Almost whenever I join a game on ICCUP, the creator will just say "gg" and start.

WTF

It's basically formal. Don't get all worked up about it. I thought it was offesnive too when I was an ultra noob. (Now I'm a sucky noob. Slightly higher. When I join a game I want to start right away. Also I rate this a 1 due to poor title and very poor post.

Koreans say "good game" or "gg" to indicate that that's what they want or are expecting. It doesn't mean that they think they already won, or to indicate that they recognize defeat.

Funny thing yesterday... some noob thought he won and said "gg" as he had a few lings in my base. He ended up losing. At least he had the decency to say "gg" again before he left.
