i heard tasteless say this on the GSL a long long time ago.
"in world of warcraft you level your account up. in starcraft you level yourself up."
leagues and divison are just your account that blizzard has prettied up for you to encourage you to play more for whatever reason. listen to tasteless though. forget about your account. it's meaningless. level yourself up and your account will follow suit.
|
these are pretty much all things I do, aside from working out in between games, i go to the gym for that~flexes~. Honestly when I coach lower league players I tell them to not even worry about "imbalance" because in the grand scheme of things your personal QQ of the unit composition you were beat by is a very small minor thing to improving your play. I have also noticed if you play a smaller amount of games in a day you are much more prepared to play your A game for those few games that you do play, whereas if you grind a ton out in a day, you may become more susceptible to tilt and start to all in or cheese in situations where you shouldn't. Stay positive, and always NEVER EVER BM your opponent, accept your loss like a man and shut the fuck up and move on. Have some class.

I agree, I've had a history of not always being the best mannered and ever since I started I've performed miraculously well.

I do: anything that improves your skills and/or winrate should be in the strategy section.

Thanks Darth, I would actually argue that since mind is so related to your in-game performance, this type of approach to the game will help anyone improve their skills...not to mention build more respectful relationships and have more fun overall.

Rage screws u up.. period.. Agree with TS points. U gotta stay positive, i have nvr loss a game where i tink positive, esp after constant destruction of expansions (im zerg)

If he doesn't respond, that's fine - you're probably in a more positive mindset and now you know you have that edge over him - so smile to yourself 
That actually seems quite insane. Maniacal laughter will be the common result  Though, that's cool in it's own way. I support the idea of being a sportive player. I don't believe in code though, I stopped Kendo because it was all too much about code and not about winning. For a game to be fun there must at least be some level of competetivity. That said, I do always greet my opponent, wish him/her gl hf and at the end of a game I credit them for their win or I say they were a worthy opponent. If they were not a worthy opponent, I don't say anything at all, because almost anything you say then may 'sound' sarcastic because the way chat works without seeing a face.

I wouldn't say I've never lost a game when in a positive mindset LOL but it definitely keeps me calmer and more focused.

i think you're slightly overdoing it it some parts but great post nevertheless, especially considering the whole sc2 community needs to manner up a bit.

Agreed, It is a good post but I think anything past the first couple posts is redundant and not necessary. Before Sc2 came out commentators like Diggity talked about how great the starcraft community was in comparison to any other games and how they would like to see maintain the respect and well manners towards other players. This came up because the starcraft community would grow with the release of starcraft2 and many people did not want to see that community turn into those like DoTa or other FPS where trash talking was apart of your teams strat. No GG, No skill.

In general, beign nice and such makes life more enjoyable. More Gg, more skill.

GGing every game is arguably the hardest skill in SC2, especially when you lost to a 6-pool or dt's or something along those lines. Just gotta keep your head, and later you will look back on that game and go "You know what, I did the right thing".
Unless your oponnent is a BMer in which case a gg wp is the best counter to a GTFO noob. Guarentees more rage on his end and since you blocked communications you will feel peaceful.

Really? Personally I always gg when I lose, and I have never gotten mad at losing no matter what kind of ridiculous reaper cheese or whatnot; I think zvp is a lot harder than gging every game

Personally I always gg when I lose, and I have never gotten mad at losing no matter what kind of ridiculous reaper cheese or whatnot; I think zvp is a lot harder than gging every game  This is one of those situational things, I gg' in custom games, and in tournaments, but not all the time on ladder. In no way is this because I am mad, or I am raging, or frustrated, or even if 'he doens't deserve a gg' (yes I have heard that before). I simply do not type in ranked games. If someone says 'hi' or 'gl hf' then yes I type 'hihi' or 'u2' or 'gl hf' as well, but with my experience if they say anything other then that they are cheesing 70% of the time. This is something I have just learned to ignore, I don't read what they type to me in a ladder game and I dont expect them to read what I type so I just don't type. If it was a very close game or very well played then I message after game and say well played. I've never had someone msg me afterwards about it or accusing me of being bm, I'm sorry if that is what it seems like, I just simply don't talk after the first min of a ranked gam :/

will take note thanks for the tips (Y)

Also, you shouldn't be blaming your opponent's strategy when they beat you. Your strategy should be tried and true, versatile enough to deal with anything they throw at you...that's the point! Refining your skills not criticizing others.

All around great guide. Positive outlook is overlooked but it's important. Thanks for that quick reminder ♥
|
Generally I don't gg unless i thought it actually was a good game, i think a lot of EU players have this mentality compared to US, from playing on both servers US seem to gg more, but when EU people gg they more commonly talk about the game after etc. Otherwise I agree with everything, playing when your in a bad mood makes you play so bad being able to get yourself into a positive mindset, especially if you started out stressed or annoyed or something, is a real great skill to have.

great tips, the hardest part it trying to be polite to cheesers and all inners. Have to work on that part of my game ^^
|
Hey hey! I follow a lot of this. It really helps me stay chipper when I play, and not get too down. I know I can improve, and I try to, but sometimes I just suck. That's my fault, and none else's, so why bm or get down about it? Fix it, and move on. And remember:
IT'S A GAME! YOU PLAY IT TO HAVE FUN! :D
