In my lesson, I plan to teach the customer ANYTHING and EVERYTHING you would like to know in the time frame.

I love to ask for what the customer wants help in, because he may not need help in a certain something and I will just end up wasting valuable time.

I was the primary AWP'er in every team I have been in, and this gun is my masterpiece. I will go on to teach you about ways to shoot this gun, change your zoom_sensitivity_ratio, and drill you so you can master this gun as well.

I also love using the USP, deagle, m4 and ak. I will go on to teach you my knowledge of these guns from my experience, and from what I have learned in my time.

 

I do lessons for Source and 1.6 And i will guarantee that i help you 100 percent.

Do not be fooled by popular names, I know i can help anyone in any aspect of the game and i dont bullshit around and feed you useless information just to waste time. You will be treated as if you were a member of my team and a friend. I know how to teach and lead people more then most, I coach girls high school hockey as well as boys high school hockey and take leadership courses in school for my program. I know how to lead and help a player become better, i have made it my personal mission to help as many Canadian players get up on better teams in the Canadian scene and have been successful with everyone. If you want a teacher who has gone through exactly what you are going through and your problems then I am your man, i may not be the best player available to do lessons, but i am the best teacher.


A little about myself:

My name is Garett Bambrough and I have been playing Counter-Strike since 1.4 came out. And had a 2 year stint with source for CGS.

I have worked my way up from 3 years in cal-m with a 30 fps computer to cal-i with that very same computer and thankfully now i don't have that computer anymore. Trying to get the the highest level while being Canadian is no easy task and was a long road but i chose to keep pursuing it with this handicap holding me down. I decided to go the path of joining US teams instead of Canadian teams and it worked out for me so far. I will be honest with you, i don't have the lists of Lan wins like most people have on here for the simple facts that there aren't many lans in Canada and when i attended lans in America i was usually with a weaker team because of the fact most top teams don't want Canadians with the exception of Shag with 3d/Noa. I dont remember all of them but heres a few

CGS World Champs Season 1 (Chicago Chimera Source)
CGS World Finals Finalists Season 2 (San Francisco Optx Source)
CEVO Pro-AM Champs (San Francisco Optx Source)
CEVO-P Champs (Pandemic 1.6)
Cal-I Champs (Devastation Source)
WSVG Finals 4th Place (Pandemic 1.6)
CPL Winter 2005 8th Place (Deadzone 1.6)
CPL Winter 2007 12-16th Place (Pandemic 1.6)
WCG Canada Finalist 2008 (EG 1.6)
CGS Combine 2007 3rd Place (EG Source)
The Bridge CGS Qualifier 2nd Place (EG Source)
Lanfest2k8 3rd Place (EG Source)
Stride Gotfrag Allstar Game Winners (East 1.6)
Cal-I Finalists Season ? (Green berets 1.6)
8 Toronto Lan Wins (Various teams 1.6)
2 Buffalo Lan Wins (ECO 1.6)
Cal-O Champs! Haha (FTS 1.6)
Cal-P Finalists 3 times... (pV, Familia, Nameless 1.6)

And some other stuff but i cant remember right now.
Not the most impressive compared to other players but considering the barriers... not bad :)
I have led most of the teams i have been on in game and consider myself a good strat caller as well as a main fragger which is important to be able to do both at the same time.

Heres a brief history of my past clans:

San Francisco Optx (CEVO-P, Championship Gaming Series Fanchise)
Chicago Chimera (CEVO-P, Championship Gaming Series Franchise)

Evil Genuises(CEVO-P source, and 1.6) - Ranked #5th in North America
Pandemic (CEVO-P Champions, CAL-I) - Highest rank was #2 in North America
Green Berets(CAL-I) - Ranked 8th in NA at the moment and as high as 6th
Deadzone(CAL-I) - Ranked 8th in North America when I was on them
ECO (CAL-I) - Ranked 8th in North America when i was on them... This number 8...
pV(CAL-I) - Led them ingame

Heat(CAL-P) - Ranked 8th in North america when i was on them again...
pV(CAL-P) - Led them ingame to the finals of CAL-P
Nameless(CAL-P) - Led them ingame to the finals of CAL-P

Lesson Plans:

The time you buy is yours and will be dedicated to whatever you feel you need to know. Questions may be asked before your lesson begins, during and after with no hesitation by me. Im here to help you in any way possible and let u have an enjoyable experience from a down to earth player that will treat u like any other person, with respect.

Individual

Ingame practices - CT setups, people call there spots and just play the game on the position they hold. To become a great player you need to put yourself into positions where you can effectively hold your spot and help teammates in the fastest, most efficient way possible. I will teach u movement theory's that will put you in the best positions and angles to kill your opponents and impress your teammates. and much more.

Gun Techniques - Theres so many ways to shoot a gun and there are different ways meant for different scenarios. How many times have u been killed while just killing a guy or during the process? I know i have many times and with knowing which gun techniques are best for when can u limit this from happening. Crosshair placement in certain areas is key and i can teach you all this to improve your game.

Proper and Effective Nade Usage - Nades in this game are so important in order to win matches cause they allow you to enter sites, regain sites, hold spots etc etc and if you know how to use ur nades effectively... you can only improve how strong you hold your spots on every map. I can teach you the most effective nades, when to use them, and more that will make you a more complete player.

Aim - Specific tricks on how to improve your long range, mid range, short range rifles as well as pistols.

Rotation - How and when to effectively rotate to help your teammates in another site. Executing rotation alone and being effective at it can improve your scores by 5 kills a half if you do it properly and i can help you with that.

Movement - Alot of people dont realize how many deaths they receive just on the fact alone that they are moving around correctly and effectively. I can show you ways to effectively move and minimize the chances of you getting killed from an unexpected visitor :]

Tricks - There are many tricks you can perform to ensure that entry kill or even to spot an enemy and exploit his position to your advantage.

Team Aspects

I have been a leader for MANY of my teams and have had alot of success, i can use this to help you become a better player and more importantly a better team.

Communication - Communication is 1 of the most important things to have on a team. But alot of people dont know how to communicate properly to efficiently help there team. I can teach the best ways to communicate to your team in order to benefit every1 ingame.
Money Management - How many times has your team said "They are probably saving" and boom you run into a gun round with setups only to lose and give your opponents more money. With this knowledge you can benefit your team so much and run strats based off the money your opponents have. And how to effectively buy to ensure proper money management on your own team as well.

Strats - Every great team has great strats, but what alot of teams lack are WHEN to use them, WHEN to perform fakes, WHEN to perform smart picks and bunches of tactics you can use to gain advantages.

Teamwork - With teamwork any average team can beat a really good team. Teamwork is what separates greatly skilled teams from beating the best. Teamwork wins matches, and i can teach u to effectively use teamwork ingame to hold spots better, gain sites and hold them.

ANYTHING YOU NEED, I can assist you
