At least you don't suggest cleaning out your ears so you don't miss a workers under attack message. That's the only positive thing I can say so I'll leave this post at that. | ||

 b. you find out what your strengths. Reinforcing your strengths is just as important as reducing mistakes and also goes farther when it comes to developing your own play style (as opposed to just a flawless but predictable and generic play style). | ||

The man is a helpful player who has definitely guided many noobs such as myself in the right direction. I'd love to see what you guys have done to contribute to the community/players, beyond attempting to completely shut down this topic with your accusations of its credibility. EDIT: And to clarify, I am referring to posters such as Probe1, who only joined in on the discussion to add NOTHING of value or even of positivity, only a pretty thin post specifically designed to berate Tang and his thread. I seriously don't see how your post is of any greater (or even EQUAL) value than the OP. | ||

If you stay good mannered...instead of rage-quitting...And who knows, maybe that player to whom you showed respect in your gracious exit from the game will provide you with a couple tips and practice games to really help you overcome that flaw in your game.

Cheese is a part of the game, you can't get rid of it but you can be adequately prepared for it. On July 18 2011 05:38 TangSC wrote: 4) Be Healthy - ...I have celiac disease...I've paid very careful attention to what I eat and I feel and play the better for it...you WILL notice a difference in your stamina if you're in better shape. Something I do frequently is workout in between games...Get the blood flowing and the heart racing in between games I agree. I feel like this is good and applicable advice that is often overlooked for not only Starcraft but for any competition(s). It used to work for me competing in wrestling and some of the dumbest loses I have taken in both could have been avoided by following the advice in the OP. 1. Being well mannered in games have, for me, not only led to getting advice about the game but to making practice partners at my skill level. As is true for anything you do, "perfect practice makes perfect." If you are well mannered and helpful you will inevitably make friends of those who are also well mannered and willing to help you. 2. In competitions I rarely talked to myself aloud but in my head I used to either get a song stuck or talk to myself about, well, anything. It calms the nerves and allows for better and faster performance. Getting angry or nervous leads to making momentous mistakes. 3. Everybody hates cheese, but if you get cheesed follow tang's advice. For all you know you might be able to refine your opening build order and make it stronger. 4. This is probably the most important part of the OP. I find that after playing 4 or 5 matches in a row that my apm dips, i miss larvae injects, etc. Getting your blood flowing means more oxygen to your brain and you'll pay better attention. Thanks for the post! | ||

And that doesn't mean they're happy, it means they're fully aware that the only way previous games can affect their next game is if they allow it to. [edit] Mind you, I'm assuming these players are identical otherwise. Obviously if you're drunk as fuck and thats the reason you're losing you're more likely to keep losing, but it has nothing to do with how positively you're thinking. Going on tilt is not the same as failing to think positively. Sorry to say but Kzn is right. It looks like you believe in "the secret" book lolllll. But I agree to the Topic that if you try to be good mannered every game , it will improve your play , since you will go less on tilt. | ||

I especially loved your last point though: be healthy. I usually don't eat healthy, but every once in a while after eating spinach with my dinner or something, I feel a lot better, a lot more optimistic, and my brain works a lot faster. Being healthy has a direct impact on your performance. | ||
