Instead of wasting time trying to convince them to leave, just get some air and kill their stuff. It takes like, 3-5 minutes max, since you can stop all other production.

Also, it astonishes me how many people reply without actually reading the, maybe a bit badly worded, OP. The OP is not obsessed about getting his enemies to say GG when they lost, he wants them to stop wasting everyones time and leave. Which, while maybe a good idea, is actually hard to achieve. Also, it is not that easy to realize when you have lost or won most of the time, especially in lower level games.

I think that there is many new players that don't know anything about g.g. You might think they are rage-quitting, but maybe they don't know that you say g.g.

I have found that quite alot recently especially during team games that some players just quite simply refuse to GG and leave, even after a quick push that feels like it shud be over it 10 mins you always get the terran who will ift off go to island and start trying to rebuild just dragging the game out longer.
Now i am finding alot of the time also that my team can be quite BM (bad mannered) towards the ones not leaving the game and this can sometimes tip them over the edge of lifting off every building into the corners of the map, making it take really long just to end the game, if a player is trying something new or thinks he actually stands half a chance fair enough, but what is the best appraoch towards these players who just dont know when to give up?

PLEASE leave constructive comments, the SC community on a whole is quite well mannered i wish for it to stay this way, for people who come across this problem to use what they read in this thread instead of ripping into them.


" the SC community on a whole is quite well mannered"

Wishful thinking, but I get ragequits more than I get gg's.

This trend has spanned over all leagues I've played in.


people who ragequit are usually new to the community.

poeple who played BW before are good mannered,its all the new guys I tell you.

You spam BM him, and draw out the game.

Then you spam BM him after, and block him.


He'll feel raged at losing AND getting BM while losing AND being blocked and unable to reply at all.

And that'll make you feel better too =)

I think the term 'gg' is overused. Personally, I only say gg after what I think was a 'good game'.
Whenever I get cheesed/allined or something like that, I just leave (you may also call it ragequit).
Whenever I lose a game where I felt I lost because my opponent played better, I say gg.

Please read the OP thoroughly before posting your opinion on whether you should say "gg" or not. This is not what the thread is about, holy cow...

My only advice is to try not taking it personally. I've rage quit before, who hasn't. I'm not mad at the other player, it's usually frustration I feel at the game itself. Like losing a game because someone dropped one tanks and 4 marines on your cliff on lost temple. Even though I had units to provide vision and kill it, it does so much damage that I can't survive the next series of pushes. Or when I scout a hellion drop, position stalkers around my mineral lines and still loose the game because, I loose so many workers in 1 or 2 volleys of hellion fire that the game becomes a no win situation. It's extremely frustrating. Or when I scout an early pool (at 7 or 8) and I have to make such a severe reaction to stop losses, that if my opponent just makes 6 lings and goes into a normal game after that he gets an expansion and a bunch of hydras and roach out way before I can get colossus. Most of the time I'll just gg and be on my way. But if I just got cheesed 3 games in a row, I'm usually not in a good mood and have no intention of calling the game good anymore. There are just some abusive and overpowered (IMO) cheesy strategies in this game that are infuriating. Mainly because even when scouted, the way that I can handle them, with the options available at that point in the game are counterproductive to a macro game. Often, there are situations where it seems like I have to blind counter a build or suffer a lot of damage, because it comes between the time when my scouting probe gets forced out and my obs couldn't possibly have been produced and crossed the map yet. For example, the stim marine with 1 emp rush, if I make too many sentries which is exactly what I need for an early mm rush, and they get 1 good emp off it does so much damage their next push will win. Or in many of these situations it just means my opponent can safely expo way before me and I loose in a long game. But there is no way to scout it. So, all I can say is don't take it personally, most of the time people are hating the game not the players.

i only gg when i lose 1v1. (fyi i don't go around hiding buildings etc, i just leave when it's lost)

i don't see the point of gg-ing in 2v2 or above because:

1. it's non competitive.
2. you sure 2v2 or above is a good game?
3. i really still don't see how is it bm.

The best approach is useually to start making air unts when it's obvious you have one. this way they cant hide.

It's generally a good strategy to make them GG
Only if you beleive.

You can try to ask them something to the effect of "do you really think you can still win?" and maybe they'll leave or explain themselves. Sometimes a little talk works wonders against rage and turns pissed-off "imba" claims into a discussion of strategy.

Otherwise, just kill 'em. It doesn't take that long. If they shittalk you and you don't want to hear it, block it.

Some people simply consider it equally BM to do nothing but one base all-in's or timing pushes just because it's teamgames and will gladly annoy you to no end when you use it against them.

I get annoyed like fuck when my team gets a quadruple 7 pooling team since there's simply no fun in it for either team. I play teamgames for the epic and huge battles, the ability to do weird strategies and odd unit compositions. Not so I can cheese my way to rank 1 diamond when there's no gain from doing so.

after you do some dmg, type gg yourself
comes across like you're a prick but i noticed they often quit after that
maybe they just don't really understand that they lost, and after they see you say gg they see the light.

I don't think you have a good way of doing that. It's a danger that comes with playing...

The only game i was really bm so far was when i was in a bad position after a banshee rush, and my oppenent said something along the lines of "gg, could you please leave". In my opinion that was very rude, i got pissed with him and as a consequence i dragged the game out as long as possible (without him saying so i would have gg'ed two minutes later, because of it it took an additional 10).
It is wise to keep in mind that neither success nor failure is ever final. --- Roger Babson

I don't get how leaving without a GG is bad mannered, sometimes it is not a good game because I made a huge mistake so i leave without saying "GG".
I honestly only say GG when it was actually a good game! and i don't get offended when people "offensive" GG me or leave without saying anything!.

Say " GG " for them. It usually makes them happy. Win 1 battle and then say gg.

Preemptive gg makes me lift off to a corner and waste his time. Say wp rather or something, because gg is like saying "just leave, you've lost", which should be my decision not yours.

About the subject itself, well just kill the buildings. There's no real solution to liftoff or someone fighting until he's sent out of the game. I mean it is obviously his right to try to win/draw through any means possible... Just make sure to scout all bases, since especially chatty people can be sneaky like that, distracting you while making a new base

Well if someone BMs me, like types GG when he's winning, then sure i'll lift up all my buildings, send them flying and just alt tab out.

The only thing you can do is not BM, just be nice, if even then they dont want to GG, then who cares?
