I've been trying to find a good configuration for my play, and I thought I had found one with my mouse sensitivity on widows set to 8/10, and then ingame, set at 3.3x. When I bumped up my sensitivity I immediately noticed an improvement in my skill level, but now I've been plateauing for a little while and thought nothing of it, until I was watching a streamer on twitch and he mentioned that any dpi is ok unless it's "not something crazy like 4000+ dpi", and that got me thinking about my mouse sensitivity, and made me realize I have no clue what my dpi is, so I started working to figure it out.
First thing I know is that I use a Razer Abyssus 1800 and from what I'm reading it's an 1800 dpi mouse, as per the name. if I raise the ingame sensitivity by 3.3x that's 5940 dpi, a ways past "something crazy like 4000" dpi already, but then I also cranked the sensitivity up in windows to almost max. Does this also chage the ingame dpi? By how much?
Basically what I wanna ask is first, have I figured out my dpi correctly? I play presumably at or above 5940 dpi? And second, is it unreasonable? Because sometimes it feels unreasonable, like with any jumps above a 5* level currently feel a lot like like luck is required. Also, if I check this google doc:

I seem to be far and above any other of the top players in dpi already. So should I consider lowering sensitivity and take the learning curve on the chin?
Finally, I started raising my sensitivity because I felt that I shouldn't be running my mouse too much across my mousepad, and basically wanted to reach any area with a simple wrist or finger movement. I was also having trouble with small hangups on the mousepad and whatnot. Do pro players really use more than just their wrist in order to play?
