At first, I was thinking about Nada cuz he's adorable and it's 5:30AM and I'm feeling lonely. Then I thought about Boxer's slump and Yellow's current.
Nada could have a mental conflict right now and just needs mental focus...
Yellow's slump started after Boxer gay'd the shit out of him...
And Boxer's past slump I never considered a slump honestly...
Then I thought about myself, and some of the older players I used to play with. While some stayed active, when we play, I can keep up with them and win a good bit and sometimes a majority. However, whenever I play people who they claim are their new playing partners.. I get raped by the same skill level. I feel like I'm in a new school slump.
So I was just thinking if players just hit a peak, or style changes prevent them from playing their most comfortable game, or it's mental aspects..... or slumping is just a weak excuse for choboness. Do you think players do seriously slump or it's just other better players?

It's a highly competitve gaming environment. Gamers can lose to one another on any day. Usually if a highly skiled pro goes on a losing streak, bad luck has more to do with it than anything. I'd say slumping is showing performance over a period of a year or more. Neither Nada, Boxer, or Yellow slumped. A good example of player that we can truly label as slumping is Zeus

and what a long slump it's beenT_T

I think with SC, at their level if they start to change their style and play out of their normal realm... or their style becomes old hat, then they either have to change or become comfortable with it. I kinda think this has happened to a lot of Z users..
Also once you start losing its hard to start winning again once you are defeated in your head.

I think Junwi´s slump is getting longer than zeus´
|
zeus and nal_ra...
and chojja maybe?
|
Chojja is SO not slumping. He is top2 MSL regardless right now. If you are top 8 SL, u aren't slumping shit.
Zeus.. I dunno if it's a slump or if he's 2nd tier now.
Ra and Kingdom come to mind in SL's but their PL is doing strong so I dunno...
I'm more fascinated in stuff about SC than playing the game itself now..... strange.

zeus is all washed up. he is worse then semi-pro koreans
|
Yes, Chojja was... ever since Nada raped the bejesus out of him LOL...
Oh man, I was sooooooooooooooooooooo mad at Nada when he 3-0'd Jja. Plus he felt so bad for him LOL! That was one of the best Finals ever. Along with Garim Box, Yellow Box, Oov Box

IF YOU'RE TOP 8 SL, U ARENT SLUMPING SHIT
EXACTLY.
Nal_rA = Top 8 current MSL, top 6 to be more exact. He's not fucking slumping, omg. rA's record in proleague is incredible. He has also qualified for the next MSL. He is also 1 step away from becoming the 4th seed of the next OSL.

Which is why he got the last round of the duel tournament?

zeus is no longer a top pro. all his fans need to realise that. He's still very good though, but in a starleague he's just sad.
|
He's the toss's new "old mumyung"... woot!
Gogo I've-just-become-Eji #2!
Oh yeah and I forgot about Ra in MSL. His games vs Oov were so unimpressive though T.T
|
if you lose more than 2 straight it's considered a slump. If you have an overall win ratio of about %50 you're a washed up nobody. If you won a starleague then fail to make top 4 in the next one you're also in a slump. At least, that's what the general consensus for a slump is around here 
|
Well, if you were Seeded, then you fail to leave the group stage.. then fail to make the next OSL... that's a slump... I mean.. that's 2 whole seasons of fuckin up.

zeus isnt slumping, he was just really lucky early on
when your "slump" lasts longer than the period you were good its no longer a slump
|
ROFL good point -_-;; But Zeus has been around since Garim's time and he was still respectable until bout 2 years or so ago.
|
I think that if Nada gets more into his charity work, his mind will start to lead him into doing it for not only just himself/his dad but also for the various kids. Then I think he will start to become at least decent again.
|
i think that you need to update your strategy and style, with the change in the game. I Come back trying to use old pvt, but i recognized it doesn't work anymore with all the elky starts and other builds. So that is what i think it is :D
