EPTBut recently I've realized that I feel a lot better after a game if I just "gg" at the end. It feels a lot better than rage quitting too. Then I'll either ask for advice, if I'm in a good mood, or open up a private channel and vent all to myself about how shitty I played.

What prevents a zerg from taking 3 hatches before your 4 hellions, getting 3 roaches and then drone to 80? If no more than 4 hellions is your 'pressure' then you can take 3 hatches with no competetion. It's not like a normal game opening but it dosn't have to be if the zerg knows that you're ONLY doing light pressure. The two hellions stop them...... This post should just stop right here but: As Tastosis said, hellion openings are the rice and kimchi of TvZ openings. Reaper expand TvT, Hellion Expand TvZ, 3base speedling vs FFE ZvP, +1 zealot timing after FFE PvZ... off the top of my head, all these builds would like a word with you. Whether the units themselves do the damage, or the presence of the units, they have an effect that develop into a later game. Forgive me if i'm innacurate about the PvZ opening, I'm a high master zerg and terran. | ||

Also, I don't see the point in congratulating anyone for an undeserved win. The fact that someone won, doesn't make him the player who played better necessarily. In fact with cheesers, it's rarely them being 'a better player' that leads them to winning. And last, I wish everyone shuts up about Sheth being 'mannered' and all. He's so sarcastic a lot of the time when he appears to be mannerly talking. The ladder is a stupid breeding ground of baddies who want free wins and 5 minute games, and would rather see you rage(quit) than say a 'gg' themselves. So fuck ladder and fuck them all. | ||

It seems to be a common misconception that saying 'gg' is a compliment and therefore requires good play to earn. Its not - it comes from the sports field where players shake hands after a match, and both the winner and the loser say 'good game'. Its a mark of appreciation for the time spent and the sport, rather than a congratulations. To me, its totally applicable to SC2 - you're playing a 1 on 1 game against someone for twenty minutes, and you want to just wander off and stop playing without even saying a word? And yeah, I generally GG to cheese too, just because it probably gives them more pleasure to see me rage quit. | ||

You're talking as if this is something new, and not something that developed over the past 12 years of competitive gaming. "gg" isn't about it actually being a good game. It's about playing the game. But this discussion is almost useless to have, since there are people who go, "Wasn't a gg, so i called him a faggot" and have a mentality that i find to be particularly detrimental to the scene as a whole. | ||

Totally agree with what you are saying. The fact any of us play the game is because we enjoy it, and in order to keep enjoying it then we need people to play against. If BMing someone after a game contributes to one person giving up/playing less then we are ultimately just shooting ourselves in the foot | ||

From that point on, you are relying on an opponents mistake to let you back into the game. If your "strong timing" fails to do sufficient damage, you have essentially just lost the game. This critique on "allins" can be extended to any other form of play that isn't no-rush 20 minutes. It's ridiculous, the point of the game is to win, if you lose to your opponents play, you played wrong. No, that doesn't imply he's a better all-around player, and no, you don't have to be mannered to him, but you are playing wrong. | ||

He lost a game and is mad, he is perfectly happy if the person who beat him never plays again. | ||

I'm not quite sure why so many people think its okay to call someone profanities just because the game didn't go well. I see bm with things like "I'm going to kill your entire family" and think, geeze what's wrong with your brain lol... Probably just 15 year olds ala xbox live who think its cool to do the same things over SC2.... pathetic. | ||

Of course you're right, but I meant on a universal level - ie if we all did that then we'd have far fewer players and everyone would just be rude in each game (which sadly isn't far from the truth right now...) | ||

Also it makes you enjoy the game and others instead of raging all of the time | ||

Even if I'm really frustrated and I hope that my previous opponent dies in a boiling pit of fire for their gateway timing, this will usually calm me down. Being nice to other people makes it harder to be mad at yourself and the game. | ||

"man I played like shit, if I hadn't you would have been crushed" Well yes, thats true, but then the same is true for me too - we all make mistakes, and I probably made plenty on the way to beating you, but thats why we're not in GM. or the utterly illogical "man you are fucking shit" (when they win or lose) Yes, I am rubbish, but my MMR is the same as yours - thats why we're matched, so you must be equally bad right? | ||
