Should I quit Counter-Strike 2 and competitive games in general?

Here's how that Premier Season 2 Medal looks in Counter-Strike 2. The color shows your skill how high your CSR rating is. For example I have 18.000 CSR rating that would be purple. Additionally you get one colored bar for 25 wins each with a maximum of 5 bars that is 125 wins.

I wanted to get 125 wins but it's so time consuming and not even fun. I only have 12 wins. Either I get the full 5 bar medal or nothing at all. I could play more fun games like Everquest P99 or Left 4 Dead 2 that do not force me to play on time.

And when Premier Season 2 ends obviously there will be Season 3 and I will want to get another 125 wins. I guess it is better to quit now instead of becoming addicted to a game I don't like playing just to get a medal on my profile ingame...

I do like grinding for stuff like max ranks, level-ups and increasing inventory wealth and I'm sure you do too otherwise you wouldn't be playing Everquest. But 125 wins means I should get 2 wins everyday from now with a 50% winrate that's 4 games each day and one game lasts 15 to 20 minutes.

It's just intense and you have to concentrate to win. It's just not fun. In Everquest and Left 4 Dead 2 you can just relax and have fun because it's not that competitive at all. Maybe I'm getting too old for these highly competitive games like CS2 and Dota 2. It's more stressful and frustrating than it is fun.
