It always feels like the enemy's aim is amazing or your teamate is just terrible, my hacking are holding me back and the enemy team is teamates every game. The thing is, even simple things like flicks bring out the worst in the enemy team, so is there a chance the models of our players are at fault, and not ourselves?
	First, let's look at a few situations, the first on b-site of cache. Let's first look at my perspective. It seemed like a normal shot, right? Well, lets look at it from his perspective. From what I can tell, it looks like I shot faster from his view. The reality of cold hard timing says otherwise, as in, I was in his perspective longer than he was in mine, which is strange considering how different the shots feel. Well, what's going on? I believe it has to do with anticipation. It sound simple and we all have an idea of this, but seeing it in text can clear this issue up more. As we know, if you're alert in expecting something, you can react with actions faster than if you were relaxed, or not expecting the actions in front of you. There's a fancy term for this with multiple tests with fancy data to support this basic concept, called perceptual reaction time. I have to say this is probably the reason we often feel the guy peeking you is wall hacking and must be pre-aiming you. But wait! Wasn't there a video over how peeker's advantage isn't really a thing and in most cases the defender has the upper-hand? Well, yes, but I think in cases like this it's different. The video is fantastic, and has a lot of data to support all the information, the guy is super smart and you should really look at his videos, but in this video, he states the physical reasons why a defender has the advantage is that their crosshair is set, they're prepared for the enemy while the attacker will be in a worse position and also has to stop moving before shooting. However, to me it appears anticipation has a larger effect.
	You may have seen this video I posted previously asking for you to review clips and your reaction times with them. There were some top tier memes in the spreadsheet, but the information really showed how assumption and anticipation really can change the outcome of something. In this clip, the reaction time of over ___ was ____, while in this clip, the reaction time was ______. This shows that the peeker will usually be able to react faster, even though in a lot of cases they will have a worse angle and will see the enemy later. In this position, when you know the callout the enemy is in, you can assume a lot more accurately where they are, than in this position and this position, where you need to be ready for the enemy to peek in two sides. Additionally, the person peeking knows when they're about to see the enemy, while the enemy has to be alert at all times as they don't know exactly when the attacker will show himself, because of this, the peeker can anticipate more accurately and can have faster reaction times. Like, if I said that a yellow square that will appear on screen after 3 seconds, clap when you see it, or if a yellow square will appear in the next thirty seconds, which do you think you'll be able to be more alert to. Or what if the yellow square is behind a wall, and you have to clap as soon as you look around it and see the square, versus the square coming out of one of these two sides and you having to clap? Exactly.
	In short, anticipation has a large effect on our reaction times, and can make us shoot super fast if we get to choose when to see the enemy, meanwhile the defender can be so focused only for so long, and suffer even though they have more time to set up. In other situations, the defender has to look at multiple places, while the peeker only has to choose one area, and that peeker can have a better idea of where the enemy is, meanwhile the defender has to pay attention to multiple angles. These combined can make for very fast looking shots even if you had the enemy appear on your screen before you appeared on theirs. This information doesn't discredit any of the other awesome information in the peeker disproved video, seriously the video is awesome.
	In this next clip, we both see each other at roughly the same time, and though I do have better cover, the fishiness of the clips is vastly different, take a look. HACKS RIGHT, totally preaimed him right? Well, nope. I have slower than average reaction times, like a lot lower, but being able to prepare myself to the exact second where the enemy only has a general idea of when I will peek out, I have a large advantage and look totally wall-y.
