Brutal. Definitely try playing on US, the pool on SEA is so small at times that you're much more likely to end up with a skill mismatch.

start playing other games

when i started slumping, i started mixing other games in, like dota2.

but you gotta be careful how you moderate it, cuz I ended up playing more Dota 2 :3

Uninstall the game, go to play it the next day and instantly regret uninstalling, rage at yourself for getting so hot-headed.

In all seriousness I just take a break.

kudos for playing that many games.. I lose one bad zvz and i just quit.. I think my longest streak of losing without stopping is 3...Teach me your ways of perseverance :\

Haha.. Spook, your comment with the Ultralisk avatar next to it put an amusing image into my head :P

I just find that when I lose it just drives me to want to get better, so every loss just want me to mash that find game button even more! I never used to be like that though, damn I had some bad ladder anxiety to begin with. Might give it a break for tonight, do some theory in the morning, then get back into it

If I'm on a loss streak I usually just try to ride it out and keep playing. But, if I feel myself getting angry and frustrated, I take a break; then once I've cooled down, come back and watch the replays. I then compare how I was playing during my "slump" to how I SHOULD be playing (I usually take a replay of a game I considered "good" from earlier that session), then re-motivate myself through realizing that I AM capable of beating people. I find it works really well for me, dunno about other people.

Have a break, have a kitkat.

Also, it's good to go out on a walk or a drive some place to chill out and/or maybe have a bite, or something else productive lol. Finding another hobby to do is a great idea as well.

you ever want to roflstomp over zergs you could play me if I decide to play zvp again :P

If i'm feel I'm starting to tilt or self-rage over my losses I usually just go do something else to take my mind off sc2 for a bit. Make some coffee/tee, hit the gym, do some work, watch TV, or even tune into other zerg's streams to mentally compare what they're doing differently.

gg wp though. Keep fighting! You'll see a lot of green soon~

I've had this issue a few times think i lost 16 in a row once, shit just happens sometimes, sometimes it doesn't go your way, a good way i found to get away from teh losing streaks was take a break and switch servers
