Hey incontrol i saw you using what looks like the siberia v2 headset and i've been looking around at some headsets that aren't going to be crazy expensive. idk if this is the proper place or way to ask, but would you recommend that headset if it is indeed the one you use? if not, do you have another that would be good at a reasonable price? k thx bye <3 That is the headset he and other EG members use, and I personally use the same one!  From my experience, they are very comfortable, and the headphones/microphone quality is very good for the price. Some people will tell you to go with a more expensive headset because you get better sound quality (microphone in particular), but unless you are a real audiophile you won't notice a big difference except in the price :p. So unless you're picky about that kind of stuff i'd say go for it, I don't think you'll be disappointed! and obviously he will say to buy those since this is one of the main sponsor of EG xD btw i bought 1 and they are awesome Haha yeah, I'm sure he wouldn't feel too bad about it though. They really are a good product =) Edit: nice quote btw! lol
no word from inc, but with enough feedback from others i'm leaning towards these. i'm not crazy freak on sound, but over the past year i've gotten an asus laptop to play, razer mouse, and am thinking about a keyboard and headset and picked to get headset first (cheaper and blocking out sound distractions of other ppl > faster keyboard, for now) ^^ ty fellow incontrol people

You're welcome sir =). And yes I got mine for the same reason. Last year I lived with 2 roommates, both who had obnoxious tastes in music, so in order to keep my sanity I need them to block it out haha. Putting the siberia v2's and cranking up the volume a bit will be sure to block out most of the sound around you for sure!

yo incontrol just a shoutout to your great mods that banned me for criticizing your choice of music. if you agree that somebody should be banned for such an innocuous comment then i won't watch your stream again bro and i will encourage people to do the same.
peace out - poopmeal420 Yeah I told em to ban people that diss my music. Pretty simple really.. don't like the music mute the stream. Bitching about it in my chat gets old. If I had 4k people talking about how much they hate my music I'd find the chat pretty bad.. so I don't want people to do it. Seems pretty simple. It's my stream, I can have what music I want. Bitching about it doesn't HAVE to be tolerated. However, but then if you banned all 4k people dissing the music how many of those people would be left watching your stream? C'mon think like a business man. Banning people because they have an opinion about the music is not a cool thing to do. Giving people timeouts - fine. But why bans? Censoring people for having an opinion on something that is not deliberately offensive is already dumb and not what the starcraft community needs. Yeah and for the record i like some of your music. Believe it or not rock is my favourite genre of music but the screamy growly stuff wants me to rip my ears off. You shouldn't care about that btw, just letting you know my opinion! People that msg me and ask to be unbanned are 100% of the time unbanned. Until the day 4k people are banned I will consider banning the 1 in a 100 that feel the need to bm a GOOD business decision as it makes my chat more enjoyable for all. ty for the posts though, I can tell you are reasonable despite the ID you chose If you want to be unbanned plz msg me. <3
At first i thought that we were banning too many people and that it would cause less people to watch and chat. However all the intelligent people and none trolls usually stay away from chats like idra/sotgs/day9's/ because of how many idiots flood the channel's with their trolling or just stupid remarks. So now those intelligent people actually have a place to chat that is usually troll free (unless im in a bad mood :D) And we are actually getting people From idra's stream talking about watching IdrA's stream in iNcontroL's chat. If people want unban i always tell them to message me instead of iNcontroL because, 1) its my job 2) its faster 3) its easier on geoff.

I am sure it is perfectly acceptable to let the streamer himself decide what comments in his own chat are appropriate and which are not. All those "DO X MOTHERFUCKER" comments are so useless and some seem very, very provocative. Of course he's gonna ban those, if he feels like it.
You don't have to watch him, if you don't want to. It's the same with other popular streamers who have lot's of haters. I can only say watch the recent episode of SotG. No matter how much critique he might deserve for whatever reason, a line should be drawn somewhere. Every thread on reddit has contains at least one personal insult towards incontrol, even though the topic might have NOTHING to do with him.
I do not think he lied, when he said, that it's starting to make him feel bad inside. He's a grown up man. Especially all those 13-year old kids who got drawn into the scene and think they are hipsters for flaming out fat-jokes on the forums should show some more respect.
Not a stalking hardcore-fan of incontrol and sure have my own critiques about him but wtf. You can overdo it and it's really not funny anymore.
I enjoy the stream from time to time, although I do not play protoss. He's doing a good job interacting with the viewers and talking about his gameplay, strategies and losses. What more could you want?
Firstly, It was not Incontrol that temp banned me. And should someone be (temp)banned from expressing a wish during a game where said person was rooting for that player? I never called Incontrol a motherfucker either. No caps, no harsh words too.
Oh, and he explained his decision after the game. He said it's hard to know which 3rd to choose on this map. Which answered my concern. I don't believe the reaction from the mods was appropriate.

