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.

Indeed, thank you CatZ!
Now also got through the rest of the last Pylon show with Incontrol, at times forgetting that he passed away.
But one of the things I took away from CatZ' video was, that if I could just stop the pain, I wouldn't want it. Neither Incontrol nor CatZ met me (though Incontrol replied to a tweet once, and some time ago I donated $5 to CatZ when he streamed) but I now know that we don't have all to know each other personally in order to have a community.
Don't know what else to say. I shared the reason of my sadness with some friends, feeling silly to explain. Then noticed that to real friends, it doesn't have to be explained.
i just saw the "Remembering Geoff “iNcontroL” Robinson" video from Tasteless on youtube and read in the comments that he passed away, im shocked. Incontrol was really charismatic and funny on the mic, so many good memories from the guy, RIP.
watching the memorial i somehow still feel even less like its real, and watching wcs without him again earlier just makes it seem so weird. I'm going to miss him a lot even though i still say fuck protoss and everything it stands for, took his part in the community for granted and didn't realize he was probably the most important person left in this scene
Hey everyone. Just letting you know that we've removed the link to this thread, when clicking the logo on the top of the site. The link is now directing people back to the main page again. We will, however, keep the logo for the time being.
Thank you Catz, I always loved you and InControl banter back and forth together all the way back from old school state of the game episodes to pylon show
This makes me so, so sad. I followed him and his content from SC2 Beta to Rollplay. He was funny, intelligent, entertaining and a joy to watch. The fact that I won't be able to watch and enjoy his content really saddens me. I loved him in Rollplay and Swan Song. I know he did other Rollplay shows, what would someone recommend me to watch? As sad as I will feel, I think it will be good to remember and honor him.
So Geoff's passing made me pick up sc2 again. I had completely forgotten how fun it was. And I'm happily surprised to find the game is in a better state, balance wise, than it has ever been (Zerg op tho but I digress).
Started digging into some of the customizables you can do today, and came across the announcer packs, something I hadn't seen before.
My heart was not ready to hear Geoff's and TotalBiscuit's voices again. I want to use them, but I don't think I'd be able to concentrate with their voices pulling on my heart strings the entire game.

Check out blades, IMO his best character from all the rollplays and cast gels together great
The "Geniuses Falling" film works on so many levels. A spoof of "Liquid rising", and the "EG curse" meme at that time, it still works on multiple levels even if you don't know that stuff.
Introducing Stephano with this "film", while his contract was rumored some days before, still works.
I just finished watching The Pylon Show 59. Was able to compose myself, until the last seconds, when Incontrol and Artosis hugged.
What a loss. After all these weeks, I am speechless. Today was the day I switched the announcer from Lowko to Incontrol again.
I haven't posted or streamed here on TL for nearly 8 years but reading that 8 felt the need to.
I've been playing BW since 2000 under the alias ''Teacher'' and I actually had coaching from Incontrol back around 2003 if I remember correctly. I was 15 at that time. He was such a nice dude for the little that I knew of him and helped me to become a better player. I've always highly respected him as a human being & player.
You'll be missed bud. My condolences goes out to all his family, friends and fans around the world. 😢
never been so sad about the death of someone that i dont know personaly. so sad that he died : (
cant belive hes gone honestly. he was the humor factor of sc2, and he had some rock solid casting aswell. even tho hes gone, he will forever live on in our memories.
i remember the burger man story. which made everyone laugh at blizzcon. nestea probably meant to ask if incontrol liked burgers, but it turned into a hilarious meme, which incontrol was humorous with at blizzcon.
the redeye jokes at HSC was absolutely hilarious. i always looked forward to hearing the redeye jokes, and so did rotterdam and everyone else, that was such a huge humor
so sad that such a young man with a happy great career and happy life can be teared away from us so suddenly.
WCS
