"Go fuck yourself with a razer", I thought for a second he meant like a razer mouse and I was like wow this guy is a true professional. Doesn't forget sponsors even when he rants. :D
RIP you legend. Thank you for all the awesome humor and insight you provided in your tournament casts and all the things you've done for the community.
I would say that you are both right. I assume that incontrol worked extremely hard to get where he is. On the other hand, if someone would work as hard and do it twice as good as incontrol but started today, that person would simply not catch up. It pays off to be first.
Geoff, in my opinion, has done more for the Starcraft 2 scene than any other single personality that we have. You can love him or hate him, but either way this guy has helped us all out so much and the scene would not be what is today without him. Thank you Incontrol!
I'm pretty sure anyone in fame, was lucky in some sort of way to get there. Because someone got lucky, doesn't mean said person doesn't also work hard though.
InControl and more recently Eternal Envy are two of my own personal role models in life. Both of them poured their heart and soul into what they want to do, they worked hard, EE quit out of school to become a pro gamer, InControl's mother had to skip rent to pay for him to make his dream a reality. Sacrifices are made and no matter how much haters on reddit fling shit at them, both are perfect example on how you don't let it turn you away, and you achieve your goals.
Incontrol you are by far the best caster at the moment, watched you paired with Apollo yesterday at Dreamhack Open Summer and you two are the only pair of casters that actually talk about the game, as well as being informative so they any new viewers can actually know whats going on - rather than figuring out what Tasteless had for lunch...
Hey Geoff, dunno if you read this at all but i have to say: I disliked you quite a bit, just your comments and such but as of the last year i really value your effort, openness and just your honesty about some things you talk about. I follow you alot and i really came to appreciations of your work. So let me say thanks.
The SC2 scene is pretty damn hard to get in to as a caster. Honestly a better way to contribute to SC2 is to just be a regular guy working a regular job and throwing a few bucks to your favorite SC2 personalities/events. Working hard doesn't always guarantee success. Some people just happen to be in the right place at the right time with the right experience. If you are banking 100% on being a SC2 caster for a living without a backup plan and no one knows who you are, there's a high chance you will end up disappointed and in poor financial condition.
I love Incontrol. He's always been one of my favorite players. He literally has put blood, sweat, and tears into this shit and IMO he deserves much more than he's got. He is an amazing eSports worker! He is one of the best and I really hate that SC2 is not as popular as it could be because he would be so much more popular if he played a better game. But mad respect for Incontrol because he's amazing!
Know that no matter how hard the thinks the worked or how much the thinks the "deserves it" that the is/was not the only "poor" one and that it is indeed luck of the draw "". For nothing is deserved or undeserved for all is relative and reality simply is.
I just wanted to leave a positive comment because I really like Geoff as a personality on you tube and Twitch. Some people on here can be total scumbags. I appreciate your streaming and casting- I love 40k and am excited to see a hobby of mine shared by such a fun streamer. Thanks Geoff for sharing so much of your life with us- keep on keepin on and I'll keep watching. -Librarian Dante
People who have never picked up a controller have no fucking idea how hard this game is to play. It's literally harder than any other thing I have tried. People love to preach about shit they know nothing about. Well done well said.
iNcontrol is the man, screw the toxic haters. He's smart and tells it how it is. I met him at MLG and he was nice to me even tho I'm a complete stranger to him.
Man, i have nothing but respect for you. Btw, you should listen to slipknot's song "People=shit" once a week, just to remind yourself, what we really are. Good luck and stay strong!
not really knowing Geoff, his journey to where he is at is admirable, i'm happy the sc2 community has such a passionate figure, even though he's a douche lol
Being successful requires working hard, but working hard doesn't make you successful. Being really good and working hard doesn't ensure success. Geoff's story about working hard is a common one. Geoff's story about success is not. I really wish successful people would be less arrogant and see that their state isn't comprehensively their "fault".
None of these changes the fact that t he scene is over saturated. Money in terms of tournament payouts keeps increasing even though viewer ship is decreasing. Hopefully legacy of the void changes this and it all does 180 because Starcraft is great, lot's of great people in the community including Geoff and has potentially to be one of the better eSports out there. Would love to get into playing again, going to wait for LoV though.
