Sad stuff, but the game ain't over until it's over.

I think there's a Sun Tzu quote that reminds me of this...

That's terrible. Never happened to me on iCCup though. They are either noobs, or just playing with you just for shits and giggles...

Maybe these guys could have a conference with Idra, and agree to meet in the middle somewhere between dragging the game out for 10 minutes and leaving the instant your opponent's army comes into vision on the minimap?
I dunno about everyone else, but I LIKE it when my opponent stays in the game much longer than they should. Playing the game itself is stressful, but once I already know I've won then I can relax and macro up a large army at my leisure. As long as I have vision of what they are doing, I don't care how long it takes. I enjoy nothing more than sitting back and taking the map while making an army to crush their last fortified base, because I know I can't lose. Is it a waste of time? Of course it is, but I like sitting around for a few extra minutes to chase down buildings and savour the win...am I the only one who thinks like this?


Er, if it was a hard fought game or a close game, i would be so happy if he just gg and quit. I guess you're one of those few people who enjoy total destruction till the end for your foes.

Personally I always find it funny when my opponents drag out the game. It allows me to gloat more and humiliate them.

I play on the EU server and this _literally_ never ever happens to me. People either rage quit or gg and then leave 2 seconds later (maybe some Z imba in there, who cares).

It was a bit more common when I was still Terran and people would get frustrated after a gay 40min TvT game but as Zerg you almost never have to deal with that shit.

Yep, doesn't seem to even happen on EU, although I've encountered this a few times. Normally immediately after my opponent doesn't leave right after GG, I send a ling to every single expansion on the map and then just badmanner them like usual. More often it's something really weird like a Terran staying on 1 base after I destroy his natural and I scout every expo and he has nothing and then I'm incredibly confused, then I have to wait like 15 minutes to kill him with like 150 banelings because he turtles in his mined out base and then they complain about something.

I always wondered why people did such things as restart from scratch from a hidden base after being wiped by a 150supply army.
Until I saw some of my bronze friends' replays where it actually happens quite some times that they end up winning from this situation.

I will say that maybe they might think they can win (though I'm sure many are just trolling you). One time I got cannon rushed on blistering sands, and my 3 zealots couldn't kill the many cannons...I immediately gg'd, only to realize like 3 seconds later that my opponent sucked and that I had 400 minerals to expand to my natural! Anyway, I kept making zealots and then sent around 6-8 to wipe out his base...only to see that he hasn't built a gateway this entire time. He had been trying to build cannons to harass my natural. Anyway, after I got all his probes in my base and his, he realized that I had won...only to bitch to me about me saying "gg". That it was false etc...

Well, I definitely gg'd a little early, and I wonder if some of the people you play are like this. They gg only to realize a few seconds later that they think they can win (even if they can't).

If you play as terran, and he cannons up like a little bitch. just go ghosts + nuke.
its better than having to throw down a factory + techlab + research. esp if ur playing vs P ur gonna have a big MMM ball so u`ll already have ghosts. just research the nuke. and nuke his ass. 1 nuke > cannons.

That pisses me off more then anything when I see it at the lans. It just like come dude, people are watching, are you really going to pull this shit? At least most of the people I know who play wont let up until the other person leaves just because of the fake gg haha

Agreed. Fake GGs are so annoying and BM.

Usually now if someone says GG and doesn't leave after about 10 seconds, I'll say something like "this is the part where you leave" to try and get them to take the hint. But yeah, I've lost a few games because I let my guard down when they gg'd, but now I know never to stop until they've left the game.

This. I take two seconds to reply to the GG, then I continue playing as if my opponent did not leave.


Exactly.

I feel for you, OP. Just ignore their rage and ignore the fact that you believe that you've won the game... until you actually see the Victory screen. People do incredibly annoying tactics and become incredibly BM... even if they're the ones who're at fault.

what's worse is the fake GG where you think you have the game won and relax, only to find the other guy has hidden tech and rolls you while you have stopped macroing. You feel pissed and don't want to GG and he ends up having to kill all your buildings.

Offensive GGs + homophobic slurs in response to a certain playstyle! That's really classy.

Didn't read all the posts, but who cares?

If you don't see him LEAVE the game, just pound down his army/base until he's eliminated. Simple as that.

Pretty much this.

You should always play through until they leave because it's good macro/micro practice especially if a huge battle has just occurred. Knowing how to transition well out of those situations is good for the next games as well.

There's always something to be practiced, and usually the start is the least of your worries so always just play it through until they leave even if they GG and don't.
