I am done with starcraft. i might watch games but if i cant get my piece of shit ass into masters i'm a useless sack of shit. so there you go, I just feel my life is so pointless being mediocre. whats the fucking point of living being normal? your just like everyone else and no different and the 1% always tell you what to do what the fuck am I alive for?

You could be in the 0.97th percentile and not be masters. Chill the fuck out, bro?

I think you should stop buying into the whole "if you're not Masters, you're trash" idea. Ask yourself, if the definition of trash is anything but the top few percent, does that idea hold any water at all? I've always felt that the idea behind the negative connotation of "mediocre" is objectively stupid.

You sound like a depressed person. Go read some info on depression and try to fight it - preferably in other ways than laddering, that can only exhaust your system more. If you feel like sticking out is substantial for your existence, go run around the town naked.

Btw. This might help make you feel a little special...

Do we have tags for [Rage Blog]? Sorry to sound so harsh, but if your going to quit just like that then your definitely not in the right mentality.

Go outside take a few breathes in, take a nap (Cures anger) and try again if your willing.

eh come on man, i think you are looking at things with the glass half empty. you got a lot of good things going for you (fiance and nearly masters

), whining is just making it worse. if you feel like dying cuz you are sooo normal, what about the rest of us who are less than you? I guess we should jump off a bridge?

maybe if we had the attitude of a two year old, but we don't. instead we can be optimistic and improve like humans have done for thousands and thousands of years.

“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”
― Albert Einstein

Everybody has stuff that they're good at, its just finding what that is. Unfortunately, we may not be as naturally inclined toward things that we want to be good at. But if we want to be good at it, then we're willing to put more effort into getting better to compensate for the lack of natural inclination.

Less mad more self improvement

The definition of "trash" in starcraft seems to be you're bad no matter where you are

This is not everything there is you know, most people play just for fun. Unless you're one of those guys who think they are better then everyone else and deserve to win everything no matter what. You need to chill out. Go outside, breath some fresh air, and come play again

Never live life comparing yourself to others. Live life for you.

On a similar topic - you'll never be satisfied by the things you want unless you're able to be happy with the things you have.

Masters is not difficult to get into, but difficult to stay in for multiple seasons.

and if you are terran, learn to hit timings as opposed to playing strict macro games.

Masters is mediocre too. That's why I stopped playing a lot, I'm never going to be more than mediocre, so I'll just play here and there for fun.

It's a sad realisation to come to if you're a competitive type, but unless you're gonna give it absolutely everything, it's not worth caring about. If you wanna keep achieving, get to masters then quit. That's what I did, and I play my placements every season just to keep those filthy diamonds out

Master's isn't anything special. Masters to the starcraft world is basically what a job at pottery barn is. Not the total shit job you had when you were 16, but nothing to be proud of. You shouldn't be trying to prove yourself by your league anyway. Prove youself by self improvement. If you come seeking attention and pity, you probably came to the wrong place.

starcraft is a never ending quest of self improvement

rather than see the huge void you need to fill, instead look at what you've done so far

it's a road that never ends, and you've been running for so long

it's okay to sit down and take a break if you're tired, but just remember it's not the destination, it's the journey

If you really don't enjoy the journey, then stop playing. But the destination of being "awesome masters guy" shouldn't define whether or not you enjoy it.

If you're not having fun or deriving any enjoyment from the game, then stop playing. Has nothing to do with whether you're grandmaster or bronze.

If you're not as good as Flash is in BW, you're trash. That's more or less the general view, everyone considers themselves trash and obviously everyone below them, which is why you hear "if you're not at least masters, you can't have an opinion" everywhere on TL.net. That doesn't mean you're bad at the game, masters are only the top 2% of the whole playerbase, one would generally not make the case that the lower 98% are all trash in most situations.

Personally, I've always found that if I'm in the top 30%, I will consider myself good. I'm not all that competitive and I don't play even close to enough to be expecting a top position, so why would I care? There's just no reason to buy into the "everyone is trash" if you're affected negatively by it. The whole idea of everyone considering themselves trash is that it's good for training, if you think you're awesome, you'll just rage and be despressed. Consider yourself trash, and you might be motivated to improve.
