You ever play a game where it looks like your opponent has got you beat and they say GG? Ooh that makes me mad. But, I always remind myself to never give up until your army is gone. My roomie and I playing a 2v2 match just last night managed to beat our opponents when they clearly had us outmatched in army units and expansion domination throughout the entire map. And sure enough, when they said GG just as they were wiping out our mains, my roomie and I manage to nuke his forces, destroy all their bases, and eventually take home the win. I'm talking by the end of the game just 1 ghost, a couple colossi and a few stalkers to protect the last 3 pylons that kept us in the game. Is there nothing more sweeter than when your opponent says GG because they think they're about to win, and 5 minutes later you beat them instead? I just love those games

If anyone is interested, I've saved a replay of that exact game from last night. Let me know if anyone is interested in watching it by replying to this blog.

Yeh, attach the replay, I love watching over confident assholes lose, especially if they say GG cause they think they are going to win

Yeah, when people offensive GG me, It's like something comes over me and i fight back 10x harder :D

I've also played games like that where i'm on the ropes, and I'm about to GG out myself, then they go ahead and offensive GG me and im like... F YOU BIATCH! and own them

Yea, its pretty BM for someone to GG you when they're winning. I remember someone did it to me in a TvP so I went turtle Terran on his ass (3 rows of turrets around my base, plenty of siege tanks, plenty of mines, and a control group of wraiths to snipe arbiters and carriers lol.

Extended the game another 20 or so minutes :D

So like this reminds me of a ladder game my partner and I played where we were offensive gg'd. We ended up losing, but right after we started another ladder game and we got paired up against the same guys. This time I offensive gg'ed 2 minutes into the game and then we both offensive gg'd when we were about to win. Sweet sweet revenge

I hate when I push an opponent and wipe out their expo and they GG....

And then like 14 tanks show up at my expo and seige.

And then I wipe that out while they float their buildings all over the place and drag the match out a half hour.

Idk i do that a lot, but its usually against people who have lifted their last few buildings or trying to hide pylons etc, no army no mining bases............. waste of time :S

Why is it considered rude by starcraft players to say gg first when you win?

I was laddering today, and some BM mofo decided to talk shit the entire game.
He talks crap about my opening and then 4 gates me and put pylons everywhere in my base, but I shut it down. Then I tried to run up his ramp with some zealots, it got defended and he talked more smack.
Finally I starved him out with immortals and gateway units while I expanded. He says "lucky" and ragequits.

If it wasn't satisfying enough crushing an arrogant idiot, the win bumped me up to diamond. You bet your ass I saved the replay.

Offensive GG's are super BM imo. Makes me angry... gah. I used to do it in WC3 when I was younger. I regret it.

In team game (and not RT) I offensive GG when one of my opposing teammates leaves (without having gged), bad manner or not? It's a weird habit, basically whenever someone leaves as my team is owning I instinctively think "ok game is over, type gg for closure".

Thats kind of a weird situation because maybe the other player still thinks he can win, but if its completely one sided after someone leaves I don't think it is bm

So it turns out I won't be able to get a link of that video up tonight. I still need to record the entire video and then upload it to my youtube account. But, expect this post to have a link to the vid by tomorrow.

I just find it annoying to see the letters GG when it doesn't come from the loser first. And if I see GG from the offensive before I throw down my GG (which I always do when I KNOW I lost), than I'm with Jugan. I try 10x harder to throw the game right back in my opponents face.

Here's another little tip. Now mind you, this pretty much only applies to Protoss. When you know you are beat and the offense says GG before you do and it irritates you, just do this: Spell out the letters F U with pylons. It takes about 1,200-1,500 minerals to do it, but if you have the money to blow and are ticked off, why not? Oh, and if you want to spell the full F word, that takes about 2,500-2,800 minerals. Haha, it looks awesome on the minimap. I only ever do it when I'm mad at my opponent if he's being rude and I have the money to blow.
