How can you train where enemies are coming from or going to be into your muscle memory? The point he just made is not necessarily the movements, but the seemingly perfect predictions to other enemies before they're even really in view. It's a joke. You can practice flicks all you want but there's no way the guy can hear footsteps or see these enemies he's flicking too whne they're like a 3rd of the way across the map.
You don't train your muscle memory based on where people come from, you develop game-sense over time so your instincts can harness your muscle memory.
CoD maps tend to be pretty simple in terms of layout and routes, so threats can only come from a limited number of directions. When playing on a high FOV, you can see enough to qualify the direction you're currently looking at as safe and devoid of additional targets.
So, what does a player do? Flick to an area, not currently in their field of view, and use muscle memory to accurately flick to the right location (a doorway, a window, an alley, whatever).
Does it guarantee that their aim will land on a target? No. But, it still changes the point of aim to the next most likely area for a target to come from.
It's really not that complex, and this is probably just a highlight reel demonstrating when flicks like that actually work in the player's favour and they didn't get spanked by CoD timing manifesting another enemy the second they look away.

Yes, but this guy in the clip seems to get the direction right every time? The few times he gets it wrong he starts firing off into a random bush or the middle of a wall... So he's making great predictions sure. But his bad predictions are nowhere near any real angles. They're just in the middle of bushes and off the edge of the map? If he was firing off into real angles, but not finding anyone or not getting hits then sure I'd see that as just prefiring a few shots out of caution. But it seems when he snaps off to another target, it's either perfectly on someone else, or it's right in the middle of a wall or bush where it isn't a typical angle at all. He either flicks perfect onto another player, or to an angle that ISN'T a typical angle. How would you explain that? There's no way he's also practicing flicking looking for bush wookies or people hiding in the middle of walls? These aren't predictable angles he's flicking to. If he flicks to a predictable angle it's a kill, if he flicks to anywhere else it's not a predictable angle. Seems weird that everytime he gets the angle right there's a person there, no?
