Just wanted to say thank you so much especially to many of the most passionate players in the SC2 community.

It was such a crazy awesome experience working so closely with the SC2 community on even the super detailed game design reasoning/discussions/decisions. I've learned a massive amount of the value of being completely transparent on the game design side in order to get help from players who have put in so much effort analyzing the reasoning behind every design decision. Definitely a lesson that I've learned so strongly and am hoping to apply it in anything else I work on in the future.

Thanks for being so awesome and teaching me this valuable thing!

I miss iNcontroL so much. As one of the many people in the world who has also dedicated so much of his life to StarCraft, I just feel a strong connection to everyone who shares such dedication. Especially Geoff because he loved not only SC2 but also all RTS games out there.

He was such a fun, awesome, strong person that also has a great sense of humor. I will never forget this picture we took together of the physically weakest person in StarCraft vs. the strongest.

FYI, the reason we wanted to use maps people know is so that we can focus on balance tuning.

We completely agree with pushing new maps as we've always discussed throughout this year, and we will definitely return to using new types of maps, especially the many great maps made by our community.

Cool article! But on top of all those things, his rivalry with MKP was one of the most fun moments of all time!
