But its mostly because i enter the game with the following mentality "This guy is fucking trash and im going to rape him" Then when i lose it causes me to rage  Haha same. The rage is the only thing I remember when playing SC2 because when I win, I just give a sigh of relief and move on to the next game. When I rage, it's done with more passion and I just stop playing altogether for a while. | ||

i really feel like the only trick to fight that is play alot of games,first, when u play a good amount of games u obviously gonna lose 1 or 2 games (unless you playing custom games) and thats when the stress just leaves my body, after my first lost i really can just focus on the game. but yeah, i always get nervous when i open up starcraft 2 and didnt play that day of course. | ||

2v2 3v3 1v1 4v4 FFA In 2v2 and 3v3 you are held accountable for your mistakes by your teammate, adding to the pressure. 1v1 you put the pressure on yourself and 4v4 is usually so much going on no one notice youo screwing up.  FFA with no ladder and crazy tactics, just takes off all the pressure. | ||

The only way to overcome the fear is just to keep playing though... | ||

Keep in mind that if the MatchMaking system works as stated/intended, all players will lose 50% of the time, and win 50% of the time. See if you can beat the system, but don't worry too much. Keep practicing. You can watch a million games of basketball, but you still can't dunk if you've never practiced it. Same goes for sC2. | ||

And what's even more weird is I have a very high stress job and I have many adrenaline packed hobbies (mma, cliff jumping, racing, etc) and yet I still get that rush from playing SC2. Takes a pretty amazing game to do that. You are not alone! | ||

1. i just want to get better and losing is better then winning 2. i remember a nada quote in that documentary thing, and he said something like "to be good you have to hate losing, but you can't be afraid of losing" | ||

I expect to lose every game, so that helps a little. Pestimmism FTW? | ||

Then I turn up the music and sing to it to take my mind off it. Plus, that's a really good excuse for losing. "Heh, I wasn't concentrating anyways..." | ||
