EPTI get nervous myself but then I just tell myself that if I lose or win it doesn't really matter because based on my fundamental skill level I will be where I belong to be anyway.

When you lose, quickly rage quit (might wanna include some bm here) and mash your mouse button really fucking hard and fast on the multiplayer and search button while cussing out b.net 2 for being so god damn slow and ignore the replay and stat screen. It's worked for me so far, but I do get a lot of losing streaks... LOL, that is the quintessential Starcraft player. This happens to me as well, but as I've been playing more games each loss grows more and more insignificant and I generally feel less anxiety about playing matches. I'm now at about 70 games played and I don't really fear losing at all. In fact sometimes I'm glad I lost, because those games allow me to focus more on what I did wrong. When you win, sometimes it can be difficult to look at what you could have done to be better. So my advice would be fight through it, it gets easier.  Watching replays after your matches is great for calming yourself down and getting better at the game. | ||

And the super thing about this is if you became really somebody in sc2 scene you will keep your modesty, you won't be come an ego monster...... really try this. | ||

seriously though i hate playing 1v1... I feel really bad when I win. Like guilty, for making the other guy lose. Well, not always. friendly matches are different though. | ||

I know the OPs pain all too well having experienced it through SC1 and Wc3, but it's way different with Starcraft2 because no matter how good you are the game will always even you out to around 50-60% win ratio, so unless you're in the top 0.1% of players who just beat everyone your record is going to get roughly the same amount of wins and losses no matter how well you play. | ||

What helped me was realizing a couple of things - You are the only one who gives a shit about your ranking. - You are only afraid to lose because your ego makes you afraid so to speak. You need to just not give a shit about that and look at the game as a game, not as something to inflate your ego with. Also, two techniques: - Sit down one day and play a shitload of games. Just tell yourself that you will play for 4-6 hours straight 1v1 and just go for it. You will lose, and you will lose several times, but it will help loosen you up. - Practice another race ON THE LADDEr. This helped me so much. I switched from Z to P just a few days ago, and I just said to hell with it, told everyone I was playing P now and just going directly on the ladder. You will get your ass kicked, but you won't care so much and you will begin to take your ladder score less seriously. This helped me tremendously | ||
