Instead of swinging your crosshair around after you see someone, you park it head-level on the angle they're going to step out from. When they peek, you're already on them and it's a flick of nothing.

Good pre-aim is half game sense, half muscle memory. You learn where bodies appear on each map and your crosshair lives there before they ever show.

“His pre-aim is insane, he was already locked on the door before I even peeked.”
