EPTIt seems to only apply to 1vs1 with me though.
This seems to be quite common judging by the replies on this thread, I wonder if its unique to SC as i've never had these jitters in any other game.
Anyone else get really nervous playing this game? - Page 10

However for me it is not really fear of losing. I get most nervous when I feel that there is a window where I can win, because then I feel that "now I gotta do everything right, and quickly, in order to make use of this advantage and win", and I get excited about the possibility of winning of course.. So my heart starts beating too fast and I lose my calm focus. | ||

don't analyze replays or procrastinate in between games, just keep clicking that 'find match' button. you can analyze mistakes in chunks of games rather than after each one. always time to surf TL.net at work or downtime. | ||

as the more experienced people here are saying, i guess it'll fade once you got more games behind you and once your body realises that you'll loose 50-50 eventualy but cold sweaty hands and shaking muscles are not helping when you're in a pinch. makes you wonder what nature intended with that. EEP! i get attacked by a predator. i better make sure my coordination and common sense go down the toilet so i can survive. | ||

By mid-game, I'm all worried about when to stop making drones, what unit comp to be going for, when to take a 3rd expansion...etc. That said, I kinda like the nerves. Makes it more intense, victories a bit sweeter. | ||

I've got a couple build orders and scout really well, and even usually understand how to adapt to most things I see, so early-game is not too worrisome.

Makes it more intense, victories a bit sweeter. This is where most people's hearts in Starcraft rest. It's that unique, yet critical balance between nervousness, macro, and micro. When do I STOP making drones and keep making units? As soon as he pushes out? Should I build static defense and skip a bit of scv/drone/probe production or just mass units to try to counter him? Then, where does my Build Order rest in all of this? Can I delay my build order to hold off his rush or should I slip that building in to get a tech advantage over my opponent? But this thread is evidence that not everyone you play is a pro and calloused Bisu waiting to drip the life blood from every worker you have. We are all human But literally, I would SHAKE with nervousness on ANY ladder game D+ and up on Iccup the past two seasons. But for some reason, SC2 I haven't had much nervousness at all. I always remember what Day[9] said -"don't play against the player, play against the race -and their weaknesses' | ||

It also means the game is really psychological. I suppose like most sports the best players will be able to deal with not just the metal aspect of the game, but the psychological aspect of it too. Me, I just pretend everyone I'm playing against is just AI. Because, as far as I know, they are. I don't know any of them from Adam, why should I care if they beat me or not. | ||

Right now sc2 and rts gaming is new to me so I get twitchy I get nervous. I forget stupid things that you know you should have done like expand, put guys in gas, build units is a great one.. oh ya I have 5 gateways wait why do i have only 3 units in my army? Since the 2nd phase came back up I got tossed into the gold league and after a few games I jumped right up to platinum and I'm sitting at 12/12 right now which is ok for me. I'm new I am expecting to lose but I don't like losing constantly. However it's a new game for me and a lot of people and being nervous just adds to it all. There is a lot of things to learn and remember and all you can do is pick one thing to work on at a time. I've played maybe 50 1v1 games in total during this entire beta. The top guys are playing hundreds of games. They have been playing rts for years and years and when they started I bet they suffered a lot of the same things. The biggest problem with being nervous is that it makes you stressful and when you start to stress and suffer from small anxiety over the little things you forget other things because you gain gamer tunnel vision. You focus too hard on one thing or how you got beat the last game you lose your build order your smooth beginning and you lose to something else that normally you could have stopped or beaten easily if you were just calm. What I'm saying I guess is I feel where a lot of you guys are coming from and my own advice to myself is to remember that it is just a game, yes I want to get great at it, but that it's going to take a long long time. Losing is just a fact of it and at some point you will settle out in a ladder you are really comfortable in and then you can slowly work your way up. Keep hitting that look for game button folks and just enjoy it.. revel in the nerves for some day they will go away. | ||
