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.
