when i played my first online rts game i was shaking so hard of nervousness that i couldnt click anything. :p

10 years and thousands of starcraft games later the nervousness slowly disappeared, however im still nervous if i play someone good / in a tourney. guess im not made for competitive rts^^

Also, remember that the rest of your family/friends aren't on your adrenaline high so don't get impatient with them for asking you to, lets say, help find their iPod docking chord.


LOL! Totally on point right there.

I am still getting to worked up when playing, my girlfriend teases me for breathing like a mofo when I am getting into it. But then, so does Gretorp, so its np.

This is pretty common. After a couple hundred 1v1's the nervousness goes away pretty much. Just don't drink a ton of caffeine while you play and realize that you are going to lose half your games no matter what you do.


This is so true, except I lost almost all my games (in brood war of course)
in sc2 not so bad, I have like a 60% win rate.

Just remember that White-Ra has lost more games than you'll probably ever even play, and that being a bad Starcraft player doesn't mean your a bad person.

Being nervous is totally normal and will pass. I worry about the rage-ers, though. Rage is not a good thing; it doesn't help you, and it doesn't help the people who you play with. When you rage, you're like a dementor, sucking enjoyment out of the world. If you're not having fun, man, play something else.





Yeah. I do think people seen to be raging for no reasons. People think that the other player cheesing is a good reason to rage, but its not! If you want to improve, i think you have to above all else, have fun.
I get really upset when losing to a cheese too, but when we lose, its always our fault, so no reason to rage.

Im dont cheese by the way, but i see no problem at it.


that's a big reason why RTS has so little appeal compared to cod and dota etc. you can't blame anyone but yourself when you lose (which you will), and people feel inadequate when they cant go undefeated or blame allies.

It's lame, my nose starts to run and my eyes get a little watery when I get competitive on any game. I used to think of it as "Video Game Sickness" when I would go to arcades and play fighting games.

Get a cup of tea, a cigarette if u smoke and make a 2 hour time of your life only to play 1x1 games...

I did that for the very first time after 2 or 3 months of playing in the beta... and it felt awesome...
I lost 4 or 5 games in a row, and then i won 3 or 4 games, then i lost other 4 games, and then i won other 2 or 3 games, and finally i started to get it... the strats that worked...
i watched my failures in my replays and i repeated them into myself
"JESUS SUPPLY CAP! DONT FORGET SUPPLIES "
" JESUS U FORGOT SCV's!! DONT FORGET SCV's!"
" Omfg Jesus christ, that rally point was failure! DONT DO THAT"

And after that u might feel comfortable with your gameplay...
Now is funny how i play every game feeling like i WILL WIN!... it doesn't matter if i loose badly, but i feel i'm the freaking winner and try not to miss any clicks...

When it gets to late games is really hard to understand your mistakes, because in late game there are MANY options that you COULD have done to win "X" Minutes before you lost.

Just sit down, turn off ur celphone, close your door, nobody bothers you, and play for straight 1 hour or 2 hours without stopping for nothing but watching your losses and just THINK about starcraft 2, the strat, the unit composition, the possible rushes, the possible counters... those are the main things i think during the loading screen.
In the beginning there was nothing... and then exploded
