Pretend that you are Lee Young Ho. Profit! Laddering is tough, but so is everything else in life, whether it's applying to that dream job or asking out that dream girl. You just gotta go for it. Be result independent. I personally have a pretty baller playlist full of kpop, video game music, and montage music to pump me up during my ladder sessions. | ||

Nah man, wrong song, Flash is KARA fan. + Show Spoiler + Gotta go all the way if you want to pretend to be him  And as for playing ladder, to me that's the easy part. Not punching through every walls or jump off of a cliff after the ladder session is the hard part. | ||

But you can be you and that itself has endless possibilities if you try and learn. They just didn't wake up one day and become a pro. It takes time, blood, and rage tears. I used to be scared of not preforming my best but I noticed I play so much better when I'm tired. I thought about it and its because I'm apathetic to everything but the game and myself. So I didn't overthink everything. I concentrated on Injects and creep, on drones rather than all the what ifs because who cares. You cant win all you games anyways, no one does. Not even the god Flash. Great explanation. I think people get ladder fear sometimes because they feel like they can't improve at a good pace or feel lost or can't figure out a build that ALWAYS gets them. But knowing that nearly everyone else playing has these same kinds of flaws is a reassuring thing. I'm glad to hear some people are actually answering the question in a thoughtful manner and not simply going "herp derp just press the button and play the game, what are you bro, a loser? herp derp". | ||

However, I do play a couple of customs to get in the groove and get any stupid mistakes out of the way [supply blocking myself before 10 min etc.] | ||

1. Play a single custom game. Doesn't matter what level my opponent is, because I just want to warm up. My computer also kinda sucks so every time I build my first sentry after I've shut it down, I get a weird fps hiccup (I know, it is weird, I don't get it). 2. I always have music playing. I cycle through different playlists, but I won't ladder without music. 3. I warm up my arms/hands. This is usually just stretching mixed with light exercises like shadow boxing and quick hand movements on the mouse/keyboard. | ||
