Lost like 4 games in a row, and was pretty upset about it.

Then, while jamming to my wonderful Pandora dubstep playlist, I owned this random player (who rolled zerg) and this song came up:


I felt like such a boss. Cause I was like yeah, guess I got my swagga back

Just sharing the irony and how awesome it made me feel :D:D:D

Hehe, good song for the situation. But if you think 4 games is a losing streak, you haven't felt what it's like when the ladder is truly crushing you (0-10+, or 1-16).

Like what the guys above me said earlier, come back after losing 10+ games all nicely lined up.

I had a 12/13ish game losing streak, and was pretty pissed about it. But then for no apparent reason I'm suddenly 27 wins and 6 losses since I finished my loss streak. Losing can be good for you I guess ^___^

Well I'm pretty sure you MMR drops a bit with huge loss streaks. I find myself winning a lot of games in a row after a bad day.

Don't sweat a 4 game losing streak man. It happens all the time. My rule is that its time to take a break after 10 to refocus lol. I started using this rule after this streak that happened when I was preparing for SC2 beta by learning brood war on iccup.

Also I'm pretty sure there isn't anything ironic about what happened.

Yeah I know that, but what surprised me was that my points/mmr is now a lot higher than when I had the losing streak! The only problem is I know feel that I am owed a lot of losses, but we will see.

I think I need to have a serious talk with everyone about what constitutes a losing streak. This 4/5/6 game streak shit isn't cutting it.

Lost like 20 or more in a row on SC2 before, if you think 4 is bad i seriously recommend having a real losing streak

I've noticed a trend. I suck shit when I don't listen to Oceanlab when i'm playing ladder. I don't know whats up with this newfangled Swagger stuff but I'll just stick to trance.

4 isn't TOO terrible.My worst was on iccup at 13. I think worst sc2 is close to 10, but a few nights ago I dropped 4 in a row. It sucks, but that's just the nature of the game. In the ten following that streak I've won 8.

On a different note, if you're the same imjorman in firebat alamo then I'm in your division (I play as PoweRThirsT).
