>Your performance after 10, maybe 20, hours is basically your skill level forever
This is wrong and I hope nobody falls for it. Playing with /vrg/ is going to be a difficult way to get into Pavlov, they're better than most pub players because most pub players are complete mouthbreathers and they play reguarly so know the maps well. There's a lot you just won't learn in those 10 or 20 hours, little things that rarely get a chance to be tested, map specific strategies or the ability to predict what the regular players will do in a given situation. There will always be more to learn that will make you a better player where better performance will follow. Sometimes it's also just about finding what works well for you, which sites you are better at defending, which guns you can control and whether you prefer virtual stock or not. These will all change in a period of time much longer than 20 hours. I started with those k/ds of 0.1 or 0.2 and maybe got it to 0.5 at 20 hours if I was playing well, 100 hours later with incremental improvements along the way and it rarely drops below 1.0. 100 hours sounds like a long way but regular weekly play quickly racks that up.
