What to do when CS2 & CSGO feel bottlenecked?

1. Review the Basics:
   • Revisit the game’s fundamentals, such as shooting skills, map knowledge, and economy management. Sometimes, even pros can slip up on certain fundamentals.
2. Analyze Videos:
   • Watch videos of yourself and other top players’ matches to identify your shortcomings while learning from others’ excellent strategies and techniques.
3. Change the way you train:
   • If you keep training the same way, it may lead to stagnation. Try new training methods such as adjusting training times, adding 1v1 practice, using different training maps, etc.
4. Physical and Mental Conditioning:
   • Make sure you are in good physical and mental shape. Proper exercise, a healthy diet, and plenty of rest are crucial to staying in top shape.
   • Mental training is also key, and can be done through meditation, counseling or mental games to improve concentration and ability to cope with stress.
5. Communication and Collaboration:
   • More communication with teammates and sharing each other’s ideas and strategies can lead to new inspiration.
   • Work with a coach or analyst who may be able to provide a different perspective and expert advice.
6. Rest and relaxation:
   • Sometimes overtraining can lead to bottlenecks instead. Proper rest and relaxation can help you rejuvenate and see things in a new light.
7. Set new goals:
   • Resetting short and long-term goals can help you find motivation again and focus on achieving them.
8. Technique and tactical innovation:
   • Trying out new game techniques and tactics and constantly innovating can give you an edge in the game.
9. Participate in different tournaments:
   • Participating in different tiers and styles of tournaments allows you to face different opponents and tactics, which can help improve adaptability and experience.
10. Personal mindset:
    • Stay positive and approach every failure as an opportunity to learn and improve.

Remember that everyone’s bottlenecks are unique, and finding the best solution for you is the key. It is also important to communicate and collaborate with teammates, coaches and other support staff.
