This week, it has been pretty weird for me. First I go on iccup to reach D+ but soon after they everything went pretty much downhill. I started losing and losing and losing and I am on a 14 loss streak.. I am not particularly upset about it, I just don't know how am I playing wrong. I set-up the builds, think what I am going to do but, everything seems to happen in slow motion while I am playing. Those little things like mis-micro, forgetting macro, stupid mistakes that cost the game are the things that are killing me. So I am trying desperately to get out of this big losing streak.. I am checking my replays and knowing what I did wrong and how to correct it. But everything just doesn't seem to click in action, which is the true weird part...

Your not alone don't worry, everybody has had those losing streaks. You will get back to normal eventually. Maybe try playing a little more unconventional or cheese a bit to get some wins to give you some confidence.

i lost 20 of last 25 games total, and 30 of my last 40.

there was a video in my blog (got closed xD) that i wish i could show you. it's hilarious and reminds you that sc should be fun!

stop playing sc for a week. or try at least- it gives you that urge to play again

My worst streak was like 12 losses in a row last season.

It was pretty horrifying, ahahahah. We just have these bad days where we fuck up our build orders, don't notice that the spire didn't start because we were short on mineral, upgrade hydra speed instead of lurker aspect, make a batch of scourge instead of mutas, etc.

14 games isn't that much and it usually takes repitition to improve your game even if you know what you do wrong, if you want (and can create games), I can watch some reps with you right now to see if it's something very wrong with your stratergy. If you just want to break the streak you can just go two hatch hydra vs protoss though.

Edit: My worst streak in this season was like 2-24 starting with a 0-12 first at d+ level, the strange thing is that i cant remember even noticing it.. ><

I find that this helps. It clears your mind and allows you to really WANT to play.

This is a 50-50 for me. Sometimes I don't play for a week and really WANT to play. half the time I play better than i used to for some reason. half the time, I dont know wtf I'm doing. I haven't played for a week. Today I played some Zerg on ICC who i knew i couldve beaten if i were my "old self" but i screwed up and didnt know wtf i was doing throughout the game. I lost despite having 2 HTs with a total of 27 drone kills XD (I hate lurk/sunk/spore) -_-

You lose too much when you get too high in general. In your case it is bad luck I suppose.

That sucks man. I was one win from A- about a 1.5 months ago with 8900 (this is 2v2, not 1v1), and I lost something like 15 in a row to go back to 7500, and then I got stuck at B+ ~8100 for the next 60-70 games, and then I stopped playing because I was too irritated with it and the account has been there ever since.

When you are on a big losing streak it helps to take a break. I don't heed my own advice though - losing makes me want to play more. When I'm losing, I just keep playing. I'm searching for that 1 damn win to break the streak, and it just never comes, and I lose and lose and lose. This used to happen with 1v1's as well when I stilled played 1v1.
You are crushing me like a cheese sandwich

I remember I started off my iCCup experience by losing 8 games in a row before winning a game.

The same thing is happening again now that I'm trying to learn Terran. I lost 10 games before winning my first game, which was a TvT. It felt so sweet.

Once you get to about x800 or x900, the curse begins where you start to lose easy games until you are back to 3400 or so

In the beginning of the season i hit like 3400, then lost all of them back to 3000, then took me FOREVER to hit C, and now i'm having much trouble at C. Last season i was C+ and i didn't think it was that hard at all....

I just wanna ask.. I've read a very old thread but since that's too old to bump I'll just asked it here.

How can you motivate yourself to improve after a losing streak? really this sometimes gets in my head..

Like, before I played online I had some build orders that I remembered but cannot execute them very well. After I seasoned myself online (4 months) mostly I just go reactionary to opponents build order.

But now, after losing alot to my friends how are D+ and C-, I mean hell, I forgot everything I remembered because I keep on thing "when can I pass these guys performance?"

I'll just jut down some of the stuff I do when i lose.

1. Don't play too much, so I'm like so addicted to it.
2. Then I just play UMS.
3. I watched old replays to check what I did wrong.
4. Try to look for a D- that I can easily win. (LOL nony's guide to noob bashing)

Help me out, maybe you guys have other rituals that can actually help my attitude when it comes to motivation.
I don't think I've ever wished my opponent good luck prior to a game. When I play, I play to win. I hope every opponent I ever have is cursed with fucking terrible luck. I hope they're stuck playing underneath a stepladder with a black cat in attendance a

Does that mean you've never won a ZvT?
