menyerah dan pergi/kabur
Explanation:
Arti idiom ini bukan saja berlari pergi tapi berlari dengan ketakutan karena sifatnya yang pengecut seperti binatang yang menyelipkan ekornya di antara kaki belakang jika ketakutan.

"Instead of defending his master, he will tuck his tail between his legs and run for cover. This dog is a coward. He will be very slow to walk around and will slink away at the sign of any danger."

Tapi karena konteksnya adalah permainan daring, dan mungkin ini diucapkan oleh dua orang yang baru selesai bertempur, maka saya menyodorkan pilihan ini
