Go ahead share you starcraft slumps... i'll go first...

The most apparent one i remember was 3 seasons ago where i had trouble vs C- players, and all my old SC buds were C level, and i couldn't win vs him, few weeks ago we were equal in level (hi yaqoob). I got out by massing games any chance i could and without really noticing any chances, i managed to get C, and then eventually C+ just before the season ended...

Now i'm starting to notice again. I got C+ this season much faster, like i got it in the middle of the season. On my smurf account i got to rank C, then lost a lot of games and my minimum points was like 3200, now i managed to get it up to like 3500. I have no confidence right now considering i'm having trouble vs C- players, i can't imagine how much i'd get owned vs C+ players.

As of my recent games on Andromeda, i can notice my macro getting worse, and making the world's most horrible decisions that i think was the best at the time. I notice in TvP's im not paying attention to my units when i push out and they end up getting owned without siege. My surplus is going out of control in my TvZ and TvP. The only improvement i see is my TvT, and before my TvT sucked balls. Thats the only matchup i see some decent improvement in. I want to say im seeing improvements in my TvZ late game, but again thats late game vs only C- zergs, and i'm still having trouble but i can usually win TvZ"s if i can bring it to late game.

Waiting patiently for me to crawl out of the hole and be even stronger than before.

I was in a slump for 2-3 weeks once, went something like 3-20

was brutal

last saturday went 2-6. Every simgle loss was against some form of cheese/all-in

I was so incredibly bm by the end of it

I usually start "slumping" once I hit 3500~
Kind of strange it happens every season....

Ever since my friend showed me TF2 I have been playing that instead of SC sometimes so a few days ago when I went to play some 1:1's I lost 3 games in a row to the person who I was easily pwning a month or two ago. I felt pretty disappointed. So that being said I'm pretty sure I am going to be on a slump for this next while if I don't get my SC gameface back on =/

My 8-year slump coincides with my complete and utter lack of practise.

A season ago, i think i lost like 20-25 games straight with winning like 1.

This season, i lost 18 or 19 straight as well.

talking mu specific, i haven't won a PvT against my level (C+) in apparently, 20 games.

i'm guessing my losses, but i'm pretty sure i got it..
