So basically if I continue my analogy, you're a live poker pro.
Anyone who says that reviewing strats, demos, or anything like that is marginal at best must have played the game back in 2004, and for a short time at that. To be marginally successful in CSS back in 2004 all you had to do was have decent aim, not even good aim. The game has completely evolved since then, just like poker, and "just playing" will no longer be enough to even last in the leagues below invite.
Back in the days of CAL/CEVO/CGS (you probably don't even know what CGS is right?), I was known for being a very solid awper...probably one of the better ones in NA, what I did back then would no longer work in today's competition at the top levels. Every map, every bombsite, every angle is broken down to a science (counter-flashes, pop flashes etc...) that unless you know everything yourself, there is no way you stand a chance to even win a round.
Don't sound to be mean, but you would remember if you were CPL caliber. So by the fact that you a) don't know your team name from back then, and b) are unsure of whether or not you were CPL, I am guessing you weren't at that level. Also, just because you played cpl_mill does not mean you were CPL level. Mill was used in other leagues such as CAL, CEVO, CGS and ESEA until recently (and even other worse leagues that only baddies played like OGL).
