Hi, welcome to the forums! Hope you have a great time here.

With regards to your question, with current methods you can get to sub-20 purely through practise and drilling.

A few more specific tips from me would be:
1) improve lookahead (by focusing on the pieces you are not solving- this can be a headache but trust me it will prove invaluable)
2) Look into some other methods besides just CFOP as these can give you alternate ways to solve which is always a plus (at least the other methods in the "big four" (ie Roux, Petrus and ZZ))
3) if you decide to stick with CFOP, finish learning OLL.

Hope this helps! And have a great time on the forums!

looking ahead is where you plan your next step while doing the one previous, eg if you do cross in CFOP you're already looking for your first or even second pair while doing that.

Tbh I don't really know anywhere with good petrus tutorials, the best I can do with that is the wiki page though I'm sure that if you ask in the one question answer forum or similar you will be able to find someone with one

Welcome to the forums! Be sure to check out the WCA page for competitions as well. There's one coming up at NIT Calicut on October 31st. Try going there and mixing with more experienced cubers. You'll learn faster that way.
