Mementoss Canada2595 Posts July 18 2011 01:18 GMT #41 Cool post I enjoyed it . Most people will be quick to not believe in this sort of thinking or after trying it blaming future success solely on more traditional reasons for getting better such as practicing. This type of thinking not only applies for SC2 but for any competitive sport or goal you are trying to achieve, especially in long term circumstances such as a tournament etc.

AirbladeOrange United States2574 Posts July 18 2011 01:20 GMT #42 I think that thinking positively is highly underrated in all aspects of life. Some people refer to this as the law of attraction, but whatever it is I believe it to be true. Taking it to the extreme and making it work 100% of the time is not practical at all though.

Zariel Australia1285 Posts July 18 2011 01:27 GMT #43 Well I think being confident at your level of play is good enough for me. However, I always fall into my own little trap that I'm always economically behind, it's just I'm always afraid my enemy has expanded like 3 times whenever I don't scout them often enough.

pHelix Equilibria United States1134 Posts July 18 2011 01:29 GMT #44 This was rather very interesting. Yeah, countless games I would go on a losing streak and play bad or go all in to lose as the streak builds. Staying positive mindset and thinking its a game really goes all long way. Especially there was this image of Idra v. RuFF where idra was like something about stupid builds, and ruFF responds with "Just a game, son" Really made my day. One cause Idra's rage and really because Ruff said it right. The clear majority plays for fun and when you get into the competitive heat it really makes you lose sight that when it comes down to it, its a game.

Mr Showtime United States1353 Posts July 18 2011 01:37 GMT #46 Well put! Probably should be in a different forum, so hopefully it's moved rather than removed.

TangSC Canada1866 Posts July 18 2011 01:43 GMT #47 You might be right, Mr Showtime, I don't think the post follows all the guidelines of a strategy post. Even so, I know beyond reasonable doubt that players looking to improve their strategical SC2 thinking will benefit from mindset analysis and I hope it'll remain on those grounds!

Exists United States32 Posts July 18 2011 01:48 GMT #48 Great post man. I always used to rage and curse people out if im losing but after reading this I feel like im in a way better mind set in games. Thanks and keep it up.

Ry-Masta-T United States478 Posts July 18 2011 01:58 GMT #49 It's never an excuse to blame a loss on cheese. Calling it "no skill" or "unscoutable" isn't acceptable either. Your mission is to play the game you're given better than your opponent. If you need to put up an instant spine crawler every game to defend cheese, then fucking do it. There's no valid excuse to ever not gg or bm, unless of course your opponent starts it with some "wow zerg so bullshit," then by all means, lay into them.

Vexas United States98 Posts July 18 2011 02:10 GMT #50 Very good post OP. Thank you for this. :3 Gl and Hf!

Zariel Australia1285 Posts July 18 2011 02:25 GMT #51 I don't mind getting cheesed here and there. They are the games that helps me with crisis management and multitasking, I got to remember a few things: 1) Build combat units 2) Decide to cut probes, or keep making (depending on severity of cheese) 3) Adapt to the situation - ie: adjust build order, such as putting down a 2nd/3rd gate or forge earlier than usual, delay/prioritize other things. 4) Decide on the amount of probes to pull to defend (ie: learn to be clutch!), too little you lose everything, too much and you sacrifice your econ. 5) Keep my supply unblocked 6) Scout

TangSC Canada1866 Posts July 18 2011 02:28 GMT #52 Ry-Masta-T, that's a very good way of thinking of things man. I agree with what you say, haha sometimes I rage at people who are very bm...I'll admit to that offence! If a guy is flying his one barracks after you roach/ling and kill all his buildings for example, I throw out the premature gg

SC2Epic United States25 Posts July 18 2011 02:55 GMT #53 I absolutely love this post, thank you for it! SO many players have such negative mindsets and it sets people back terribly. I consider myself a somewhat calm mannered person, and tend to stay in a decent mindset during all games, but when my mindset slips and I get mad over something or frustrated, I really do notice myself playing at a sub-par level because of it. I have had the exact same thoughts about Idra, if he could keep his cool I believe that he would get MUCH farther in tournaments and everything else. On another note: BM just ruins the game for some people, or is just plain unnecessary. If you're in a bad mood, or angry about the GAME just remember that it's a game for fun, no need to trash talk and rage over it. GL HF and GG's should always be used ^^

lollyz 218 Posts July 18 2011 03:36 GMT #55 Great post, thx : )

yarkO Canada810 Posts July 18 2011 03:46 GMT #56 I think #3 is really one of the biggest keys to success. Coming in with a game plan and sticking to it makes playing so much less stressful. So yeah, play YOUR game and you'll be surprised how often it works out. I mean, we make plans (builds) for a reason, right?

ETisME 12700 Posts July 18 2011 05:17 GMT #57 rather than being confident, I would say staying a clear mind is much more useful. It helps a lot more when you are under pressure

Jumbled 1543 Posts July 18 2011 05:22 GMT #58 You now have two threads of questionable usefulness on the strategy forum aimed at promoting your youTube channel. Please don't make any more.

TangSC Canada1866 Posts July 18 2011 05:32 GMT #59 Another important thing I didn't mention in my original post is people will always try to bring you down. Don't let them

nvs. Canada3609 Posts July 18 2011 05:36 GMT #60 Motivating little read. I try to apply these ideas as often as possible but sometimes they slip away from me after dying to a cannon rush or proxy gates etc. I'll have to try to keep these in mind no matter what. ^^
