But seriously I have this same problem, but only when I play 1v1. Custom games or even other ladders have no effect on me whatsoever, but when it's just me and one opponent I start to get really tense and jittery. If I play one 1v1 game and win it, I'm liable to just stop there because I'm too afraid of losing the next one. I've had this "1v1 Anxiety" with every RTS I've ever played...and that's a long list. | ||

The biggest thing that helped me out was apm spam at the beginning because it keeps the blood flowing and keeps your focus accentuated. So try apm spam early and if that doesnt help then try private matches until you overcome your dilemma :-P | ||

Sure, the downside are trembling hands, but in exchange you get an incredible amount of focus which allows you to make decisions before you even think about the problem. Enjoy it and use it; don't fight it. And like others said, the trembling hands-bit goes away after a while anyway. | ||

I'm recently made a come back to rts and while I've been a gamer almost all my life I have this stupid adrenaline rush when laddering. I get the shakes and my hands don't quite move like they're supposed to.Macro goes out the door and all I can barely manage to do is battle micro. When I'm playing vs AI I think I never have this problem at all, or even when I'm playing co-op vs AI. This never happens when I'm playing sports games, rpg, and fps (weirdly I get more focused in fps don't know why). I'm thinking of drinking beer before laddering .... any suggestions? Don't be emotionally invested in the outcome of the game. Tell yourself that you're probably going to lose as the match is starting. | ||

If you're getting an adrenaline rushing from playing starcraft on the internet vs people you've never met before, I think you might need to find some other outlets for excitement. I'm being serious. Disagree with your logic entirely. I played rugby for 4 years in college, I was an officer in my fraternity and gave public speeches every weak, and I've had the same thing happen to me as the OP. SC2 just gets your blood pumping. It's strange that sitting in front of a computer playing video games against someone you've never met before can cause an adrenaline rush, but it does. It's not because the OP is a basement dwelling, Dorito muncher... It's because it's a great game. | ||

Also, I find I feel most relaxed when I've got good scouting, because it means I'm not going to be surprised and I know exactly what to do.. prioritizing scouting might help. This sums it all up. The AI usually makes a similar build every game and you feel confident b/c it's 1. Something predictable 2. Not a human that will go "lawl you made mass lings against my collosus? scrub! 3. A game that isn't ranked so no "pressure" is on With the adrenaline rush leaving after games is ALSO true due to the "oh i've seen this before" and the "oh sweet another protoss" feeling that makes you feel even more confident. Which in turn helps your scouting.. chain reacting into more and more so you win more and more. | ||

I wish it would happen more often, since I usually stay somewhere along 100. (With higher in-combat) | ||
