I've been playing ctb for 2 months now, and for skill-wise, i improved quite a lot, i can read AR 9 comfortably, i can FC below 3.50 star diff maps, i experiment with different kinds of mods (mainly HD, DT, and, HR) to set scores on leaderboards, and umm i mastered playing with Hidden mod (which is said to be the hardest mod to master). Rank-wise though just reached 4 digits a few weeks ago thanks to the pp rebalance in ctb, i don't really pp farm much or play pp farm maps, i just casually play different kinds of maps mostly convert maps (though i bet my rank would be higher if i farm pp maps)...and yeah that's all that happened this 2 months of me playing.
