Tonight is wednesday and since the weekend is coming, I usually play sc and take a break from hw. I had been losing a lot lately, like 8/10 past games roughly, and managed to even fall back to frigging D, so I wanted to get my iccup rank back up again.
So I got on iccup today...I lost every single game I played. I thought, "ok well I'll just play a micro tourney"...couldn't get over 25 points, and the opponents weren't exactly amazing.
I was thinking..what the shit is going on?? I was playing like a D-. I'm a D+ zerg (it would be higher but i switched from toss 4 months ago so I am still adjusting), I should @ least be able to play reasonably. I don't mind losing, it's great to learn from mistakes. I just don't like it when I feel like I am not playing up to my standard and then losing b/c of it, you know what I mean? I just couldn't focus.
So I get offline, annoyed and tired. Then I realized that I had just caught a cold a day ago. it's one of those colds that make you feel really tired. Ahh, all makes sense now, that's why I couldn't focus @ all.
I guess I can't play well while sick (or @ least with this type of cold). What about you guys? Can you play well or @ least up to normal standard while sick?

actually man now that i study at university and work at the same time when i catch a cold or something this is the only time i play sc 
so yeah i love doing this! and no i have never felt that i cannot focus or something... only when i have really high temperature..

Hmm now that I think about it I haven't been sick in god knows how long, can't remember the last time. I guess it would depend on the severity of the illness, but I imagine it could be very detrimental to my play.
I've seen Flash and Light play games while feeling sick and not taking any medication and they both managed to win games.

Lol well yeah it sounds pretty silly not to play sc b/c I am sick. It's the perfect time TO play sc. Pretty annoying -.-

Generally you start making stupid mistakes when you're tired and sick. It's pretty much a rule that you will play bad under those kind of conditions, but as you know, every rule has its expections.

Not only when you're sick, but after a lot of intensive, tiring games you usually play worse even if you feel like you're playing really well. It's like that with sports and with studying, it shouldn't be any different for a game that requires good physical and mental health.

You can play well when you're sick, just don't mess up you @tacks!
Or don't think of @tractive women while playing.

Just don't play while you're sick?
I once had a pretty bad habit which was: I liked to bite my fingernails. It wasn't neccessarily me being sick or something but it really hindered my play as it was painful to click with some fingers XD
