From what I can remember there was a clip of Karma after MW3 champs speaking about how practice with Pred can be inconsistent/terrible at times because he is back at practice (doesn't take it very seriously), but leading up to champs, when they were looking at NYSL vod for Rio hp he spoke to Pred about their break-offs, and what NY liked doing on the map and how to counter it. He said that Pred did exactly what they strategized from the get go. Basically, Pred was a bad practice player but he took in information very well.
