What you have done Chris, is put my thoughts into words, where I couldn't :P I'm too tired to think of anything now.

Focus is my downfall, i can't argue with that. My goal is to get good enough where I can be top 5 without focus. Right now I am 11 without focus. I would almost say its an age thing and thats why I can't focus all the time, Don't quote me on that though because I truly have no idea, I just know I have problems doing it in 15 games in a row.

The game has its ups and downs, but you can never lose focus of your individual goals and you can't let yourself be beat because of lack of effort.

The ups and downs is what makes the game fun! The need to come back and win after a loss. If you won all the time it would get boring. As Qi has mentioned many times
