Wholesome Opponent Compliment After Gaming Win

This is a 3-panel relatable wholesome gaming meme.

The second panel has text that reads 'But they end up saying gg and giving you a much needed compliment', setting up the unexpected nice turn of events. The third panel shows the popular crying gamer kitten meme: a teary-eyed white kitten holding an Xbox 360 controller, conveying that the user is emotionally touched and caught off guard by the kind, sportsmanlike gesture from the opponent.
