Hello there again readers, I apologize for a few slaps on the hand my first couple days caused, but hopefully the past will stay the past and I can keep a fun and interesting blog going.
So first of all I want to talk about the Get Better Faster League, a starleague for players in Copper, Bronze, and Silver leagues, with an emphasis on personal growth as a player and in general all the furnishings of a real tournament that sometimes of noobs just want to enjoy now and then.
I'm excited, I can't wait for my match in the round of 64 and my first opponent. Find out if I can even get past the first round. If you want to follow the tournaments progress here's a link to the thread LINK. Even if I get eliminated this is still a great idea and I really hope this continues as the beta progresses, finishes, or moves on.
Our next topic is when to take a breather. I have found that my game can suffer if losses begin to rack up and either frustration or exhaustion get the best of me. I know it's bad form, but this can be a serious consideration for your rating or rank.
Now this varies person to person, but I use the recent match history. I know that if I lose 5 matches in a row, I'm either unlucky, or starting to get sloppy for whatever factor. It is usually those times I take a breather. This can be a few minutes like grabbing a coffee, but usually its about 20 - 30 minutes, enough to watch a TV show or something to get my mind off of the frustration. If I'm tired that's a different matter, take a nap or do something that doesn't require as much concentration or speed. This can even be when I call it for the night.
It's good to keep your morale strong as that has a huge impact on play. If a series of very preventable losses on your part start to happen then it may be best to relax a bit. However, don't take this as a sign of giving up. Keep in mind you are just taking a breather so your A Game is on. If you don't feel like getting off go do something like play another race in a random 2v2 or free for all. That helps you have better context for other races and it's a much lower pressure environment.
Thanks for reading everyone, I hope my writing is entertaining enough to be worth a read and I'll see what I can come up with for you guys tomorrow, peace.
