The GG call doesn't actually serve as a "good game." It really has evolved sociologically to the point where "GG" is a polite concession of defeat, unless it's in response to the loser's initial "GG."

It's the loser's prerogative, so socially speaking a pre-emptive "GG" is rather bad-mannered, since it would likely connote as the victory conceding defeat for the loser. So a defensive GG (from the game's loser) is a concession, whereas an offensive GG (pre-emptive GG) serves as a victory taunt.

Short answer:
Yeah. Pre-emptive GG is BM.

This is going to sound strange. I have a friend who swears up and down that 'GG' is actually a negative statement that is usually said with clenched teeth/sarcasm.

There are definitely some times when a person has timed the GG just as I pull off some cheap move (dropping zerglings in a mineral line) rather than saying GG after the dust has settled.

I can't help but wonder if they aren't really saying it was a "Good" game.

i only do it when my opponent is like definitely dead and hes just like running making stuff to survive. But usually since they don't leave a bm comes after.

I don't think it is BM at all. However, I wont GG until the win is locked in, but usually the opponent will GG out sooner if they didn't cheese/all-in.

I would only pre-emptive gg if the guy did it to me earlier in the game.

premature gg is definatly either tied for no 1 or ranked no 2 on my starcraft bad manners list, i mean even if my opponent is being a dick and making me kill off every building he has i still won't premature gg thats just plain low and disrespectful!

DOWN with premature GGs!

well i think gg despite what it means is a bit bm if you (as the winner) say it before your opponent, also in team games i hate when my allys say gg because more often than not thers an extra base on the map and they end up getting crushed
