The only chat I hate is when people say "u2" so I never say "glhf" first. Don't really have any other pet peeves tbh.

I always do that not even thinking about it... but I guess it could be taken as I don't have time to give you the same respect as you did to me.

Gonna type it from now on.

I start every game with a gl hf/gg hf. And even if the other guy does not respond I will gg out when I lose. I think gg'ing out in that situation makes the other person face what of an immature player he is. Not gg'ing would likely give him satisfaction to be not alone with his inside anger. And hosestly these are not sardistic gg's by me. I have learned to not get mad over losses.

If I meet someone in ladder I know who doesn't gl hf, I will happily gl hf him in the beginning, and if I win /dance or preliminary gg him out.

In my opinion not responding to a gl hf shows that you already are mad inside and that you are not a true sportsman. People not gl hf'ing regularly will never be the core of this game. To play this game over years requires some kind of sportsmanship. These semi-bm fellows will just move on to other games eventually. It's a sign of bad attitude if you can't get yourself to respect the opponent you are playing. By not responding to an easy gl hf you just show that you are mad and are not in control of your own negative feelings, which shows you have a weak personality, too.

In 5-10 years the core of old school players will be majoritarian well mannered players, any bm player will have lost motivation and the race against himself, eventually beaten by his own attitude.

TLDR; This game can't be handled mentally by everyone who wants to play it. This is clearly shown in a lot of ladder games. People who can not handle it will quit sc2 eventually. As time moves further on, sc2 will have a more mannered community.

I don't encounter much BM anymore on EU. The most annoying BM is when people start SHOUTING AT YOU LIKE THIS after a game, complaining that my race is overpowered and that x unit is stupid, usually paired with a lack of grammar and/or punctuation. If only they played as fast as they talked crap they might enjoy the game more

I get really mad while playing, so what i have started doing is, saying GG WP, when i think the win is really deserved, and just GG when i want to rage quit.

This means that GG for me is BM and GGWP is manner. For other people though, my GG appears as manner even though i am really mad.

Pros say "gg!" or "wp!" when they're frustrated but it's a tournament so they have to be nice. Just something I've seen over time.

It can be anything with an exclamation mark though, Stephano uses "gratz!"

Due to just how much BM there is on the ladder, remarks like that feel sarcastic. At least to me.

As someone who gets really angry at myself when I lose, I say gg'ing helps. It's like telling yourself '"it was a good game, my opponent played well, it's not the game, I can play better in the future and beat him." May sound stupid, but it helps me refocus. When I don't gg, not only am I angry at myself, but I feel bad about bming like 20 seconds later.
