Okay, rereading it, I think I get what you're trying to say, so allow me to shamelessly piggy back off of Santos' post, if I may. There's nothing wrong with anticipating a loss, hell, I did it twice in the LOF predictions thread a month ago. There's a difference between anticipating a loss and announcing it to make yourself look better in a "Oh yeah, I sooo saw that coming" sort of way, which is what this came across as. Like Santos said, don't think you did your best work this week, suck it the fuck up and deal with it. A loss isn't a big deal, even with this stip added on. You take it in stride, and move on.

Wanna know how to not get involved with shit like this and feel he need to do things like this? Continue to improve and actually take people's feedback (like Heyman's) more than just partially doing and saying fuck it. You want to see my first RP here? This proves a point guys, I'm not just rambling.

Fucking terrible, right?

Here's the thing, I took the feedback I got when I asked for it and really used it to continue improving. Now, I'm nowhere near that and nowhere near done getting better. You seem to be stuck in a lapse of staying at the same level and not really pushing yourself to be better. That's what you need to do, push yourself to be better. No one else can make you want to improve, only you can do that.
