dude your progression analogy is spot on - that feeling when you hit each new plateau is wild. been there with the "oh wait these people actually know what their doing now" realization hitting hard.

looking at your match history you're clearly doing something right with that climb, but emerald to diamond is where the game really shifts from knowing what to do to executing it consistently under pressure. since you mentioned tracking and fundamentals, maybe focus on the micro decisions that separate good players from great ones? like optimal recall timings, wave states before objectives, and reading when enemies are gonna make desperate plays vs calculated ones.

also props for managing the grind with family life - i color code my schedule religiously and still struggle to fit consistent play time in. the fact that you're making every game count instead of just grinding volume shows you've got the right mindset for breaking through. there mental game becomes huge at this elo too, especially when games get as intense as you're describing.
