Wrote down my late round mistakes for a bit and tilt isnt really the answer
Started writing down every dumb mistake i made after round 18 in a notes app a few weeks ago, mostly out of curiosity. Was assuming theyd line up with whether we were winning or losing, since those rounds always feel high pressure. They didnt really. They lined up with round count instead which threw me off a bit.
Had this round on Sunset last week as Cypher where i just forgot we had a cam on B main, full round goes by and i never check it once. Wasnt tilted, wasnt frustrated, just had nothing left in the brain to remember it. Same kind of thing has been happening a lot in the back half of long matches.
I read somewhere the brain can only hold like 7 things at once or something, and every val round adds more stuff to keep track of, ults and util and eco state. By round 20 youre carrying way more than that and stuff just slips. Probably some emotional element to it too, doesnt explain everything, but the round count pattern was way cleaner than i expected.
Started doing a quick econ recap with my duo at half so we dont have to remember it all, and pre-committing a few rotates by map so the brains not inventing them mid round. Cant say its been a massive jump, three weeks in the back half feels a bit less foggy though.
Could just be me. Curious if anyones bad rounds track more with the round count than the score, might just be 30 games of notes giving me bad pattern matching
