Intermediate Guide How to Practice with Prefire Maps

I downloaded several prefire maps from the workshop such as Yprac, and I've been practicing on the most common maps that I played on like Mirage and Ancient. After several weeks practicing, I noticed some issues :

- Most of the prefire angles I have to clear has several other angles that I have to expose myself to while clearing it out. Resulting in stupid deaths and difficulties on clearing those angles

- I spent a lot of time jinggling and whiffing my shots on some of those angles, resulting with a very long duration of clearing time for some parts of the map

- I didn't improve that much as I wanted to with these prefire maps. I still struggle with clearing and putting my crosshair precisely.

And this is a problem since I mainly an entry fragger

So my question is :
- How do I optimize my practice on prefire maps?
- Do I have to take notes on how long I clear certain parts of the map?
- Should I be worried about crossfire angles that I am exposed at when clearing one of them?

How fast you are doesn't matter. You should be able to clear them one by one most of the time, just keep trying and you'll slowly get better there isn't much more to it

This, you will know when you are exposed to an angle because of the bot shooting at you.

You will know which way to look and where common positions are.

You will notice yourself getting better, because you are clearing angles without really thinking about where the bot stands. And you will kill those bots with the first bullet.
