I do use it to my advantage calling often enough. I'll call out specifically flash deep site and clear car first. Or I'll have 2 people push mid on an A split to kill Yung and maybe 1 or 2 others. I have called out specific strats to kill Vic in that window because it opens up half the site. I will completely base my calls on how the people on the map are playing. If they are rotating quick or rotating through a specific route, I'll tailor calls to it. Tendencies still matter big time at TPG.

I watch. Look for patterns in play so I can exploit it later. Doing so lets you be predictive, if there are 3 T's up after rushing and planting at B where will they be playing? Should I worry about being flanked, is it to early in the round is it to late would the average player not come from that angle? Often you'll be turned the right way, prefire perfectly, nade a spot all of which you don't consciously know why you did it that way, its your brain spitting out an answer after doing the subconscious math of probability. Play enough rounds and your brain gets better and better at being predictive.

I rub one out and wait for the round to end. Maybe eat some chicken.

I usually run to the freezer and grab a few more ice cream sandwiches .... or toss another slice of pizza in the microwave ... or swap my laundry ... occasionally ill tinker with CAD for a work project between rounds.

a clue to my constant epic fail!
