When your skill and talent are seemingly useless due to a series of unfortunate events, thus restricting you from winning or progressing.
Robert's friend was banned in CS:GO (a videogame) and the game demoted Robert to a lower division. Robert now struggles in the lower division due to an unlucky number of terrible teammates, and his skill is unrecognized. Robert's mastery paradox is haunting Robert, for fear that promotion to his true rank will take longer than expected, or worse, may never happen.
