I am like this in almost all games I have ever played. I love winning. And when I lose I hate myself. Could have something to do with low self esteem or something. Keep playing with her and try to find good things in her gaming, like "at least you had good macro, expanding and kept making workers during the games. Too bad we lost that one" or "at least you upgraded, that's good". Try to turn losing into something positive, like an opporunity to learn. And like someone else said, sometimes you just need a few hugs  Good luck, and how sweet, you play games together | ||

Also she won't improve by you playing like crap on purpose My bf is 2 leagues higher than me and I can't really beat him. Unless I ask for practising some build and then do something else haha  | ||

I have done that with a lot of friends. Just sitting and talking over skype about what and what not to do. This can be a really good help for her. Or you can just sit besides her and remind her about what she forgets (macro, micro) so she won't lose because of some stupid thing like forgetting upgrades in a long game and so on. | ||

Also recommend that book, The Mental Game by that Jarred guy, it's 100% applicable to SC2 (it's for poker, about tilt n shit). Oh, the reason why no tips or advice when someone's really emotional is because they percieve it as insults or rejection. | ||

If she lacks time, tell her to stop playing 2vs2, you actually loose skill playing those dumb team games, and coach her instead. Find a practice partner of her level and coach her. However, she will simply go up the ladder and lose to better opponents. | ||

Instead just check replays that she has lost with her and try to point out things to improve, bad habits, etc. You also have to be pretty active during this period and ask her what she was thinking with some of the moves she made. At least, that is what a friend of mine that sort of coached me in sc bw (ah the good times) used to do and it helped me immensely. At least this method is pretty easily done online in chat, and you could always look it over yourself and then talk to her about it when you dont have time. edit: btw, yeah listen to what some1 else said in the comments of bringning in a person that is almost equally as skilled, because the frind that cached me would never stop to being bm with me then point out why i suck  . A higher lvl player is good, but only for one or two times but then it just gets fustrating. | ||

Hahahaha, that's fairly pessimistic, imagine if they included that in the rank-up notification: "congratulations! you have reached [x] league! Now while you feel this is an achievement, you will eventually just lose to people far better then you" Or something along those lines. | ||

I recommend telling her to give you control, and you control both of your units + macro yourself while she just macro's her own stuff. Works fairly well for me + goldie gf and we have a lot of fun, and she doesn't get too stressed out. Plus it's fun and challenging for me heh. Doing the same and it fits perfectly. As said I have a lot of fun controlling lots of different units while she keeps on macroing and building units I tell her to (by describing what the enemys are up to). Sometimes she gets mad too because she doesn't like loosing. Actually I like that cause I we both like winning. Whenever we loose she thinks it is due to her skill but I keep telling her what she is doing good. What she should improve and why we really lost (mostly due to allins, cannonrushes or hard unitcombinations). Then she realizes its not her fault and tells me: Next time we check everything around our base and we do stupid shit to them if they plan to do so against us. So basically involving her into your little game analysis is the best you can do. If you can I advice you to play next to her. Makes it better for you and her Enjoy gaming with your gf! It is totally worth it I love it! | ||

Pretty cool that you have a really competitive sc girlfriend though. Why not coach her with ladder and help her get better? Just like sit next to her and help her out, make her feel better when she loses, congratulate her on her wins. | ||

"idk, it's like, you're forcing me to have fun by doing stupid shit and you've given up on my ability to win a game straight up" Just grab her or hold her and say something like "listen to me i just want you to have fun, winning or losing is not important to me." not in angry way, but like.. truthfully or something... (im not good with this shit, just trying to help lol sorry)(Also that hold/grab her thing might be a little em, i dunno somethig you would see in a movie, its like dramatic and stuff so maybe dont do that :D) :D also sorry if I didn't expain well, not really good at explaining things :D :D | ||
