Try playing some 1-plan terran/protoss games instead for a while and when it feels ok to ladder you can switch back to zerg. If you're not playing zerg... open that closed door so you feel that you have the real world around you. If you live alone you can invite a friend over and he can study for his exams, watch you play or whatever. | ||

I'm very laid back when I play. Sometimes I'll just leave the game even if I'm winning if I make a stupid mistake because I don't feel like recovering from a dumbass mistake I made during the game. ____ I still play Brood War too though. BW is so APM focused when you play Terran that I tend to rapidly go through too many button presses and mouse movements. I try to maintain high APM and while doing that I kind of spazz out. Anyways SC2 I feel really laid back for some reason compared to BW. | ||

The few games I manage to survive or get in the lead the first 10 minutes, it just gets more stupid, for some reason I just can't win, I know I am in the lead, but I keep screwing up, overcommiting, throw units against the wall or you name it. The thought of actually being in the posision to win just makes my state of mind so much worse it seems. | ||

I think you guys focus too much on statistics. I also thought that it was my stats making me afraid, but it was not, as I bought another game (smurf account) and it still got too me. I started in bronze then, got easy wins, but SC2 wont let you win for too long, cause not to many matches later I was seperated from the boys to play the men.. So I kept in mind that, SC2 wont let you win more then about 50% of your games. If you win 3-5 in a row, expect some serious shit the next 3-5. My problem however, is that I get so adrenaline pumped when I have a huge advantage in my sc2 games. It is like "I got this, I got this! oh fuck dont let me do something stupid now!". So the real question for me is, what does the pro do? I saw Jinro was pretty nervous at MLG, having really cold hand (although it was pretty fucking cold there as well). But at GSL f.ex, you see pros so calm, Nestea seems to relax even being under 0-2 in the finals. How does he do this? More important, how can I/we start to incorporate this kind of mental relaxasation that these guys can do in the worlds most competive sc2 scene? | ||

1. Create a basic plan for each match up on each map before you sit down to pay. This is important because you don't want to spend the first five minutes of each map thinking about what to do. Go ahead and write it out and keep it basic just an opening and then a way to end the game. 2. Before you sit down, repeat over and over in your head the phrase, "I am going to kill him." Do this to make kill become your mantra. 3.When you sit down try to keep your arms and legs loose shake them up a bit. 4. When your anxiety starts to surface repeat in you mind with confidence, "kill him." 5. At the beginning of the game scream at your screen slap your self in the mouth and scream at the screen again. Do it, don't ask why, just do it. Then start repeating "kill him." 6. Stick to your plan. The idea is to awaken confidence and dispel anxiety. You need to not just play to win, and decide to want to play and win! Kill him! | ||

This is why I like the permanent account in SC2. In WC3 virtually everyone would create an account, play 20 or 30 games and then never play on that account again, mostly because they didn't want to ruin their precious 70+% win record. Most Smufs would also have their 48% win rate "fuck around with account" which was really their true account because that's where they played the majority of their games, but they all justified the low % (er I mean "normal") because "I try weird strategies", yea right. Smurfing was epidemic in WC3 About half my opponents were smurfs. If you had a 50% (like I did) you were called a NOOB! Didn't matter if you had 500+ games played and it was the account you learned the game on...Most smurfs would have accounts like 8-0, 13-1 17-4, something like that, I forget the exact numbers. I believe if you could win 25 in a row you were either very lucky or very good. Many of the smurfs were good players but about half I could beat and it was very satisfying giving a smurf their first loss. One guy I played looked at my record and said straight away "I don't lose to noobs like you". I'm happy to say I won . That game was hands down my most rewarding win in WC3. I posted the replay and a lot of people got a good laugh from it. Anyway back to the original post. You feel anxious because you're afraid of a loss on you "permanent" record. So one way to conquer that fear is to start a game then quit straight away. Still feeling anxious? Do it again. Still anxious? Do it again! Fuck it, give yourself 10 straight losses! Now your worst possible fears just happened. Your record is fucked so who cares. This may be a little extreme but if the other suggestions are not helping might be worth a try. | ||

If you force your self to play for just a bit, you will eventually get stupid losses that you don't feel the need to watch the replay, and it will enrage you into hitting the find game button straight away  | ||

I start shaking and it really pisses me off, i think for me its the fact that its "ranked" and its pretty much "permanent" on my profile that sets it off...but yeah, feels bad man. ily OP there will be ladder resets, so nothing is permament. now go enjoy the game. | ||

I used to have problems spamming the Find Match button after a game (especially a loss), but I have would force myself to press it, and everything would be fine once those 6 workers appear and I have to give them orders. | ||

It's called stepping out of a comfort zone. It's not a good feeling when you are doing it, but once you've expanded your comfort zone it's just like any other thing and you get a feeling of acomplishment. Like Nike. Just do it! | ||

in all seriousness, just play. I used to have this problem about wc3, and still do, but mainly because of the garbage 250ms bnet delay, even if you win or lose, just play, do you're best, and at some point, start having fun. i used to get super anxious and eventually got bored of zerg and SC2 in general, didnt play much in a while, came back, and started trying to work nydus into my build's and it opened up a whole new avenue for me and made the game more fun and interesting, effectively it rekindled my love for the game, mix up you're builds, do stupid shit(not all the time of course), shit so stupid you'l just laugh it off at the end no matter if you win or lose. thats what makes the game so fun, trying new things, making things work. | ||
