You're practicing the wrong thing. Offline smoke training teaches you where to throw. Your problem is when to throw — which you can only learn in live rounds against real opponents.

CoachX pulled your last 10 rounds. Your smoke landing accuracy is 87% — nearly perfect. But the timing relative to the CT's position is wrong in 6 of those 10 rounds. You're throwing to a schedule you created in practice, not responding to what the CT is actually doing.

Stop offline smoke practice for one week. Instead: play 5 rounds where you only throw a smoke after you've identified the CT's position from sound. Your P4 score will jump.

CoachX timestamps both your smoke throw and the CT's last confirmed position from sound data. At 1:29 when you threw, the CT was stationary at van for 4.2 seconds. He didn't start rotating until 1:26 — 3 seconds after your smoke landed.

The panic feeling you describe is real but it's not based on actual information. Your entry fragger's movement triggered your throw, but he's not the threat — the CT is. This is what I mean by information state: you had the information (CT stationary at van), you just weren't consciously processing it.

This is also why your P2 score is actually higher on rounds you win — when you do process information correctly, your utility follows and the round is cleaner.

K/D measures whether you win duels. P5 measures whether your kills happen at the right time in the right sequence.

CoachX found 3 rounds in your last match where you got kills outside the trade window — meaning your entry fragger died 4–8 seconds before you killed the CT who killed him. That's too late to count as a trade. The round was already lost numerically.

A clean trade is within ~2 seconds. A kill at 5 seconds is just a kill — it doesn't restore the economic and positional damage of losing your entry fragger. Your P5 score penalises late kills specifically because they don't recover round equity. Your aim is fine. Your timing is slightly off.

This is the entire point of CCS. The "amazing" clutch you remember probably involved a decision made under heavy disadvantage — info unknown, utility spent, map control lost. You won it on individual skill and the game rewarded you. CCS doesn't reward outcome, it rewards decision quality given the state you were in.

The "quiet" 74-CCS round? You probably set a smoke that blocked the CT rotation, flash-assisted the entry, then traded correctly when the entry died. Nobody noticed. Fox wouldn't call it. But it was nearly perfect execution of the support role.

That's the plateau problem CoachX solves. FACEIT ranks you on round outcomes. CoachX ranks you on decisions. Players who win the decision layer consistently eventually win the outcome layer too — just more reliably, with less variance.
