Its not worth arguing buddy. Anyone with a brain can read your original post and see you mean well. I agree it was good advice albeit very general.

Honestly its not worth your time arguing.

His debut SC2 match in Proleague vs a protoss.

I don't know how I manage to see Greg in everything I read, but this passage from a Q&A with former MBCGame captain Sea[Shield] resembled Greg's current situation really good.

Question by @486202
You've been a player for a long time. Has there ever been a time where it was so difficult that you wanted to give up? I'm also curious how you overcame that time.

Answer
I make a teasing joke about how I'm going to quit every once in a while, but there has been one time where I seriously thought about quitting. When I was slumping in the middle of the 08-09 season, I seriously considered quitting. I guess when you keep on losing, you start thinking of it a lot more. But as time passed and I ended my losing streak, it went away naturally.

If I had to recommend a way to overcome a slump, it's to win a game. It's an instant cure for a progamer. But there are cases were it becomes a poison. After you win once you feel great and you go "I must be a progamer for this feeling", but it doesn't last. You fall into a depressing atmosphere when you lose again.

I want to advise the players who are in a losing streak to think positively. It's not important how many games you have been losing, but I think what's important is how you hold yourself together. If you think positively, you can overcome it.


Fun sidenote, Greg really looks up to Sea and claims that he would have become a "royal roader" (when a person qualifies for his/her first Starleague and they manage to get themselves to the finals of the tournament) if the Defiler's dark swarm spell hadn't been so broken. :D

Wow, hopefully he reads that. That pretty much sums it up. Obviously he knows this, but sometimes seeing shit like this just makes it hit home. Great find :-)

Actually, I'm pretty sure it was just a guy hired by EG, not that Greg went alone to one. So they probably explained that these are e-athletes and not real athletes when they got him. (if not, that'd be pretty lol)

The same concepts would apply either way though, but I guess it would be kind of awkward

Sports psychology is much more a specific angle regarding how psychology plays in on performance, competetiveness etc.

It basically handles correlation between mental state and performance, it really has nothing to do with ''sports'' but rather what people do in sports, the field can be applied to others (not in sports) aswell


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sport_psychology

However it would be fun if a psychiatrist with traditional clients from exclusively football would suddenly have greg at his doorstep. But psychiatrists in esport is (what I know) far from new

How is this related to Idra in any way? XD I think many say that zerg seems weak,and that Flash says Protoss is OP. I am an incredibly unreliable source though,so I dunno,really >_>
