Let's talk about tilt. You're not mad at the game. You're mad at yourself. Why? Because deep down you know you could have played better. Because you see the mistake after it happens. Because you let emotion override logic. The solution? Pause. Breath. Review. Learn. Every…
The voice of doubt creeps in: "This is unfair" "They're just lucky" "The game hates me" But here's the truth: These thoughts protect your ego They don't protect your growth Replace them with: "What could I have done differently?" "Where was the turning point?" "How can I…
The 3-step prep that'll make you a better VGC player: 1. Watch replays of your toughest losses. 2. Identify the exact moment you lost the game. 3. Figure out what you would do next time in the same scenario. Simple, yet powerful.
