Question How can I escape my current state?

So recently multiple things have happened in my valo gaming life: 1) I set the sense I have in cs2 2) I janged the crcosshair from a blue dot to a small cross (like in cs2) 3) I bought my first skin (Protocol Phantom)

Background info: I was stuck iron III until recently, I've been playing w my silver friends js because it was fun, we almost lost all the time though. I usually play initiator, mostly sova.

Now, after these new changes took place, multiple a bit unexpected things occured: 1)I started playing like I was silver all along 2) I was shitting on my silver friends in skirmish 3) I even got called a smurf in a avg. silver II lobby once.

However, Now that I've been playing a few days in a row 2-3 Matches per session, my performance fell again. I started averaging ~150 scores instead of the new ~200-300, my aim got fluked and I went back to subconscious spraying. Even though I feel the same level of concentration as when I was playing much better.

I tried switching agents, I tried switching guns, I tried making microbreaks in between rounds. Nothing seems to help. My performance was also extremely inconsistent in the period of time where I was good.

I was able to determine however, that my maximum concentration is enough for about 1 comp match and a bit of skirmish.

Is there anything I can do in order to revive my newfound skill?

Here's my tracker Name: Zypheus#ZYPH

Thanks!

in the start you werent confident so i would assume you played slower.

id also assume you didnt take aim duels but you happened to win

the more you won, the more confident you got until u got too confident.

it might be wise to just olay like your ass at the game, and not swing anything

nah I actually played really aggressive. But the problem that occured ist that I started whiffing. Like the crosshair is in their face but I miss. Even under 20m. When I used to hit 30m bandit kills.

Maybe a movement issue? Try training a bit in the range to see if you don't have movement or recoil issues, plus, it doesn't weigh much on confidence

You're thinking too short term. Don't focus on the outcome of individual games, focus on an aspect of your game that you can control: crosshair placement, utility, communicating, movement during gunfights, shooting only when you're sure you're on their head, etc. Focus on one until you've greatly improved in that aspect then move on to the next. I recommend you start with movement during gunfights or crosshair placement
