How to stay in top 10

[CallMeGrug_]

I post a lot!
Tonight I was able to get top 10 after about two hours of hard work and a well timed reset. The question now becomes how do I stay there?
Play really conservative?
Be as aggressive as possibles?
I am really not sure but I would love some suggestions!

Go try hard and get as many kills as you can before you die is my advice, no sarcasm or anything.
