EPTYou need to be saying gg imo. It makes you look bitter if you don't... If I am talking to friends on mumble and my opponent does not gg we mock them for being angry at what is essentially just a practice game.

GL and HF depend on my mood and I don't do it if I'm about to do some all in, but GG is a way of admitting defeat. I know that in this game you won't lose if you don't make any mistakes, scouting, macro, or control mistake. So if someone beats me, it deserves GG even if it's 6pool. Also when I lose stupidly from some cheese I'm always mad just on myself because I know that all those things are in the game, they are part of the game, so if I didn't take that into account while playing then it's just me playing badly and lazy. | ||

Doesn't "no gg no skill" refer to that you have to lose so you can see what you need to improve? Not manners. Do you people care much if opponents GG's or not? Personally I don't care if he goes gg or plain quit. | ||

If I get cheesed, I wont GG unless it was a quality cheese. I guess I really do like to be mannered, but overall I just appreciate the play of my opponents a lot. If they beat me, 99% of the time its because they played better than me. So I think they deserve that little bit of gratification at the end. I've actually had a 2v2 partner and a couple 3v3 partners which I got when I complimented their intense play styles which kicked my ass. So just being a little nice earned me a lot of fun. | ||

Kind of weird that people will be nice and "GLHF" and even sometimes even try to engage in friendly banter but will just leave without the GG. Overall, I dont really mind if they "GLHF" or "GG" just thought it was funny that people are eagar to be nice at the beginning of games but dont always leave with good manners. | ||

unluckily gg has established itself as a thing you have to say to tap out. GG has no meaning anymore... its just something you type... so i just GG if i feel it was a GG. if not i just write "you win". | ||

But when I feel like it was just not a gg I either just go g (because it was a game afterall) or ng (for no game). Or i just tab out if I got 6 pooled or some shit like that. Just because I wish my opponnent luck and fun doesn't mean I have to call the game good when I leave, I never understood why just tabing out when the game is lost is bad mannered or not good mannered. I wish you luck and fun at the beginning in the hope that we'll play a good game together, if that does not happen there is no reason for me to gg, has nothing to do with manner imo. | ||

It's an idiomatic way of showing respect. | ||

Personally I actually prefer BM it's kindoff a receipt for superior play. Like I played so good the other guy couldn't stand how inferior he was and had to lash out =) The best BM is when you crush a higher rated player and he resorts to calling you a "your league"-noob it just levitates my boat... | ||

I have noticed no one lately seems to be "gl hf" at the beggining of the game and I've now stopped doing it myself unless my opponent does it. Us competitive types are touchy | ||

GG WP if i got my ass handed to me, or other player made a especially good game, unique or creative. If they Offensive GG me, I just leave. This has been my policy for years. | ||

For all the talk in here, the vast majority of the 'manner' players that say 'glhf' (I just reply 'u2') never 'gg' if they lose, or even worse will rage. There's plenty of 'manner' players that will offensive gg or gloat after the game is over also. | ||
