The information comes from various sources, pointing that there is a possibility of EG's protoss player Geoff "InControl" Robinson to sit behind GomTV's casting desk to commentate Code A matches in April and May.
The first mention of this was via Naniwa's twitter:
A few hours later, InControl came with a statement of his own, elucidating that nothing is confirmed yet, although the plan has been in the works for some time now.

Still need to hammer out the details.
Let me start by saying I am a player first, still. Yep, you can think what you want of that and call me bad or whatever but fortunately for me I am in a position where people still want me to play and I am one of those people. So I will.
I also love casting. Public speaking is one of my true passions. I gave speeches from early elementary all the way up until college where I competed in debate. It's a part of me I value very much. If I can find an excuse to yet again meld one of my passions with SC2 I will do that.
The plan as of now is to cast Code A for 1 month. They want me to cast solo and at the GOM studio. I also will be doing their show for a few episodes. In that month I will be playing on the KR server 10 hours a day (the casting gig is not that extensive) and I will be staying with Artosis (this is one of the parts that needs confirming) where I will work on the mental aspect of my game on a daily basis with one of the best minds in the business. I have connections with the SLayers house and the EG korea squad (JYP, Puma, Huk etc).
If I were to take this job it would put stress on my team as I wouldn't be able to cast EGMCS or do some of my other duties here in the Lair.
That all being said me going to korea for this extensive of a trip remains unconfirmed and just in the planning stages. It's been in the works for months now so I hope it does pan out but there are a lot of factors that could stop it from happening.
If I do go it will be mid April to mid May.
To those that are excited: thank you! This is my trip to mecca and if I can make it more worth my while to further my brand and do some casting for GSL, great! If this doesn't happen now it will some day soon.. thank you all <3
