Only thing that really gets me mad is when i know i should have done better. For example I just lost a 35 minute TvZ on Shaks. The game was frustration station for me; I lost my first 4 helions getting greedy on a runby, however recovered by killing a ton of drones with a 8rine drop while my main push killed his third. However he ended up getting about 15 infestors out, and just chainfungal/lingballing me while taking 2 extra bases. It seemed like no matter how much I split he just had infinity fungals and in the end, after an epic war involving 2 ultra/BL techswitches, i crumbled under the might of his army, cussed him out and said he was lucky and left. After I calmed down I just felt stupid for not getting ghosts, but at the time I had to get my anger out otherwise it would affect my next game. | ||

I never, ever tell the other person they are awful or that their race is broken. At worst, I say something like "damn it, I never know how to beat Protoss lategame, even if I go into it with a massive advantage" or "well I more so lost this than you won it." And that's only when I let it really get to me. | ||

I'm very cool and collected in real life, I don't know what in starcraft brings out the rage. It might bee fact that every other game is arranged team vs random team. I lose my cool when I see people with 1k wins still die to 10 pools, cannon rushes, dt rushed and collosus pushes. It's almost like the adverage player doesn't learn how to deal with certain unit comps and 1/2 don't commincate at all. After the game is a sure loss, we get some punk 14 year old kid start trolling how good he is. Ofcourse I'll check after to see if it was an arranged team vs random team, it usally is. I sometimes wonder why i even bother to play, I should just bite the bullet and only do 1v1's. I moved into team games for the fun, until what you described happened. The shit-flinging, got me really pissed. Then I moved back to 1v1. | ||

And that's only when I let it really get to me. I used to just do that, I guess living with a girl who goes to sleep for work at 11pm means I can't really do such things anymore. Imagine I just held off a 4gate warp prism rush, and walked my huge bio ball across the map to finish the deed. As I do it, the screen starts pixellating and my game crashes. I threw a bottle of water at the wall, missed, and it went out the window and hit a car...which just happened to be mine, parked on the road....true story, talk about bad luck!! | ||

![[image loading]](http://www.freeimagehosting.net/newuploads/jtpnh.jpg) ...and I started raging so much, I never experienced it before. I started to punch my desk, kick stuff, etc. I'm pretty shocked at my overreaction to what is just a game. But that losing streak totally got me. So yes, StarCraft did make me rage. | ||

Now I get really disappointed in myself instead, and at times it borderlines to destructive behavior. (I feel like causing myself physical pain as punishment for playing badly) Come to think of it, I did hit myself as hard as I possibly could a few times. I suppose that's the next wall to break in my path toward inner peace and more skill. My road has looked something like this.. Angry rager: Gold Disappointed emo: High Master Inner peace (Yet selfcritical): ??????????? | ||

that being said, i do often get disappointed in games that i thought i was gonna win; like someone said first page, i have let out more than my fair share of harsh siiiiiiighhhs. but then i can just watch the replay and figure it out as opposed to assuming i'm just bad. | ||
