I like chatting in game before or after the gg. There's no chat channel so it makes it very hard to meet new friends. Most of the time, it's friendly. The only time it wasn't was when I defeated a player and he started complaining.
This road isn't leading anywhere...

I used to lan sc1 with a group of friends FFA. My friend Sean would always "die" and float off somewhere and then end the game with a battle cruiser rush or something stupid while the rest of us were still duking it out.

Are you saying competitive CS and other FPS does not require as much intellect, will power? You seem to say that they're brutes throwing stones at each other while SC players are sophisticated intellectuals.


This is exactly what I am saying.


What a joke. I'll concede CS freely (it's to top level fps games as wc3 is to sc) but the higher skilled mtg formats and quakeworld are straight up as skillful as sc... and they have atrocious manners. I have had people say things to me in money games that would curl your hair.

Spoken like a true Q3 player. ^^ Unfortunately, there's far more money in CS than the others and it was much more popular, which is totally unlike wc3 and sc. The failure of Fat and dkt to achieve anything near dominance should point to the different skill set required in CS than Q3.

personally, i would say it's more like:

C) BW
D) BW

quake is different. quake is hard and takes a lot more practice and thinking than cs. I've never won money at quake, but i've won a few thousand at 1.6 and a few hundred with 2 source lans.

Whenever someone says GL HF to my roommate he always responds with "Don't you dare"
It's so funny to see people freak out over it. On more then one occasion he's gotten people who type "Wht did i do???" for like 3 minutes.

Unless we're playing 2s for some reason. The he always sends a Gl HF back :p

when people gg after shitting on you, its called offensive gg.

this makes you angry then they usually kill you with scouts or something.

just dont chat with them and keep playing


Yup. Its good training. I really hate it when ppl say GG after winning a big fight or the game.
But its good training in the ways that one day you might actually play vs good players that are really bad mannered like Idra or so. If your aim is to get good at sc2 these are prolly the moments where u should try to be calm and you ll benefit from it.

Hehehe, just played a person who said I was cheesing and said I should kill myself after I started my gateway on 10 and sent 3 zealots to harass his nat hatchery. Then he proceeded to say I was all-in attacking him with a 4gate immortal push right after I had gotten my own nat up and running.

generally people have been well mannered, though I've had a few offencive gg's thrown at me, which is annoying. I will leave a game without saying gg if I'm in a bad mood though, and I don't consider it too bm if somebody leaves without gg if it wasn't a good game at all.

I don't GG cheese, unless it's someone I've played before and I know it was a rare occasion. Other than that I give a gg when I lose. I never go for the preemptive "I win" gg.

I had this happen to me yesterday. Someone lost their main and typed gg while they had a high yield and were expanding to a third, lol. This happens a ton to me 2vs2 too.

personally, if someone writes GG to me, i feel like i have won. And usually let out a big sigh to get rid of the tension and finish him off if he doesnt leave.
I'm Norwegian/Dutch. Just the awesome parts of them though :D

I don't understand. Theres no reason NOT to GG anything? If he cheesed, his stradegy beat your stradegy, even if it is lame. It sounds like QQing to me. Every loss is a lesson, and GG'ing shows this.

When I play I'm gonna mix it up a bit just for fun. Still trying to think of ideas.

gg is too robotic and inauthentic

Weird. Usually the people I play in silver ladder don't say anything.
Except the one person who spent the whole 5-minute game lecturing me about why luck has nothing to do with the game (due to my gl hf).

Other than that, the only GG i've ever seen is somebody who did so before I did when I was clearly losing. I think, at least in the lower-tier leagues, it's safe to assume that everyone is an ass.

When people offensive GG you make pylons everywhere / float buildings away to be an asshole. Then you go get a bowl of cereal or something while your opponent kills all your shit around the map.
