You don't need to quit gaming & people recommending therapy are literal parrots.
Unless you have actual anger issues outside of gaming life, therapy for a game is the most exaggerated recommendation you can be given, being emotional in a competitive environment is fine- healthy even, but it's about recognizing when you are taking it a step too far, you don't need therapy to recognize emotional responses & to be able to tell yourself to stop, Jesus.
It'll sound redundant but getting up & walking away does wonders, tabbing into a casual game to cool off is fine. This isn't said enough actually- but having things outside of your game helps wonders in establishing less of an importance on the "outcome" of one game.
The best outcome out of what you did is, you now have an associated outcome memory for when you do stupid shit- when you get angry in the future that will hopefully trigger a "wake up" moment that'll lead to you realizing you need to take a minute to just stop caring to such a degree.
