"alright, season 3 platinum! gettin it doooneee " --> horrible losing streak, makes me feel crappy, but you know, ill get better ---> demotion-->lose some more--> play league of legends for a week cuz im sick of it.
now, the past few days ive realized that its really my CHOICE to feel shitty after i lose. i think that since i really focus hard on getting better and winning and improving, i forget to have FUN when im playing. like if you play chess, you dont rage when you lose and take a week long break from chess because you dont want to lose anymore. you think, oh shit i guess i shouldnt be so careless with my queen, and then your ready for more. its strategy game, but its still a game.
i think i kinda forgot that starcraft is a game, and its not a measure of how good or bad i am personally. like after a 5 game losing streak id be like man i suck i need to play more and get better....then id lose more and be like fuck this sucks why aren't i getting better i hate losing RAAAAWAWWWRRRRRR.
yesterday i thought; you know what GPrime, even if you go on like....a fifty game losing streak and get demoted to bronze league, ill STILL be playing starcraft, an awesome fun game that i love, against people of a approximately even skill level.....BAD-FREAKIN-ASS.
so pretty much ive decided that im going to have fun, improve, and think of winning as a bonus rather than a measure of how good or bad i am. If you try a build and lose with it 50 times, you make 49 adjustments and get that much better.
Happy laddering.
