back in august (when i didnt suck) and sometimes couldnt play online, loading 5-7 bots on dm17 with a rail-based config did wonders, and i still can play that map, even though i suck ass at times...

Now i just dont have enough time, period, but still make time for EVOl, BNT and xXx

practice? i don't know, i've never played to be good (but it is frustrating if you have a drop in performance)
whatever happened to fun?
i would take a good break if you are really worried about a drop in performance (5 hours is a lot, boredom does occur. You can only kill someone so many times before you get tired of it)

yes it happens to me frequently which is why i take a week to a few or perhaps even a month off at times

i also find playing an easy game to help get your wrist/hand etc 'warmed up' i guess is an easy way of putting (no tension, hard pressure, etc. it will lead to healthier habits physically and playing) it helps a bit opposed to playing a hardcore game right when you get on, perhaps even stretching your arm/wrist etc before you play could help
of course i do not exercise that last part as much but it does work for me when i do do it

just play if u feel like playing.

agree, if u play a config that has harder aspects, e.g weapons, movement, (cpma/iu/defrag) ur e+ skills will improve in those specific areas this is why if u ask a lot of the top players, they play more than 1 mod/cfg

i've lost my skills and i dont care. all that remains is the spam

i agree with taking a break. although concentration is the key... see how you can make yourself concentrate and that's half the battle.
