GG I was the Zapdos
GG, I was the baltoy in the left bottom corner
GG, I was the Regileleki that you _tried_ to solo at 2:50
Dang it, all I got to be was the first bunnelby on the bottom lane :,(. GG anyway, guys.
GG, i was midlane
GG I was the Rayquaza (before the increased effects) 👀
seeing “ez” from enemy after losing to them is the real toxic gesture
There's instead of GGWP they go GGEZ, a conservative bm?
@@galaxray8700 wut game do people use pp 😆 ? Does it translate like Good game dickheads
It's not "toxic". Just because your feelings got hurt, it doesn't mean it's fucking "toxic". Some of you people are just sensitive to words. Bwahahah.
pretty sure people who say stuff like that don't win that often, so when the rare opportunity arrives they have to gloat while they can.
@@idunnowhatimdoin yeh or it's always a struggle to win games that occasion like a one-sided game is very elating they have to let everyone know...
It's a bummer how a few bad apples can ruin a whole barrel of GG's. I played Indie once and we stomped them pretty bad and I went into his stream and said something like "hey GG I was the Snorlax" but just because I was excited to have played against him, and maybe kind of hoping he would say "Hey you played good" or something like that, not thinking that people do that to be jerks. I see how annoying it is when people in the live chat tell you what you should have done in their opinion, like "hey use your Unite" or "you blocked the wrong way" or some bs.
Jake! : my 1-year-old copied your mwaaah at the end of one of your videos the other day! It was the cutest thing ever.
Haha that’s so cool
GG is for Good Grief, the exclamation that everyone say when the teammates go to score and die at 2 seconds before Rayquaza
Yare yare daze
You're wrong. I was that guy and I swear everyone was commending me for playing like a God Gamer
This
GG in gaming is for good game. If you think GG is good grief in gaming you need to stop gaming lol
to the people who are taking this seriously and not as joke: GG
I had an opposite experience where I went into a big stream after we lost a game just to hear the streamer completely put me on blast for no real reason before I had said anything in the chat. I think streamers especially with a big platform should think about what they say about teammates because it can be very hurtful especially when someone is trying their best to be a team player.
THIS!!! Spragels is more the exception than the rule. I follow several top players and very often they just mock people who are clearly struggling, and keep going after the match is over. I don't get it. Like, you won! Why you mad??
Agreed, I saw Toon and Krashy doing this over and over again that I had to stop watching them.
lmao, i hopped into a stream to see what was going on from the streamers pov, and for some reason, people in the chat apparently recognized me, and started talking about how bad i was at the game, I had no idea I apparently had a reputation when i dont really play regularly, and the streamer kind of went with it, saying that it doesnt matter if x pokemon is doing bad, that the streamer had to take them out during ray fight so they dont rip ray, etc. The streamer lost the game due to a couple of bad plays, trying to go in on the enemy team with no support, and lost (getting KOd in ray pit twice without getting a KO is a massive throw, since the game revolves around whoever gets ray most of the time).
Even still, they did not take any accountability for their mistakes and the chat didnt back peddle on their take either. It seems they dont really compliment players they see in their games or criticize.
I've played with/against a certain streamer a few times and each time I check it out in their stream afterward. I never left a comment, tho. He is ALWAYS grumbling about the other players (teammates and adversaries), and saying stuff like "I'm so much better, I don't know why these people are even allowed to queue with me". I don't really get it. Never has anything nice or encouraging to say. This is why I appreciate Jake and Inder's content so much. They can turn a rough game into a good time even.
@@warmbowski i also like these Jake and Inder because of this reason.
They are mostly never angry and even create fun out of frustrating scenarios.
Can't overstate how I enjoy how positive you/your content is. It's honestly why I keep coming back. Much love.
love to hear it
GG, you've now convinced a subset of the community to throw against you so they can get on your good side by GG'ing after, boosting your WR
😂😂 perfect
it was all a scam! GG
Jake, you almost always play well. You're a genius. Gg
Yeehaw
i always appreciate jake never being tilted or toxic in even the most stressful games. luv ya cowboy
Gg can mean 3 things: Good game, Good grief, and Get good. It’s clear which one they meant.
Get Good lol! I was the absol. Utter piece of trash, Imagine missing your skills when the target is standing right there doing nothing and also losing to 1 v 5 literally all my teammates are afk plus my ping is 6969696696969696969669 ms meaning I was lagging so hard that I had to predict where y'all are going and come on couldn't even take the Rayquaza against 1 person? Like that bad?
