Gank maxxing is the pursuit of absolute maximum gank efficiency — every route planned, every ward accounted for, every cooldown tracked, every invade timed. The gank maxxer doesn't just look for opportunities; they create them through sheer obsessive preparation.

A peak GG is the best possible version of a match ending — the kind of close, skillful, back-and-forth game where both sides played near perfectly and everyone walks away feeling like they earned something. Peak GGs are rare. They require no rage, no cheap tactics, no one dropping from the lobby — just clean competitive play from start to finish. When peak GG happens, the callout lands differently because it's actually true. These are the matches people remember, clip, and reference months later when describing what the game is supposed to feel like at its best.
