A Slow Decline<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Many users believe the team won\u2019t suddenly collapse but will gradually lose consistency:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"custom-bq\"><div class=\"custom-bq-q\"><p>Even if they start winning only every third or fourth tournament, that\u2019s still extremely impressive.<\/p><\/div><\/blockquote>\n<p>This scenario reflects a typical decline pattern where:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"article-list-pink\">\n<li class=\"article-list-pink__item\">win frequency drops<\/li>\n<li class=\"article-list-pink__item\">but the team remains competitive at big events<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>2.
