ggez

a phrase used as a taunt at the end of a match in compet-tive online gaming. it is a contraction of gg and ez.

there are several ways of using this phrase:
– honestly (but considered bm), at the end of a steamroll.
– ironically, by the winner. when both teams were equally matched and the final scores are close to one another. one could argue that there was an actual gg, in which both sides had an equal opportunity and skill to secure the win. it is often used to express discontent, possibly as a result of their own team’s performance, even though they did win.
– ironically, by the loser. regardless of the game outcome, a member of the losing party may express “ggez”. with that, ironically congratulating the winning team, while simultaneously insulting the team members of their own losing team. telling the winning team that the reason for their victory was the poor performance of the losing team.

it can be argued that gg stands for git gud (rather than “good game”), as another layer of insult.
