You needed another option to define a good game.

It's possible to have 2 players who don't use abusive strategies and still get a bad game.

A good game to me is any game where lag, disconnects, or any outside factors did not affect the outcome of the game. If I mess up, I deserve to lose.

While I only gg when I feel the game was good and I didn't mess up too much, I would also find weird to see a player in Proleague not gg even if the game was bad. I guess both meanings are acceptable.

To me it means : Thanks for the game.
Team LiquidUnderneath it all they were really quite nice. They just got screwed up. Mostly by stuff that wasn't entirely their fault.

GG for me means "congratulations, you've bested me in this contest of skill".

It's only an abusive strategy if the other person was using a 3rd party hack, in which case I'd just quit without gging.

I never 'cheese' myself but I'm glad that others do and respect everyone's way of playing unless it's cheating. People complaining about cheese in SC are just like noobs complaining about AWP in CS. It's a part of the game. There are ways of countering each possible style of play by superior play. If you don't like the game, don't play it.

Why are people so obsessed with the GG? I never GG unless I play one of my clanmates or I play in a clanwar or whatever.

GG = pointless on ladder

tournaments are another story. no one should be forced to say a game was good in a ladder atmosphere, calling bm when someone doesn't is just pathetic

To the 70%+ people who think GG means "I lost":

Do you GG back?

it´s a expression of respect and sportsmanship. It´s not important if it´s in a tournament or ladder background.
It also prevent me of becomming angry if i lost stupidly. For me it helps to keep a positive mindset.

by the way i think the gl hf is also important.

"gg" means: "I'm not an asshole"

also it is really bm to say "g" after a game, because it means "I'm not gging against you".

For me it means "I pressed enter before the second g and alt qqed straight away."

I GG at the end of game like 99% of the time.
- When I clearly lost: I GG to my opponent, acknowledging my defeat.
- When opponent GG's, I GG back in courtesy. It's like saying thanks for your time, was a pleasure playing with you.

When I don't, it's because someone called me at that precise moment or something =/

For me, GGWP carries over from sportsmanship. For me, its just like a tennis match.

Nobody likes losing. And I HATE losing in tennis. If I have to go to that net and shake that Ohio State player's hand, it makes me sick. But that doesn't mean I won't shake his hand and say "good match", even if I played like I'd never picked up a racquet before.

Starcraft 2 for me is the same way. If I'm REALLY pissed, the most you'll get out of me is a gg. If I actually think it was an okay game, you can expect a ggwp before I surrender out.
