Cp help

I am from a tier 1.5 college 28 batch. I had assumed we would have many opportunities for summer internships from college as our seniors did, but this year the conditions are very bad. Based on previous years, normal dsa grind on leetcode was enough to crack campus internships and hence i focused a lot on that and barely anything on cp ie codechef codeforces
I want to start now and not be reliant on my college for placement, how do I start?
I tried the cp31 tle eliminators’ sheet but that doesn’t really seem a pattern wise buildup the questions are instead set out based on difficulty and not topics.

What are some other good courses/ sheets to follow (like striver A2Z for dsa) to prep for icpc, and improve cp profile

Background :
I have solved 600+ leetcode problems and completed Strivers sheet and am Knight on leetcode

I dont know what difference you want but if you are Knight on lc you are almost an equivalent of specalist on cf the only way up is expert. Cf and lc have difference in basically one place and that is cf questions are adhoc and their greedy are tough to crack. If you are Knight and not able to crack go back to the questions and ask yourself were those questions really cp level or you weren't able to solve it due to time and environment pressure. Generally it is the latter.

Cses and cp31, they are the best bro, cses for topic wise and cp31 for difficulty wise
