The origins of Glittering Girly Gwent Gaming

A gloomy rainy autumn day. Freezing temperatures, fog outside which absorbs all colours and leaves you with nothing but a dull, grey, wet nothing.
GWENT talk between Poppy and Easha was on a downwards spiral: Always going first. A losing streak and thus dropping further down the ranked ladder. Unfortunate RNG. Bad matchups… you name it.

Why GG when you can GG twice?

“GG” refers to a game mechanic of GWENT where you can click a button to wish your opponent a “Good Game” after the match as a token of appreciation and gesture of good sports(wo)manship.
