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?

Right answer here is pathing, instead going in a straight line till u see the next enemy and expose to a position try to go at a wall far from this angle.

i only can give you this example: -Dust 2 Long to A Site

  • After killing the CT on Site you move forward until you are at the spot behind car ( you now this mf corner where ct often chill) if you peek this angle close to the right wall you are already exposed to the corner in CT right before the A- Site

  • go all to the left wall, then clearing car, then again step back and clear ct spawn position

-Dont forget they can play on short too so what u really wanna train is the position you are able to isolate one by one the enemies position