For "get good" everybody uses "git gud". I've never seen good grief before
what about GIDDYUP GENGAR!! And GUAC GUMBO
Gg only refers to the first lol. Get good is git gud and good grief isnt a thing
Why good grief remind me of Charlie brown lol
The other way happens too: when a streamer roast some player in a game and the player is actually a fan on chat. Almost always not with bad intentions, just humans relations.
One thing I notice is that you care about it, you are always very kind saying things like "I don't thing that was the right decision" when you say a bad player. It's cool.
Very interesting video, and thanks for speaking on the topic!
Ironically, I am one of those who will show up in a stream after a game to say gg and drop a like if a run into a steamer I’ve watch before and like. I do it win or lose. Honestly my favorite part is rewinding after and watching the game back to see how the game unfolded from a different perspective and potentially get some insight in some good/bad plays I may have made.
Up until recently I’ve always looked at the “gg” as a way to show support and say I appreciate what you do and I’ve learned a lot from you. I 100% recognized the point you make regarding how a streamer may feel about the gg after a loss. I now still “like” the stream but only post in the chat when the streamers is on the winning side (as a teammate or opponent)
I GG even when I lose but not when I get stomped and when my entire team made my game annoying. I GG anyone who GGs me.
I think GG is a way of letting someone know they didn't play horrible, people displaying sportsmanship even with AFK' s in their team and not leaving the game in between deserve a GG if they are in your team or in the opposite 🙂
One thing you have to remember is that most of the people who know who you are(especially the ones who would reach out to you after a match) view you as being really good at the game. There's a decent chance you've taught them how to play in various ways and they're simply extremely excited to have matched against you and won. It's like the student beating the master. Very rarely is intended as disrespect. This applies not just to spragels specifically but to all content creators for any given game.
I agree
I once lost a tied game to a streamer. I couldn’t wait to go into their chat to tell them GG because it was a great game. They were so surprised and happy when I stopped by.
For me, gg is just genuinely what I mean. If I think it was a good game, I'll say gg. Like, I play Overwatch, and I'll still gg after a loss if it was still a genuinely good game. If Unite had a chat function, I would be doing the same thing. If I pop into a streamer's chat, I'm not denying it's partially to have some connection with the streamer, but it's mostly as a show of respect, whether win or lose. Hell, I've said gg in spragels' chat once after losing to him in a viewer Unite match
I watch CrisHeroes and Spragels streams quite often and I never understood how the etiquette about GG's , this video was very clear what's GG about. Thanks!
GG just means good game. That's it.
Yeah, take this with a huge grain of salt. This is spragels personal take. Hell, GG was around long before Starcraft.
Imagine thinking being polite is rude.
@@miss1ngl1nk I understand the sentiment of thinking that GG would just generally be a polite thing but it really depends on the heart behind it. But on streams where you have no clue how the commenter is saying it, especially after a loss when you are a tad salty I don't blame people who get just a little bit annoyed. Honestly on different games I have a different outlook on this but for twitch livestreams in general (which is mostly what this video is about) I think it's fine if the person who would come and say GG would do that for either a win or loss. I don't really like people who can celebrate a win without acknowledging a loss.
Best reaction to a GG is to just be positive whether you won or lost imo, if the intention of the person was to belittle you then they will probably just get mad themselves because they were trying to make you mad to begin with 😄🤣
Would you consider making a best pairs list?
I love your tier lists, but just discovered the Puff Spore Eldegoss and Giga Dance Venusaur combo and feel like it might be the best!
I know this will leave most speedsters and center heavy pokemon out of some of the equation, but near any mon shines in center.
What rocks together harder than Venugoss?
Man now I feel bad…I gg’s you one time after winning against you and I did it only because I was really excited to play with you. I can remember the match pretty vividly, you were Absol and you were doing very well. I don’t think we’ve played since, but win or lose I’d be happy to play with you again! Love your content, can’t wait to see more!
Just subbed on twitch, gonna gg you every stream now
saw your take on twitter a few days ago, and it’s nice to see a direct explanation on it
Im pretty sure I reached out to Chris when I lost (cause I was just excited to play against him either way) and he just ignored me 🤣. I also played a game together with him once and we stomped hard, that was a lot of fun. I feel like unite and mobas in general just promote let's say... Bad emotions so I get that but sometimes streamers are very in their feelings just imo. Chat is chat and while there's respect they should give the streamer I also feel like the streamer could maybe just appreciate their audience and assume good intentions. I know, easy for me to say since I'm no streamer, it's just imo.
