Starting to matter?

For example, in a tournament situation where me and the other player are down to the final match or final round. I tend to do not as well in those situations compared to a situation where the stakes aren't as high.

Ah. So basically just nerves?

I understand how you feel but all you have to do is just clear your head breathe in
And out. Or listen to music to calm yourself down.

I basically do the same. In DOA, when it's down to the final round and both my opponent and I are down to our last bits of health, I tend to whiff holds, be predictable with my offense, and just overall choke. I guess, like Brute said, it's basically just nerves.

It's weird, though; in SMITE for example, I do not choke as much when it comes down to a 10 v 10 ticket difference in Arena. I always just go to the team portal and camp out until someone is forced to make a move. Once they do, I do in, still basically on defense, and throws out all my abilities at the most squishy person in range and hopes for a kill before heading back out before I make a mistake and gets killed.

I go in* damn autocorrect.

I have the opposite problem where a lot of the time I'm too relaxed to react to things fast enough. The end result is the same though lol
