To be completely honest, it hadn't occurred to me to wish my opponent 'gl hf' at the beginning of a match, and always type 'gg' at the end. Perhaps this is because I've been out of RTS games for quite a while and forgot how to behave. I'm not outright rude, and will often say 'well played' if I was outplayed, but not always.

I will make a concious effort to be more courteous to my opponents from here on, and treat them as I wish to be treated. I'm not a rude person by nature, it just hadn't occurred to me to wish my opponent luck and acknowledge defeat with a 'gg' at the end.

I agree entirely with the saying gg and playing on sentiment being incredibly bad mannered, as well as the saying gg for your opponent when you've clearly won. It's just not good sportsmanship, and I'd be pretty frustrated if it were done to me.

If we're going to talk about gg "strategy" why not talk about gl hf?

That comment clearly spawned from a "fuck you I'm better than you are and I'm saying this to try to rattle you" technique, and it eventually became common.


I always say Hello and gL at the start of a battle. I consider it being friendly.

i've sat there for 20-25 seconds on a couple of occasions before saying "GL HF", the ironic thing is that people will respond with "u2" but i never see people say "gl hf" to me... it's weird...

One time i had a game where i had like one viking, no cc and he had a cc but no army. and so i was hunting down his CC with my viking. I'd rock up, he'd land, i'd land, he'd liftoff. Took like, 20 minutes to kill his cc. sooo frustrating rofl

Yeah I always say 'you too' when I see it, but rarely say it first. I'll start now though!
