Kanye West ft Ludacris - Breathe in Breathe Out
Thats ur song buddy, and its good =)


If only they had good rappers in that song it would be better.

Hey hey hey, Luda is a great man, and Kanye is, well i think he made a few good songs one time.

Oh and OP, i think you should just not breathe, if you end up winning your games, why would you want to change? I am pretty sure that too much O2 can cause you to make mistakes. I reccomend holding your breathe the entire game. Come back and let me know how it goes.

I hardly notice it during the game, but after my opponent GGs, I gasp for air and take a minute to recoup. And my friends (on skype) always laugh at me because during the game, I apparently breathe heavily at weird intervals.

So TeamLiquid, I ask for your help again. Please give me tips on how to breathe while playing Starcraft 2. I think it may be detrimental to my health and play in the long run.


How people got trolled by his post is beyond me.

Seriously? I don't even feel the need to explain myself; his fairy tale is utterly ridiculous. Most likely he made up the story, or exaggerated it way out of proportions (holding your breath in anticipation/fear/excitement happens, but not nearly to an extent (3-5 mins)where your brain cells would starting dying roflcopters).


Just putting this in perspective:

Yah, I breathe pretty heavily or "gasp" for air as well after an intense macro game. And oh shit, TL I need your help too; whenever it gets to 3rd base play with girls I have to start multitasking like a madman, I stop breathing. I hardly notice it during the game, but after my opponent GGs, I gasp for air and take a miinute to recoup. And my friends (irl) always laugh at me because during the group orgies, I apparently breathe heavily at weird intervals. HALP?

i'll offer two parallel suggestions:
1) consider meditating. the goal is to spend your energy concentrating on your breath. the rhythm, flow, and maybe most importantly, the depth. it's important to keep your spine straight with a slight arch in your lower back. your chin should be pointed down and gently tucked, but don't get carried away. so imagine a taut string on the back of your head, that's attached to the ceiling.
now for the tricky part. focus the mind on your naval area, just below the belly. take a number of slow deep breaths. imagine this area expanding like a balloon on the inhale, and deflating with your exhale. after your controlled deep breathing, just sit and try to mind only your breath. it may be useful in the early stages of practice to count along with your breaths, as it is inevitable thoughts will try and steer your attention elsewhere.

2) remind yourself to breath in your pregame checklist or mantra. something along the lines of, "workers, supply, minerals, units, scout, breath, etc".

Hope this helps

Way to make a fun blog serious. Yes, I did exaggerate the story, but I do breathe heavily during the game, so I thought I'd make a silly blog while still seeing if there is any way to stop this or if it is just a normal thing.

Thanks for proving my point, falling back onto "oh it was just for fun..."

Was it a silly blog when you asked for help? It was silly because you were worried about your health and play in the long term right? So silly indeed, attracting such non-serious replies from the likes of stahlvogel suggestion meditation and whatnot lmao.

Anyway, I killed your fairy tale blog as intended. Have a nice day.

Yes it was a silly blog at first. If it was serious, then I wouldn't have asked TeamLiquid for help.

You don't want to split your focus between breathing and playing sc2, you'll end up playing worse. Instead,get one of those respirator machines they have in hospitals.

OHhh OHhhh OHhh, i recommend this as well. I also think you should get machines to replace your other bodily functions to maximize your SC2 as well. Get a Heart machine to pump your blood for you, get an IV for fluids, and get some fancy pills so you do not need to eat. This is the best way to fix your problems.

Lol, something similar tends to happen to me. While I don't get short of breath or breath heavily, my right leg seems to go numb for a bit in a fight when I have to micro intensively (mainly during those pesky all-ins). When I macro, even if its a long game, I'm extremely relaxed lol. Maybe you could def. listen to some chill music in a decent volume (higher than game sound). I recommend HasHe and Spanishwa's playlist, they do have some great songs in there.

What if you tried to talk while you played? Can you commentate on your own game while you play it? It's impossible to talk (at least for the length of a game) without breathing. I use this trick with running. If I can still talk while I'm jogging, then I know I am not running too quickly.
