Power of the stress ball?

So I have been having crazy anger issues when it comes to loosing ladder games I shouldn't be loosing.

I am trying to come up with ways to help calm my anger when things like that can happen. I have seen players like Huk use a stress ball during matches. Would this help me when I loose a game? instead of getting hot headed and punching stuff, would squeezing a stress ball really make me calm?

Give me your ideas on ways to fix this.

Rather than wasting your time squeezing a stress ball, simply assume a squatting position and squeeze the shit out of your own balls. Your anger will vanish.
After all this time, I still haven't figured out the correlation between sexual orientation and beating an unprepared opponent. Are homosexuals the next koreans? Many players seem to think it's an unfair advantage. - pandaburn

Grab a pillow and scream into it or start kickin its ass. Show that pillow that he was the wrong pillow to mess with you. I know you said you didn't want to punch things, but it's just a pillow.

This. 1000x this.
I hear your heart beat to the beat of the drums, what a shame that you came here with someone.

Stretch and breathe deeply.

Or a cold shower.

Personally i dont really get that mad from a loss, but sometimes when i do i go just outside my house, and ran full sprint till my lungs are killing, when ur trying to breathe from lack of oxygen nothing else matters and ur so tired u just wanna sit down and not move urself too much, perfect for playing starcraft, well actually i just review my games because i bit too tired to actually play but it certainly takes the anger away =D
hope this works for you

You get angry because your ego is too big. Completely remove yourself from your ego when you're playing and you won't be getting as angry. Also, excercise helps.

I am starting to worry about what happens after the games I drop scans followed by manner mules in the base/army of guys like you.
So... what that make you? Good? You're not good. You just know how to hide, how to lie
