Saying GG

[Footman16]

After every match or when I'm about to lose I always say 'gg wp' even if the game wasn't particularly good or I played terribly but I think it's the sentiment. So does anyone have any thoughts about why not everyone says this? Or am I the only one who keeps it as a tradition?

Yepp, everyone round. Except when my teammates rushes void rays.

why say gg i call my opponent what they are noobs because they only beat me from noob tactics most likely

"Most Likely," that doesn't seem like a very healthy attitude towards games or to be being beat. Isn't it better to seem like the better person and just accept defeat?

sorry but you are bad player if you get beaten, no matter how nooby tactic it is, if you are good enough you will defend yourself from anything

I say "GG" (Good Game) when the game really is a Good Game.

I always say gg, except if the other player BM'ed. It's a matter of respect. GG is kind of the "good morning!" of RTS games.

However, never say GG pre-mature. That's just bad manner.

gg is not more tha "good game". I use it if i win or lose. It's a kind of respect to say "Your opponent made a good job and defeated you".

That's not the point. In case of a pre-mature GG, the victor says GG when he assumes he has won (and before the defeated player says GG), usually to troll his opponent and provoke him to leave the game. In such cases, the self-declared victor sometimes loses.

Ever watched LifeIsAGlitch-TV on youtube? There's some pretty awesome cases of premature GG there.

on melee maps pros always say gg, but if they suffered lag they state so

lag/spikes/delay
