I think you are just misunderstanding what they mean. It's not meant to be cocky in my experience. Sometimes I type 'gl hf' but more recently I just type 'gg' and I don' t mean anything negative by it. | ||

I use it too since a lot of koreans dono what gl/hf is =\ how about typing gg after a game in korean font which ends up meaning haha instead of WW which is good game | ||

When i'm playing against you for example i don't care if i've played bad or not, if i lose it's simply because he was more prepared / stressless (spelling ?) / whatever reason you can find. If you felt you played bad and then feel like you don't have to tell it then it's just childish behavior. Simple as that. I feel bad, so i'm playing bad, does it mean that i shouldn't say gg because our opponent was feeling a little better than us ? No. It's not their fault if their mind were happier than us and thus allowed them to play better. By this logic, i don't see any reason to not say him gg because he just won the game ? I'm pretty sure the ones who don't say it, are either, not competitive player in a RL sports, or simply they're so fucking bm, and doesn't assume their loses. I don't care if you were being distracted by a girlfriend, a cat hell even an insect that goes throught your eye, it's part of the game. If you're really being distracted then just get rid of it ffs. | ||

There are exceptions but like what ? 0.01% ? This is just stupid to just leave and not saying it weither you played bad or not because saying gg would also mean that your opponent simply played better be it that it was lucky or not.

Your entire argument hinges upon your apparent belief that the only reason not to gg is to contest that it was a good game. That is not necessarily true. The issue being discussed is whether or not there exists actual legitimate reasons for being relatively obligated to gg. I think people who require it are just being greedy. | ||

No, it's not part of the game. It's some stupid arbitrary rule you pulled out of your arse that the game has no knowledge of whatsoever. So your opponent left without GG'ing? Harden the fuck up. By the way, I always say "well played" or "nice win" or "gg". But if my opponent doesn't, how is that my business? How is he obligated? I especially don't want him to say it if he doesn't mean it. I'd rather him altqq than patronise me with some pretentious bullshit that's only said in an effort to appease the most sensitive of retards. | ||

You'll always see when someone get out of the field without giving a single shaking hand he'll become a bad mannered person, simply because he doesn't want to admit his loss. How hard is that to understand ? So i fell offended by nature when i'm winning games against ppl that just leave without any reason. If you think it's stupid then i don't know what to say to you. It's even worse when someones say : Lol re ? God this is even more deppressing. Would've been way better if he said gg re ? | ||

During those games you spend the entire time trying to undermine or overcome your opponent. Generally you will subconciously dehumanise them as just 'an opponent' rather than as a fellow human being while you are focused. Saying gg provides the closure indicating the end to this mentality, eg since the game is over. It is meant to indicate a sorta no hard feelings attitude, 'we just played a game where we tried to kill each other's stuff, but it's not personal'. I'm with Chill on this one, just leaving a game feels abrupt, like a chess player just standing up and leaving the table without resigning their king. On the other hands, playing with friends is one of the few times i don't bother gg, although i mostly do it out of habit anyway. Since your probably going to talk to them in channel anyway, it's not like the last impression you leave with them is you leaving a game abruptly. | ||

Out on the field (I played football for 9 years) I would always shake hands with every other player after the game. I like it, I enjoy the sportsmanship. All I'm saying is, that if one of the guys on the opposing team decides NOT to shake my hand, well that's his decision. I'm not going to get sand all in my vagina just because some guy doesn't want to shake hands, and neither should you. And no, they don't leave without any reason, they leave because they lost. Just take the win and go play another, don't sit and dwell on it like it's some unfinished business. | ||

as for people not saying it, i could care less. i find it more of a personal preference rather than a unwritten rule that you have to do everygame. personally i do it, and some others don't, and i'm not offended if they don't do it, or consider it bad manner. bad manner is when they say 'rofl you suck' and leave. | ||

No, it's not part of the game. It's some stupid arbitrary rule you pulled out of your arse that the game has no knowledge of whatsoever. So your opponent left without GG'ing? Harden the fuck up. Well I think the idea is more that between veteran SC players (people who obviously know saying 'gg' is customary), someone considerate of another player's feelings might sense something is wrong if they don't type 'gg.' It doesn't inherently mean they're upset or whatever, but it usually does, which is where confusion comes from. It's also abrupt to just leave without saying anything (and thus awkward). At D ranks, it's no skin off my nose that people haven't learned 'gg' is customary, but at higher levels, not saying it is like just being a rebel without a cause. Common. It's miscommunication and the person who just leaves knows that. There's no reason not to say it, and it's always better than not saying it, whether you believe not saying it isn't inherently bad or not. It's like getting supply depot on 8 instead of 9. It's not gonna break you, but 9 is better. | ||