Team games with Puma were really fun to watch. You guys seem to have become friends quickly.
Something I'd like to see, even if you're the only two playing team games, is some random 4v4s. It'd be cool/funny to see how people react to being on a team with the both of you.
Which also leaves room for you to invite fans from the stream to play with you.
Also: join some Z33k 2v2 tournaments

2v2 with puma that is.. more to come

2v2 with PuMa was excellent! If possible a more steady connection would be appreciated, pretty sure thats out of your control though (no pun intended)
uhmmmmm suggestions you said, maybe try to do mono battles (each build only one unit type all game), or one person goes ground other goes air, or restricting key units from your army like roaches stalkers maraduers. More Battlecruisers, Ultralisks, Thors, Carriers, NUKESSS ^_^
Thanks for doing these games, were super fun! PuMa imba, Geoff strong teammate :D

"there should be really only one answer." - Geoff
"They said not Geoff" - Anna

"So many jokes can be made..." - Geoff
"Soon my army will be invincible. Then I will get an army." - Geoff
"Oh look a pylon, I'M GONNA FUCK IT UP WITH MY UPGRADES!" - Geoff

"Puma what's our endgame strategy here?" - Geoff
"Win." - Puma
"Oh. Ooohh. Uhhh.. Ooooohhh. Uh. Uhhhhhhhhhohhhohoh" - Puma

"Puma!" - DeMuslim
"I know! I no bad!" - Puma
"What do you want me to do?" - Geoff
"Helpuu me!" - Puma

First off, Geoff thanks for streaming again. It's always fun too see EG members stream, plus the quality is usually very good.
Secondly, while I'm not really a fan of yours because I play Terran I want to see NA players succeed. Its very good to know that you're playing 2v2 with Puma, dual random instead of practicing your Protoss solo. Sure, maybe you just practiced hardcore for 10 hours with team mates/ladder/etc.
however there's that korean in korea who just practiced for an 11th, 12th, and 13th hour.
And that's why we can't beat them still.
Just saying, goodluck.

Just wanted to say thank you for streaming late at night again. With my work schedule I very rarely get to watch you stream during the day.
That being said, you and Puma are so funny lol. You guys are just so imba! It really makes my day better to come home from a long day of work and watch my favorite player have such a great time playing SC2. Thank you for sharing it with us
edit: Btw, you and Puma need to 2v2 for the EGMCSL lol.

and there is that korean fan that instead of thinking they have ANY CLUE AT ALL what goes into a progamers day they are just supportive and appreciative. Also they realize the progamer is a human being and not a robot.
Just saying.

Like I said, hope you guys finally beat them! I want to see it so bad. Goodluck man, seriously.

Just... Whattt? You are supportive yet extremely condescending in the same post you make no sense. How does anyone respond to you rationally? Geoff either has to be mad at you or appreciative and why would he be appreciative when you are insulting him. And dont think for one moment that your words were those of encouragement.. Its a game for you and I but to Geoff and everyyyy other progammer its their livelihood. So saying he isn't practicing is like saying he isn't taking his life seriously.
Just don't post these things when you want to encourage someone.

Oh god I knew someone was going to make a post like this. Hey Geoff also while you spend time with your gf/going to the gym/eating/breathing/taking a shower/going to the bathroom there is a Korean player who does not do these things and practices instead.
That's why we cant beat them. gl hf

I'm sure they don't need anymore motivation than they already have. Just want to see NA win and I think because they have a gaming house they have an amazing opportunity. I don't think they're doing anything wrong and you guys have great points. I just thought the 2v2 games were a waste of time, however you still obviously need to back off the daily grind and have fun during the day. Thx for the response all, didn't mean to be insulting at all, Sorry if it was. EG Fighting!

While everyone is entitled to an opinion, I can personally say me and a friend had a great time watching them 2v2 together. Its great to get a look at Puma's personality that you may not see during tournaments, and its fun to see him and Geoff interact. However I'm sure Korean pro houses have leisure time as well where players are free to do what they want. I've seen the oGs team play UMS games multiple times on HuK's stream where the loser goes to get ice cream. You can also find threads with photos of players on multiple teams playing soccer together and having fun. It may seem like a waste of time but no one is a robot that can practice 24/7.
