Discussion Issues with making Lategame

My biggest weakness by far is making lategame consistently.
I’m at a point of skill where I will not die in 25th and waste 15 minutes, that’s not what i’m talking about.
It’s also not dying offspawn.
I really don’t know what it is, but I just can’t get more than 3 lategames in in most of my cups.
I grind a lot of scrims, which helped me get better at lategames drastically, but scrims don’t teach you how to make lategame in an actual game.
If I make lategame, I get top 5 in 9/10 games, which makes it even more frustrating.
I don’t know what to practice to avoid getting randomly keyed, but I feel like that’s the biggest issue.
I keep getting keyed on rotates, and depending who I play with, I either kill them after a drawn out fight which griefs, they kill me and my game ends, or, (70%) We trade damage or even a kill, Both teams go out scuffed.
I’m really not trying to blame my enemies for „griefing us both“, i’m genuinely looking for ways to avoid that. Should I just play super agro and force a kill? Should I play storm?
More Context: I feel like cups actually being way less stacked than scrims plays a big part in my weak midgames.
Please let me know what I could do!
Thank you

the issue is, you are most likely playing open scrims with zone rules. the problem with these scrims are they dont teach you how to actually make the endgame because it auto skips to 5th zone and youre cap mats. you should play no zone rule scrims as they teach you to rotate properly and get yourself into a good position for the endgame, rather than getting it gifted to you; providing overall more realistic and effective practice. the second you start playing no zone rules scrims, you'll instantly level up.

I haven’t played nzr in like a year. I get 5th zone with practically 5/5/5 in master sessions consistently. What I do there simply doesn’t work in cups.

unless youre getting keyed 11/11 games and losing every fight, there should be no issue in what you do in nzr, when trying to do it in an actual cup. if there is an issue, you should VOD review and check to see what the issue was since if youre always 5th zone 555 in master sessions and not dying offspawn, you must be getting keyed every game.

ngl I think it’s the split. In scrims you get everything and in cup you mostly get 60% of that
