happened today in a FFA I did.. the guy lost his main base and waited for the last building to die then typed "has left the game".. Of course, I didnt get the victory screen so I knew it was fake, laughed at him then just flew my mutas all the way to the bottom corner (i had the rest of the maps expos scouted) and killed his CC. What a jerk =[

then u counter by also typing "has left the game"

if he falls for it, then u get that extra feeling awesome in addition to winning the game. While the other guy feels like an idiot for falling for his own trick

You're missing the point. If you type gg back to someone that ggs, and they leave the game too quickly, your "g" is a hotkey for Return to Game (for the score screen that comes up). Which takes you right back to the game. I have this happen to me frequently.

What this trick does is attempt to mimic this occurence so the winner will mistakenly leave.

Thanks for clearing this up. The commentator on the YouTube video does an awful job of explaining this point, which is pretty crucial to understand why someone could possibly fall for this.

After the message, has left the game shows, there is also one saying that you where defeated.

This is pretty bm but i remember it happening in beta as well.

haha just make sure all his units arnt moving are running from your attacks if you are suspicious. eg. a flying command center usually runs if being fired at, but if thw player has left then that shouldent happen.

but wait they can also use the hold command. maybe we shoild alert blizz about this, im suggesting summ like put those letters in blue or somthing

Makes me wonder what would happen if someone pulled this off in a tourney match or something important.

Kepsa rules specifically state that a GG is the end of the match, no matter what. And I imagine in any tournament the GG would be taken as surrender.

I'm pretty sure I said exactly this in my OP... and I'm 100% sure I explained the exact same thing in the video. People like you piss me off.

how people fall for this is beyond me. "xxx has left the game" is just a little bit different than a 400x800 box that says victory and everything else greyed out.

not to mention, you have to finish the rest of the surender, f10, then click on surrender. Dunno, just doesnt resemble my winning ceremony in the least.

I'm now considering my name to "[All] Kpyolysis:" just so that when I actually leave, people will be momentarily confused.
Man, do I not keep this up to date, or what?

TBH, I didn't read most of the OP, and I should have. But when you explained it in the video (and I did hear you throughout your explanation), I didn't understand you at all.

if anyone falls for this trick they deserve to just quit life and /wrist and then sell there SC2 on ebay or something.


like seriously guys, when someone leaves the game the score screen menu does pop out which lets u leave the game yourself without having to exit menu. if the victory screen did not pop up then he obviously did not leave the game.

If someone tried this on me it would work every time lol.. some guy just said GG once then I left the game since I am always in a rush to get to next game and most ppl leave right after typing gg..

Back when I was Terran, I had a guy pretty much beat with a MMM + Tank push.

He said "ahhhhh"...
"GG".

I said "GG. you played really well"

He said some more about Terran being so hard and Zerg being very difficult to play them with.

About a full minute after (I knew somethign was up by then) about 10 ultras came at me. I still won with Tanks/Marauders/Thors.

Textbook "fake GG" IMHO.

1... L2search... similar thread like a week or 2 ago about this...

2... when someone actually leaves, it doesnt have [ALL] in front of it.... pay attention cuz if you lose to that.... imo you deserve to lose
