GG has been typed at the end of online matches since the early days of multiplayer PC gaming as a show of sportsmanship, short for good game. Adding EZ, meaning easy, flipped it into sarcasm, and GG EZ became a common taunt in shooters, MOBAs and fighting games. Players spam it in chat after one-sided rounds, alongside other match callouts like bomb has been planted, and it spread to streams and edits as a text-to-speech voice line. Filters in some games even replace it automatically, which only made the phrase more famous.
