After having a nice day of mostly wins, and just having fun finally knowing how to do mech at a probably silver level. I had the two worst games of my entire gaming career. I went against one person who lost and ran around building hatcheries for an hour and a half until I rage quit. The next game I got proxy raxed. Needless to say I was so angry I broke a chair, punched a hole in the wall, and almost broke the laptop I use to game. I either need to get the fuck outta bronze league or quit.

If losing makes you this angry you should have tried harder to kill those hatcheries in the first game. If you hunt around with an army it shouldnt take more than a few minutes to kill them all.
Don't worry about the proxy rax, it happens to everyone now and then.
I think you should just ignore the losses and the rank and just go and play again - don't take it too seriously and don't worry about winning or losing, just go for it

if all he had left was just hatcheries/drones building more just send a few groups of units all over the map. Probably will find and destroy everything within a matter of minutes.

Don't get so mad, people lose to cheese at higher levels too, no exception

If you think it's "needless" to say that that was your reaction, and you weren't using hyerbole, honestly you should talk to your dr or something, as that's not healthy. I apologise if that sounds as bad as I think it does, but that sentence really stood out to me.

Either way, I wish you luck in getting out of Bronze if you do continue,

Why'd you get so mad? Those types of games happen to everyone on the ladder - every day - even pros. If you watch any top level players stream - even the best of the best fall to cheese/proxy buildings or get outplayed by players lower than them on ladder. When I lose to proxies, I look at the replay to see what I could have scouted to know that it was coming and also where they put the proxy so if I get nervous or see something fishy, I know where to check first.

those proxy rax's never go away i mean it dose not matter what level your at i still face them in diamond >.<
if something like that happens go back and watch the reply most people put proxy rax's in the same place or around the same place and you just have to scout for it in each game. you should play the game because it's fun, when every time you lose you get so mad your breaking stuff i think you need too work on that because cheese only gets hard the higher you go up. i once lost 93 games in a row when i switched from Terran too zerg dropped me right back down too silver from diamond. i get mad i just take a break too cool off because everyone loses. glhf

Needless? really?

And if a zerg can run around for an hour and a half building hatches, sorry but you were far from victory..

Dont let such silly stuff get to you man. But maybe you should quit if you rage that hard...O_o

Don't worry, if you think you're bronze and you just played the two worst game ever, I have but one thing to say: You ain't seen nothing son.

You must be young as you seem to have an abundance of "fake problems". These are problems that aren't really problems, but you've come to reguard them as major.

There are hundreds of thousands of peopled in our country right now who are out of work and struggling to scrap by day to day. Countless others who have huge debts and no way to pay them off. Children in the inner city are going hungry and many have no prospects for the future.

Meanwhile you're breaking shit because you can't win at Starcraft.

Here's some advice: play the game and enjoy it. Even the losses.
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly's a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

Don't play a game if you don't enjoy it.

Regardless of nostalgia for previous games, time spent on the current one or contacts made and held through it: In the end, it's just a game. You spent money on it to have fun in your spare time. It's not your job, nothing depends on it. If you're not having fun, if it makes you mad - then just stop playing.

King snake son ;o. Just use the advice that all of my friends give our bronze friends, dont even bother laddering atm, go play Macro or die untill you can make a max army i around 15-16 minutes. Once you can do that, you can seriously macro your way to the very least platinum. Losing at your level is frustrating cause it makes you feel like you are "bad". Just try a day or two of the custom map Macro or Die, get really comfortable with that, then you can simplify everything. But losing to a proxy rax is never going to go away, cheese is always the flavor of the month in every league.

If you let the guy build "hatcheries" for an hour and half then you deserve to be in bronze. If it was pylons, hmmm still unreasonable... You gotta have things around map like obs, ovies, scans nonstop, or even send a peon to each part of the map and keep them there as spotters. You have big holes in your game. Improve your map awareness first.

Haha, he made you leave by building random shit without actually having the chance for a comeback? I'm sorry but that is 1) hilarious and 2) probably classifies you as objectively unfit for competitive gaming. It takes like one air unit and five minutes of composure to end a game in that situation. Just wait till people hit you with some diamond-level cheese that they have been practicing for 300 hundred games while also flaming your entire family and harassing you post-game. Now that's real SC2.

my friend I just got proxy gated out of a tourney in the semi's, on xel naga caverns which isn't in the map pool of ANY tournaments nowadays but the z33k shiny daily haven't removed it, but you just gotta shrug it off and say oh well next time I'll be able to stop that because I did x,y,z wrong. Go and make a cup of tea, have a stretch, and most importantly play another game, if you stop playing after a really bad beat you'll stew on it, play more games and you'd be amazed how quickly you forget bad ones :-)

Broke a chair, punched a hole in the wall, and almost broke your laptop over a proxy rax....
Yeah you probably should quit SC2 if you are ending up destroying things over something dumb like that.

I have been in the same situation with zergs building hatches all over and protosses spamming pylons but it never took me and hour and a half to kill them....wtf.

What. The. Hell.

How does someone build hatches for 10 minutes, let alone an hour and a half?! Ignoring that he would just run out of money how hard is it to like put a marine at each expo, take any towers, and patrol a couple air units so you have complete map vision?

I really just don't understand how this situation could have ever happened......

If you lose to a guy building hatcheries around the map for a hour and a half, then you have other problems in your game; perhaps your decision making. Also, don't get angry. Try and treat each loss as a learning experience. To lose, essentially, is better than to win. When you lose, it means somewhere in the game, you did something wrong. Try and isolate this mistake and put it right for next time. Do this enough and you'll come out a better player.



Watch that.

While losing games tends to have a greater effect on me than winning as well, your rage is a little much, no? lol.

If your opponent is just hiding away extra buildings, just patrol marines/ marauders at every single base so he can't mine. Then work on patrolling up and down choke points and using vikings if his buildings can fly. Just macro up, scan and sensor tower the whole damn map, and it's impossible to lose or to take very long to find him. Hell, if you think about it, it's impossible for Terran to waste more than 20 minutes tracking down extra ground structures if you're approaching the situation with a clear head >.>

And hiding away structures doesn't go away in higher leagues, for the record. A win is a win, and players will take it any way they can. As frustrated as you are, it's legitimate. You gotta finish the game.
