Any anxiety I get during a tense game is ultimate because the game is close-- my opponent and I are essentially equally matched, or if either of us has a small advantage it's not insurmountable. If I'm getting stomped by a player way stronger than me I actually feel way more relaxed-- I have nothing to prove, and I can use this as a learning opportunity to see what he's doing better than me.

When
it's
closer
I
start
getting
more
tense,
because
I
know
I
can
possibly
win,
and
I
want
my
opponent
to
know
I'm
better
than
them.
I,
of
course,
know
I'm
better
than
my
opponent,
but
the
game
the
only
way
I
can
communicate
that.
If
I
lose,
especially
to
a
stupid
mistake
or
a
misclick,
that
can
get
me
a
little
peeved.
Usually
if
I
get
in
a
sour
mood
it's
only
for
a
few
minutes,
though,
so
if
you
feel
like
you're
giving
yourself
mild
depression
from
playing
Zero-K
that's
definitely
something
to
talk
about
with
your
shrink.
