Leaving rather than Conceding

[Mursilis 34]

Something I've noticed recently is that my opponent will "Leave the Game" rather than concede if they are going to lose in the next round or two.  Basically they go inactive and rope their turn and eventually the "Your opponent has left the game" message appears and it's over.  The end result is the same either way.  What has me scratching my head is 1) why do it this way and 2) how are they "leaving" in the first place?  Just curiosity really.

1.) Because salt.

2.) Alt + F4.

or if they're playing on a phone or tablet, just close the app.

Ok, so they are basically force quitting themselves out of the game.  Still counts as a loss to them though.  Guess I'll just keep trying to race them to the endline then, defeat them before the game realizes they left and ends on me.

This way you get more XP, yay!
I do it as well when the game I am about to lose was my last game (like, when I need to do other stuff) and I would close HS anyway, so I just skip the mid-step of conceding.
