If I didn't GG because I was frustrated when I left and he GG'd me after the game I would tell him that I was just so mad/frustrated etc that GGing wasn't the first thought that came to mind before I left (IE, I would not be mad at him for GGing after the game).

Then again, I usually don't say "thank you" if someone says "you're welcome" per-emptively.

Haha, that was a nice one
I look at it more like a "reminder" that I should GG after every game (according to manner, that is), not as if they are GGing for me.

IMO there's a difference between aggro-gg ingame and aggro-gg after the game, just my opinion though.

Hmmm.. generally the loser's GG is commonly the ONLY chat in the entire game except for some 'glhf' exchange at the start for me..
I think it's a cultural difference though. Asians don't like to talk more than they need to, usually. We for sure as hell won't chat after the game like 'GG bro you forgot to say it'. When people do that to me after a game, especially one that I lost, I'm compelled to just reply very one-word answers that piss them off greatly, then wait for them to talk a whole chunk of lines then reply another one-word answer that pisses them. And those type of people are NEVER Asian.

Question: Why do people feel the need to type gg to someone, when he leaves without gg'ing? There's obv a reason why he didnt. He is most likely mad, but you just feel that it's very important to say gg to him? I dont get the logic.

That's the accepted consensus, but when people message me and say gg after I raged out of the game, I'm actually not angry at them. In a way they are saying that they thought I played well and they didn't win easily.

GG or no GG, does not matter on ladder.
You mean ESPORTS isnt a synonym for SC2? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ -Proud owner of a Filco Majestouch 2 with Cherry Blue Switches- BW or SC2? Why not both?

A) they gg'd and left before I could gg back
B) They offensive gg and I win, or they cheese and I win.

When I gg after the game in chat I try to offer a détente like you had really good micro/macro or next time just do this and you'll be me.

But yeah, no, undoubtedly bm to message people that left after the game saying gg. You're not doing it to be manner, you're doing it to remind them who won. Ask yourself the next time you do it why you're doing it.

edit: I also almost always graciously type well played if I gg in a chat afterwards.

I know you only have good intentions and depending on the way it's delivered, sometimes I might feel ok about someone giving me advice post game - but generally if I'm already irritated the last thing I want is someone giving me advice about what I can do better, even friends.

I actually don't mind this at all, even when I didn't gg. Usually I feel bad for not gg'ing like 10 seconds after I quit, so I get the chance to say it and talk about the game when ive calmed down.

Why would you message him with gg? Are you trying to provoke him to flame you or something? You should never message someone after a game with "gg", its just rude its because he's mad.

No I don't gg when I lose except on the rare occasion but I never offensive gg or message them gg after I win just mean and you shouldn't do it...

As for when I get mad at xxx game here I just go to the next game.


I agree with this. when people gg me after the game i just ask them why i think i want to hear it now when i left the game...

It's really annoying.

That being said, i just block communication so they don't continue telling me how bad i am or how to improve

I think it also depends on what league you're in.

I'm in platinum and I know that my games, even the ones I win, are crap; therefore, I don't feel like the game I've played has been a particularly good one. This of course has it's exceptions (e.g., if I get straight up manhandled by something other than cheese).

If someone is willing to say gg to me, though, I always try and acknowledge it.
Thanks for the break :D

There should be an official weekly "To GG or not to GG, that is the question" debate thread IMO.

I find it annoying that just because someone doesn't say 'gg' people assume he's angry.

That's sort of my thoughts. I don't think it's inherently BM not to GG on the ladder. It's a nice gesture, but it's crazy to act like this is some sort of holy law. Obviously I think it's a very different story for pro players in tournaments however.

In fact I would rather that someone just quites instead of telling me why my race is OP while he lifts his buildings and flys around the map for 5 minutes....
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly's a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

Yeah when i'm mad I try not to BM and just leave the game.

It's really frustrating sometimes when they type GG in the chat especially when they did an all-in I couldn't scout even though I sacrificed two overlords (I'm looking at you protoss). Sometimes I BM when they do this bs but I quickly apologize in chat after.
Try another route paperboy.

I must be BM every single game!! /sarcasm
I honestly think that some people leave due to frustration/resignation and don't remember to gg, in which case messaging them would be acceptable.

Are you serious? "Hey... Just wanted to remind you that you forgot to gg me last game in case you forgot!"

That's really BM, don't do that. Or do it, but don't tell TL that you do, and then call others BM.
