While not set in stone, he did discuss a number of his future plans. He has signed with the representation agency CSA in hopes of gaining future opportunities (other members of CSA include Seltzer, Smix, and Anna). He also plans to be a full time streamer in 2017 with most of his channels content being SC2 related. Other projects include a "weekly studio produced" show starting in January; likely to be co-hosted with DJWheat on the topic of comics, pop culture, video games and so on. He is also likely to continue to be involved with Role Play hosted by JP and commentate SHOUTcraft Kings in 2017.

You've definitely made a big difference in the scene. Would like to see and hear more from you in the coming year. If you want to continue being a content creator, maybe bring back State of the Game? If there's a Patreon page for that, I would sign up. | ||

I think the era passed when Alex Garfield left... as for your question, does Suppy count? Him and HuK are the only active EG members left from what I can tell anyway, but that's probably only until the end of the year. | ||

Doesn't make any sense to me yet here we are and I agree it's super sad to see | ||

That "tied to EG" part also includes a salary and probably travel expenses and accommodation and stuff like that though. And probably a pretty good one. That said I'm pretty confident someone this entertaining (who also happens to be good at games unlike most streamers) and with his kinds of connections will continue to be successful even without EG's support. :D | ||

EG: "Hey Geoff, we don't care about SC2 anymore, time to move on" iNcontroL: "Dude, I care about SC2, which is why I moved on a long time ago. I just kept the tag for old times sake and the free Monsters" EG: "Yeah, we're out of Monsters" iNcontroL: "Keep your tag then. I'm gonna make my own tag; with blackjack and hookers" | ||

However, I'm really glad seeing iNcontroL stick around. IMO iNcontroL is among the most entertaining casters out there. Especially in an environment like HSC he's just brillant. :-P edit: Question though: Why would you give up on StarCraft II and at the same time buy a CoD team? Isn't CoD at least as irrelevant as StarCraft II in eSports-terms? | ||

I was a big fan of EG some years in the past when the team played in proleague with TL. So much big names played under EG Banner : Stephano, Thorzain, Puma, JYP, Jaedong ...One of my favorite foreign team for sure. Personnaly, I put this new (Geoff leaves EG/ no more sc2 in EG) at the same level of the proleague end annoucement. Nowadays, hard to be a sc2 fan. | ||

Geoff if you're reading this, good luck with your transition! I'm sure you'll continue to be very successful | ||

He has had pretty good public appearances over the years for pretty big audiences, that might be helpful outside gaming. If his passion is public speaking and he has a college degree, maybe he could be on a lookout for example radio host jobs or some public representative (which he pretty much has been for EG for about 4-5 years now). I mean, if he thinks he can make a living out of SC2 in long run, that's fine. Numbers don't look too good right now for that. | ||
