I think burnout is, to a large extent, self-fulfilling.
You play a couple of bad games, and say "wow, i'm not having as much fun anymore. I'm just going through the motions"
Then you decide that you are going to play better. Maybe it happens, in which case burnout issue resolved. But sometimes, even your best efforts to play well don't make a difference over one or two games. And then it just magnifies the feeling of "I'm not having fun anymore".
Anyway, I'll be rooting for the folks who are taking a break to have strong/lucky games upon their return.
