How a Turkish Operator Builds FPS Training Content — Methodology and Limitations
By Mustafa Bilgic, FPSTrain — Adıyaman Türkiye · 2026-05-08 · ~1,500 words
Why this page exists: Readers reasonably ask how a non-pro, Türkiye-based operator builds aim training content. This is the honest answer.
The honest backstory
I am Mustafa Bilgic. I run FPSTrain from Adıyaman, Türkiye, as one of about a dozen specialist sites I operate. I am not a professional esports player. I have never been on a paid CS, Valorant, or Apex roster. I do not have a coaching certificate or a formal sport-psychology credential. What I have is enthusiasm for FPS games since the late 2000s, the discipline to read peer-reviewed motor-learning literature carefully, and a research-compilation site approach that cites Fitts (1954), Schmidt (1975), Ericsson (1993), and contemporary esports research with proper academic attribution.
What FPSTrain is
FPSTrain is a research-compilation site for aim training. The pages fall into:
- Research summary: Peer-reviewed citations on motor learning, Fitts' Law, deliberate practice, applied to FPS context.
- Routine database: KovaaK's and Aim Lab routines categorized by skill area (flick, tracking, target switching, micro-adjust).
- Pro setting compilations: Pro player sensitivity, DPI, and routine data sourced from ProSettings.net and pro player gear posts.
- Hardware-side educational content: Cross-references to FPSAim's hardware spec compilations.
What FPSTrain is not: a coaching service, a personal-best leaderboard, or a replacement for actual practice with feedback.
Source priority — what we use
Tier 1:
- Peer-reviewed academic literature (Frontiers in Psychology, Cortex, Journal of Sports Sciences, J. Motor Behavior)
- Aim Lab and KovaaK's published research
- ProSettings.net and Liquipedia for pro player data
- Public esports tournament data (HLTV.org, Liquipedia events)
Tier 2:
- Reputable YouTube reviewers (Voltaic, ApexCheats Aim Lab community, BadSeed Tech)
- Pro player public statements about training methodology (Twitter, podcasts, interviews)
- Game developer official channels (Valve, Riot, Respawn statements about game mechanics)
Tier 3 (background):
- Reddit r/aimtraining, r/CS2, r/Valorant for community sentiment
- Discord aim training community discussions
What we don't do
- We do not provide personalized coaching. If you want personalized coaching, hire an actual coach (Voltaic, Aim Lab Coaching, or pro players who offer coaching).
- We do not run leaderboards. Leaderboards exist on KovaaK's, Aim Lab, Voltaic. We don't compete with their data.
- We do not test peripherals personally. We cite Rtings or other lab data.
- We do not promote esports betting.
- We do not auto-publish AI content. Some pages drafted with AI assistance, every published page reviewed against source data.
- We do not claim research credentials we don't have. Academic citations are from the published literature; the compilation work is an aggregation, not original research.
How errors are handled
Real corrections from 2025-2026:
- 2025-05: Misattributed a Frontiers in Psychology citation to wrong year. Corrected; added DOI to all academic citations.
- 2025-08: Pro player ALGS data was outdated (used 2024 figures for 2025 page). Updated; quarterly review process.
- 2026-01: A KovaaK routine recommendation linked to a routine that was renamed. Updated link; added "verify in-game" disclaimer.
- 2026-04: A Fitts' Law equation had a typo in the index variable. Corrected; thank reader who emailed.
Why a Turkish operator runs an aim training research site
Honest answer: independent operator economics + topical interest. I have followed FPS gaming since CS 1.6 era. I do not stream and do not play professionally. But I find aim training research genuinely interesting because it sits at the intersection of motor learning psychology, esports, and consumer hardware. A research-compilation site that does the bibliographic legwork is a real value for people who want to take aim training seriously without reading 30 academic papers themselves.
The Voltaic + Aim Lab + KovaaK relationship
I am not affiliated with Voltaic, Aim Lab, KovaaK's, or any aim trainer brand. The routines and benchmarks discussed on this site are sourced from public listings on those platforms. Where I make cross-platform recommendations (e.g., "this Aim Lab task is comparable to this KovaaK routine"), the equivalence is editorial judgment, not endorsed by the platform owners.
What you can expect
- Peer-reviewed research summaries with proper academic citation
- Routine recommendations sourced from public KovaaK's / Aim Lab listings
- Pro player data sourced from ProSettings.net and Liquipedia
- Hardware cross-references to FPSAim sister site
- Annual content review and update
- Honest sponsorship disclosure
What you should not expect
- Personalized coaching ("I'll review your aim trainer scores")
- Real-time leaderboards or competitive benchmarking infrastructure
- Original peer-reviewed research (we cite it, we don't publish it)
- Pro player gameplay analysis ("here's why s1mple flicks faster than ZywOo")
- Replacement for actual feedback-driven practice
Sister sites and operator network
I run sites including FPSAim (FPS hardware reference), FXKRW (Korean FX), Payroll Calculator (US tax), Settlement Calculator (US personal injury reference), Moving Calculator (US relocation), Names Center (domain investing), UK Calculator (UK tax/finance), RechnerKalkulator (German finance), Library Hours 24, AIPostMockup, Event.com.de, Kahramanmarasemlak, CoveredCallCalculator, Nexorev. All under my name (Mustafa Bilgic) as sole proprietor based in Adıyaman, Türkiye.
Direct, honest answer
If you ask whether to trust this site: trust the academic citations (verify them in published literature), trust the public ProSettings/Liquipedia data, but do not treat my routine recommendations as expert coaching. I am a research compiler, not a coach. For real coaching, look at Voltaic, Aim Lab Coaching, or pros who offer paid coaching sessions.
