Disqualification
From Liquipedia StarCraft Brood War Wiki
In professional StarCraft, there are a number of actions which may result in a player's disqualification, depending on the particular rules in use.
In early 2009, shortly after the "ZiZi YO" incident involving BackHo in a game against FireFist, KeSPA invited further controversy by changing the rules so that only "ppp" (to request a pause), and "gg" or "GG" were allowed to be typed in without being disqualified. After Leta's disqualification, the "ppp" rule was relaxed, but players continued to be disqualified under the "gg" rule until it was amended at the start of the 2009-10 season.
