i definitely agree offensive gg's are bad manner

however, when i know my opponent is clearly outmatched and has about a 1 percent chance of winning, but is still stalling around and being annoying and not leaving, i do politely ask them to leave the game.... i remember it pissed me off super badly when i was playing a tvp and i raped everything but 1 expo and had the entire map mining for myself, and i had to leave to run errands in 5 minutes. the fucking kid was mad at me for some reason and refused to leave and was pumping dt's and shit out of 8 gateways he warped in last minute at his expo.... ofc it would eventually get wiped out cuz i had a 200/200 army with ridiculous amounts of money still coming in, but i had to go and lost a game i won cuz he refused to leave the game.

so it kinda goes both ways, in terms of offensive gg's for the winner and knowing when to leave for the loser.

Lol, in those instances, just make it a moral victory. Explicitly say to the kid, "I have to go to do something right now, but just know that there is no way you could win at this point, and that I would actually win if I could stay. At this point, not even Flash + Boxer + iloveoov in Team Melee could win in your position. That is how badly you are losing. Good day, sir."

nice job, I love coming back to beat people when they gg offensively

had a game like that yesterday in TvT, the guy proxied an early barracks, comes into my base with 3 marauders and says gg... then ends up losing after i defend w/ rine/scv/hellion.

also, made this a while back after an iccup game.

BM Korean who thinks he's uber gosu playing in the C- ranks has the audacity to offensive gg me.

However he probably didn't notice my shuttle sniping off his 3rd which I had heavily damaged earlier.

And in the end...

Victory! Ironically, he didn't gg this time though!

Haha it's interesting to see people's opinion about this. I always thought this was just a little thing that bugged me and no one else really cared. In any case, I love when they say GG and you rickroll them 3 minutes later. My roomie and I played another match earlier tonight and instead of saying an offensive GG at the end of the match, this guy said "Sorry for stomping you guys in advance." This iritated me enough to 6 pool rush them and throw off their rush they were trying to set up. Sure enough my roomie and ended up beating them. Moral of the story, don't act overconfident by being rude.

But hey! This is just a game anyways, right?

I only offensive GG when there is obviously no other possible way to lose the game
That being said, I would only do it when the opponent truly deserves it.

Yeah I did a PvP yesterday where I got run over by a midgame 5gate all in attack while I tried to tech to colossus. I literally typed out gg, hit enter, and looked up to see he had offensive gg'd like a nanosecond before me.

I didn't really know what to do. It's not like I was losing the entire game and dragging out a sure loss. I was in the lead for the majority of the game, won both large battles, now had the tech advantage, but ended up losing to all in aggression.

It's very shallow of people when they do that. Some pathetic loser that thinks he's such a badass for barely scraping out a victory throws gg in my face as if I deserved it. Fuck off, Mr. Offensive GG.

Until I write you again, take care of your precious person.

Why do people have this mental picture of people who do offensive gg? Sounds like you got issues...

The deal is this, the game was clearly over, you admit it, and yet you think that he was bad mannered to say "good game"??? If he just killed your main army and sits in your main destroying your production I think it is fair to say gg as the aggressor.

I always make sure I have the whole map scouted before I offensive GG anybody and I've wiped out their whole army, I don't feel better than the opponent or feel like I'm badass, I just say "gg?" to see if the opponent wants to end the game as well and go our separate ways.

Which situation makes you feel worse:

Someone saying "You have been defeated by me."
or admitting "I have been defeated by you."

There's an aspect to offensive gg that makes the speaker seem pompous and overbearing. Though one may honestly be trying to say, "Hey, you played well regardless. Good game.", it's hard to determine that from two letters. If you want to be a manner guy about victory gg'ing, then why don't you just type out what you mean? That wouldn't be...a bother to you, would it? I mean, if the game is truly over?

Until I write you again, take care of your precious person.

I just mean that I am sure that just about everyone who says gg first as the winner do not understand that they are bad mannered according to you guys. To them gg doesn't mean "You have been defeated by me lololololol!!", gg as the winner is only offensive if you assume it is. If you assume that it is mannered then it is mannered.

When I see "gg" and I am losing I assume that he means something like "Good game, better luck next time!". It is just your obnoxious paranoia which makes you think that saying gg as the winner is actually offensive. Everyone would be happier if they assumed that it was mannered.

Offensive GG pisses me off because a lot of the time it seems deliberately BM and the game isn't necessarily over, but i think some that do it don't understand its BM.

I definitely feel if the winner says gg first, it is bm. Even if your opponent is being an ass and building pylons and supply depots everywhere to annoy you, ask him/her politely to leave or say the game is over or just rage (or maybe that's what he/she wants). I can't really think of any grounds of saying gg first. If it was a good game, say really good game or something. Do not abuse the holy gg. And if I lose, I definitely like saying gg and exiting super fast without a chance for the other player to say gg back to me. It's like a super cool exit. And it's like a game, see if you can catch the gg and reply back!

I remember one time I was super ahead in a ZvZ but totally screwed up my decision making in attacking instead of defending my own base. I lost, was super frustrated, and when I went to gg and quickly exit I read "hh"! Man that had me laughing for a while.

I do it to my friend when he underestimates me and goes 3stargate scouts off 1 base.

Saying the gg when you have the game, before your opponent does is by far the most unmannered thing I can think of, it's really a big pet peeve of mine. I'm really not sure why, I suppose it is insult to injury.

I think that it is just something in the sc community, I have seen people do that a lot in other games and none minds.


Offensive gg in starcraft is a huge dick move because if your opponent hasn't gg'd yet, he clearly doesn't think the game is over! He hasn't lost yet, and it's his right to fight until he thinks he cannot win, so for you to tell him he is dead before he has come to that conclusion is of course very rude. I'm not sure what other games you are talking about, but I haven't played any where it is ok to tell your opponent the game is over while he is still trying to win.

Um, many don't leave even when they know that they have lost! There are people who think that it is fun to play and don't just care about stats, you know... Saying "good game" means that you think that it was a good game, how can that be bad mannered really?
People might say it a bit too early sometimes but I don't see the BM of that either. He just thinks that he already got the win and want to express that he liked the game before you got the chance to leave, then in some rare cases you can still fight back and win but what do that have to do with anything?

Lastly people who do offensive GG's are most likely mannered people who don't know about this special starcraft culture where saying gg as the winner before the losers says it is considered bad mannered. "Good game" is after all a compliment...



i have never in my life seen an offensive gg not done to basically represent 'haha you fucking lose noob'

it is a bm move and everyone knows it to be a bm move

gg is not really to say 'i had a good game man'

gg is a universal symbol to say 'i give up', so you're basically telling your opponent 'haha give up now' . GG essentially declares the game over, and it should of course be the losing player who declares this first

it just is a dick move, and your ignorance on the matter is quite astounding
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.
