Usually I'll play a few custom 1v1 games to shake the nerves before doing some ladder - seems to really take the edge off and calm the nerves. | ||

I know nothing will fix that but practice, but I do think sometimes the vets of a game like this forget what its like to not just be new to the game, but also new the *genre.* I can read TL all day long and watch every great video out there, but its like if I tried to get into the FPS genre by watching frag videos when I wasn't even comfortable using WASD to move. | ||

Once i get the basic's down I'll be okay and then I can start to get better. Something interesting from a lecture I heard the other day: Fear isn't caused by risk or even perceived risk, but by a perceived lack of control. When people are in a situation where they don't know what to do, they feel fear strongly even if the risks are clearly low - the opposite is also true, if you know what to do you don't feel much fear even in a seriously dangerous situation. So the best way to remove fear is just training people so they don't feel helpless. | ||

So the best way to remove fear is just training people so they don't feel helpless. This man speaks the truth. To get rid of the fear, learn some standard builds, practice them a few times against the computer then just do it on the ladder. The fear should decrease, then adapt what you do from games to games and just take notes when you lose : if he does that I must do this and then force yourself to try it next time. Overall you must be in a mind state of trying to get better and not winning. Therefore you should avoid bad cheesy tactics and focus on one race. Be in the mental state of someone that is training to play soccer, the ladder is a training ground not a tournament there is nothing to lose. | ||

This is actually really good advice, kind of gives you a bit of a personal challenge. I'm usually pretty relaxed about playing this game, but man, when I take many marijuana drugs I'm extremely relaxed. Probably too relaxed. | ||

Though when I played Melee competitively back in the good days, I would get nervous either when I'm playing a well known player in tournament, or playing deep in the tournament with lots of people watching. I remember playing against Chillin at FC6 for the South vs. East Crew Match, I was first and he lined up first for East, I was sooo nervous the entire match since at least 30-40 people were watching, it definitely affected my performance. I actually got 2 stocks ahead but then blew the match. Still very angry at my choking back then | ||
