  • In this interview, mrekk talks about how he controls his nerves despite the pressure that the community puts on him, and he also gives some tips for controlling nerves in both solo and tournament play.
    This is part of a series at osu! University where we do a week of interviews with different top players and dive in deep on a specific topic. The goal is to dive into a slightly different aspect of the week's topic in each interview.

    It sounds like this interview is more nerve wrecking than playing osu for him lmao

    I feel like mrekk is the kind of player who doesn't really overanalyze his playstyle or like thinks about the theory behind certain stuff in the game. An interview with mrekk in general about how he plays, approaches improvement and his mindset etc. would therefore probably be easier for him and would probably be a ton of useful info too

    Nerve control
    1. like or like, ugh I- I- I don't know.
    2. Like, when like something happens.
    Example: In a tournament a lot of people get nervous and to control your nerves you- you just gotta not be nervous I guess?

      it's pretty hard to explain tbh especially if you just don't use any methods to control your nerves. He simply played more to get used to it, no special methods or anything.

    I think with the "it's just a game" thing, it's a matter of who is saying it on whose behalf. It's fine to say it to yourself on your own behalf, but you don't get to decide what things mean to other people.
    If I lose a match and tell myself "it's just a game", then that's fine; no harm no foul. But if somebody else loses and I tell them that "it's just a game", then that's not cool; it's not my place to tell them what their values are.

    Great video!
    I would like the mental block of reaching a certain level in skill to be explored. (basically when playing more doesn't improve your skill even after consistently playing and trying to improve for a long period of time).
    Another topic would be subconsciously playing vs consciously for improvement or setting a "good" score.
