I hate people who gg and dont leave. A rule of thumb is never stop playing until your opponent leaves.

I think D2 has more trash talk/bm/scams than any other game

DotA is known as the game with the worst community, but I admit, D2 is pretty bad.

FA and I often did this in practice sessions, wed gg and then chat/theorycraft on what happened in that game and how we could improve our strats. sometimes Id keep on pumping roaches from all hatches while chatting when I had lost with 5k mins in the bank but it was all in good spirit and I never actually won with them after the initial gg or smth like that. Against strangers in ladder games its just bm.

If he says GG, it means you concedes the game, and it was a good game.
If you leave without saying GG, then you probably are either bad mannered, or didnt enjoy yourself. I know if I lose to something like double proxy gateways in 2v2, I wont say GG, or some other kind of cheese. Because it means just that, that it was a good game, so its not meant to be said when the game was shit.

When your opponent says GG:
Great, it means he concedes. Finish him, cause you havent won yet.
If he wants to have a friendly chat, or I do, thats fine. Ill kill him, and then chat to him outside the game.
get the win, then chat.
dont let your opponent rebuild after he conceded, and dont let your opponent do any sort of funky play, dont go afk or something stupid like that.
He concedes, make sure you actually have the win, and then chat or go afk.
If someone wants to chat while I kill all his stuff, Ill often actually tell them to leave the game, and then we can chat. If they dont leave the game, then Ill keep on killing them.

Yeah, thats alright if your practising with someone you know, but when you are doing ladder games with randoms then it does get very annoying.

Today i did a 2v2, we won, 1 person from the other team left half way through, and the person after he GGed, he waited till every unit of his died, which was annoying because he had a few air units in each corner of the map :|

Also the other day I did a 1 v 1, tried out a reaper rush, just seeing how well it works, and then he put in capitals "YOU ARE NO FUN" and left, i did laugh a lil at that though

i gg, but i sometimes like to chat afterwards to discuss strats everyone usually is friendly enough to talk with me though ^^". i usually won't talk after game because its too hard to find and you aren't in the "phase"

losing because you stop playing after seeing gg only happens once.
don't really know what the problem is.
Until I write you again, take care of your precious person.

ive met some cool and great people by just talking for a sec after i gg.

just casually mention why i think i lost, he'll either agree with me, tell me something differant, or just say nothing at all. in many cases ive met practice parts by just saying "and thats why i open 9rax" after their proxy fails

Some people say gg when they think they won. Its fucking annoying as shit, although its funny to shit on them when the game turns around

it's kinda odd how offensive gg is considered bad manner in sc. you don't see chess players getting all worked up cos their opponent said 'check.' not that i think it's wrong or anything. just a random observation.

Dunno. People intentionally doing this should burn, probably, as well as people hiding their buildings when they've already lost. Then again, that's a good reason to just play custom matches instead of ladder, you don't have to worry about whether you got a win or a loss.

Still though, I myself have been in several situations where I was about to GG or already did and then noticed that the other guy was not in as strong a position as I thought he was. The earlier posted example of a guy not macroing at all while he kills your expansion has happened to me too.

So what do you do in a situation like that? Do you just quit a perfectly fine and close game because of the stat system?
I fully acknowledge that I've lost by surrendering, even though the actual in-game situation might not have resulted in a loss. However, is it truly such bad manners to try and continue the match and notifying the opponent of this in this case?
I was under the impression I was playing SC2 because of the game, not because of it's ladder system.

i think if the game is closer than you originally thought, the opponent should be smart enough to know that you've figured this out if you gg'd but are still playing. it's only really bad if you're just making victory as annoying as possible out of spite.

I had this happen yesterday. Just destroyed the guy's main completely, he GGs,I have 8+ banshees and 8+vikings rolling around the map and he continues to build photon cannons at an expansion like he is somehow going to come back.

Then I come destroy his expansion... he GGs again.

What is this? I mean I'm playing in silver so it's a lot lower level of competition so maybe the etiquette isn't strong there. That's just dirty though.

You mean... checkmate?

And I wouldn't be surprised if chess players were as prone to bm as everyone else.

no, check. the analogy doesn't work with checkmate cos then it's technically impossible for the person in checkmate to get out of it. unlike an offensive gg where the player might just be a cocky bastard and could still mess up/find himself in a close fight.

But gg is like "I concede, good game" to a lot of people, which is why I think people get pissed about this (myself included). Chess players would get worked up if you tipped their king over when you thought they had no way out. Sure they can pick it up and keep playing but god damn that would be annoying.
