Does anybody else get adrenalized while playing SC?

While playing Starcraft 1 yeah but for Starcraft 2 I don't know yet. Especially when I do a TvP, I'm almost shaking sometimes. The main reason is because of how much pressure is put on me to accomplish the tasks I must do to win under the small laps of time I have. Place mines there, siege/unsiege there and make sure you have a good tank placement, build scv, build tanks + vultures, don't forget to upgrade, don't forget to make sure the guy is not sneaking on you with an arbiter, etc. The fact that the UI is poor makes it even more challenging. To be honest, I started going back to the old Goliaths + Tanks instead of vulture + tanks because of how APM demanding and stressful the latter is. The strategy still works pretty decently at D+/C- (and under) levels if you keep your macro up.

if Im playing really hard games, like B- or better koreans on Iccup, I sometimes get quite jittery. Mainly just build up a sweat, and am REALLY focused in where if someone comes and knocks on my door or tries to talk to me, they wont get a response.

Just gotta stay focused. One wrong move can lose the game.

Been playing Heroes of Newerth lately since i dont have a key, and that game is so chill in comparison. There may be like 3-4 seconds of that adrenalin rush, in 5v5 battles late in the game, but thats the only time it gets crazy. Team dependent games, aren't really my thing.. I like knowing if I win or lose, its all my fault, as opposed to teammates deciding whither I win or lose =/

maybe its because im so tired, but i didnt REALLY get adrenalized by my first three games as much as expected.. then again, its not very close yet.

It's just close games for me, whether it's Starcraft, Halo or Street Fighter. I like a challenge.

Sometimes I get it. I find the long games more exhausting, and the short games more of an adrenaline rush because you're... well, rushing.

Also if I win said tight game, I may even proceed to jump out of my seat in victory...

Same here lol, but usually if I make a comeback ^^
