Robinson also worked with Dan “Artosis” Stemkoski and Matt “CobraVe7nom7” Land on a weekly podcast calledThe Pylon Show, which they started back in early 2018.
Those who’ve been part of Robinson’s life have expressed their grief and condolences through social media, including his ex-wife Anna Prosser.
Nothing I could post would properly express my grief and shock. For now I just want to say: Geoff was & always will be a beacon of love, laughter and leadership. He exemplified what it was to be a good man. A world without him is wanting, but profoundly blessed to have had him.https://t.co/pVVQTGrPkE
I’ve known Geoff for almost 20 years. We played Brood War in high school & college and did years of SC2/BW events together. Geoff was a one-of-a-kind person. I’ll miss you man. I’m so sad.https://t.co/Rcv6qb1sEs
Rest In Peace@iNcontroLTV. There will only ever be one of you. You brought so much joy and laughter to me and so many others. I just wish I could have said goodbye. Just because you die young doesn’t mean your story won’t live forever.