To be fair, cris doesn’t respond a whole lot to anything. He’s just on to the next game.
2 days ago me and my boyfriend were featuring a game against Cris as well, the other three players in our team were solo. We literally destroyed him, he was using Zeraora (34k damage, 0 score) and we had a really, really cool Buzzwole in our team; this person went to his stream after the game, politely apologizing for having targeted him and he went all crazy saying in addiction he was about to ban them since they had a username he never saw in his chat… and the chat mocked them as well, even accusing him of sniping the game, probably finding CrisHeroes’ approval or something like that.
That, in my opinion, is a disgusting behavior these streamers should stop having. If an opponent comes over you apologizing for having targeted you it’s because they know you, your potential and how strong you are; keeping away from the fight the strongest component of a team is a functional strategy in every sport and honestly I’d feel honored to be considered like that from other players.
I was happy at first ‘cause I saw Cris complimenting us for how good we were playing despite the fact we were not a 5 stack, but then our Buzzwole showed up and everything exploded x’D… someone in the chat even pointed out me and my boyfriend were on a lose streak before winning against him, i don’t even know why… but this is probably okay for Cris, lol.
Very, very disappointing behavior.
I’m so glad you said this cuz if I ever got into a game with you I would pop by your stream and say ggs regardless of the outcome, but I’m also a UA-cam frog, I very rarely watch the streams and now I can see how that would seem annoying to reas
I just love your attitude. It's so amazing. Just fun to watch your matches
You’re the only Unite player I subscribe to. If I ever match up against you, win or lose, you’re getting a GG!
Haha I made a gg comment on one of your videos where I played you I think it was one of your first road to masters series. But my team unfortunately lost on the zapdos at the end 😭
Not going lie it’s a great topic I’ve played against you and on your team on masters sometimes and you do great I watch plenty of your videos and there great! Just never said anything in your chats so here’s a big GGs for all the games 😁 I’ll be rooting for ya 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
I’m glad you brought this up as I’ve seen it come up in streams of yours (and others) and I have to disagree for the most part. While I agree that there are bad-faith ways to use GG I think that GG does not mean anything more than what it stands for - that they enjoyed the game. If you (as the recipient of the gg) did not enjoy the game, or felt that they did not deserve the win, etc. That is on you as the player and not on the opponent for simply saying GG. I do understand that as a streamer it can feel like there is a target on your back and it’s upsetting if people only come to say hi after a win but this is because you probably taught them the game. They have a win (however small it may be) over a teacher of theirs and this is exciting. Again, my take is that GG (in most applications) simply means Good Game whether they’re a first time chatter (which I would be) or not. I hope this makes sense to folks and thanks to Jake for making such God Tier (the only god werenotfrigginnorsearoundhere) content and bringing up this topic.
i do actually remember playing against you in full fury as greedent
i won, and i went into stream and said that i played against you, i can’t remember what i said but i just thought it was cool that me and my friend played with you. tbh, even if i lost, i probably still would have gone on stream because playing with one of the youtubers im subscribed to is pretty awesome. 👍
Battled against a favorite content creator or mine in Pokémon Go Battle League…was so excited I unintentionally played like an idiot and got smacked…HAD to reach out to him and send GG
I’ve definitely gged when I lose but mostly cuz I lose a lot 😂 (specifically when against content creators)
The few times we got to play together (which I did lose). I didn't catch your stream, but I did comment on a video. Win or loss, it is always nice to play with a big name in the community.
I got matched with you in Solo Q like a week ago, and I got super excited cuz it happened that I was gonna be going top lane with you playing Blissey, and I nervous panic picked Azu and did meh, but it was definitely the highlight of my week lol
I like how positive you always are, so I'll give you a gg. I've only ever been matched against you and only 1 time. I was invited to a 5 stack and you and ghatlue were on the enemy team. I didn't recognize the 3 others but we got stomped bad. You were on dodrio and ghatlue was greedent
I feel like we’ve been waiting on this video for months! lol
I would much more frequently come into a streamers chat if I was on the same team as them (and secondarily when they beat me) with the hope of getting some feedback on what they thought of my play. I play 100% solo queue so it’s the only kind of commentary I get on my decision making (and definitely don’t after beating them without specific intention)
GV and you are right about hopping in chat on a win, saw I was against a ttv player that was live. Their team ran mine up and down the board until I secured ray 1v4 and we won. I was in the chat before the surrender was finished. I added a bit more colorful language to my gg though. I did stay to chat a bit and try and make it in good fun though.
