5 Games a Day Is Making You Worse

Playing more games is the standard advice for climbing. I think it's wrong for most people — and there's a simple reason almost nobody accounts for. Your performance drops with every game you play. Game one you're at 100%. By game five you're tired, tilted, autopiloting. Average that out and you're playing well below your actual ceiling — which means you sit at a rank below your actual skill. I hit Grandmaster playing two games a day while working full-time. This is the math behind why that works. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ The video that started this: Coach Kirei — "If I Wanted to Climb to Grandmaster in 2026, This is What I'd Do"    • If I Wanted to Climb to Grandmaster in 202...   Genuinely good video, worth watching in full. I'm only disagreeing with one specific claim in it. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ WATCH LIVE Twitch → twitch.tv/eloperhour YouTube →    / @eloperhour   START HERE I Hit Grandmaster Playing 2 Games a Day → [manifesto link] ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Support main on EUW, Grandmaster peak, 5 years coaching solo players and teams.
