Bomber slumping?
His macro is still better than just about anyones, but he just doesn't seem to be making the right decisions the last month or so According to Doa / Wolf, Bomber's been slightly shaken up (mentally) due to his overconfidence. In all the games that he has offensive muled etc, he expected to win, but he ended up losing and looking a bit silly. They mentioned that players around Bomber had notified them that he was slightly shaken up by the losses and wasn't playing as well as he can recently. He's still an absolute monster, maybe going through a dip in form for the time being.
That's not what I heard Wolf say. Though he did mention that Bomber's offensive MULEing probably gave him some losses he otherwise would not have had (true), that's not really the root of the issue, according to Wolf. Apparently, what's going on is Bomber feeling overburdened by everyone's expectations that he play well. He wanted to make it big, but now that he's known as one of the best Terrans in the world (top three, IMO), it's causing him to choke, which in turn shakes his confidence in his game, which in turn makes him choke even more, etc. It's a nasty cycle that's leading into a dip in form.
I also think his travel schedule has been hurting him quite a bit, but give him a while. He'll bounce back. Have faith, people! Be patient, and let him sort out his issues at his own pace. I find that people tend to expect too much, too quickly out of a lot of high-profile players -- see: MMA, Bomber, Moon, Grubby, even MC, etc. -- but give Bomber a bit of breathing space, and he'll come back swinging like all the other players I listed.  He needs to put the expectations of his fans out of his mind and just focus on his play.

I'm sad that he is back to code a.
Bomber is definitively one of the best players in the world, but he has nerves issues and can be inconsistent.

Guys....
please bear in mind that u do need to use spoiler tags....
But yes, Bomber does need our support right now
|
couldn't watch the games tonight (exam study) but i was seriously afraid of this happening.
don't worry guys, bomber had nerve issues before and he got over them. he'll do it again, i'm sure of it. He shouldn't worry about pressure to do well, because his true fans will support him regardless of if he's suffering from nerves or not.
all the travel can't have been good for him either. As much as I love Bomber to attend foreign tournaments, it'd probably be better for him if he stays in Korea for a bit after Providence.
also, to the person above me, it's okay, spoiler tags aren't needed here. if you don't want to know how bomber did, just don't come into his fanclub.

i'm sure bomber will celebrate a huge comeback in a few weeks. he got the skill, he'll get the nerves, he'll get the wins.
gogo bomber!

Code A sure isn't what it used to be. When you finally qualify for the GSL and realize you are matched up against Bomber on Day 1.....

Damn so sad

Somewhere out there, Rainbow is swearing up a storm. Bomber should be able to crush him even at 50%. No disrespect to Rainbow, ofc -- love the dude -- but Bomber's just that much better than him.

A sad day indeed. I really hope that he can get his practice schedule back on track and make deep runs in Code S where he belongs.
My predictions: December GSL Code A Champion. January Code S Champion.

There's no such thing as Code A champion anymore  .

Sadly, I haven't been paying attention to the new format changes. I'm at the final stages of writing my MS thesis. =P
Care to explain how it works now?

Well here's a thread that explains it http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=279855, but for Code A
Bomber has been placed in ro32. The 16 that advance from ro32 will be in the ro24 with the bottom 8 from RO 16 Code S groups. The winners of ro24 go straight to code S, the losers go to the up/downs.

Well that's confusing. I guess I can only be held accountable for my January Code S Champion prediction then!

hehe! It's not too confusing once you get to grips =)
It's pretty neat really, while Bomber could potentially drop right out of the GSL this season if he somehow loses to Rainbow, he can also make it straight back to Code S if he manages to go on a tear.
In a way perhaps this might be a good thing for him, if he can string together some wins against a lower tier of competition hopefully he can use that momentum going forward.

Yea, it sort of reminds me of the loser's bracket from an MLG tourney.
Best of luck to Bomber, I really hope he starts killin' it.

Hi my fans
I,m very sad about recent games
I know that you are worried about my bad conditon
It was caused by tight travel schedule(MLG Raleigh,Redbull Lan party,MLG Orlando,Sweden BenQ event)
I don,t have time to practice GSL Code S,and always in bad condition
i know that i have to practice in korea instead travel
but MLG Orlando.. i promised to MLG fans that i would go MLG Orlaando so i have to go
and Redbull Lan party..i went there to contract with redbull
I’m just telling for the first time this,Red Bull is my sponsor(not team,just about me)
and BenQ event..i just want to practice at ST house but i don,t have option
so i had just 1 day to practice GSL Code S always
and i have jet lag too,it made me terrible conditon
so I`ll not participate any tournament untill December 31 expect MLG providence
I think it`ll be my last tournament in this year
I am pretty sure that i`ll comeback soon if i have little time to practice
I'm sorry to have troubled you
I'm not gonna let you down any more^^
See you at MLG!! bye
ps: don,t worry about nervous problem, i don,t have nervous problem at all

It's okay Bomber, we <3 <3 <3 you! I will be at Providence and will give you a HUGE hug, win or lose!