I think it becomes bad because they don't mean to say "good game" when they say GG after they beat the streamer, but they mean "git gud"
Any time I fight a streamer I know, I pop in for the GG, win or lose.
If I won, I try to play up how much better my team or comp was to theirs.
There's just something so human about going "hey - I know them!"
I used to only hear GG used in local gamer groups and I thought it was meant to be a swear word from my country because even though it's just two letters together it sounds so close to that swear word in the same way someone can say "F this" and know what that means.
GG is just a way to show good sportsmanship but can be used in a toxic way. So I will agree that hunting down a streamer to say it after you beat them is not good but GG in and of itself is not bad, it's the same as shaking hands at the end of a game in other sports. If you want to say GG in Pokemon Unite then that's what the "Good Job" on the ending screen is for.
Not gonna lie. I only ever use the "Good Job!" end of game results on the entire enemy team when I beat them just to bm and never when I lose, yeah I'm petty but it's funny.
Haha spragels we do actually met before in your charity stream. Unlucky for you to play in APAC server. Anyway my thoughts about this, I don't care if win or lose, if ever met someone who I respect on the community (like you) I'll hop in and say hi. I more excited to play in a game with you whether you are opponent or ally. So yeah, I will say GG as well but maybe like you said if it is a stomp, maybe hi will suffice.
I think it is being used to tell the other person "not only you clearly don't suck, but you even made me sweat, good game!"
That history lesson on gg was really cool. I know nothing about StarCraft and didn't know that the loser is meant to gg first
DAzed and confused good game scene popped into my mind lol
I had this one expierence, where I lost to an insane talon, said gg's in their chat, and then they just started being toxic, kinda made me stop wanting to say hi to streamers playing unite, very tragic.
Man I've been on a couple of streams where the streamer definitely got their panties in a bunch when someone who just beat them came on to their stream and said GGs.
The worst part is that their chat just becomes UBER toxic, making fun and just straight out bullying that person. And the sad thing is the person, may not even realize what they did was wrong. So just for that I'm glad this video got made.
I've never done this but I never understood why this was always such a big deal (until now). Before Unite I used to play alot of Pokemon Showdown, and GG was always just something win or lose that you did as a sign of respect. So I get how it would be different in this context.
Interesting video. Honestly watching this, the term "gg" has taken a more toxic turn ever since streaming became a big thing, especially for well known streamers, because with that publicity, & people around the community knowing your name, whether it's Spragels, Krashy, or CrisHeroes, etc-
It's easy for anyone to come & go through streams.
There's a lot of bitter people in the gaming community.
But there's also equal to, if not more, genuine people.
I'm glad this video was made though, it's a good one Spragels. 👍
Being a top tier introvert it is not unusual for me to watch someone for so long without chatting, doesn't necessarily mean I am less of a fan than others. I actually created a twitch account to gg Sierra after beating her in VGC, it was super exciting for me to play against her, and she was all happy and chillin'. I gg'd after wins and loses in VGC with no issues, I think it feels good to have any communication with your opponent and I took the chance. Same with Unite, Agentavocado beat me many times and I beat him less often, gg'd in both cases, gg'd allies and opponents winning and losing. Your take is nice; you might be annoyed but do not judge individuals on general intuitive views. Now I play against a top unite player and I get destroyed super hard, and I am prepared to gg after a lose. He makes a mistake and overextends before final stretch, dies and loses Zapdos, then almost makes the comeback with a final push. I did block goals and expected to lose, but barely won. Why should I be blocked and called a cu** on stream for gg'ing and saying it was crazy? And no, I didn't lol nor disrespect him, but he is such a bad person.
That ssbb match was one of the funniest matches in brawl the two snake mains were #1 and 2
Spragels is like: " if im beat you..... come and rub my belly " ^^
Ohhh will you do more content like this, it's very interesting
I am one of those that whether I win or lose I give the Good Job in Pokémon Unite, unless like you said it was a stump because it might get missinterpreted even tho we all have bad games and at least they gave it their best. Idk it's good sportship, feels nice that even if you lose you recognize the mistakes you make and how you can do better in other games.
