Things will start getting better soon that must be such a random first session "Oh hey my name is Greg Fields, I am in need of a sports psychologist" "Oh okay. So what sport do you play?" "Starcraft 2" "..." | ||

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 | ||

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

But psychiatrists in esport is (what I know) far from new | ||

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 >_> | ||
