I swear, I'll never get remotely competent with this fucking game.
Why do I even keep trying?

If not, then you just got bad luck with Blizzard's terrible algorithms. Nah, I checked my opponent's profiles- it's just that I suck. One of those losses was to a bronze leaguer, and several were to silver leaguers. EDIT- one thing I will add, only one of those was ZvP- the rest were ALL ZvT, which is by far my weakest matchup. And, yes, the ZvP was one of my wins. | ||

As a matter of fact, you may be at a point where you don't even realize you are learning something new, or thinking about the game differently, so you will lose many games and then suddenly start winning from incorporating the tiniest of new pieces of information. Just keep playing and focus. Same thing has happened to me multiple times. There was one time I was re-learning/learning something new to me, and I dropped over 700 points. Kept playing throught it and regained all the points + had more knowledge on builds/new strategy for the game and also had more experience with playing out other builds as i worked my way back up. so don't worry about it and keep going!! | ||

You need to be playing and losing your weakest match-up until you get good at it. My TvT went from terribad to megagood just from getting TvTs over and over again. So same applies to you...turn it into a strong match-up instead of leaving it weak. | ||

I usually get too pissed to watch my replays after such losing streak so I tend to play some random team games to blow of some steam. After that thoroughly analyze your replays and make a checklist of the things that went wrong. That's what usually gets me motivated again because you realize you could have won a lot more if you fix the points on your checklist. | ||

And now where ever I get in losing streaks I play Mario Kart, FIFA or maybe go outside to play Soccer. So the point of this is don't give up, just take a small brake from the game when you're in streaks like that take a brake. Just don't punch your computer ^_^ | ||

If the game is upsetting to play then stop. I agree with the iccup sentiments, too. I had about a 30% win ratio for over a year in D (out of about 400 games - and that's NORMAL!) | ||

0-10 is good, My first season on Iccup ( 2008 i think) i went 0 - 27 ( I was able to beat most of my friend, and thus kept trying to win a game ) , and finished 12-85 :D . I could still describe the game where i grabbed my first win ( Lurker imba). I only hit D+ for 2 games the next season ^^", but got closer to a 50/50 ratio. | ||

My first season I was 2-74 or something around this. Never lost the fun of playing though. Never got past D+. Edit: just checked on iCCup, my first season I finished 1-7. Second season I went 33-104. | ||

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. ^___^ | ||

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. | ||

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