... i own starcraft 2 since the WoL Beta in 2010 and as you can see in my Bnet Profile, since then i accumulated the laughable amounts of under 250 wins on the 1v1 ladder. Thats what a decently active player gets in a single season.

Tomorrow starting around 12:00 CET (about 9 hours from now) i decided to give it another shot and try to stream a whole day of laddering. If you want come and hang out, together we can find out what lies beneath that scary "Find Game" Button. You can see what "MMR Decay" does in action and how games after a huge break look like. I guess we will see all the kinds of fierce things, that are thrown at us and I will gladly adress any questions around the topic of ladder anxiety or dealing with losses.

Maybe you can scrap together some motivation yourself to bust out ye olde ladder-motivation

TBH you know best way to get rid of ladder anxiety? Fucking proxy 4gate and stop giving a shit. The more you care about things the more they hurt you.

telling someone the way to stop caring about something is "just stop caring about it" is not helpful, other people's minds do not work the same way yours does

also not everyone likes playing aggressive so suggesting using a single aggressive build every time also is not helpful at all (what is a "proxy 4gate", btw? ive heard of 4gate but proxy?)

congrats on making yourself sound like a hardass on the internet though i guess?

When you stop caring about beating your opponent, the anxiety will go away. Just play for the learning experience and the fun.
