If I were Maru and trying to win the Katowice StarCraft II tournament, which steps from the above would you recommend ? ChatGPT: As a competitive Starcraft player, you likely have a rigorous training schedule and a strong focus on performance. In this context, I would recommend the following steps to help mitigate the effects of jet lag when traveling to compete in the Katowice tournament: 1.Gradual sleep pattern adjustment: Try to gradually adjust your sleep pattern in the days leading up to the trip to help your body adapt to the new time zone. 2.Hydration: Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water, as dehydration can exacerbate jet lag symptoms and affect your focus and energy levels during the tournament. 3.Schedule and routine: Maintain a consistent schedule for eating, sleeping, and exercising, as this can help reduce the impact of jet lag and keep you in a routine that supports peak performance. 4.Light exposure: Make sure to get exposure to natural light upon arrival, especially in the morning, to help reset your body's internal clock. 5.Exercise: Incorporate exercise into your daily routine, as this can help combat fatigue, improve sleep quality, and keep you in top physical condition for the tournament. 6.Minimize alcohol and caffeine: Avoid alcohol and caffeine, as they can disrupt sleep patterns and exacerbate jet lag symptoms. 7.Consider melatonin: If necessary, consider taking a melatonin supplement before bedtime to help regulate your sleep-wake cycle and reduce jet lag symptoms. It's important to remember that everyone is different and what works for one player may not work for another. It's also important to listen to your body and make adjustments as needed to ensure you are performing at your best during the tournament. | ||

This straight up seems like a personal attack at Maru lol At least he does drink water | ||

Also to this 10y point, I like Maru and want to see him do well, but it's not like Korea discovered airplanes and time differences yesterday (in fact and perhaps ironically, none other than Jin Air was an important sponsor of the scene). With this in mind, here goes. Thanks, ChatGPT ! If an athlete doesn't do any of these things, who should they blame ? ChatGPT: As an AI language model, I do not assign blame or hold opinions on personal responsibility. However, if an athlete does not take steps to mitigate the effects of jet lag, it is ultimately their own responsibility to manage their performance and health. It's important for athletes to take their health and performance seriously and take the necessary steps to prepare for competitions, including addressing the effects of jet lag. By not taking these steps, they may be putting their performance and overall health at risk. However, it's also important to remember that everyone is different and what works for one person may not work for another. There may be factors outside of an athlete's control that impact their ability to prepare effectively for jet lag, such as a tight travel schedule or other health issues. Ultimately, the goal should be to find a balance between preparation and performance, and to work with medical professionals and coaches to find the best approach for individual needs and circumstances. | ||

I traveled around the globe (form Europe to North America, Southeast Asia and Australia) for sport competitions in the past and never realy felt any impact on my performance because of jetlag. You would also need to factor in other changes, like food. Korean food and Polish food are very different. But the travel early to counter jetlag is something that Maru really should consider. He has complained about it repeatedly and you can see the in his face the difference between a long and gruelling day near his home compared to being in Europe. He is very much afflicted. With the way Katowice is a yearly event, I am surprised that the Koreans haven't made preparations, a Korean house a la Noregret's foreigner house in South Korea or something similar. | ||

For starters, even if there is a huge skill gap between the top players and some lower tier of still-professional players, what evidence do you have that issues with circadian rhythm only affect those top players, and not anybody else? Changes in circadian rhythm affect everyone differently, but it does affect most of the population. The differences in skill doesn't really matter that much for low level players, whereas slightest changes matters for top players. I was a low master's league, it doesn't really matter if I am jet-lagged or drunk, I was more or less +/- that league. Could win when I was not in optimal condition. However, for top-level sports athletes, it really matters, you are not breaking the world record with a sub-optimal condition. (I have always been on this forum, been watching every single premier tournament since 2010, but yes, this is a new account that I just created) | ||

The most underperforming players are Clem (-14) and Bunny (-16). Oliveira has a top 8 secured allready, wich means he also exceeded expectations by at least 13 places already | ||
