You have found out what you love to do and at the same time that you are so good at it, it allows you to do so full time. This is a major achievement in life, not only for you but for all the progamers here! For that you can always be proud and more importantly perhaps, when doubt or frustration kicks in, grateful. When I get frustrated with my work (this happens to us all I'm sure) it is almost always because of the stupid bureaucracy that keeps the organization I work for as a hostage. I love what I do, but sometimes when I'm fuming or getting the blues, I really have to remind me of the fact that I do have a great job and that I must be grateful of that. I have a job I love to go to. Not everyone can say that. You can! Be sure to enjoy it to the fullest while you're at it, because you can't enjoy it later!  I imagine learning builds and participate in tournaments can be a bit like learning new pieces for piano for a concert. My wife is a pianist, so I have some insights from an amateurs point of view. Take piano chamber music for example. You sit alone with your scores (or your build) and finally you nail it. But then you have to play with other musicians (or practice partners, ladder etc) and pay attention to what they are doing. That is where it gets really interesting, where you have to adapt and find the right rhythm, dynamic and improvise to make it work. Of course, as the highlight, it is time for the concert (or tournament) on the big stage. I have seen my wife's friends suffering from stage fright and my heart went out to them. I know how many hours of practice that went into it, and then the performance in the end was not what they hoped for. I can imagine that a good sports coach can help you focusing on the right stuff (mentally as well as tactically) before tournaments and during practice, and, very importantly, get you through times of doubt. Your own writing might help with the latter as well! I wish you best luck and I hope to see you in many tournaments to come! All the best! | ||

Meditation (observing without attachment) DDR at a high level teaches you to be present for this exact moment, arrow by arrow, and connects you with both breath, your body's movements, and also has an emotional/spiritual element. Yoga is the evolution of that practice, and is synergistic with starcraft. It allows you a daily opportunity to reach your personal limitations and surpass them, and through breath, connect you with the present moment. It is a much needed spiritual outlet and will help you have better health, mental clarity, and spiritual awareness. Eat heathfully - fresh, local, non pesticide fruits & veggies (kale shakes in particular), and white meat/fish help to give you the nutrition to help your brain and body be successful Steps to Mastery 1. Discover your calling 2. Submit to reality 3. Absorb the Master's power 4. See people as they are 5. Awaken the dimensional mind 6. Fuse the intuitive with the rational Use these principles to help you accomplish your goals, and connect with the divine within you. You are your own hero. Live it. Snute fighting! | ||

Keep on keeping on. Everyone has downs, it's how you cope with downs that define you and make you grow as a player and a human. | ||

I'm delighted to know you still enjoy the game and follow your passion. Not everyone have realized what their passions are at your age, and I'm truly happy for you I still try to find games you play every day and follow you the best I can on the net. As a fellow Norwegian I feel proud that you have reached this far coming from a small community, and you've definitely not failed us. You've won! And you can keep playing for as long as you want as long as you have passion. And as a nice person, you make every one of us proud :D | ||

Also, since it's a game, if you feel like your results and/or your enjoyment for the time spent on it leads you to a depression, think about university etc, because it's never a bad decision to study! Btw to avoid stress, you can try these : _The sadism way of play, you are trying hard to not miss your injects etc and you are thinking to "x" thing you hate and that the best you play the harder this x is in pain. Have a devil smile while doing it. _Rely on the maths, when executing a build orders that is truly safe and leads to critical things you know about, it feels safer, so when you loose it's less because of stress. I practice a lot, many persons are in the shadows of the sc2 scene but don't succeed. Good luck for your future events! | ||

The issue is not only with yourself and the way you practice. There is no definite way that guarantees to reach the top. If there were, everybody capable of it would do it and everybody would succeed, which is (as I already said) impossible in Starcraft. Writing this with hesitation, I also think you should lower your expectations. Why should you out of all the players be successful, and not somebody else? Of course you can reverse this question, but the point is, naturally, some players win and others lose. It's just a side you necessarily fall on. And looking at your achievements, you had a good share of wins. And about other players (mostly koreans) being simply better than you: that's the same in every field. There is always somebody better than you. What do you expect? To be so good to cast a shadow on everybody else and be at the very top? If you think about the very best player: there is only one. In the whole goddamn world. Reading this myself it sounds a bit harsh, but that's not my intention. I just think that "hanging around" as professional player is all that you can hope for. If more happens, take it, but to actually expect something beyond it is a bit unrealistic especially in a tough competitive sport like Starcraft. Losing to players practicing way less than you is a different story though. Even though there is a good chance that they have the stephano-gene and are just naturally better than you. Which is something that simply happens. | ||

When winning and losing becomes pointless it doesn't, in my experience, lower the drive to improve and succeed but it comes from a place within myself rather then from outside sources. | ||