Incontrol worked his fucking ass off to get to where he is. No one makes it in an industry like that without that kind of work. So don't take that away from him.
Dear Incontrol, This comment may drift into the void unheard but I feel like I gotta say something directly to you after watching this video. The only times Im happy are when Im watching esports and twitch, and your one of my favorite people. Theres just something about you, the combination of physical strength while bleeding for an intellectual game like starcraft; The success you have with what you love, The friends you have; the steady pay, The beautiful wifey, even the evil dog (Labradors are better), The worthy wordsmith, the masculine good looks, The big dick (88% chance given body type), The ability to laugh and have a good time. If I could be anyone on the planet it would be you! as you can see Im terrible at giving compliments and showering praise, but I'm trying.. I'm really jealous of everything about you! not a bitter jealousy, just jelly. Im just glad you exist! With so much time spectating sc2 and moba, I can tell when someone is just in it for the money, or has lost their passion.... and your not that kind of person. The fact that you respond to this negativity just shows even more that you care. So here's to you my good sir. may you find happiness in the next 16 years of your life, wherever your passions take you. Ill never forget what great things you did for the game I love.
I just found out this fucking bitch cheated on me 8 months ago Geoff... 8 MONTHS AGO in a 1 year relationship. fuck my life. You make me happy, like the red wine rant you did, you're great. Keep it up buddy, you make people smile
ppl who think sc2 is dead is silly and too narrow-minded. sc1 was around the scene from 1998 up to 2010 and it never lost steam in korea. sc2 is changing constantly changing with patches (david kim) and the maps (yes they make or break a build). not to mention Legacy of the Void hasn't come out yet and Blizzard confirm they are bringing new units out for multiplayer (going back what they said earlier?) so yeah, sc2 is def not dead.
He's one of those liberal Catholics that don't really believe what's actually in the Bible and accepts science, is for gay rights and all that. That's fine with me.
***** I'm not saying I agree with it. I just don't really care. Focus your attention on the Bible thumping assholes and crazy ass Muslim fanatics and so forth.
Haha, you know you're a forum troll when your arguing that you know more about person then the person themselves. All the so called "old boys club" members worked tirelessly to get to where they are now. Neither came from money or a prestigious gaming family that some people on this comment section would have you believe. I don't even know what OP is ranting about. That it's wrong for all these past BW pros know each other? That in any industry connections do matter? Or that people shouldn't peruse their dreams out of the possibility failure? Not every dream to be realized, but to just listen to some stranger tell you that it's not worth trying because they personally think it's too hard is what's far fetched.
Love the guy but SC2 is DEAD. I used to watch GSL, checked back they barely have any SC2 content, and even finals of series cant break 100K views. Almost all the pros moved on to LOL. Incontrol sustains because he represents EG, promotes their sponsors, and is a personality. I love SC but its so repetitive. Same crap over and over, each matchup has the same builds and styles. Not nearly enough variety in the game.
There goes incontrol pretending he is some blue collar hard working individual when in reality he is just some trust fund babb with a rich dad with lots of connections. To deny that the NA scene is anything more than an old boy's club is ridiculous. Nathanias had to get exposure and recognition from the EU scene because of this. The sooner the NA scene drops dead the better off sc2 will be.
i hate it when people say "they thank god".. thank god for what?.. if you believe in god then you believe he loves everyone the equally!! so why the fuck did he help you and not everyone else that believes in him.. dont thank god.. if you work hard god will help you.. if you dont work hard you are to blame.. NO, if you work hard you will help yourself.. good work otherwise...
"Go fuck yourself with a razer",
I thought for a second he meant like a razer mouse and I was like wow this guy is a true professional. Doesn't forget sponsors even when he rants. :D
Always gotta plug those sponsors.
RIP you legend. Thank you for all the awesome humor and insight you provided in your tournament casts and all the things you've done for the community.
Jesus, what a MVP mom, hope she holds on tight. Rest easy legend.
This is the truth and alot of people just simply don't have enough life experience to understand if such a thing is even possible within a person.
lol your the man Incontrol. I've always respected you as a player and your personality is an asset in the SC world.
RIP man. You made our lives all the better in just a short, short time.
I would say that you are both right. I assume that incontrol worked extremely hard to get where he is. On the other hand, if someone would work as hard and do it twice as good as incontrol but started today, that person would simply not catch up. It pays off to be first.

