Hi desrow, I have had a really hard time laddering these two days. I had 20 more wins than loss and 1000 points ranked 20 masters. Now I am only 4 games positive with 879 points. This isn't a question about strategy, this is a question about dealing with bad ladder sessions, rage and tilts. How can I stop this? I feel like a total jerk when I rage to my friends, and I am having a hard time trying not to rage in this post.

Thanks

Battle.net wants you to have 50% winratio unless you have very talented (top50 of ladder) your win ratio will always lurk around 50% you went down from 20wins more than loss to 4 because battle.net gave you thougher opponents. Stop thinking about the stats and think about what you can improve and watch the replays and think about the game, your mistakes and your opponent's mistakes and timing window you could have abused. also if you are frustrated just go watch a movie or do something else and come with a clear mind. and please don't turn to the dark side, we already have idra and all the balance whiners out there we dont need more of them :D

Desrow, I found your stream a few weeks ago and liked it, but today really made me a fan.
Great commentary during your ladder games, and that was an exciting run through the TL Open. And you had a great, passionate attitude throughout it all. Whatever you had for breakfast, make it a ritual.

Desrow lately i have been thinking about going 1 stargate after Forge fast expand PvZ. Whith the stargate i make 2 voids and scout for mutas/ deny third. When i take my 3th and scout muta i go Dt blink stalker archon. To take down further expansions and to get pressure of me. What are your thoughts/opinions on that? is it good?( btw using archons 2 against muata)

How do you play against stargate PvP? i feel like you're so contained especially when they get up to like 10ish phoenixs. They just expand and put up cannons so you can't just DT them.

My standard PvP opening is usually robo/twilight -> immortals and blink. I feel like i have to leave stalkers at my main to fend off phoenixs, but if you don't have enough they can just lift your stalkers and kill them. In addition, if i use all my stalkers then they can just go to my main entrance and pick up my zealots/immortals. Should i just be keeping everything together? The most annoying part i feel is getting your own expansion up, because they just lift every probe you're sending to expand.

He gets absolute vision of you, you can't really do an early attack from my experience. Phoenixs + cannons negate your ground army advantage and just win them the fight from my experience. Can't even blink micro against like 6+ phoenixes.

I feel like stargate openings force macro games, where your opponent can't harass you and you can freely harass them and have infinite vision of their base/tech path. I feel like the only way to beat this is to just go blind dt's everygame, but blind dt's loses to any robo build.

Your thoughts?
