That’s why you need to practice everything to death, until it becomes natural to you, and less energy demanding to execute.
This explains why you seem to never be able to win again, the second you lose a game you’re supposed to win, or deserved to win, in DotA 2. Your anger next game will be responsible for your underperformance. You will play worse, when you’re tilted. That’s why you need to control your anger, instead of letting it control you, in order to retain your best and highest performance possible.
When you’re angry, you get more physical strength. If you punch a hard rock when you’re angry, you will shatter it to pieces, provided you’re physically strong enough to be able to do so.
Impact.
When you’re calm and collected, you won’t be able to break the rock, even if you hit it a thousand times, even with the same strength. It just won’t happen, and you don’t know why.
Your anger, makes you stronger. But you don’t know why you lose, because of it.
In order to win, against all odds, no matter who your opponents are, or even how many they are and how strong they are, you need to be faster. Not stronger, but better, and faster, even at the expense of strength.
If you learn to go at ninety percent mental capacity, you will find yourself more flexible and faster.
See, when you go at a hundred percent capacity, because you want to overdrive yourself, or overcharge yourself, or overclock yourself, you will face inevitable rigidity, even if you’re not angry.
Because you are demanding more blood flow to your brain, and you’re pushing hard the same neurons to do their job better, and faster, so you overcharge your neurons, and end up stuck with the overcharged ones without being able to switch back and forth between them and other sets of neurons, almost simultaneously. That is, you lose fluidity, flexibility, and become rigid and fixed and unshakable, to the extent that you feel like you have parkinson’s disease or something.
Increased intracranial tension from all this extreme pushing to surpass your maximum capacity by a large margin makes you feel like you’re going to blow up, to literally explode, if you switch between tasks, targets, moves, or actions. So, you have to keep your rigidity, in order to save your life.
If you operate at ninety percent mental capacity, you will feel like you can do better than that.
But if you considered how faster you are. How more flexible you are. How fluid you are, almost untouchable in the face of anything, you’d be amazed at how much superior ninety percent of your maximum mental or cognitive capacity is to a literal hundred percent capacity or more when you’re overcharged and trying to win by any means necessary. Whether that overcharge is coming from anger, or an overwhelming desire to win despite being cool and level headed. Sometimes raising necessity to achieve your goals backfires badly, and leads to your undoing. The games that you are trying too hard to win, are the ones you lose.
In this case, aim lower. Set the bar lower, for now your ninety percent capacity is your true hundred percent, because you now understand, that aiming for the literal hundred percent, is substantially inferior and way worse than your ninety percent capacity could ever be, as long as you have a human brain.
Much to learn, you still have.
The beauty, of Grandmastery. Nothing can compete with that.
Move slower. Move less, but more effective.
May the force be with you.
