I've been laddering for about 3-4 months, but I've always had the feeling I wasn't trying my best, just playing around lazily with about 50 APM every game. Recently I've even been achievement hunting...

So I was playing a 2v2 today (for the guide three achievement), my teammate and I was both gold (in 1v1), the opposing team has one good and one not so good player. I played without headphones and was losing SCVs continuously during the game to hellions + vikings harasses, but we still managed to barely beat them.

The story started when my teammate kept telling me what a noob I was, and how he couldn't believe my noobness etc... I got quite pissed, because I wasn't playing that badly, just a bit careless with the SCVs. So I challenged him to a 1v1 on Xel'Naga afterwards.

After the game started I felt like I was playing much better than usual, not missing refinery/supply/SCVs... at all. But he was probably a bit better than me (he played Z in the 2v2 but then P when we 1v1) and managed to win the fight at my natural, killed a lot of SCVs and marines/marauders. At that moment I thought to myself "damn, I can't believe I'm losing, this is so embarrassing", then my hands speed suddenly increased, I immediately put the CC back to the natural and built three bunkers to defend. However, I knew I was still behind so I took a risk and built a third CC at the 5 o'clock expansion, hoping he wouldn't find out soon enough. Meanwhile he was building up his army off 2 bases, mostly Immortals + gateway units. I was just making MMM until I scanned his base and saw a Robotics Bay. So for a moment I used my brain and loaded up 2 medivacs with marines/marauders and headed to his base. When the medivacs got to his base, he was attacking my natural!. The 3 bunkers + some marines/marauders/medivacs fought bravely but still couldn't hold, and he was left with several stalkers. I pulled every SCVs in my main and with the marines/marauders popping out from the barracks, I held off the attack. Meanwhile my troops from the 2 medivacs I dropped in his main were still there destroying everything. The game was over at that point.

When he typed "GG" I felt so good IRL. A feeling of satisfaction that I couldn't remember the last time I had one.

Rage mode ftw!.

Yep just like in japanese animes; you're about to lose what you love the most (your honor) so you get into super saiyan mode and start doing incredible shit you never did and outgame him. I love these stories

Keep going!

So I've been off-racing a lot lately, I main Z (master level), but I've been trying to learn P (at high diamond). I'm always a little bitter when I lose ZvP or PvZ as I think I'm pretty good at ZvZ and PvP so I'll always try to challenge my opponent to their mirror, but so far I've never had any takers :-).
I always try to shield slam face, just to make sure it doesnt work

Really? That is such a great fantastic quality post Rotodyne. Like wow... I'm amazed.

@OP of course it always feels good to beat somebody that says that you're bad, because if you're bad and you beat them it obviously makes them worse than you, so they're insulting themselves even more
Wahaha

'Especially if'?

I would think its a given that, to be in the right, you're the guy upholding your own honour, and not the douchebag who started the fight.
