Good luck!

I disagree that there is no luck - how often have you seen a game where somebody just barely survives a massive attack and then happens to get a winning endgame because of it. I rarely consider the defender to have deliberately lured their opponent into hitting them with the intention of scraping their way out - those wins would definitely be considered luck.
Or, given we are online, geting a dead lost position but winning on lag or the opponent disconnecting - that truly is luck

"Surviving a massive attack than winning"
Of course that's not luck. It's poor tactics and/or strategies of the attacker against good defending abilities of the other players.

"Winning on lag"
Sure, that's luck. So, wishing good luck to your opponent implies your hope in a false result, after a game jeopardised by connection problems. That is exactly the opposite of sportsmanship.

Try "may the best win" instead.