I say BG (Bad Games) 🗿
How would you feel if someone that stomped you came in to apologize for being a bully in a match 🤔 some days I legit feel bad if I'm on fire in a match and it feels like the same opponent is on the recieving end
GGs! I was the Magnemite recording on the edge of the map!
I did not expect to see a famous Project M set in the examples, a new respect for you Jake.
Wait I wanna see that Trevenant gameplay! I see those wins 😊
I feel like there's more than just the one "good game" meaning behind saying GG. A lot of the times you get it after losing, (depending on the game) it's meant to tell you to Get Good.
No. No its not. GG means good game
Win or loss GG is meant to be sportsmanship based. Anybody thinking it'd for Get Good definitely doesn't game or is toxic
I'm sorry, you're right Bluejay, I forget you're the official record keeper of the origin of the term GG and how it's been used historically.
I absolutely love playing unite I never get angry with it even if my team is bad I know that we try our best but this video is very helpful on the topic also I give everyone a good game cause we all did our best
If I had a genuine good time in a match I’ll give the opponents a gg win or lose. But I won’t give a gg to my team if we are super uncoordinated in the beginning where we have like 3 people in Jungle or 2 up top and 3 on bottom or something dumb like that. It’s not bad feeling, half the time I do the thumbs up just to help people grind the achievement, but I do think it’ll help the community in the long run with the thumbs up/gg
If anything, it’s the games where I’m on the same team as the streamer and we lose that makes me a bit reluctant to want to pop in and say GG, cuz now I feel bad and that maybe I let the team down even if I had played well. Lol
Although I’d probably still pop in, cuz regardless its cool that we got to play together. And if I did do anything bad, maybe the streamer would mention it and I could learn from it.
GGs! nice video
gg!
one time I played against you and Jeff Hoogland where you were a cramorant and Jeff was a slowbro. We lost, partially bc I didn't know how to play blissey at the time. Anyways gg
I just played a game against kukiedough last night and got decimated. I tried finding a way of telling her GG but she wasn't streaming as far as I could tell 😓
It’s just a saying, no need for anyone to get butt hurt. You explained it well Spragels
That's interesting, where I learned it (most online games, but especially League back in the day), both teams just said it at the end (if anyone at all). There didn't seem to be any unspoken rule that it was initiated by the loser, and I don't think anyone got offended if the winner initiated it (or at least, any more offended than salty League players normally get lol).
I think a lot of younger players don't have the OG context of the StarCraft origins. Maybe it's different when they have to specifically go to your stream to GG you, but if it's in in-game-chat, I doubt too many people are trying to BM when the winner GGs.
So if you beat someone you can't tell them GG because?.. of their feelings?
The other day i was casually playing the Game and i played against, not one, not two, but against 3 different youtubers/streamers in like 6 games, including Inder in the pack, and after i Lost to him i reached out to his Stream and said ggs, so i hoped he didnt felt bad 😔
I’ve done this before.. I just get excited when I see a streamer I recognize and see that they’re steaming after the game 😂😅
I picked up GG from my League of Legends days way back when, and I've only recently started getting back into the moba scene with unite. I don't GG, mostly because unite games either seem to be a roflstomp one way or the other, you either win amazingly or loose horrifically and a GG seems mostly in bad taste.
Jake, do a special vid on who you really are, like what ya up to before PU, im sure the community loves you cause you’re the face of PU!
And we will make this channel continue to grow!
How would you recommend people show respect or manners if they want to convey the excitement of playing with/ against the streamer even if they won?
What manners could be used to be respectful yet still show their excitement?
You need a gg stack counter!
"That's a GG!"
something i notice a ton viewing streams but you didnt touch on is the amount of stream sniping into gg’s. like sure, you singled the streamer out and correctly identified all their bushes the entire game, opened up twitch, found their stream, and had time to say gg before the score is even tallied… no bro lol you were watching the stream the entire time 🙄 its not gg if you cheat!
I played against you for the first time last week and watched it back after, and you had a not so great Venusaur and Cinderace, and I thought....ehhhh he probably doesn't wanna relive this game, I'll not bring it up! I do think some obvious etiquette gets breached sometimes when people come into chats to say gg after they've beaten you.
