I think only humans being assholes is the only thing that can really piss me off in a game, any game that is,lets say the guy goes 5 pool in BW,thats not being an asshole, thats being scared. If some guys are trying to ruin your gaming experience in MOST multiplayer games out there, THOSE are ASSHOLES. but yeah im not at a level where im in tournaments all the time and have any rivals or anything like that (YET), since i dont BM, just glhf and gg out on 1v1.. its pretty smooth sailing to me! says it all Good luck, have fun, the game is good.. play more, i love starcraft P.S: If money is on the line, the data up above is garbage ;p | ||

This would make learning the game a lot more "controllable," and maybe less stress/fearful like USn was saying. that's what custom game and TL's practice thread are for  | ||

This thread gave me a pretty big sigh of relief though. Looks like I'm just going to have to power games until I finally get over this. | ||

I watch so many replays and VODs, constantly thinking to myself exactly what the next move should be, following the strats of these amazing players and even predicting what they'll do next with pretty good accuracy. But when I'm finally looking at the queue screen, I just feel this need to go do something else, or to go watch more replays, because I'm *just not ready yet*. It might also be that I've had exceptionally good win/loss ratios so far, mostly from fighting sub-par players in Plat/Diamond, and I'm afraid to spoil it. Completely stupid since it's all getting reset in two weeks anyways. This thread gave me a pretty big sigh of relief though. Looks like I'm just going to have to power games until I finally get over this. I feel exactly the same way! (I think I've watched every VOD available in English, and some in different languages as well!) | ||

I'm a nervous wreak when playing, even when I'm winning..... so. I guess it's go away in time. I'll just have to find a practice partner until I feel a little more at home. | ||

Anyways, my worst fears came true, and I end up playing rank 5 and above diamond players. I lost 5 games in a row, and got quite angry. However, after getting humiliated I managed to calm down and my nervousness went away. I'm now sitting at rank 10 diamond, which I feel is right where I should be in order to improve. | ||

When I started playing SC after playing once or twice and getting into it (with Day9's help) I found myself having tons of fun. The game was by far my favorite thing to do. But suddenly I would find myself internet surfing instead because the game was too scary. I couldn't handle the heat. And then I won my first game, ever. I couldn't stop shaking for half an hour afterwards ^^. The anxiousness I used to have has mostly dissipated. I still like to play Custom Games and Team Games a lot as the pressure is practically non-existent but everyonce awhile, i remember my will to beat someone and go straight for the 1v1. Unfortunately, when I started Phase Two, I won all 5 of my placements for 1v1, 2v2 and every game of FFA I played. I just played a real game today and was utterly crushed. Ouch, but i'll keep trying! | ||

. Actually the feeling kind of fades away after the match starts and I start playing but when queuing and before pushing the play button, I have that really nervous and uneasy feeling... Kind of keeping me from starting the games even though I could play just fine. | ||

Sounds lame but it really really helps with anxiety as it burns away alot of stress, I'm not talking a full work out just a set of something. Generally I have a rotation of stuff if I'm doing a large bout of games. This. Although I don't exercise between games, I usually play my best after lifting weights and burning off that extra stress. | ||
