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.
hahaha noooo i ..often feel frustrated when i see terrans winning but i still very admire good terran play :D especially beautiful TvZ .. off the top of my head for recent games that have impressed me a lot would be how flash dominated best on fortress and flash vs snow on benzene was amazing too.
haha i'm sure many other players have had bad gg timing games but it just seems that fantasy does it a lot more than anyone else...... D:

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.
The best one was Bisu getting eliminated and not typing gg at all, against Savior of all players :p
It makes for better TV especially for the commentators.
It's the kind of like for football players that run on for 10 seconds with the ball and kick it into the goal even when they know they've heard the whistle blow for offside....

That is only true in cases like Reach where you know hes going to lose but his epic manliness hangs on while he makes his last stand.
When people float CCs and slowly fly away it's no longer entertaining.
What if he wanted to delay his next game? After some games my nerves are shot and I need the time to calm down.... it's part of his tournament strategy.... So this is fine by me.
analogy: I've seen some guys MEASURE distances from mousepad to keyboard. That's funny, but also part of how they play. You can't play well if you're full of adrenaline, especially the early game.

Except he also does it in Proleague, when he won't be able to play the next game

Maybe he wants to spend some time analyzing what exactly went wrong, and can do it better while he is still in a mental state of being focused on the game.
When I played tennis back in college, when I lost I would stay on the court for a bit and think about what I could of done better If I could, as it was a lot easier to focus and the loss was fresher in my mind. The moment I stepped off the court my focus started shifting elsewhere.

Fantasy's GG timings are so bad sometimes, that all it requires is an A-move and some macro. I actually think the Effort vs FLash on judgement day is a good example of a Fantasy GG timing. And if it hasn't been mentioned, Game 5 of the Batoo OSL finals.
I think this is preference, not exactly BM. I mean I always play until I have no attacking units I can micro, but the lifting CC thing was definitely he was upset, not because he was trying to troll Jaedong and the spectators. Honestly this is just being made a big deal of, as some people do not take loses seriously as others.

You say as if you fully understand how it feels to lose a Game 5 of a Bo5 finals.

Don't be so cruel towards those cases
I believe you have watched that game, and he had a valkyrie against muta scourge and lings. His wall was down, turrets burning, production buildings burning.
SKT vs OZ last night: hilarious how he has 1 scv, doesnt know where jaedong is, a handful of marines against jaedong's 3 hatch 2 sunken defense.
No matter what, there's always the possibility that your opponent could have a heart attack in the booth, giving you time to land your burning CC, make an SCV, repair it, then make an army and make a comeback.
