TotalBiscuit died after years of struggling with cancer on May 24, 2018. He hosted the Co-Optional podcast, and he also managed the StarCraft South Korean esports team Axiom until its disbandment in 2015. TotalBiscuit was a well known internet personality and Youtuber who often acted as a commentator and critic for Blizzard’s games. That said, this definitely feels like a fitting way for Blizzard to forever memorialize the two most beloved StarCraft figures in the maps of the game itself. It’s hard to think they’re going to pay that much attention to the scenery, hence why so few people noticed it until recently. It seems like a really subtle detail that will often go unnoticed when players are too busy focusing on their APM in the middle of a match. Sometimes, they can even be found on the same map, if that map has more than one Xel’Naga tower in it. The plaques seem to appear on the Xel’Naga tower at random when loading up a multiplayer map. The logo of iNcontroL can be seen up top, and the logo of TotalBiscuit’s old Korean eSports team Axiom can be seen at the bottom. I'll miss you Geoff.To honor Geoff or offer comfort to his fa. In multiplayer, Xel’Naga towers will occasionally display a plaque of either TotalBiscuit’s or iNcontroL’s iconic logo. I take some time to remember my friend Geoff 'iNcontroL' Robinson, who tragically passed away. Over the years, Geoff has been a caster for major StarCraft II tournament organizers including MLG, NASL, and Dreamhack. Reddit user Subsourian pointed out the easter egg on StarCraft’s subreddit. A staple of the StarCraft community, Geoff iNcontroL Robinson has been around since the days of Brood War and was a founding member of the StarCraft II division of Evil Geniuses. Incontrol was not fazed by the loss, and stated that he was looking forward to 6-8 days immediately after the match when Reddit would decide to love him again.An easter egg by Blizzard was discovered in Starcraft II’s multiplayer that gives a loving tribute to two of the most well known StarCraft personalities who unfortunately passed away recently, TotalBiscuit and iNcontroL. “iNcontroL is the best American BW player turned SC2 player turned part-time caster who is still currently on EG,” said Destiny, “so it’s a big win for me.” The landmark win was his first headline in recent years that did not involve DDOS, hate speech, penis pictures, or League of Legends. “And we all know what that means: dead game.”ĭestiny, like Prime’s MarineKing, returned to StarCraft after discovering other games were too difficult. “Without these players, it would only be Koreans placing high,” said user HoldMeGrack. The showmatch, considered by fans as the “battle of the year” between the world’s best two non-Korean StarCraft 2 players, featured a controversial North American Zerg against a Protoss on EG’s payroll. In a close 2-1 victory, Steven “Destiny” Bonnell prevailed over EG’s Geoff “iNcontroL” Robinson in TotalBiscuit’s “Bitcoin StarCraft” showmatch that featured a $4,000 to $10,000 prize pool, depending on what time of day you checked.
