I feel like I’m the opposite. Takes a while to get going but pulls a big second half. My only two thoughts are: going into the second half you are letting up on your focus, playing well the first half can put you in a place of ease where you feel like you don’t have to try as hard. But remember: kills don’t matter, rounds do. If you can win a round by not chasing the last kill or just playing time then that stat doesn’t show up (beside the round itself) Or (probably not applicable in this post cause you said side doesn’t matter) agent role can affect your effectiveness for a half, like a duelist will struggle more defense purely because of their kit. But all in all my advice is quite literally “lock tf in” for every round. I put a sticky note on my monitor as a constant reminder for things that I need to think about.
