Your phone rings -> skip the game You feel like you have to go to the bathroom -> skip the game You don't like your opening -> skip the game You opponent starts flaming or annoys you in any way -> skip the game You won the game but your opponent turtles or hides buildings -> skip the game once you fucked up your stats that way, you'll actually don't mind losing on the ladder. nobody gives a shit about your stats anyway. | ||

The only way to do this is to lose a lot of games. Actually, losses always help me learn more than wins. Lose a bunch of games and watch the replays. | ||

The weird thing is, I didn't have this problem in wc3. Sitting in my clan channel searching for games and chatting with my friends about my games or their games after we finish is a pretty chill environment; I could pretty much mass 1v1 all day, whether it was BNet ladder or a custom 1v1 with a clanmate. Having no chat or clan functionality in SC2 just makes me feel alone, which gives me less motivation to try to get better than others. Sure I have friends on IRC and MSN that I chat with about sc2 sometimes, but we're barely ever gathered in one place chatting and playing with eachother. This is an annoying problem and it's the reason why so many SC2 players watch streams/replays and read forums ten times more than they actually play. Chat channels may not be the only reason we often hesitate to click the "Play Game" button, but it's certainly a contributing factor. | ||

In fact, the people that will eventually be at the top of their division will never be promoted. They'll be ~50% win record (in other words, be where they're supposed to be) and just accumulating points through mass games. Don't worry, you can be promoted from 100th place in a division (theoretically, practically it'd have to be a really unique division for that to happen) or from 1st, it doesn't matter. Just play. The rest will take care of itself. | ||

Of course you want to keep game sound on to warn of attacks/other game events. | ||

I've also felt this way before when I was actually in beta. I was worried that I was going to be stuck in copper forever. After playing numerous matches, as well as watching a ton of replays, I ended up getting out of Copper and into Gold before beta ended. When the game released, I played rather shitty during my placement matches and landed in Bronze. I was deathly afraid to play because I started to doubt that I was any good to begin with. I then started having the mentality that kyama was talking about, just basically not giving a fuck about what rank I was in and play my game. I rolled through Bronze players, like I thought I would, and spent only a night in Silver before getting bumped back into Gold. Now I'm playing low Plat players, exactly where I feel I should be. I would have never gotten to that point if I hadn't just thrown caution to the wind, let my hair down, take off my top and whip it around... err.. well... you get what I'm trying to say. Good luck. Have fun. | ||

It is VERY important that you decide before match what strategy you will employ. Pick Protoss as race and do 4-gate all-in's. Its the most powerful all-in. Grab some replays of good players like HuK and copy. Practice it first against computer or custom games with n00bs or whatever until you feel you can do it blindfolded. It's all I do and now I'm in Diamond. ( This is probably the story of many Protoss Diamond League players lol. ) | ||
