i remember way back during pgtour season 1 when i refused to ladder because i would go 1-7 while in my head i'd be convinced that i could get to C easily. take one day, dive into it and promise yourself to play 5 games. your record might blow, but stick with it and eventually you'll come to terms with where you are. it's good that you recognize that you're scared already, a lot of people never do and will dodge forever : ] good luck! | ||

Would it help if you had a practice partner who doesn't insult you for your skill level or choice of strategy? I've been looking for a practice partner lately and I'm at the D/D- level. Of course, if you're at C- or higher, you should probably ignore this. What's your ICC name? I'm SummerTerran. I'd be interested in playing some games and I'm around D+ level. | ||

But I also felt the same way before (in the PGT era). Resolved now, because playing CW's makes me 10x more nervous than some useless stats at iccup. But I like it since it makes me concentrate better while the adrenaline is flowing. | ||

Don't base your self-esteem on how good you are at starcraft, there are too many people that are way better anyway. Play to enjoy and improve. (read: man up) | ||

My hand starts uncontrollably shaking, and I'll lose obviously won games because of this. I can't even control my units because my hands are jerking so hard, and when I take my hands off the mouse they still vibrate insanely. Its really scary, its like playing with extreme Parkinson's for me. I feel your pain. This made me LOL | ||

You need one hand for the mouse and the other one for the keyboard in starcraft. | ||

When i lose in other games i don't give a damn, but losing in Starcraft makes me feel like shit. On March 09 2008 13:06 ahrara_ wrote: Stop giving a damn. Screw around a bit. Take it easy. Play much slower than you usually do. It'll pass, and you'll start getting better too. I have done that a couple of times and it actually works, but sometimes i accidentally snap out of it and return to my normal nervous-gaming self. But yeah, for everyone with the same problem try it out, it really works. | ||

I'm going to mass game tomorrow though. Watched some replays, and saw what I was doing wrong. Really, I'm not that bad. I just need to fix my macro and get my apm up [its at a pathetic avg of 72..]. That and the ICCUP season has just started, so im going against people with an apm of 300. Its fucking bullshit. Oh well. Apparently some people- never met one- throw their babies into a body of water not long after their born, due to the fact that in the womb they already float. Supposedly the baby will learn to float very quickly, and if it does not it dies. I don't know if that really happens, but I suppose that idea can be applied to my Starcraft. Throw me in against much tougher players, just to stay alive for a few minutes you gotta try a lot harder. Who knows, I might be alot better than I would of been if I went against people actually near my skill level.  | ||

play like 10 back to back, keep playing, no matter how bad you play or even if you start to lose concentration I suggest you do it with an account you dont mind resetting. Even if you go like 3-7 or 2-8 or something, there is always /clearstats YES | ||

It's pretty sad. I usually play until I win, then I don't play it for a couple days after I lose. But yeah, I'm kind of glad I'm not the only one with the ridiculous problem. That is so true, rematch is something really scary to me. I get really shaky when i play whit a guy that has a better rank than me, i played whit this Zerg and i tryed the 3rax sunken break for the first time, when i saw that the tech actually worked i started shaking like a madman. Ive never been so scared in one game before | ||

Later i started to try and not care. Play in PCBang with a crappy mouse, play early in the morning with eyes still closed, play while drunk, play while high. After those i just didn't care anymore... | ||

Also like someone said clearing stats helped. I went 16-12 my first 2 days of ICCUP and got pissed that I was losing some extremely close games and so I just /clearstats YES and then it wasn't so serious. | ||
