Blizzcon 2019 | WCS Global Finals | Geoff “iNcontroL” Robinson Tribute

July 20, 2019, was the darkest day for the StarCraft and eSport community in a while, as we had to say our last good byes to the legend, Geoff "iNcontroL" Robinson, a caster, a player, a legend and a Friend, who passed away suddenly, at the age of 33.
Yesterday, between the Blizzcon 2019 Opening Ceremony and WCS Global Finals playoff, Blizzard opened the WCS Global Finals, in the name of iNcontroL with a tribute, that made me, and many others tear up.
Good bye iNcontroL, you may not live among us anymore, but you will live forever, in the hearts of the StarCraft community.
September 11, 1985 - July 20, 2019

You will forever be missed Geoff... You were one of the titan pillars of the starcraft community. Thank you for everything.

[@JayParalyzed]

I logged into StarCraft today for the first time in three years. Scroll down on my friends list and saw Jeff was still on it. Miss you friend.

[@Joneather]

[@Nagassh]

Thanks for making this easy to find, I missed it live.

[@RepentlessCrusader]

A few years back i got mistaken for Geoff, the guy was probably joking with me, but its to this day - the best compliment I ever recieved. Respect to one of the greats, I miss you man.

[@sd_league]

god this gets me close to tears each time. We all should strive to be remembered with so much joy by our close friends like jeff is by the whole SC2 community!

[@Sam_Frymer]

Geoff, we still miss you in 2022 - and always will man. Thank you for being YOU.

[@Filmworks-uh6bw]

Overall my favorite caster and to me he was an incredibly relatable dude. I never met him but can't help feeling like I lost a friend or at least someone I liked. It's honestly really strange to me how much it affected me. I still think about him and can't wrap my head around the fact that he is no longer here. I found this video just because I guess I needed some type of closure and had to search to see if they at least mentioned his name at the next tournament. Glad I found this.

[@josefx1389]

Thank you soooooo much for posting this. I missed it live and could not find it afterwards. Christ I needed to see that. Thanks again.

I recently was remembering my time as a 15 year old kid watching SC2 and looking up to people like InControl. I had the privelege of meeting Geoff at MLG Anaheim, he was even cooler in person. I was so sad when I heard of his passing a few days ago, I had been looking back and curious as to what all the former pros and comentators have been doing with their lives. It blew me away when I found out Geoff had left us. I'll never forget the vlogs from the EG house, his attitude towards the game he loved so much. People like him are what make gaming great, the passion day in and out. He helped pave the way for esports. RIP Geoff. The Sc2 community will never forget you.

[@WizzlePizz]

damn dude, years later and it is still crazy that he is not here. I regret not getting into starcraft earlier when I could have known him a lot more than I did at the time of his death, seeing these videos and watching the hilarious moments of him being that shining beacon in the room always makes me envious of the time I missed not watching him. Starcraft will always be in my heart and so will iNcontrol. I really hope his family is doing better since his passing.

[@TheBehm08]

When even Day9 who’s hilarious says “Geoff is funny” as one of the 3 words to describe him, that speaks volumes

[@fatboyjr364]

Watching this years later I was doing fine until they she said En Taro iNcontrol got tears in my eyes 😢

[@killa0185]

I remember learning about Incontrol from the Documentary Good Game. He seemed like such an interesting person, so calm and focused. That's something I will try to emulate and learn from. RIP Mayn, maybe well meet when this life is over.

[@PiouStarcraft]

Geoff made you feel like you were a close friend, part of the family... Years later and people still remember him, that tells a lot about the man.

[@leighbyford635]

RIP

[@jiakabery3550]

OMG!!!! This is terrible. My condolences to his family and friends. I only knew him through his casting. He defiantly was hilarious and seemed like a genuine human being. RIP INcontroL.

[@coooolibri]

ive watched and played sc2 for almost 10 years, cause my friend showed the game to me, after wc3. this is like when cyx left us early in countrer strike, this is why i loved this scene so much. having smix is a gem, she was the best host you could think of. she always was close to the korean players, and was able to give us insight we would have maybe gotten on GSL streams in foreign language only. i remember these people regularly, cause they really shaped me in a way.
