The first and most common reason why people suck at the game is their inability to focus. That's right I know you thought that it was because you were always matched up with Bayo but nope. The #1 way to improve your game is to spend the entire match paying attention to your opponent and try to anticipate what he/she is trying to do. I have gotten 2 stocked by players who didn't even know what a perfect pivot was. As long as you remained focused on the game your anticipation will improve and in turn so will your tech. Practice focusing :)
