WHAT IS BOOTCAMP

Every step up in Counter-Strike felt like entering a new world of secrets

As I climbed through the ranks and made my way to better and better teams, I noticed something: the best insights were often hidden.

Most players aren't good teachers so the only way to learn from them, is to play with them. I also saw cases of players withholding info to preserve their edge.

I'm Ty "simba" Sherback, and I made Bootcamp to help you, the many, access all the knowledge and wisdom of the few.

This course is about breaking down walls and levelling the playing field in a game that requires a lot more than just aim to be at the very top.

The way I see it, more skilled players means better teams which lead to better matches. These matches will result in more fans that ultimately grow this esport I love so much.

Bootcamp is the guide I wish I had early in my CS journey.

May it help you in yours so together we can grow this esport together and make sure it's at the top for many more years to come.

what to expect

From hardstuck to hero: become the first pick

You've climbed your way up through Gold Nova and perhaps a little further.

You've also realized your aim won't carry you any further after being humbled by team mates who talk about nade lineups and use other strategies than a fast B-split.

While we can’t replace hours of gameplay, we offer the wisdom to use those hours wisely by giving you a toolbox filled with pro strategies.

Real improvement comes with time and persistence, and here, you’ll learn how to make every hour count. But you still need to bring the grind.

LESSON OVERVIEW

Unlock your potential with preparation

A warmup routine will help you increase your consistency and maximize your potential every game.

How pros make aiming look easy

The best players in the world don't rely on their aim to frag out. It all comes down to where they aim before the fight.

48 laws of peeking: movement is power

Your movement deserves just as much practice as your aim does. Here's why.

Lethal blindness: The art of the Flashbang

Why staying lethal without firing a shot helps you rank up fast.

Communication separates Pros from Average

Aim alone can certainly win you rounds, but bad communication will make you lose even more.

Stay a step ahead with Gamesense

Make your opponents feel like they're playing checkers while you're playing grandmaster chess.

Hey, I'm Ty

You might also know me as simba. I've played FPS games since before I could speak and I've been obsessed about how to improve my skill level ever since (ok, maybe since I could read).

Counter-Strike became the focus of my obsession and lead me to play 13 seasons of ESEA league, ranging from Open to Advanced over the course of 6 years.

Each time I climbed the competitive ladder, I got to play and learn from players far more talented than me. When I thought I had learned it all, and just needed better aim, these better players helped me realize that there was yet another level to the game.

I don't claim to be the best but I know most material in this course will be new to many of you.

I wish I had something like this early on in my competitive CS journey. I hope it will help you on yours.

FAQ

What happens after I sign up?

After a few short minutes you'll receive an email with a link to the first lesson. Over the next 5 days we'll send a new lesson each day.
‍
Why not send it all at once? 

Each lesson contains lots of info as well as specific actions you can take to absorb the knowledge and add these new skills to your game.

Remember, just reading our content won't be enough. You have to put in the effort. Take action after each lesson and we can (almost) guarantee you'll be a much better player at the end of the course.

Is there a minimum skill level for this?

Bootcamp was built to be accessible to anyone who have played enough competitive Counter-Strike to grasp the rules of the game.

However, whether you’re a seasoned veteran or a complete noob, don’t let your skill level stop you from going through the course. You may find a new way to practice a simple fundamental or discover it for the first time. There’s a little something for everyone, pinky-promise.

Why are you giving it away for free?

Ty combined all his learnings in Bootcamp because he first and foremost loves the game and wants to pass on what other have passed on to him.

Second, he chose to produce it with the help of the team from TLDR and with early feedback from its community of readers.

TLDR runs an email newsletter that helps fans stay on top of the most important news, results and rumours in the pro Counter-Strike scene. When you sign up for Bootcamp, you'll also receive their newsletter.

TLDR selects sponsors to advertise in the newsletter and that's what helps keep amazing content like both the newsletter and the course, free for you.
