The first game every day is very nervous time for me. I really can't control the nerves but I try not to avoid pushing that find match button--that I can control. Its nice to have that feeling, really.

I got this feeling so bad the first 20 or so games. It was exhilarating when I won in a way that it isn't anymore unless it was a very close game.

It wasn't as bad as when I used to play Diplomacy in BW, I would usually do really good but I would be incredibly on edge the entire game so I rarely played.

I got so used to losing when I first started the beta that I no longer get nervous playing. Lol. So losing seems to be the best cure. XD

I have this fear in a lot of 1v1 games, especially SC and chess. It's something everyone has to get used to.

Practice makes perfect. Once you lose a couple thousand games, its not as big of a deal. But I completely know were you are coming from. Its quite nerve wracking early game until people settle into their pattern.

right now im at the stage where i do get nervous. my way to try and cure it is to just force myself to play game after game and practice my build orders a lot in the tester map so even when im nervous my openings become just muscle memory. ill let you know how it works

I lose most of my games (I'm a real bad bronze player). So I'm not nervous at all, because I'm gonna lose anyways :-) But it's still soo much fun! One day Î'm gonna be Diamondleague ... maybe in 2014 :D

I enjoy the feeling of fear coursing through my veins as the blood in my body runs red hot. Do not turn away from Starcraft due to the intensity, embrace it.

I have the same problem if I want to ladder a lot and having a bad start. I'm getting really angry when I'm loosing games out of stupid mistakes and then throwing away even another game where something like bad micro went wrong out of my unfocused anger.

I used to shake so badly I could only do a few 1v1s a day before being tired lol. Shaky hands made for a really hard time to control.

Now it's a normal I hope I didn't miss anything, but I'm going to bash his face in now attitude. Just play more games. Hell, get placed in bronze just for confidence kicks and slowly play games to work your way up.

Only time I ever got nervous ever was when I was one game away from getting C rank for the first time on iccup (and C- I guess a few seasons prior).

Anyone here that gets nervous before games also get nervous on your first time with a new girl? I think the two might be related and be some form of performance anxiety disorder.

I know the feeling. Sometimes after playing a couple of games i get to stressed up so i´ve got to take a break:/ Spose with more experience that nervous feeling will go away. On the other hand, if i wasen´t that nervous while playing, wonder if it would be the same amount of fun..

I tend to get nervous too, but only in 1v1. Mentally I am pretty stable, but physically I get signs of nervousness and anxiety.

I don't know how to control it!

I felt this at the beginning.

Now I only feel this when there is money on the line.
