I don't think he's burned out at all. I think after winning osl, winning msl, winning title after title, he has nothing to work towards. He has no real goals. Added some luxury I would assume being on the A team and being an accomplished player, he probably wasted a lot of time not practicing [while still minimal due to the control on training] and thus has fallen even more. It's a lack of motivation to practice imo, and this is the correct move by the coaching staff to force him back into it.

Beating Firebathero so badly he cries? I think that's probably on his list.
I think this will be good for Savior. He will be at least to brush up. Get his drive back. A week of washing floors will tip him up in shape ^^. I think B-Team is better than not playing at all. Savior can be reborn when he owns in SC2 (if hes around). Has Darkelf been struggling? Didnt notice.
At least itll open up my B League dream match of Savior v Idra. Savior ftw. Keep fighting Savior! Ull get back there.

Yeah, but you really had to actually watch a full game of him playing to see it all. He was a master at the waiting and timing games, which fell through after his crushing defeat to Bisu. He played smart and seemingly intuitively during those times...
I hope the move to the B team helps. I really, really, realllllly do.
O, and I can't remember exactly when it happened (I think it was after the loss to Bisu, actually), but this is something I would definitely put in a Savior highlight:
Before this video starts, the Terran finds the base at one o'clock. Savior has four Lurks up in that area, two of which he burrows to catch the M&M moving towards the base. I'll call them Distractions. The other two he sends up higher, and burrows nearby the natural. I'll call them Surprise Sex. STC moves his M&M force up, and retreats upon being fired at by Distractions, the ones further out.
After STC retreats, Savior unburrows Distractions and puts them on top of the ramp. This is where the video (and the Surprise Sexing) starts.

it also says that B-team life in CJ Entus is much stricter. mandatory 10 hours a day of practice, internet use is prohibited other than freetime, etc.
it also states that savior will remain on the B-team until he gets past the qualifiers of both the MSL and OSL.
10 hours... no wonder CJ members are all so pale compared to say KTF or SKT members. 10 hours is too much, it can destroy someone's health completely.
It's also no wonder that every team has about 10 hours practice time LOL OWNED
8 hours in team Estro. What owned...? ...
estro gets like 11.5 hours practice I think
Idra posted a little while ago that it was 10.5. I don't remember which thread it was in.

Will winning in training vs weaker players or practicing more really fix his problem? I mean, what is his problem?
What I'd think is self confidence regained?
Maybe he'll be like wtf... these fucking noobs suck.. I am an A player baby and more ^_^
