Yes, but it is more nuanced than that. Not that great at LoL, but in rocket league, I have sort of a 6th sense for how people will play up to a certain level. Badminton as well actually. Sometimes it feels like I can read the future when I simply calculated 3-4 hits ahead of time, and like the GP, it is supremely satisfying.

You have to calculate the probability of them hitting, also account for misses, and explore your reaction to each possibility in this tree, it sounds easy but only comes after 1000 hours or so of play..

In the code example, with that level of exp you would also foresee the possibility of failure and account for that. The more times you get knifed, the less often it happens.
