French phenom Mathieu ‘ZywOo’ Herbaut is now an established pro and one of the best AWPers in the world. If you’re inspired by the Vitality pro, you might want to get started with his CS2 settings, from his resolution and viewmodel to his DPI and sensitivity.

Although you should always experiment and try to figure out the optimal settings for you, pro player settings can provide a great starting point, by adapting what the best in the CS2 players in the world use.

That being said, using a pro’s settings isn’t an instant fix, as they’ve likely fine-tuned it to their specific preferences and setup. Check out Zyw0o’s settings below, and try out what you’d like, before adapting it to your preferences.

ZywOo’s monitor and resolution

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

Like a lot of pros, ZywOo goes into CS2 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.

Aspect Ratio 4:3
Scaling Stretched
Refresh Rate 240hz
Display mode Fullscreen
Brightness 110%

FXAA Unknown
Texture Filtering Mode Anisotopic 4x

  • viewmodel_fov 68; viewmodel_offset_x 2.5; viewmodel_offset_y 0; viewmodel_offset_z -1.5; viewmodel_presetpos 3;
