Win. Otherwise its still a nasty losing streak.


Bahaha.

The key is to not tilt. If you tilt, go play some Nexus wars or go for a run.

i just lost a ZvT cause i went ultraling and outdid my opponent in everything, macro, micro. took out his first army, why did i lose? well he built 1 SINGLE command center inside his army of 20 fully upgraded tanks and thors.

i could do nothing.

rage was had.

i played the custom game Defend the Moon, it works wonders. i've totally forgotten the loss. but 2 days ago i had a 7 streak and what i did was just take a walk. totally forgot everything

I usually take a break for a few hours, I don't want to play 'on tilt' or whatever. Then I'll review the replays I lost and see what mistakes I made, usually do better after that.

It's never fun to lose, but imo just look at losing in a different way. Sometimes, if I want to practice vs T, I might quit a few ladder games til I get T. The point is, don't play for points or rank, but to just get better. As day9 would say, those 11 games you lost are all arrows pointing you in a different direction, or X amount of ways not to play. Even if you feel you played well and lost, you learned something. Watch your replays, find something you did wrong and improve on it. To me, improving is more fun than winning [:

losing is frustrating, so after a few loses i smoke a bowl. or ill do something physically straining.
or just distracting yourself somehow, too much SC2 can be bad.

I've found the best way to break a losing streak (no matter how bad it is) is to switch to Terran.
Platinum Level Terran - Take my advice from that perspective

1. play as terran if not already
2. pwn some zergs
3. collect zerg tears

I've found that the best way is to switch to Zerg, cause then you're allowed to say stuff like "goddamn OP terran, play a real race" or something like that Then i lie to myself that zerg is the reason i lost

Just kidding lol

Usually i just play MW2, which makes me realize how good of a game SC2 is :D

I usually stand up, start swearing like a sailor, walk around the room a bit to settle down or complain to my friends, then get back at it.

Play 3v3 or 4v4 as terran and make only +3/+3 marines + ~6 medievacs up to 200/200.

This isn't poker or some sort of activity that causes severe financial or physical health should you continue to lose. Just keep grinding away, watch replays to analyze why you are losing, and focus on keeping emotions in check. Remember it's just a game =)

Getting outside and going for a walk or hitting the gym is the best stress reducer when your raging. Getting away from the game and doing some athletic activity even if its walking and listening to a podcast. It is amazing how much it will relax you. I do not think watching your replay's until you are in the right frame of mind will do you any good. Also, try to play some non-ladder against people better than you and go in and do our best build. It will show you how the people higher are likely to counteract you, and you can start playing the chess game and start to get a move or 2 ahead of them.

I also agree stopping for more than a couple of days can be very negative as it can be amazing how quickly your skills begin to erode.
