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. | ||

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. | ||

Until I saw some of my bronze friends' replays where it actually happens quite some times that they end up winning from this situation. | ||

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). | ||

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. | ||

If he doesn't leave in 10 seconds just destroy him more. i do this now, before i let my guard down and they just get enough things to fight u back. there are many player that after they lose their initial battler they type GG but dont leave and u calmdown for a couple of second and they have another army waiting for u lol. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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

I never want to have that feeling where I think I won, relax, and then get smashed. That would give me a rage tumor. 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. | ||
