Convince yourself that you're bad and no one gives a shit about your games, and that no matter how poorly you play it'll always be more beneficial to your game than not playing. At least that's what I did

Detatch your ego from it! You have to realize that winning or losing a game on the ladder has nothing to do with your self worth- this can be a big subconscious barrier. Come to peace with the fact that you will lose a LOT of games- the biggest pros in the world lose a LOT of games- and don't get hung up on it. Good luck!


^These. I've never been incredibly afraid of laddering 1v1 but that fear of losing can be tremendous. Go with a super risky build that you know you will likely lose with and the more you lose, the more comfortable you will be with it and it should become less scary. A good way to get over the fear is to go with a build you know will be difficult to win with. Do a monobattle in 1v1 and pick exotic units and if you lose then you can contribute it to the build and not necessarily take it personally if you lose.

Just remember it's a game... have fun. After a while ladder fear just goes and you don't care that much.

How are 2v2's fun though? :/

it sucks now but if you just grind through it you will look back and laugh at your shaking hands.
