[00:04] - Tilt, originated as a poker

[00:07] emotional confusion or frustration

[00:11] a less than optimal

[00:14] in the player, becoming over aggressive.

[00:16] When someone enters the state

[00:19] lost balance of their

[00:21] What, once was a neutral

[00:25] has now shifted into the negatives

[00:27] and all decisions afterwards

[00:30] because you are starting

[00:32] There's nothing more killer

[00:35] than being in the state of tilt.

[00:36] I think why tilt is so common

[00:39] lots of triggers some

[00:42] more than others.

[00:43] Things like unfriendly or

[00:46] bad luck and timing, bad

[00:49] nerves and pressure setting expectations,

[00:52] overly competitive and

[00:54] Tilt is like an invisible virus and

[00:57] if you don't treat it

[00:59] your entire being and even worse in fact,

[01:02] everyone around you, it is

[01:05] It causes fights, deranks or

[01:09] So how can we prevent it?

[01:11] What can we do when we feel

[01:14] negative mindset?

[01:15] Well, because tilt affects

[01:18] I've asked a few of my former teammates,

[01:20] how they deal with tilt.

[01:24] Warden, a former

[01:27] and now the manager of Complexity

[01:30] understood that tilt will

[01:33] performance in a negative way.

[01:35] So if he ever felt angry or

[01:39] to internalize and think

[01:41] his physical reactions

[01:44] to the rest of the team.

[01:45] This is a great habit to

[01:48] first reactions when entering

[01:51] something harsh or slam the

[01:55] body language.

[01:56] So to be able to withhold these

[01:59] the team's chances in winning

[02:03] top 20 CS go player and

[02:07] told me that when he's

[02:08] he doesn't know he doesn't set

[02:12] And instead focuses on his own game play.

[02:15] He approaches each day with

[02:18] concerned more with things

[02:21] learning from his mistakes

[02:23] and focusing on how he can improve.

[02:25] Whereas some players who get

[02:28] concerned about their stats, rank

[02:30] and position on the ladder,

[02:33] to blame their teammates for mistakes,

[02:35] with less emphasis on their

[02:38] having a student mentality and

[02:42] is essential for improvement

[02:45] mind, shaGuar, a former

[02:48] And now a very successful

[02:51] beauty of team games is that

[02:55] each other up and bail each other out.

[02:57] If someone enters tilt from

[03:01] compared to poker, where it

[03:04] with only yourself to rely on

[03:05] whether you're in a public

[03:07] you've never met before

[03:09] or playing with your regular teammates,

[03:11] it would be a good reminder

[03:14] have your notice them slipping

[03:16] you can meet the person

[03:18] shaGuar, go to reminder

[03:21] of tilt or generally just

[03:24] is gratitude a feeling of thankfulness

[03:27] and appreciation because let's be real.

[03:29] If you're lucky enough to

[03:31] a safe place to sleep and your health,

[03:34] is it really justified being frustrated

[03:36] and angry over a video game.

[03:38] I want to end this video sharing

[03:41] And if you ever feel yourself
