My friend got demoted from Masters to Diamond on the last day...I think its just that there are a lot of people gunning for promotion and some people that are about to get demoted (and feel that they ripped off the system) aren't playing and so there were just harder people. | ||

It's a completely illogical concept that can only be applied to creative arts such as writing because Starcraft is competitive. You're losing because you are playing bad. Analyze your games, understand the mistakes you're doing, fix them, and react properly. | ||

Erm, why is it impossible to have a series of bad games in a row and call them slumps? Is there something wrong about calling a series of losses or consistent bad play for a period of time a "slump"? Personal recommendation is to just remove yourself from starcraft for a bit, think about something not related from starcraft for a bit (fresh air helps), maybe watch a replay or vod or something, then play another game. There is no solution, but a break is always a good idea in my mind (helps calm the rage / discourage factor) | ||

For instance I had an epic losing streak such as your a few months ago while in diamond; it got so bad I started being exclusively matched against platinum players. Now this really screwed with my game, all of a sudden I wasn't playing picture perfect 4 gatesI was getting 2 gate zealot into cannon void ray. It had been a really long time since I had played against that, and it just threw me for a loop so I really started to tilt. All of those carefully planned timings I had practiced against and defended were thrown out the window and I was facing all sorts of random play that you just don't see at the high levels and being zerg it meant I died a lot. It was as if I had forgotten how to win. Now with that said, it didn't last forever I just had to refocus on my mechanics/fundamentals and not worry about the timings so much. Expect the unexpected and get my scouting back in gear to catch the unexpected and you know what it was all my game really needed. So a long story short, just go back to the basics and you will come out of it a better player then you were before. | ||

I think, when you're on a losing streak, you have to start playing with friends instead of on ladder. Against different people, you will just keep making mistakes here and there... the more you lose, the angrier/more sad you get, and the more mistakes you start to make... vicious cycle ftl. | ||
