Does anyone feel like it's a good idea to read lots of other peoples competitive games? Even if you just end up playing ranked, or even unranked.. it can help your personal headspace to understand some of the stranger parts of the game. I mean, in competitive a lobby, lots of people throw up a vote on a random player. They just sit there, and watch his various reactions. If I casually go about that in ranked, almost every player will accuse me of rushing my votes, and find me to be 'mafia'. But in a competitive game, they'd understand what i'm doing most of the time, and it would just casually play out as a mechanic in the game. I mean, in general, just seeing these setups in play and various interactions will build your natural tuition and ability to read.

My goal is to read 300 Competitive games, then find the top 5 winners and review 20 of each of their games. Then when the new round starts, i'll read games for each setup a bit before starting myself, and I think I could probably land a few trophies.

You guys should try it! We could genuinely just push the meta of the game and do some crazy plays!
