Hello ladies and gentlemen,

SO it's been on of those weeks... Started the week amazing. Starting last week I went 15-8 in the ladder and was blowing players away (Including some high plats). I was playing really really well. But the last two days have been one of those really weird times where you make all sorts of mistakes.

For instance, for the first time in over a week I lost to a terran player. Not just any terran player... But I terran player who used a stategy that I normally can destroy. I'm misclicking like crazy, microing badly, and over-macroing. Panicing when I see the enemy army and just over-all I seem to be out of my element. Even in team games, I have been really just not doing very well.

I do have to say that two days ago I was finally promoted to platinum and am going against lower level plat instead of high level ( when I was in Gold league I was against good win ratios and high points). But since then I have gone 4-6 and even lsot to a few gold players and people with only 26 games played.

So just been one of those weeks and looks like I will just have to get practicing and get back to my form from last weekend.

Enjoy the weekend guys!

It happens. I go through that all the time. One week I went something like... 14-1 with an 11 game winning streak. Then the following week i went 4-15 or something. (I'm at roughly 600 diamond btw). During the 11 game winning streak, I beat players with 1.3k points in diamond and in the 4-15 stretch I lost to players in platinum.

Just have to prepare yourself mentally (at least that's what I think) and do your best. Good luck and make sure you HAVE FUN. It's a game

Drink coffee.
Focus.
Dont play when you're tired.
Prepare "in your head", never starts the game under pressure.
Re-drink coffe.

That's what i do