I totally agree with the original and most of times GG intention. It is like The Hat Tip, out of recognition, respect or gratitude. To bad is sometimes used with other intentions. The same with Thank you inside the game. It is very annoying when a teammate repeatedly sends Thank you messages after going against the whole enemy team trying to get the objectives and then losing. Most of the times those quit or just exit staying at the base.
Good video Jake ! gg!
Glad you enjoyed it
Oh lord 7:00 is super annoying to even READ in the comments let alone if it's happening to you. I know for me, coming from regular sports, GG after is just recognizing that the match was well played and good sportsmanship. I know that my squad, even in our own personal chat on discord (voice or typed) 'GG' at the end is so common in every match win or lose even when we only see it - especially important when we lost just to let everyone know we still appreciate the effort and we tried. I know if I ever get the chance to play with or against you in a match I'd be super happy either way! You, Teeds, Chrisheroes, and others essentially have taught me how to play these past few months so getting to play with any of you is a treat to show what I've learned. You'll see RocketVet saying 'Thanks for the match!' if that ever happens. I don't play a lot of ranked (I'm only Ultra rank) so unlikely but I can only hope. I run into some top players in quick matches and standard sometimes too though so hey, it could happen.
one time i lost to a streamer, went to their livestream to give a GG and inmediatly got accused of stream snipping :')
another time was wholesome, the streamer who beat my team was happy to see my team joining and one guy gifted me a subscription to her livestream so that was good
Because I’ve not played against a streamer (not that I know of) I’ve not had to deal with the gg and question of it was genuine or sarcastic/show boating. The one thing that gets me is if I have a bad match and I knew I played terribly ( be it just me or the entire team) and I get a thumbs up from someone who ko’d me a lot- I often think they’re just trying to rub it in
I understand it being toxic if the player that's winning says gg before the game has even finished - i've had that a lot in pokemon showdown - but if it's after the game is done then I see that as a good thing personally.
GG is for Gaming Gladiators.
Lol 😂
I've been playing games forever and people have always said gg even when they win. I said gg to CrisHeroes in a recent match we were on a team!
It's interesting coming from 1v1 games where saying gg is often the standard, win or lose
I found a live ttv and I was a slowbro so haha unite moved them whenever I could
A match where both teams are close in skill and everyone is doing their best to win and work as a team is GG.
A game where there is a gross difference in skill and one team completely dominates the other is not a GG that’s a slaughter lmao.
I think most people who GG have good intentions and say it to have good sportsmanship but I do understand the frustration too. The latter example is not a fun experience and sometimes even winning with a bad team is stressful. Like yeah you won but you didn’t have fun doing it.
I knew you were going to make this into a video it’s Happens a lot in your chat
Your dive into the history of gg could have looked at it's use on Smogon. The fast pace of Pokémon matches there with highly accessible chat uses alot of gg. And plenty of premature gg.
So now if u wanna be hero
1st you have to pick red team.
2nd you have to go to a streamer when u LOSE
the bar is pretty high up lol
I've never thought gg could start such a argument...😅
Hahaha haha lol idk I think this is two sides of the same coin here it no one likes losing everyone likes winning. But you have a point seeing as the whole point of gg is putting your feelings aside whether it's feeling of joy from winning or feelings of sorrow from losing and just saying good job let's do this again.
I don't entirely agree that it's for the losing player to initiate it. Typically that is the way it works out, but I would argue that it's because the losing player is typically the one that determines *when* the game ends. In a game of StarCraft, the game can be clearly favouring one team, but the game isn't over until the losing player concedes. To initiate it as the winning player is to presume that your opponent will give up, and *that's* why it would be in poor taste. In games without that ambiguity it's pretty normal for the winning player to initiate. I've got a lot of background in irl sports, such as football. When the siren goes, the game is over, an it's common for everyone to just find the nearest opponent and shake their hand, regardless of who won. I'd argue that the comment section of a UA-cam channel or Twitch stream, the game has clearly finished, so I think it falls more into that bracket.
That said, it's not surprising that someone who lost is going to be less likely to come out of anonymous lurking and draw attention to that fact.
GG, you did well the last 8000 Matches!
7:42 I really didn't think so.. but I was convinced 🙄
Lol, this videos very interesting timing... just beat him in a mirror mamo match. I feel attacked.
GGWP. my team was so horrible i can't believe we still won. :3
Haha
A good thing to get on streamers good side is to donate them😂
