September 2022 · 3 minute read

The French phenom Mathieu ‘ZywOo’ Herbaut has been lighting up the competitive CSGO landscape for years. Take a peek at how the Vitality pro plays Counter-Strike with everything from his resolution to viewmodel as well as his DPI and sensitivity.

Though CS players spend hours finding the right settings that will accommodate their playstyles, it can be tricky to find the right configurations to suit their needs. Using pro settings can provide a great baseline to see what the best in the CSGO players in the world want out of their inputs.

That being said, using a pro’s settings can be tricky since they’ve fine-tuned it to their specific preferences and setup. Depending on how you like to play, don’t be shy to retool some configurations to suit your needs.

ZywOo’s Crosshair

ZywOo prefers a smaller crosshair with the standard no-spread option. As for colors, he can work with either blue, green, or yellow hues.

ZywOo elects to use a smaller crosshair for his CSGO configurations.

The easiest way to copy ZywOo’s exact crosshair is to copy these settings into the console. Take a look at how to open the CS:GO console.

ZywOo’s monitor and resolution

ZywOo uses a BENQ XL2546K monitor, which gives him 240hz for a steady stream of frames.

Like a lot of pros, ZywOo goes into CSGO matches with a stretched res. It gives targets a slightly larger presence onscreen at the cost of surrounding visibility. But top-tier players prefer it this way to give themselves a better view to land shots on their targets.
