Psychology: The Secret Ingredient for Success is Intuition

Okay, now we reach the most useful factor that will make EVERYONE call you a hacker. No, it is not located on a specific site on the internet; it is located, unbelievably, deep inside your brain. INTUITION as complicated as it sounds, is basically, guessing. Yes, guessing. What? How can guessing help me? Well, let me introduce you to INTUITION.INTUITION is the hardest thing to teach, as it is very hard to explain. However, the best way to explain is to show it to you. When you use all the advantages mentioned before, you can use that to come up with a hypothesis or educated guess about what the other team is doing or will do, and gain an advantage over them. By doing so, you hack your brain into thinking that the hypothesis will happen, and when you do so, you gain a massive boost in confidence to help. One can usually come up with a guess and use that, but intuition is a kind of gut feeling that you HAVE to be confident in. Don’t think “They will be going tunnels right?” rather think “Based on what has happened in the round, I KNOW, I AM SURE that they are going tunnels” and setup as if they are on their way there and they are running in, imagine them running in and execute. This confidence is your guess will help you so that if they do come, you were already ready physically, and most important, mentally, for the opposing team members. To the other team it will seem as if you knew EXACTLY what they were going to do, but you didn’t, it was all just a very well thought guess that you believed in. Let me show an example of what intuition looks like in-game:The round starts normally. I pick up my gear and head to A site. I see my teammates watching B and A long, leaving mid exposed on purpose. I imagine I am a T and I am moving to CAT, I time the grenade and throw it. Then, I peek and catch a glimpse of one Terrorist. I call it out whilst I move to the right of the box and take him out. I see that my teammate mid and long are dead. Because of this, I move to watch Long and CT Ramp if they try to go CT Spawn to A. I peek, put my crosshair ready for the reaction, and I land a shot on someone going Pit. It was the bomb. From here on, I reevaluate the situation. Bomb is priority. There might be coming Middle to CT Spawn, Long, or Cat. I see my teammate going B tunnel and gain a little bit of confidence. I flash CT Spawn to see if I can catch a Terrorist whilst vulnerable. I now move to Short and lower my angles. I only have to watch two (CAT and Long. If the CT goes to A, I can see him first). Sometime passes and I see my teammate looking at CT Spawn, it must be clear. I then move to watch the next two spots they could come from (CAT and LONG) I do not have to worry about CT anymore. I think, "If they are smart, they will try to corner me by one going long and one cat. Therefore, I set my crosshair in the middle so I can facilitate a shot for each direction. I GUESS that CAT will go first then long, I peek CAT...and sure he was on his way to throwing a grenade. I then think that the other person would probably back off CAT, if he was there, or go and continue long to try to get the bomb. I then set in the middle and wait for him to come. I am so sure he will come long that I ready myself for the shot, and as I do, he comes in and I take him out. That last flick shot, although lasting a second, to me lasted 3 seconds due to me being so into the game that I caught the information faster than usual. I call this "The Matrix Effect" and I will talk about it later in the guide. I calm down after the amazing shot I claim, and ready for the next round.The second guide (link at the end) talks into more detail about an “intuition-based” technique called “Area of Potential Hostility” that facilitates the practice and use of intuition and many of the advantages.
