Hi there!
It's me again
I am currently Plat inSC2 And i play Z
I am on a huge losing streak as usual
i was rank 11-27
This is always a problem for me everytime i get on a losing streak i get completely demotivational
and just want to quit playing but i end up playing but i always lose
i might get like 3 or 4 wins then go on a huge losing streak and the more i lose the more rusty my plays get. ;/
So today I need some motivational stuff to keep me motivated i know there is a starcraft motivational video i watched it a bunch of times but i just cant get motivated to go on when i lose alot...
Today i won 2 and lost about 6 or 7
My W/L is really streaky but i favor more losses than winning so right now i have m,y elbows on the desk demotivated so here i am. :/

Be happy you are getting to play with players who are better than yourself. People who normally wouldn't play you at all because you're so bad. SOOOOO O BAAAADDDD. HAHAHAHAHA

be like me, my motivation is losing itself...currently i have a winrate of ~90% in my last 20-30 games which frustrates me as i cannot improve my play (mid/high masters) when i go on a winning streak i will generally stop playing after 4-5 straight wins (unless i'm playing in some tournament of whatever lol) but i can go on losing streaks of 20-30+ games in a row of losing and just watching the replay then losing again...it's actually something i picked up in bw i have grown to like losing and losing itself (for the sake of improvement) is my motivation to go on

if one always wins then one has no reason to put forth the same amount of effort than if they lost many of their games...at least for me

Also if you feel like your tilting then get up and get some exercise and/or fill yourself up with high suger beverages. You will feel much better AND play better.
