"You don't see the correlation between mindset and strategy?" 1. The most elite athletes are not correlated to the extraneously positive principles that you propose 2. What correlations are you talking about? 3. Correlations do not imply causality | ||

1) Be Good Manner - Oftentimes, people get so caught-up in the stress of the game that they forget to have fun. At the start of every game, don't me mute and don't be rude: put out the GL HF. 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 With start of season 2 I decided to begin every game with gl hf and always type gg before I leave. It works wonder for me as I calm down way more quickly. . Take it a step further every game by wishing your opponent the best of luck and telling him to have a blast, and leaving every game with "GG nice timing push or "GG wp, that harrass was killer, man!" If you stay good mannered, you're more likely to stay in a focused and positive mindset. Then, instead of rage-quitting and queuing another game while you're angry, you can take the reasons you lost and apply them to your game to further your growth. 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.I probably should go further and applaud my opponent if his blueflame hellions just killed 15 of my drones. Because he was not supposed to do that much damage, but he did. 3) Focus on YOUR game - How many times have you heard someone complain about how strong colossus are, how slow hydras are, or how this guy or that guy is a maphacker. Ignore this type of thinking. This is my goal for the upcoming season 3. I so need to get rid of the thinking that I need to outclass my player just because I play zerg. | ||

after i play chess, for example, i feel invigorated after i play sc, however, i feel a bit mentally physically drained. i think the macro needs to be toned down to make the game more enjoyable. i don't like button mashing my keyboard. it just makes me feel stupid. i don't like winning games because of better macro only too. anyways, i'll definitely start playing a bit again when HoTS comes out. i love the graphics by Blizzard <3 | ||

I think a great mindset coming into the game is essential, but sometimes you get mad after a few losses and just want to CRUSH the next guy you face on ladder. I dont know about the validity of the claim that it will help your game, but if everyone adopts a positive mindset it will definitely make playing games more enjoyable as people wont be as BM as they are now. | ||

Don't whine about getting cheesed. Hope for it, because that's how you learn to scout well, anti-cheese well, and just become super solid in the early game. Enough of your games, even the ones where you get cheesed, will equalize and go long for you to get practice in the endgame. Besides, cheese games are usually both action-packed and short, which IMO is perfect =) And cheese actually is great, because if you lose to a cheese you don't know how to beat, you suddenly have a fascinating puzzle to solve after the game. Woot! | ||

If you play with a positive mindset, let's say he harasses you or something. You might lose some stuff, but you hold it off. Instead of tilting and being upset about how much damage was dealt, you think about the investment that he made and how you can abuse that. When I'm playing, whenever something happens, I'm always like "Oh, okay. I just lost half my base. But I can do X to get him back..." Really helps. | ||
