When it comes to online gaming in general, players who ragequit and/or flame you because you won the match against him/her are pretty common, therefore making the online gaming community a sort of dangerous community to be part of.

However, there is this one rare instance that you find a player who is a good sport even though you have "pwned" him in a match of sorts. When I played Starcraft 2, I get about 2 polite players so far. My recent opponent even lol'd at the loss of his units that he had to sacifice his drones, which I admit is damn hilarious. I admired him for his decent turtling, even though it's a tad excessive for a Protoss player. We watched the replay together and exchange hilarious comments of how we played and gave a bit of advice, though I doubt he would take it since I myself am a Bronzie and I have a long way to go to improve my strategy. On the bright side, I think I finally got the Roach Opener just right.

Anyway, players who are consistently polite whether they win or lose are awesome and it's people like them that make the gaming community a fun place to be part of. There's nothing wrong with being a good sport, as it starts with a simple GG.

Anyways, now I got THAT out of my chest, I wanna say something that is completely unrelated to the topic:

YAY, I HAVE REACHED RANK 7 IN BRONZE!

What I hate even more is a player that beats me and doesn't GG, saying that it wasn't a good game because I sucked. Like gg has anything to do with that. Also it's not like I play bad on purpose - I actually never cheese and just try and play standard strategies. When this happens I often don't even feel like playing anymore. Fortunately, those kind of players are only a minority in the BW community. Most of the guys I played were pretty cool, polite or even friendly and helpful. One of the major advantages of being a part of an overall older community.

Also congrats! and good luck on your jurney.

I always thought that the loser should go GG, lol. Though the winner should have the courtesy to try and thank the opponent

Both players should always GG, if possible (e.g. after the game in chat, if you're friends). I also noticed it's not that much of a rule in SC since the player that loses often quits right after GG to end the game. The case I'm talking about is me GGing and the winner basically saying back "fuck your GG nub".
In CS or Quake it's generally expected for both sides to GG before leaving - at least used to be back in the days - since you don't have to leave for the game to end.

Hmmm.... that kinda makes sense. I will keep that in mind.
