Some console players don't even know gg means. I say gg no matter what. I miss the old days where even counterstrike players would gg at the end of the match.

Manner up!

i just typed random bs to try to sound non-english and he full was apologising. i lold.

'He full was apologising' sounds non-english.

Similar to some above, I GG when the game was satisfying, be it a good opponent and we played a good game (if he raped me I'd probably just quit) or it was just a good fun game that was well fought.
Of course, occasionally when I'm on the losing side in these cases I may just leave out of frustration. E.g. 2 base Terran lasting forever.

i hate when people say that its probably been said before in this thread but its like shaking hands at the end of a soccer match, u dont want to do it neccaserily but u really should and it doesnt hurt to type 2 letters before u leave a game.
and also 2 port banshee...
and 2 base carrier

Almost every loss I'm either frustrated with myself or the 'imba' strategy my opponent used. I rarely gg but in hindsight I probably should more, losses just make me angry haha.

Should always have etiquette when gaming even if its the worst game ever, also you build self-respect in doing so.

Shaking hands and gg are completely different.

And why is that, in the context of Starcraft?

I always saw it as one in the same.

When teaching my friends to play, I always taught em to "gl hf" or something similar at the start to do the "e-handshake". It's just sportsman like.

I always thought of gg as a way of admitting defeat, cheese or no. So I just gg at the end of every game I lose.
