You gotta admit, if there wasn't any bad GG timing out there at all, then there wouldn't be as many chances for BM. As painful as it is to watch any player out there to do some bad GG timing, there is a small glimmer of hope for some amusing BM to happen.
And you have to look at the player's perspective for a moment. Although they may face a situation where a comeback is impossible, they just don't want to lose and want to stall having to face the consequences for as long as possible. Although GGing at those moments may be the sensible thing to do for most people, for some, GGing is not an option. A good example to describe this is when you play a board game against a stubborn person and they refuse to stop playing, even though you've basically already won. And when you tell them to stop playing, they just give you a big "FU" and continue to keep on playing the game. I feel that this example can be applied the same way to Fantasy.
Most players out there have done some bad GG timing at least once. Fantasy is just a really, really, really stubborn player. And if you hate stubbornness, then you will hate Fantasy's guts to bits, because Fantasy takes being stubborn to a whole 'nother level.

Blah blah blah. Zero vs Fantasy WCG Korea 2010, set 2. It was obvious comeback, even if made becouse of Zero's horrible play.

Hey what's with all these people hatin' on Fantasy?
+ Show Spoiler [OSL] + His GG timing may suck, BUT HE STILL JUST WON A FUCKING OSL!!!
Suck on that Stork-boys
EDIT:
Makes it a bit hard to diss his play

This is pretty funny, hahaha.

I don't hold it against him, it's always good to take the opportunity to improve crisis management. I know I've had some insane comebacks because of my joy for fighting to the last breathe.

Stop complaining about his gg timing lol, if you played this game for money then you wouldn't want to give up so easily either

lmfao I can't believe this has a banner now. This is amazing.

Flash vs Best, set 2 of the NATE MSL RO8. Now THAT was some ridiculous GG timing.
|
I think it's just Fantasy's utter hatred for losing a game and this is how it manifests itself. Where a guy like Idra ragequits, Fantasy just refuses to accept the loss for another 5 minuts.
I really don't mind either, plus it's always nice to see scouts :D

Fantasy doesn't do a good job of looking heartbroken, though. When FBH refuses to GG, I really feel for the guy. Fantasy just looks like he's swallowing three times a second instead of two as he floats his main base =x

people are hating on him because of his terrible GG timing and the fact that GG timing has nothing to do with winning an OSL

Game 3 as well, when he had his hand off the keyboard, and still refused to gg for a couple minutes afterwards.

Chalrenge still has the best GG timing. Hiding pylons is even better than floating CCs.

Well, i've seen some bad gg timing even at low level.
The games against Xellos and Skyhigh remember me a lot of myself when i'm losing, i get pissed and i refuse to quit just because i thought i had the game easy and suddenly everything falls apart. This is pretty bad i know, but at least i never played on TV, where it pains all the fans watching.
Oov was known for his rather quick gg, he must have forgot to teach Fantasy this part of his game.

Sometimes when you screw up and lose, you don't seem to know what's going on anymore. Instead you try to think of what you did wrong, or what you could have done. I think that's also one of the reasons which caused these GG timings. It's not like they were trying to BM or look for comebacks, their minds were on something else for a couple of minutes before they realized "oh right the game is still going on"

I'm pretty sure alffla is like the biggest terran hater on TL though lol. At least that's what I get from his posts, so I might be wrong. I just think this is a bit spiteful. While I would say lots of Fantasy's gg timing is questionable, that's the least concerning part of his play (e.g. his play is freaking inconsistent).You can't fault him for trying, and there's probably a team dynamic in there too. :/
And it's been brought up a lot, but JD has some pretty terrible gg timing himself. Also, TurN vs ggaemo anyone? 
Edit: Btw, there was a recent game where someone was eliminated (or at least gg'd with like 1 building left). Don't really have the time to go through all the recent LR threads but does anyone know who it was? I think a protoss was on the losing end.

man I love alffla
absolutely hilarious thread and sick list
all these are fairly recent though, I'm sure there are many more games of Fantasy's GG timing
I must say that to be fair to fanta though, he is the type who tries too hard and is very very resilient; his gg timing reflects this. He wouldn't be fantasy if he didn't give his best shot.

It was Grape (vs Saint), and I believe he was eliminated (lost the pylon and robo), but squeezed in a quick gg.
