My question is, whats the best way to get back on track after a major losing streak? I suddenly don't feel like playing ladder at all, like I need to wait for some zerg buffs or something, but I'm pretty sure I just need to regain some confidence . . what do you guys usually do?
How do you deal with a slump?

						 watch jaedong rape face for 20 minutes. You should be good to go. Don't lose heart at all, every game you join you should be ready to win. don't let a losing streak get to you. I regularly streak wins and losses you just have to deal with it. | ||

						 Or you can be passive about it... play some customs with friends, play a 4v4RT to shift your focus from your record to having fun | ||

						 Just calmly think over your mistakes and criticize yourself what you did wrong or could have done better and play a new game. Some people just stop playing for 1 hour or go play some other game or watch a movie to keep their heads cool and then ladder. All in all you'd find that just not losing your head is the summarized answer of all replies (most likely  ). | ||

						 Normally I just watch some vods of other people, watch streams and look around on forums. I could reccommend TaKeSen's stream on ESLtv tonight. Its in german so you might not understand it, but for those who do its quite a nice thing to watch =). | ||

						 unless you know why you lost when you lost then you don't know, and if you don't know then you need to watch replays. you either lost because of macro / micro / unit type etc, find out why and do better next time. | ||

						 Keep practicing and dont pay too much attention to ur record, being in a losing streak its understandable cuz theres not such thing as winning every single game and having a 100% win ratio also that was just a bad day u had probably either way go back to ur replays and try to find out where u went wrong and fix it next time, try to improve ur game by learning from ur replays and keep practicing | ||

						 1. get a sturdy plastic bottle, I use empty SoBe Lifewater Bottles. 2. Bottle in hand, get a good stance, legs about shoulder-width apart. 3. Take a good solid step forward with your non-dominant foot and throw the bottle as hard as you fucking can against the wall. There don't you feel better now? Take a 10 minute break then go own some noob face. edit: it also helps if you add in some SPARTAAAAA as you throw it | ||
