When someone is winning and then they call you a noob or something. Being called a noob isn't that big of a deal, but if they like barely win... Basically people who can't be gracious winners. I hate that. I am not going to get into a huge rant here, but I feel like sportsmanship is an integral part of the evolution of the game as a reputable professional endeavor and every time I run into a cocky victor, I get a little pissed. | ||

- Types "gg" before I can when I'm clearly about to lose - Types "gg" and then refuses to leave - Blatantly and intentionally prolongs the game | ||

The only thing that would remotely piss me off is someone massing up a whole bunch of units and then saying gg before his attack ^^ | ||

Like people who say "gg  " or make negative or retarded comments followed by "".It is fucking retarded and tilts me like no other. As Nony said when he was drunk "And he makes a smiley face because... he is like twelve". | ||

Only thing that tilts me is when someone does the offensive gg bullshit. I don't care if someone calles me a noob, chobo, whatever (because honestly I am) but when someone says gg to me before I feel the game is actually decided that engrages me quite a bit. This is the one thing that usually results in me being BM right back at them, I just despise it. | ||

NEVER to my opponent's face. Well sometimes in response to their BM. One time I started building crap all over the map after an offensive GG just to buy enough time to lecture him on why the offensive gg is BM. I aim to inform! | ||

I just... when someone starts being a dick completely unprovoked, I just.. I don't get it. What goes through these people's heads that makes them think that that would be a good idea, or at all constructive? Like if you're winning, what would possess you to start being an ass about it? I just don't get it. It absolutely baffles me. Do they think they're doing you some kind of favor? Or are they really so self-serving that they'd risk damaging someone else's self-esteem just to get a cheap laugh? I mean, obviously if some random BM in a video game damages your self-esteem, you probably need to work on being more secure, but the BM-er certainly isn't considering that. I just... Yeah. I just don't get why people have to be dicks. And to answer another question that's been raised a couple of times: it's not the things people say. Using specific words isn't what makes BM; it's the offensive intent. Someone is TRYING to be a dick to you. They are intentionally trying to attack you, be it emotionally or psychologically. Malicious intent is offensive because it's intended to be offensive. It's not about what they say at all. It's just that they're being assholes. | ||

Worse, when people are so clueless they don't know how behind they are. Even worse, when people call me a hacker a minute into the game and persist all game long. Obviously, after game they usually turn out to be cheating themselves (like 90% of them). When people join the game and leave on count down. Or ask max rank and leave. Or pause for longer than a minute. Or drop hack. The worst - map spoofs in obs games and scv gas stack allins. Many, many things can piss me off. | ||

"Play your best  "I'm like "um, ok" "no protoss below 2,5k can beat me pvp.." "yeah ok" "you'll see "He goes for a cannon rush which I completely ignore, I just build away from the cannons and put down a nexus in my second nat and start pressuring with stalkers. I get a bunch of probe kills and my 4 gate kicks in but I can't attack him head on because he has a couple of cannons by his nexus. Then naturally he's transitioned into dt and I don't really have time to react despite having a vastly superior army/economy. Then I gg and he says "see what did I tell you" and he continues messaging me after the game even though I'm clearly not interested in talking. Something very annoying about that, especially considering how close the game was. T_T But the generic "fu noob mh user" never bothered me much. | ||

If I'm offensive GG'd I'll sometimes instruct the gg'er that the loser GG's first, not the winner - if they think that I believe they're an idiot, it would probably annoy them ... but it's not as satisfying for me. I still think the best way to deal with any kind of BM is to snap off a witty one-liner then put them on ignore. | ||

In my experience there is a lot of Teamliquiders who don't have the same morality as BW players did. You'd always gg, and it was a rare occurrence on ICCup for people to not GG. The only exception was in the D ranks. The less skilled people are, the less they care about gaming etiquette. Anyone who climbed from D to -> C to -> B could agree with that. But anyways, I digress, I just find it dumb that people hate offensive GG but won't even GG themselves. Kind of makes the offensive GG in my eyes worth it - I actually do it against people who I know don't GG. What are they complaining for then? Why would it piss them off? | ||

Not gg'ing = "I dont' think that was a good game." Offensive gg'ing = "You've lost, now gtfo noob." One is far more offensive and frustrating to deal with than the other. | ||

People that talk to me after the game, after they won also bug the hell out of me. I had a person actually commentate the replay to me through chat, saying like "You should have had another Gateway. WHOA DUDE. QUEUED 3 PROBES, HUGE MACRO ERROR." | ||

I can Clearly remember this PvP I was playing on Xel'naga caverns; I was trying out new this FE into mass warpgate play that I saw Adelscott do on a Day[9] daily. At a very early point in the game a Threw down a fast nexus, which my opponent tried to kill --I successfully held him off and saved my expansion. Feeling very accomplished I kept throwing down more warpgates and massing a HUGE Zealot Stalker army. I was preparing to take my third when I heard a particular sound: the blade of a dark templar. I forgot the Forge part of the build (I didn't have a robo either) and he had 2 DT's, one in each of my mineral lines. Needless to say I was pissed, I felt I pulled of this build relatively well but then lost to something stupid. Then he said: gg I immediately left the game | ||

The other person is turtling hardcore on 1 base for 15 minutes, you wreck their base and lose your army but you can macro your army back and your opponent is almost mined out. Offensive GGs are never a socially acceptable act. It will always be interpreted as BM, regardless of your intention.

Every once in a while there's the "noob, get a life" comment, which makes me laugh because I have a life.  Even offensive gging isn't that infuriating. In fact, I just say "lol gg", and I get out of there. Afterwards, I just shake off the loss and keep going. I think at one point, I accidentally offensive gged....lol.....so don't know what to say about that experience. | ||

There was a 4v4 once where our opponents did a bunch of 6pools/marine rushes/zealot rushes, killed two of our allies, and left just my 2v2 partner and me. Our allies proceeded to ragequit. "GG," said our opponents. Yeah. We won that game 4v2. But right before they left, we managed to politely inform them that we were both off-racing. It was a 25 minute game, too, so they were pretty well caught up in terms of economy. Well. They weren't. But they could have been. | ||

you know someone mean serious business when they get two accounts just so can continue the BM if one gets blocked. (not to mention that they name one of their accounts after someone else to make it look like they got authority.) | ||

I leave without typing "gg," which apparently is bad mannered in sc2. I have no issue with people not typing "gg" after they lose; it's natural to feel angry about a loss. Anyway, apparently he takes this as bm and asks "no gg?" I say "nope" and he then begins to tell me how he's the superior player and that he "outclassed me in every aspect of the game." Of course, I have no idea how to navigate the bnet interface so I can't squelch him (if there even is a way) and have to sit there while he shits on me. | ||
