was incredible, on par with high energy events like a wedding, or a big crazy college party. It was just the best. I think we watched the Koreans play when they flew them over, or maybe it was the finals with MVP. Or both, I'm not sure.

So I don't remember the full details, and I really hope Cunningham's law can take hold here, but there were these 2 stout gentlemen that were battling for something. I can't remember what, or if that was even what it was. But they had to rock paper scissors. But that wasn't good enough for Geoff. He wanted to raise the stakes iirc, and he was very adamant and just took control of the room completely.

Next thing I know there's these 2 nerds at the front that looked like this was about to turn into the least sexy wresting contest in history. It was hilarious, everyone is howling with laughter.

Geoff commanded presence and created that moment.

Idk, its just I always thought about what the community would be like when one of these guys passed away in like, what, 20-30 years maybe? I was looking forward to 20-30 years of the holiday bash with the Plott brothers and crew.

RIP Geoff, MLG Anaheim was a highlight of my life. Meeting you, Day9, Tasteless, Artosis, WhiteRa (our pic was my phone background for years), my favorite player at the time SaSe, and of course how could I forget the lovely Team Liquid players in my intro.

I didn't agree with everything he did (subjectively), but I enjoyed watching him very much as he was a really good entertainer, which I admire. RIP

Rest in peace buddy
There was once a dream that was Esports. You could only whisper it. Anything more than a whisper and it would vanish... Now is the time to make that dream a reality!
