But the debate is as old as Starcraft. To me, "glhf" and "gg" are like brackets to a game. Code breaks without correctly set brackets. | ||

In a game where people will go at great lengths to hide which build order they're preparing for you and will resort to the most underhanded strategies for a few ladder point more, god forbid they use a barcode to make things slightly harder to read for their opponent. | ||

I want my opponents to know I'm having so much fun that it doesn't matter what builds they throw at me. I also think being friendly right at the start will make players cheese you less. And if they don't glhf back, then 100% assume you are being cheesed lol. Nono it's when they just say "hf". Some interesting psychology there i'm sure. Probably something about feeling superior to your opponent so you don't have to dignify them with the full "gl hf" - or maybe being slightly ashamed? I don't know.. just think it's interesting. Re the barcode thing.. even as a shit player i can understand wanting to play behind a barcode. I wouldn't want a game i played on a bad day to be immortalised on some youtube channel where the streamer's only job is to play starcraft and make jokes about other players. I also think the gl hf and gg are mostly done for the person typing them and not the opponent. Like maybe the opponent is an asshole but why should you sink to that level? | ||

Anyway, thanks to playing random and having to learn 6 matchups, also if you say hi, what race do you play - i answer it... what's wrong with randoms? Sure, my Terran brings my diamond ass very down so I don't have issues with winning with other races, but still... sorry i meant good manner by gm lol | ||

Somehow it feels like a small moral victory that I didn't let him tilt me. I know their goal is to make me rage-quit or BM them in return and I don't want to give them this satisfaction. | ||

People who ask me my race (when random) always pissed me off more than any barcode name ever could. I never lie to them, but I'm definitely not able to tell them to come scout me 100% of the time... I must not cheese enough. | ||

I used to say glhf but tbh it's not needed for me, I prefer to just play in silence. I'll usually respond with a 'tyu2' if I get a 'glhf' purely just out of civility. If I clearly see that they're a noob (I'm a low level bw player so sometimes get big mismatches) then I'll usually try talk a little with them and forward them onto some valuable resources to help them learn. | ||

I guess it's kinda an old school 90s gamer mentality, since I don't see this very much shared with people that started gaming in the 2000s. | ||
