"When there is a tournament" doesn't really say anything about your availability
Also knowing what chars you play, specifically which ones you are looking for help with is also useful information
But anyways, reads is a combination observing player habits and how to capitalize on them going forward, but also understanding decision making and why people elect to go for what options. I don't think you're slow, more that you don't know what to be looking for and so you spend too much time thinking about options. Autopilot isn't inherently a bad thing
