I have noticed a lot of players type 'gg' in the pregame countdown. Sometimes this is in place of 'gl hf', sometimes it is alongside it.

At first I thought this was bm, but it seems to common that I figured I must be wrong...

Whats the deal?

People just spam all kinds of shit before the game to make them look like fast Koreans, it's ridiculous.

Confused me at first as well. I also think from time to time that it could have a double meaning like you've thought, but so could gl; gl [you need it].

I do:

gg
gm

Sometimes, usually with people I don't know. To me it means like this will be a good game, let's both be mannered people.
Peace~

I type "gg" before the game starts because it's the only shorthand I can use on the internet without hating myself. I refuse to type "gl" or "hf" and I don't have time to type "good luck" or "have fun." I mean it as in "let's have a good game," like others have said.

I find that if a player says "manner manner" it probably means that they're not mannered at all and just want to cheese you early game and be a total dick about it.

When they lose its either:
1.)Disc
2.) leave without saying anything
3.) RE?RE?RE?
or rarely but happens..
FUCK YOU FATASS AMERICAN.BUSH FUCk..

but "gg" in pregame is not bm I think, let it go, he's just trying to be like, ok lets have a fun time.
:D