Respect to you, Incontrol. We love you!
damn, Incontrol just wrecks in this video.
He has a wonderful mother, that's for sure. Glad to see he has success!
I'm pretty sure anyone in fame, was lucky in some sort of way to get there. Because someone got lucky, doesn't mean said person doesn't also work hard though.

In control you are the man sir!!!!
You fucking go incontrol
Thanks Geoff for what you do for this community and game. Have been a huge fan every since I started playing stacraft 2 WoL when I was 17 years old.
Incontrol you are by far the best caster at the moment, watched you paired with Apollo yesterday at Dreamhack Open Summer and you two are the only pair of casters that actually talk about the game, as well as being informative so they any new viewers can actually know whats going on - rather than figuring out what Tasteless had for lunch...
InControl, KEEPING IT REAL. Respect.
Rest Well... Damn.
Only 33 😥
Incontrol is a total beast, he's quite the person to look up to.
So much respect for Incontrol
You rest now! Long be he remembered!
helping trolls get told from the grave. RIP SC hero!
Hey Geoff, dunno if you read this at all but i have to say: I disliked you quite a bit, just your comments and such but as of the last year i really value your effort, openness and just your honesty about some things you talk about.

I have a huge respect for you, Geoff. And for your mother.
I work hard. That's what everyone should think, because I do not.
I love Incontrol. He's always been one of my favorite players. He literally has put blood, sweat, and tears into this shit and IMO he deserves much more than he's got.

2007 really was the year of video games.

I hope the guy who made that forum posts watches this
Thanks for posting this ! I actualy never knew this story, great rant :-)
Show Business actually is like High School with money. Spot on!

Random sound effect at 9:15 scared the shit out of me

I really can't agree more with you ;D

You need to write that down and then post it xD But, I think a hug is in order :)
4:16 song name? ^^ that sounds old and sick
ppl who think sc2 is dead is silly and too narrow-minded.
sc1 was around the scene from 1998 up to 2010 and it never lost steam in korea.
sc2 is changing constantly changing with patches (david kim) and the maps (yes they make or break a build).

so yeah, sc2 is def not dead.
Nailed it.
But - God? Really? You're Thor urself man!
love the guy
"I thank God"
oh god... he's one of those...
"oh god..." You're one of those... Expressions; deal with 'em!
That's a constructive, not pointless, response.
He's one of those liberal Catholics that don't really believe what's actually in the Bible and accepts science, is for gay rights and all that. That's fine with me.
*****
I'm not saying I agree with it. I just don't really care. Focus your attention on the Bible thumping assholes and crazy ass Muslim fanatics and so forth.
He's not enlightened in sciense like you, my fellow atheist! *Tips fedora*
"One time made fun of destiny" only one time?
Sick rant! Song name anyone btw?
@7:15
mic drop...
why is he still playing ? how much salary does he get from Evil Geniuses ?
Salary doesn't matter to him. He LOVES this game, and he lovea what he does. Why should he change that?
We'll said demon8595
thx mom
during the harsh Canadian winter, i would drive a Honda rather than a Ferrari, hence your argument is invalid sir
Jealous people are jealous :)
he got trolled hard
Haha, you know you're a forum troll when your arguing that you know more about person then the person themselves.

bouse
Also, kill the music next time.
Love how he proves the responder right.
Everything will be fine if u go have a hair cut

So sad Anna dumped you, r.i.p. bruh
You need a haircut dude.
There goes incontrol pretending he is some blue collar hard working individual when in reality he is just some trust fund babb with a rich dad with lots of connections.

i hate it when people say "they thank god".. thank god for what?.. if you believe in god then you believe he loves everyone the equally!!
so why the fuck did he help you and not everyone else that believes in him..
dont thank god..
if you work hard god will help you..
if you dont work hard you are to blame..
NO, if you work hard you will help yourself..
good work otherwise...
benD'anon fawkes good sir because God ultimately provides. He does provide for everyone in the same way equally however. my best to you
plays video games 10hrs a day from age 12 to 17 such hard life ._.'
i don't get it ._.
it's funny cause im not... i have no reason to be =.=
how is it jealousy? just stating there are "harder" things out there and playing video games isnt.
okay bud.
***** age?
inCholesteroL
Was all pumped, till he thanked God, wtf? kinda diminishes everything you said before that =[
Ohh well, still love the fella
I fail to see the problem there?
Demon8595 He is probably "that kind" of an atheist who can't stand religious people, no matter whom they are.
SherlocK I bet You're American.
What makes you think that? You are wrong by the way.
haha what? that was the best part. He should thank God
