I was insane over that game. Having waited 10+ years for the SC II to come out did little to help that.
I spent countless hours researching zerg strategies and practiced using them on the computer until i was destroying it on the really hard setting and then went online with it and proceeded to go undefeated in my qualifying rounds for 2's and 3's. I also went and purchased one of those SC II Razer gaming mouses (which is a pretty sick mouse).
Eventually went from platinum to diamond rank in 2's. I started getting tired of using tried and true unit combos (I only play as zerg online, it's not that I haven't played toss and terran a shedload I just very much prefer zerg) and started trying different things just to make things interesting and ended up dropping to silver (yuck) rank in 3's. I had the keybindings I used so ingrained into my head that I could literally play the game with my monitor turned off.
After a while though I just couldn't handle playing because I was getting so stressed out by it. I found I struggled to maintain the level of APM required of diamond and platinum level playing much after a few matches and took a break in frustration. The game was stressing me out. I take a lot of pride in my playing of this game as I was known amongst my friends as being a huge SC fan. I just couldn't bring myself to play it casually
