Getting back to Starcraft II - Choking whenever up against big names or people with big clan tags
 

Hi everyone! I'm MrFool.439 and I'm currently still in Masters.. GM is full for this season no chance T.T

Its only been about a few weeks since I came back for season 4 after a long long (touch and go play) and hiatus, and.I've been playing quite a lot! The endless cycle of winning streaks and losing streaks

But! It seems that my MMR has become sufficiently high for me to meet some players with big names/big clan tags and I find that I often choke when I play with then.

Simply put, I find that I do not possess the confidence I have when I play against names less known.

Eg of names that scare the shit out of me :
YoonYJ
Iceiceice
FXOtgun
GGFiery
Clan ngen
Clan alt
Clan SPR
Team SQLT
Most GM zergs just because GM zergs are so damned good in SEA!

And yada yada, quite a few to name actually!

Thing is, when I play with such players, I start choking at the loading screen and feel as if I'm behind the whole game! I just can't seem to get my play together and always predict myself to lose as soon as the game starts..

Well, I'm clanless and my main source of practise comes from ladder and I need to find a way to overcome this weakness of choking to big names or else I'll be stuck at my current position:/

Anyone else like me having this problem? Choking so hard you just can't seem to play well / think clearly as to whether you're ahead or what to do when you go up against players who are known as the best players of SEA?

If so, what do you do when you meet them on ladder? Any tips/advice? I would appreciate it if anyone could advice me on this as it's a big factor restricting me from playing well!

Thanks in advance!
