I'm going to bookmark this and reference it every now. During ladder matches, I often times get so worked up into winning, that I lose sight of my goals while my heart flutters during match-ups. It's just silly. Win/ratio shouldn't mean anything; it's your experience and transitioning into a better gamer that matters most.

What an amazing OP, i already wrote some goals now and this is definitely going to help me rage less and play more, and have way more fun. I always had this approach when i played\trained for other things(sports) but up until know have avoided it when it came to SC2 for some weird reason.

Wow so much insight in this one post. Thank you so much op.

I definitely had those "in the zone" moments while i was playing counterstrike a few years ago and it felt just great. I played for hours and hours and there was only me and the game. If i remember correct i sadly never achieved this state in a clanwar. Maybe because 4 other guys were screaming in battlecom ^^

This is a lot of help. I've had some freaky psychological thing the last few weeks where I can't bring myself to play more than one 1v1 in a day. After reading this I feel like I can go mass game on the ladder without much worry. Thanks a lot.

Good timing for me. I've felt some anxiety while laddering after I lost my first match, but I pushed forward and my most recent game I felt the flow. I'll be reading this from time to time. Thanks!

That's a great distillation of the best parts of stoicism in my opinion.

Very interesting... Usually these charts you find online are just jokes, but this is actually cool to study

It's quite accurate!
Yes, when I first got to diamond (platinum) by steamrolling 5 bronze players in beta I felt very anxious because my skill was low.. so it wasn't very fun at all. Now when I got to diamond in retail it's more of an arousal = a bit stressing but not in the negative way

Had the same when I played Tribes 2 competitively and after almost 5 years of playing, knowing pretty much the entire game inside out, winning tournaments all over Europe, one day, one particular ladder match, I felt then I was in complete and total control of everything. And played the best match I've ever had. Lucky I even had a replay of it! Splendid feeling.

Great post.

I also bookmarked this. Good read when you feel really down after a losing streak..

This is a must read. Are there any other threads like this, that deal with mentality? There was one about Sun-Tzu, but that one was kind of obvious.

Between this and the MULE dance dance dance video I can usually turn around any losing streak.
