losing is necessary for getting better, but it does nothing for you by itself. you need to lose and then understand what you did wrong and then not make the mistake again.

I can usually see/feel why I'm losing during the game.


Same here, but I always look at the replay in high speed afterwards to see if there is anything I missed.

But you aren't going to improve if you win. When I win I am just satisfied. When I lose I am not angry, but I want to try harder and improve.
Yeah, i know the feeling. I am always like, RE, or if its on iccup, I'll hunt down another opponent. I'm lame ^^


LOL yes I always try to end my nights on a win. Some nights this is impossible since it sets of the combination of getting more tired makes me play worse plus it is the correct time for all opponents to be Korean so the general level of play is higher..

Play whoever you want. If you want to become strong you know who to play, if you want to show off you know who to play too. Pretty useless thread imho.

The only suggestion I can give you about getting better is to play both ladder and bnet games and go to as many lans as possible. These are all different environments and help you improving in different aspects.
