Some don't. Some are douchebags. You'll meet all 3 kinds on ICCup. Just don't take offense if someone doesn't gg. It's only going to hurt you as a person and as a player to get angry over something like that. | ||

typing gg means acceptance of loss, not accepting your loss gets you an official warning, maybe resulting in a ban. typing gg after your opponent types gg means both players accept their loss, therefor both lose, none wins, the game ends in a draw (and both players receive a warning, maybe resulting in a ban). naw jk, for many ppl gg just means "gratulations, you outplayed me." in these days. | ||

On iccup you rarely play really good games, because there are a lot of smurfs who just roll you over no matter what, a lot of players who cant do anytinhg but allin, not talking about the tone of abusive shit, like racepick-glitch and other stuff a lot of ppl do. Or simply are assholes, refuse to communicate, to say where are tehy from, or lie about thier real rank, dont let you pause etc. Why the hell should you say to these guys GoogGame? If you put it simple, you lie. I understand that the games require some kind of formal closing thing, but why GG, why not sg which means "I surrender" or "you won" or anything, like FF in DotA. I personally don't GG if the game wasnt enjoyable, only if i know who i'm playing, or the guy talks a couple words to me at the start or at the end. And i'm not offended when others leave without GG, even if it was a straight up game, if he does not feel like that, it's not my concern. I dont play to collect GGs. OFC on a Touranment not gg-ing is really BM because it's the part of the official gaming, but on ladder? Who cares about nonsense manner rules like this? | ||

While I perfer when people gg back, I am not that bothered if they do not. Personally, I am far more unnerved by people who leave before you when you lose since then the match counts as a win for you. Then the statistic serves to mock you, since you realise that not all of the wins you have are actually wins (which is a lame feeling, particularly when you do not have a lot of wins to begin with). -.- | ||

But sometimes people will type gg and then not leave, so it can be dangerous to reply 'gg' and relax heh. Also when I am surrendering I 'gg alt-qq' so I leave right away. Unfortunatly it has become habit so one time I beat this Terran on Blue Storm and after he typed gg and typed gg alt-qq back and took the loss :D. | ||

You might not think so, but most people will - why would you even feel the need to message 'gg' to someone that is quite possibly frustrated by something he did during the game?

If you lose, always type "gg" and immediately leave the game. I've been in the situation before where my opponent loses the game and types "gg" but stays in it for another 5 minutes. That is plain BM right there. Sure, we always have our days where we're all just pissed off and become BM. A couple times have I lifted off my building and hid them because I got really pissed, and left the game without saying "gg" and typing "gg" before my opponent when I'm raping him. But that's just gay. | ||

on my journey to D+ I got 2 people who said gg before leaving. If I lose to something really gay I just gg and leave as fast as I can, it makes me feel better later that I wasnt bm. the people who offensive gg are pretty gay, I just hide some pylons around the map and alt tab. seriously theres no reason to say that. If someones not leaving I make some dark archons or scouts :/ just to have some fun myself | ||

Its because most people are too focused on playing to respond very quickly. So usually you probably leave before they say gg. | ||

Telling someone that just lost "well played" is soo bm holy shit First of all, if they're too stuck up to say gg they deserve to feel worse. If they just forgot then most people will say 'gg' back because they just forgot and even feel a bit guilty. But second... How is acknowledging the loser as a worthy adversary BM? Unreal. I guess people shouldn't shake hands after sporting events either eh? What do you think they're telling each other while they shake hands? Real sportsman can respect each other and admire each other's skill outside the game. If you're offended by someone saying gg to you, you're basically telling them that they didn't deserve to win and that you don't agree it was a good game. That's just being a sore loser. What if two friends play a bunch of games and one wins more than the other... Is it bm for him to say "ggs" when he leaves? Why is it different if it isn't? I mean... I guess if the game wasn't even close, it would sound like sarcasm.. But when you genuinely think they played well and luck was just on your side at some critical moments. I don't know. I think anyone who reacts badly to that is just a sore loser... It's not like someone is dancing around you doing crotch thrusts. They're just thanking you for your time ![]() | ||

But seriously folks, I gg on loss 95% of the time. If I'm on iccup and I lose to cheese I might lose my cool and leave without it but I do feel stupid for doing it and fix it by gg'ing the next game. | ||

On another note, I don't understand how people are so anal about seeing the gg. Other guy didn't say gg, big deal. Don't have to do drastic things like whisper gg to them or bm them. | ||

people need not say gg back, because as soon as the loser gg's, he should leave the game, not linger to see if the winner gg's back. it's utterly ridiculous, and completely pointless to know you're the loser, say gg, and instead of doing "gg F10 E-S-Q" you actually wait around to see whether the player gg's back. WHY? to see if he has any sportmanship? the thing is, when you lose, you're supposed to just gg and leave, feeling bad about losing, then go straight to watching your replay and improving upon your mistakes seriously, a thread about whether your opponent should gg back? COMPLETELY pointless thread, not to mention, stupid and painfully obvious topic | ||

but if i beat someone and they say gg i will always say gg back to them. but if someone just wants to leave without saying gg i'm quite happy with that. funny that quite a few of you use F10 to leave games. ALT + QQ is so much faster | ||
