What do you do when you lose X games in a row?

Do you smash your head on the fall? Waste your monitor? Play as long as it takes to win again?

I've got the feeling once I'm hopeless in my mind, I can give up on the game and try next day. Have you ever won when forcing a victory after losing like crazy? I really don't think so, but if you did, lucky you. Well, I'm gonna wait until tomorrow, when things will certainly be as they should. (Before you ask, yes I watch replays and try to learn from my errors)

 

If you play a lot of random games you have to expect that you are going to get stuck with someone who is pretty much going to cost you a game more so then not. I've decided not to play anymore league games until I can get a decent 2v2 or 3v3 team together. This way when we loose it wont be because we screwed up it will be because the other team was just better, those are losses I can handle without too much frustration.

 

I was rather talking about 1v1. But yeah, I and my friends suck at 2v2, we just have no plan. That's fine by me, but losing 1v1 is a sign of lack of skill or creativity and very frustrating. And you certainly don't get creative when you lose confidence.

 

Well I think a lot of people take this game just a bit too seriously anyways. It is after all a game and its purpose is for entertainment. I play it because it's a strategy game, every game can be different and I have fun doing it. Winning at it is simply a bonus, if you find that you are setting yourself up for an aneurism you may want to rethink why you are playing it in the first place.

Right now I’m having more fun trying to get all of the achievements from playing the campaign then I am anything else.

 

after 3 games in a row I proxy pylon 1 gate cannon rush the edges... or 8pool (my 8 pool is very very nasty cause i transition it into roaches when playing P)

 

Take a 5 minute break, get a snack, pace around my room, and briefly go over every major habit I need to focus on in game (more scouting, more workers, more army structures, more upgrades, more presssure on the opponent). Then I come back and usually win the next game (or the game after)

Or I just give up and play Runling Run for the next hour.

 

Runling run is so fun

Try watching some professional videos. Those usually boost up my initiative to play. Or play some 1v1, or custom team games with your friends.

 

I'm pretty used to losing X games in a row, it's frustrating yes.
Even in the n00b practice league I only manage to win 33% of all matches. (eventually I skipped it because the game speed was boring)
Now at rank 93 in Bronze it's failure after failure. (I'll be pretty amazed if a win for a change)
But I've not given up yet, I try to figure out what I'm doing wrong, watch replays etc.

 

Keep that up solar!(The not giving up part, not the losing streaks ) Although I've got 100% win in the practice league so far for some weird reason I'm feeling pretty weak and bad and keep watching my replays to see what I'm doing wrong. You get better and better and that's a good thing

 

Solar that attitude is what we need to see more of in the SC2 community. Well done and keep it up. That deserves more then a thanks. I think I'll +rep that.

 

You are right guys. I take the game too serious. I just want to excel at it, and that is stupid. I should expect to have fun, not to beat my opponent, at least not in the first place. I gotta think about that.

 

There ya go. I lost a ton of practice league games I just blame it on my teammates to keep my confidence up

 

Finally after 20 lost league games I finally managed to win for the first time.
But still, this match lasted more than 2 hours (and needed 4 expansion bases)

 

1. Get nachos and mountain dew 2. Eat nachos and drink mountain dew 3. Rape face [[ON]] OFF 4. ??? 5. PROFIT

 

I just go around and do something else, play custom games or start practicing with a friend. xd

 

throwing my monitor out of window

 

I personally take a sip (and by that i mean half a bottle) of Aloe Vera, Orange Juice, or what ever the hell is 3 inches away from my hand and continue playing.

SC2 is the ultimate competitive RTS, gtfo noob

 

When I get frustrated I go play a user made custom game. If I get really pissed I go watch Day[9] epp 100. http://blip.tv/file/3486428

 

ive lost six 1v1 games in a row so far, and its killing me
currently in platinum league, im just giving myself a break now.

 

When I play it's usually just me sitting down with good music blasting for 1v1 games.

If I lose, I pretty much snap my fingers, say 'darn', and queue up for another game.

And try to work on stuff I didn't do enough of like establishing and holding my chokes, scouting, figuring out what my opponent is going for army composition.
