Rets Arena Week Four

[Ellay]

I have a ritual before I do 5s on the shamans, it's worked for 3 seasons.

Prior to playing games, I either go for a 4+ mile run... or I start drinking. Either way it calms the nerves and I make less twitchy finger mistakes and generally follow the strat more regularly.

I'm super competitive so without a little help I'm about as smooth as a crackhead.

FREE YOUR MIND.

I do the same routine when I was in the top 10 rankings. It's a lot of pressure, I would suggest running or going to the gym. Anything of that nature is 2 fold, it's extremely healthy for you and when you get back home and take a shower you feel great and relaxed. It helps hitting the right keys at the right time and being less frigidity.

I used to get upset when I lost and usually my monitor got a verbal beating. My heart would start beating so fast at the start of a match that after 10 matches I would have to change my shirt. I am past that initial anxiety, maybe its the Fat Tire? hmmm new guild name Drunken Boxing.

Psychologically, I try and be good at arena to resolve deep seated oedipal issues. I was breastfed until I was 6 and now no woman can match up

And yes I get so stressed out that I just dont do arena anymore. It's not worth the shaking/sweating.

To be honest when I got glad(2v2) with my lock in S4(I know hard right) it was the least I enjoyed this game. I played with a guy who I really didnt know and it was rough because he and I blamed each other for losses. Every game I felt a ton of pressure not to screw up. The team was not my team so the dude could have kicked me at any time which added even more pressure. Boxing gave me the option of playing arena/pvp and I only have to answer to myself. So the anxiety is all gone now. I find myself laughing more now instead of cursing, I only box 2v2/3v3 now, so maybe that is different than 5s. /shrug

Me and my best friend had the same issue with blaming, Arena's sometimes brings out with the worst in people. You almost turn into a different person, so we've pretty much vowed never to arena together again.

Which in turn is why 1 DK 4 Ret.. ( we need to come up with an awesome name for this comp :P ) is so promising, it's all on your own basically. You can play the comp whenever and the only person that needs to improve is yourself.

SHOWER? Who said anything about showering after. Showers are for pussies. I use the stench to terrify my arena opponents :P
