I see the "gg" like the handshake after a football or basketball game - you don't see fans going apeshit if Dwayne Wade or Kobe doesn't shake all the players hands afterward.

Imo not GGing is closer to not saluting our opponent after a tennis match, which really sucks.

Wow, Socke thinks he could have won game 2 against that 4 gate. I, respectfully, disagree. Lol yeah, I've never seen a non-4gate build win on Tal'darim. Ever.
Naniwa vs Cruncher in TSL, Naniwa won with blink stalkers vs 4gate

Well, yeah, there's no facts here, it's all opinions, dunno what's your point

I gotta say, NASL has been going really well aside from some minor issues, especially considering what high expectations they have to meet.

There is no excuse for not typing gg after the match. Yea it sucks to lose but everyone loses now and again and atleast you can give you opponent respect and you do that by GG
So like White-ra sayd: NO GG NO SKILL

Aww... Socke won't be at MLG? That sucks...
Anyway, I just got back now... so apparently Tyler didn't GG to Socke? Wow... I personally think that's pretty low. The way I see it is that saying GG is like shaking hands at the end of the game. It is a tradition in SC and I personally am glad it is around... and going back to the analogy, you don't see players not shake hands at the end even if they felt they played poorly... they only do it if they felt their opponent played unfairly or didn't deserve the win. I feel the same could be said for GG. It's easy to be frustrated at the end of the game, but saying GG is just a sign of respect to the other player.

Saluting? Tennis?
Do you mean shaking hands?

Really sad seeing Tyler lose here, He will come back for sure. About the No GG when you are that down on yourself you just really don't care. Tyler plays a very safe strong mechanical style. When he loses it's because his mechanics weren't good enough. So it feels like it's all his fault. Socke played real well. I hope Tyler will roll through his next couple of opponents.

Fans may not go crazy, but when stuff like that happens it usually gets significant mention by ESPN or other networks, I personally think of it more like the coaches handshake afterward but w/e.
I think it's a little odd to see Tyler like this, though I didn't follow him in BW so maybe this isn't surprising to those who have watched him for longer. I guess if it's a cannon rush or something and he doesn't gg I don't see it as a big deal since he is a fierce competitor as others have mentioned, but honestly socke is one of the better pvp players out there so I think its a little odd to not see gg, since its seen as a respectful gesture most of the time.
