When I was 2400 I had a time when I lost 18 out of 20 games and slumped hard. I switched races, cried imba, etc. But eventually I made some progress and now I'm doing much better. So do keep trying.

My worst streak was 10 games I think... I'm currently on a 7 loss streak. Just don't give up. Take a break, have a snack, maybe a hot shower and continue to play.

I think the biggest thing you need to do is find people in your life who make you smile without trying, and find games that make you giggle.
Ways to make yourself feel better after you're on a losing streak.

I have someone that makes me smile if I'm feeling like shit after losing so many games. I smile a bit, feel better, and continue playing.
Or, I have a game I play. ^___^
you are perfect porcelain.

The losing streak continues, but now I'm losing to Bronze and the bottom of Silver- meaning I'm actively getting worse with every fucking game I play!

ZvT- LOL, his army can only be harmed by a suicide unit. Kill his army a thousand times, and still never get anywhere, because doing so costs me my only unit that can harm him. He mules the gold and out ecos me despite having half my number of workers, LOL.

ZvZ- 6 pool with spines. No clue how to hold this.

ZvP- LOL, Supply block myself and die to 3 stalkers.

FML.

Relax dude, I have played competitive BW since 06' (on and off of course). The highest I ever got was C-. Going to bed when the sun goes up trying to get good at the game for soo many nights...at the end I am still bad.

Point is, who cares. Just have fun with it, don't take SC seriously unless you really are trying to make money from it.

we've all been there.

play through it and when you finally come out of the slump you'll be even better than before and feel amazing.

if ur no good at it then why are u worrying so much about how good u are it's just a game not like it's important to be good at it

if u want to be good and u actually have talent then you will get there with hard work and the will to overcome adversity (such as repeated losses)
