If I'm feeling bad, I play really poorly. When I am feeling well, I play so much better. The difference in my skill level from one mental/physical state to another is absolutely amazing. Perhaps the same is for you? Could be just fatigue or perhaps you aren't feeling 100%.

I had the same thing going on on Sunday.

Sunday morning, I woke up, had a coffee, had breakfast, felt fantastic, played amazingly for a good 10-11 games in a row.

Took a break, watched Top Gear, had lunch. Then I'm not sure what happened. Perhaps the coffee kicked in again, or something, but my hands were jittery, I felt nervous, awkward, was mis-clicking all over the place (three times in one game I went to go build a pylon and sent every probe to go build it).

Just relax. you're not going to instantly forget how to play. Take a couple hours break to do something else. Play another game. Then come back and play a few rounds in YABOT or vs an AI and just focus on doing all the basic stuff well.

Then jump back into ladder. You'll be fine.

I went 3-17 the other day. Took a day off, spent some time with my g/f, came back two days later and went 11-3.

Starcraft is a very cerebral game. If your head's not in the right place, your play won't be either.

I think this might be the most important post in this thread.

There are often reallife issues that - while you don't conciously think about them - block you from playing properly. Your subconciousness is too busy with those problems and can't remind you to inject again or to build overlords. I'm in such a slump currently and i play only half as good as a month ago.

Relax, don't play anything you really care about, take a break and solve reallife issues so you don't have to worry about anything while playing.

Sounds like you're on a period. If this is your first time, don't freak out if you wake up with dried blood in your panties.

You're losing because you're trying so hard to win. You have the sense of urgency to quickly win a game and you make your gameplay suffer because of that. Just chill for awhile and take it easy. Don't think that you have to win just think your opponent is a computer and read his build and respond accordingly. Focus on not getting supply blocked and not missing injects.

You're getting matched up with people that are around your skill level. Whether they be diamond or silver. If you play like shit you're going to be matched up against shitty players

It happens to me all the time, just play some more games. While you take a week or two off and get a bit rusty, everybody else is playing and getting better! Therefore when you start playing again the system thinks you are as good as when you stopped. You just need to play a few more games and you'll be being matched with diamonds in no time.
