StarCraft issues touching tribute to Geoff \u2018iNcontrol\u2019 Robinson iNcontrolBlizzard\u2019s official StarCraft Twitter account posted a touching message on the passing of former pro turned commentator Geoff \u2018iNcontrol\u2019 Robinson on Monday, July 22. The post reads, \u201cthank you for everything, Geoff. StarCraft won\u2019t be the same without you.\u201d A graphic with more information was attached. It reads: \u201cWe are heartbroken to see the news about Geoff \u2018iNcontrol\u2019 Robinson. Between playing, streaming, casting, and hosting, he touched most everyone who follows StarCraft with his wit and passion.\u201d Thank you for everything, Geoff. StarCraft won’t be the same without you. pic.twitter.com\/zA7likyhf1 \u2014 StarCraft (@StarCraft) July 22, 2019 The post concluded, \u201cHe\u2019ll be sincerely missed and forever part of the legacy of the game. Our deepest condolences to his family.\u201d Blizzard does have a history of honoring respected community figures within their games. It\u2019s possible they\u2019ll be doing something similar for iNcontrol as they did for Dennis \u201c\u2018Internethulk\u2019 Hawelka when he passed away. On the Eichenwalde map in Overwatch, the words \u201cI *heart* D H\u201d were added to a crusader poster. Considering Internethulk was from Germany, the tribute made sense on this map. Overwatch League also has an award in his honor given to the player who had the most positive impact on the community at the end of each season. The company could immortalize iNcontrol in some form, but nothing has been officially announced Late on Sunday, July 21, it was announced that iNcontrol unexpectedly passed on Saturday, July 20 after suffering from a sudden illness. He was only 33. The statement on his social media page read: \u201cWith immense grief, we announce Geoff\u2019s unexpected passing due to sudden illness Saturday. We ask privacy as his family works to understand what happened and make arrangements.\u201d \u201cGeoff is deeply loved across many communities and we\u2019re all working to make sure his affairs are in order as he\u2019d want,\u201d the post concluded. iNcontrol was a StarCraft 2 Protoss player before moving onto commentary where he worked events such as season one of North American Star League and the 2012 DreamHack Open: Stockholm. The cause of death has not been disclosed and Robinson\u2019s family has asked for privacy at this time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
