How?
Because Germans are not morons to play like that.
EDIT: I'm German. Let me rephrase that, I'm Bavarian. That's why I have various sub variations like the Berlin, Bavarian Attack, etc.
I challenge all with this opening as black
Bavarian Attack as black:
I challenge all with this opening as black
I accept. Send me a 3 days per move challenge with me playing white (I won't play this opening as black).
I only play live games of 3 minutes to 10 minutes on here

It's a bad opening. There is nothing more to say.

But he won with it when his opponent blundered his queen. That makes it a good opening right? Right?

You're thinking about the Yereslov opening...
The German opening is good IMO
It's not worthless. What if a grandmaster with an ELO of 2700+ plays it?
This is the most stupid thing I've ever seen. Black exposes his king and gives up TWO pawns for nothing in return (I'm talking about the mainline posted somewhere here)... And even if it was acceptable why wouldn't you play "normal" stuff like e5 or c5 in response. You can resign after playing f5.

No 2700+ grandmaster plays this - and for good reasons.

they lose...
please find a list of all grandmaster level games using this opening, lets compare the stats.

Five bucks says his next comment is "No Grandmaster has ever lost with it! huehuehuehueh!"
Someone in the top 10 can play this and win against players rated 2600 and below, or at least draw by playing this.
Even at my level, I can easily convert a 2-pawn and positional advantage quite easily, even with perfect play from the opponent.
I see. Anyone else?
Good opening for black in blitz and bullet
Try an interesting variation of the Sicilian if you want to be different.
Agreed.
