Breaks are good since they let your brain rest and the "losing feeling" go away. | ||

Considering how I'm typically an RPG player, I usually have a couple RPGs lying around that I can console up to cool things off, and it'll last me a while (DQ9 is my savior atm). same here. i'm currently playing 3 rpgs on the side (valkyria chronicles, resonance of fate, eternal sonata) just to take my mind off of SC2 when i go on a bad run. | ||

I think I went 0-8, playing just 1 game a day then turning the game off if I lost. The day I decided to play more than 1 game, I started winning again. Personally I can't play more than 3-4 games before I need to take a break, regardless if I'm winning or not. somebody posted on tl a while back that around 200 ladder games the stress goes away (ie need to take a break). in my experience this is definetly the case. personally i think the stress came from not knowing what the opponent was doing even if i scouted. after 200 ladder games and 150 custom games when i scout i know what is coming more often then not. i find that the level of stress i feel when playing goes down significantly if im not worried about everything that could be coming my way, only what IS coming and what i need to defend. i tend to get frustrated these days by cheeses that ive never seen before. i was raging pretty hard this morning when in 2 of my first 3 games terrans built around 5-10 marines and pushed with them +3ish scvs. the first game i lost bad (RAGE). the second game i had a baneling nest but didnt morph any in time (rage, but not as bad and mainly focused on my own failures as a zerg). the third time someone did this to me today i crushed them, he even proxied his barracks and built a bunker, but i had banelings in time and as soon as his marines were decimated he quit. dont get discouraged, just focus on what you could have done differently to win. | ||
