Admittedly played pretty terrible, no denying that - 1st game on Akilon I felt I micro'd good and such, but I focus too much on the things that don't really matter.

After watching the rep on Bel'shir he obviously knew how I played (he sent 2 probes not just 1 to 2 different proxy locations that I often use on my stream).
The fact that I did what I did, trying a proxy even though all the information is out there is probably dumb.
I also tried a relatively old build on whirlwind - as I often lose to all ins when CC firsting on that map.

I think what I truly need is time away - to recuperate and refresh my mind. The game for me was extremely easy and fun, but I think I'm relying on fundamentals I shouldn't have to rely on, and should be able to enter the games clean, fresh with builds that work, strategies that work - instead I manage to put myself behind and try work from the comeback angle.

I do not enjoy losing, nor does anyone - Being told early this morning my initial opponent had changed from Desrow to SWS was quite boggling, and he probably knew my style already (not probably ).

I don't know if I need time away to refresh, a small break? I honestly do not know. I'm a troubled man. I've tried to hold the flag for terrans for a long time strategically always trying to be ahead of the curve. Right now I'm anything but ahead, and honestly I don't really know how to catch up again.
