Again, I have a problem that TeamLiquid has to solve. This isn't as trivial as the last problem though. So, I've mustered up the motivation to actually play Starcraft instead of simply watching Starcraft and stalking IdrA. I'm doing pretty good. I'm working my way up to Diamond league, and I'm learning how to fend off cheese at a decent pace.
But while my APM is fine and dandy and my strategies and timings are up-to-date, I always forget one thing...I forget to breathe. I don't know why, but when it gets to 3 base play and 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 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.

This is dangerous. I highly recommend you get a playlist that goes, "Breathe in, breathe out," similar to the ones you always hear about in blond jokes.

Try a game or two focusing on inhaling thru the nose and exhaling thru the mouth.

play some music and hum to it or something? I dunno man D:

I play music, but by the late game I kind of just zone out and don't even hear anything...I guess I'm trying too hard unintentionally?

Hmm sometimes when I try to get to sleep I concentrate really hard on doing nothing and then I have to gasp for air, what I do is just relax, so don't be consciously thinking about breathing as it will just annoy you.

I think someone needs to code something like an APM alert - a breathing rate alert.

I'm pretty sure I'm as dumb as you.
Either that or this office is really stuffy.

Sing while playing, that will force you to either breathe or pass out, your choice.
|
its not necesarily a bad thing as long as you don't faint and even if you do its not like you are gonna die :/
so if those two aren't a problem anyways then don't worry about it too much also you need to check how frequently this happens :/
|
also play your music louder to the point where you cant ignore it, haha

This happens to me all the fucking time. Especially during high school history, not as much anymore.

Yeah I play Zerg. I don't see how you can relax during the late game as Zerg ahaha.

Kanye West ft Ludacris - Breathe in Breathe Out

Goddamnit...I am now breathing manually. Maybe keep a small glass of water near you and take sips every so often? That should get you to breathe a little bit more often.

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