well basicly it are just some words. and words mean nothing..
"I love you" only means something in a relation, after some conditions.

imo GG are just some meaningless words and in the end dont add anything negative or positive.
but the fact is, its not bad to use them

I find it hilarious. I've left games without saying gg because I was frustrated. It's no surprise some players feel the same way too.

i dont have a problem with my opponents not gging. I never let up until my opponent leaves to avoid any gg stayers.

Personally i always gg to avoid people getting butthurt.

In itself it's not such a big deal but I think it's kinda sad to see that most ppl have zero manner on the internet.

I sometimes don't see the point in saying GG, just because you may end up with a game that is NOT good . I mean, if you fuck something up, or just play like a tard, why should you be forced to say "GG" when infact it is not? ^^

I always say gg when i leave.
On the other hand, if the opponent leaves without saying gg it doesn't bother me too much.. the victory alone satisfies me =p

when I lose in a game where I feel I played good, but lost to a better play I don't just gg, I also congratulate them on their good play. When I lose to a cheese I failed to scout, or to a mis micro, or in general just playing bad, I leave without GGing, but its never a shot at my opponent, or a rage quit, its just that I am so disappointed with my play I just wanna get out of the game fast, its immature but its how I am, I tilt easy. And if someone leaves without GGing it never bothers me, I won the game, I got my 130 points, why should I care about those 2 letters.

I guess im just saying, when I do it its because I messed up, not because I think my opponent is bad or got a lucky win or whatever, i just tilt easily, and since it doesn't bother me, I cant really see it from the other persons point of view.

Hmm.. I do that sometimes, but I don't mean it in that way. I'll say "lol gg" if they completely pwn me or something, as it can be quite funny, for example if someone was to nuke me and win the game that way, I would definitely lol.

But I can totally understand the frustration that people can feel when nothing seems to go their way, like workers glitching on the mineral patches when they split then their units not firing or getting stuck on each other (I'm sure we've all had 'that' game before), or something random like that that's out of their control. Or the game where you feel like you should have won, but they somehow come out with this massive force that perfectly counters yours out of nowhere. That's the sort of thing that might make people just press Alt+QQ without saying GG.

I always try to say it every game though.

To me there is only one thing that is even more stupid than blindly typing gg when the game wasnt even good.

Game begins.
<him> "from?"

Just what the hell is the point? Almost everyone asks you "from?" at the beginning, yet rarely does anyone even give a shit where you're from. They just ask you, you tell them, and end of story. The problem begins when you don't reply, some people go through all sorts of trouble just to get you to tell them where you're from, only to follow your answer with 20 minutes of silence. Some actually get angry, or leave the game if you don't say anything.

I really don't get this, so I usually answer something ridiculous like "uzbekistan" or "tasmania" (sorry if you're from there!) just to see what they say.

I've gotten really good at typing "Argentina" fast so we can get it over with already.

when you're playing in the yard with strangers, you just get up and leave? i think it's rude to not follow such easy and rudimentary social habits. you also shake hands after you got owned by realmadrid 13-0.

offensive gg is hilarious actually


there was this terran who denied my third expansion for like 10 minutes, he kept typing offensive GG throughout, i stayed in; i made a comeback, killed 3 of his bases and his army, he turtled in a second main and asked for re, i refused him and he fucking disc hacked on me


well you can't overuse it. it's appropriate if someone's bming you and you send 5 gas worth of ultras into a 2 gas terran who clearly hasn't been macroing

They want to know if you're Korean, also it's just polite conversation, getting mad at people saying "gg", "glhf", or "from" is like getting mad at the "kiss hello".

How is it stupid? Writing ''gg'' isn't meant (at least not any longer) to say literally ''Good game''; it is a symbolical ceremony done to express our respect for our opponent. Since our sport is played through the cyberspace we cannot exhibit good sportsmanship by, for instance, shaking our opponents hand (which is the custom in many IRL sports).
I believe in the almighty Grötslev! -- I am never serious and you should never believe a thing I say. Including the previous sentence.
