EPTAlso it is respectful to your opponents to try your best. Saying good game implies you tried your best and your opponent beat you fairly.

Most players when they are about to lose feel pretty bad and try to figure out what they can do to take matters in their hands, or what they can do better next time. A lot of the players at high end tournaments would find this rude as you're basicly taunting them. If you don't feel that way that's your situation but a majority of the players views pre-mature GG very rude. It only acts to imply the game is over, and mentally screw up your opponent. THAT is the problem here. Edit: Often when people offensive GG, the rage in me pushes me to squeeze a very tight win out of it, or a very minimal loss leaving these arrogant and ignorant a-holes silent. Uhhh. If you want to talk about premature GG, talk about that. Don't pervert the issue ... it'll only put you farther out in left field on understanding perfectly understandable manners. A player that surrenders early is opening himself up to ridicule. We have (In America) many yukks about the French for this. Reread what you quoted from me, as the response to what is startling in your post: You are congratulating your opponent on a job well done. It is good manners to give your opponent, should he conduct himself well (no cursing, unfriendly taunting) to give him a pat on the back. It doubles as a clue to admit defeat. "You won, you played well / carried yourself well, I admit defeat" all wrapped up in one. It is NOT self congratulatory in the least bit. You are surrendering in a dignified manner and showcasing good sportsmanship. Let me remind you of the real ways people in the game congratulate themselves in a surrender (and cheapen a gg, if they said it): You only won because of x unit (I was the better player, but lost) You're a cheesy newbie (I was the better player, but lost, and wouldn't lose again) God when will blizzard fix y (I was the better player, but lost) GG is not self congratulatory--it is humbly admitting defeat. You know, smile after somebody beats you at chess and offer your hand. DUHH HE WON OF COURSE HE DESERVES THE HANDSHAKE. THAT'S SO POINTLESS WHY DO PEOPLE SHAKE HANDS AFTER A LOSS?? Silly, right? So is how you view gg. | ||
