I used to drink 2 liters of water when I played siege matches for -de-.  Having a player who has to go piss in the middle of matches was a good way to give the team a challenge, since the team was so stacked that I usually just refer to them as "Team Stack" when talking to people.  Even so, I usually waited for the break at the end of each map.  (On another note, in the only map we ever lost I spilled water on my keyboard right as it began.  On our worst map.)

Nowadays?  I don't even bother having a ritual.  I go in, wreck anything I can see, and burn out just as quickly.

A lot of this is simply knowing how the map plays; since each map is different from another, you must find out what objectives to accomplish on both team sides. For example, base raping might be all-paramount on one map, but a completely useless tactic on another. Combine that knowledge with routes (again, something gained by in-game experience) and "pinch points" that funnel/promote contact with the opposing side and you'll begin to have a feel for it. If you know the terrain (map) + what the enemy *is going to do ahead of time*, you have gone a long way in being prepared for what you want to accomplish.

As the old saying goes, "the field is king." There is just no substitute for experience, which you only get from pubs, scrims, and games. After game, identify what you did well and what you did poorly on and why. Adapt your tactics, goals, and strategies from that, and you'll be on your way.

If you are serious about prepping yourself, forget about music; complete silence helps me focus on the tasks at hand (mutefags.cs will change your life). Music might bring out passion, but that is no substitute for knowledge & focus.

p.s. Dry response but powerful.
