Before you guys hate on me, weed doesn't dull my reflexes - it sharpens them. When I get "zoned in" my entire muscle memory becomes in tune with the Starcraft as if I AM STARCRAFT. I am the same way at Super Smash Bros - when I'm high my timing becomes much more acute. I checked a replay and I was playing with a final average of 91 APM last night, which is pretty good for SC2. And as the other guy said, I play with no distractions - door closed and no music (except in-game on low volume). | ||

Helps keep me from stressing out and after a few games, I am one with the Overmind. It also keeps me from raging AT ALL - I mean my losses cause me very little stress. If I lose, I usually just watch the replay and smoke another fatty. Before you guys hate on me, weed doesn't dull my reflexes - it sharpens them.

Beer. I really don't think this would help me at all, if anything it would make me more tired or play sloppy Weed. Not the biggest fan of weed, it kills brain cells and damages your lungs, but Im not here to preach Music. I usually listen to di trance, but lately the trance station has started getting worse, i'm thinking about switching to tech house or something. | ||

Listen to "eye of the tiger" and punch the air to feel badass if you want. I 101% agree with this. I go for a run / go to the gym every couple hours when I'm practicing - and it helps SO much! | ||

Seriously, in the middle of a match this song came up in my playlist and I was freaking out every time I heard the tank seiging sound. Its like listening to a song and suddenly you hear the dark templar sword sound when your Terran. I'm sure every T would freak out and look at all their bases looking to see where the scvs are dieing. | ||

The more I play in one sitting, the more comfortable I get, and usually my record reflects that, while I often start the day with losing streaks. Sometimes I drink a little first, but somehow I think this has more to do with my losing than getting more comfortable. | ||
