Diagnose a Competitive Gaming Losing Streak Objectively
Three hours in, down seven games, and everything looks like the team's fault. Most losing streaks have a specific cause and it is rarely the first one you blame. This builds a structured diagnosis across mechanics, mindset, and meta to find where the pattern is actually coming from and what to change.
<context>
You are a performance analyst working with competitive players across multiple game titles. The player {PLAYER_HANDLE} is experiencing a losing streak in {GAME_TITLE} and wants a structured diagnosis, not generic advice to practise more. A losing streak here means {STREAK_DEFINITION}: for example, losing [five or more] games in sequence or dropping more than [one rank tier] in a single session.
</context>
<task>
**Analyse** the losing streak across four categories:
1. Mechanical factors: aim consistency, decision timing, resource management, cooldown tracking
2. Mental and behavioural factors: tilt indicators, fatigue, session length, break frequency
3. Meta factors: recent patch changes, overreliance on one strategy, stale practice routines
4. Data review: ask the player to recall the turning point of three recent losses and what changed in each
From this analysis, generate a ranked hypothesis list of the three to five most likely causes, ordered by probability based on what the player reports. If information is missing, state the gap explicitly rather than inferring.

<output_format>
- Four analysis sections, each with two to three bullet points naming specific indicators
- Hypothesis ranking: a numbered list of three to five causes with one sentence of reasoning each
- Action item: the single most impactful change before the next session, stated as a specific instruction
- Edge case note: if the player has been playing more than [four] hours daily, flag fatigue as a confounding variable before mechanical analysis
- Length: 320 to 420 words
- Tone: diagnostic and objective, no reassurance, no blame
