It isn't just me losing legit games either, it's doing stupid shit like forgetting to build a refinery on 12 or a depot on 9 too. How do you guys deal with losing streaks like this? EDIT: For reference I was 16-18 pre-streak and am 17-33 post-streak.   | ||

When you lose a lot you get frustrated and your game just starts to fall apart This is true and also, if you make a bad mistake like that, REMEMBER IT and try to never do it again. Learn from you mistakes and you will improve very quickly. | ||

You could lose those 3 games in a row, but at the same time take in a bunch of new knowledge from those losses, whereas you just get fed up and log off. Doesnt seem like a good way to improve at all, since you only really keep playing if you are winning consistantly, which doesnt help a person learn their mistakes. It seems like this method is a bit counter-productive towards bettering your playstyle from losses. Also, what if you played 3 B+ koreans back to back. do you just say, oh I just got raped by 3 semi-pro's im logging off! Just seems like a silly way to decide when you have enough. | ||

Everytime you go on a losing streak you should take a break from Starcraft, go watch a movie for example, and then come back | ||

If you're going on a losing streak like that and you don't know why, reviewing a few of your replays is pretty helpful. Chances are, there's a mistake or set of similar mistakes that you can find in a bunch(not necessarily all) of your games. For me, this is losing to early pressure because of bad micro. Find one or two things to focus on for your next few games, and see where that gets you. | ||

The next day I won 6 straight and got 2048 points (lost in on the 7th game to a cheesy zerg on Colosseum, but you get the idea). I guess a lot of it is just relaxing and calming down (like what everyone here has said...XD) focus in on your initial BO and take it from there. Try to keep the larger game in mind, too. You know what you're doing, but try to keep in mind what your opponent is doing as well. | ||
