SHOCK settings

SHOCK utilizes a sensitivity setting of 1.55 paired with a DPI of 400 on his mouse, resulting in an effective eDPI of 620. This combination is well-regarded in the professional scene for offering a balanced level of precision and control, allowing for accurate crosshair movement without sacrificing the ability to make swift turns when necessary.

SHOCK employs a classic static crosshair with a minimalistic design—featuring a very small gap of -3, short length of 1.9, and an ultra-thin thickness of 0.1 with no center dot. The crosshair is colored bright green for high visibility and uses no outline, which helps minimize distractions and keeps the focus on precise aiming during engagements.

SHOCK plays on the ZOWIE XL2546K monitor, a popular choice among esports professionals due to its high refresh rate and low input lag. This monitor is known for providing fast response times and smooth visuals, which are crucial for spotting opponents quickly and maintaining peak performance during intense matches.

SHOCK runs Counter-Strike 2 at a 1920x1080 resolution with a 16:9 aspect ratio in fullscreen mode, utilizing native scaling. He disables v-sync and NVIDIA G-Sync to reduce input lag, and sets most graphics options like shader detail, particle detail, and model texture detail to low, which helps maximize FPS and ensures a consistently smooth gameplay experience.

SHOCK's viewmodel is tailored with a field of view of 68, an offset of 2.5 on the X-axis, 0 on the Y-axis, and -1.5 on the Z-axis, using preset position 2. This configuration shifts the weapon slightly to the side and down, providing a clearer view of the center screen, which can enhance target acquisition and overall situational awareness.

Currently, SHOCK uses the HyperX Cloud II headset, which is renowned for its comfort and clear audio quality. This headset allows him to accurately pinpoint enemy locations and subtle in-game sounds, giving him a competitive edge in detecting footsteps and other important audio cues.

SHOCK uses the ZOWIE EC2 Black mouse in conjunction with the Zowie G-SR II mousepad. This pairing is favored by many professional players as it offers a reliable sensor, comfortable ergonomic design, and a large, consistent surface for smooth and controlled mouse movements, all of which contribute to consistent aim and flick shots.

Historically, SHOCK used a lower sensitivity of 1.2, resulting in an eDPI of 480. He has since increased his sensitivity to 1.55 (eDPI 620), likely reflecting a shift toward faster, more reactive gameplay. Such changes often indicate a player's adaptation to new roles, playstyles, or evolving meta within the competitive scene.

SHOCK's current keyboard is the ASUS ROG Falchion Ace 75 HE Black, a compact and responsive mechanical keyboard. Its design allows for quick actuation and efficient use of desk space, which is especially beneficial during fast-paced matches that demand precise and rapid key inputs for movement and actions.

SHOCK's system is powered by an Intel Core i9-11900K processor and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 graphics card. This high-end combination ensures that he experiences minimal frame drops and consistently high FPS, which are vital in CS2 for maintaining smooth gameplay and quick reaction times under all conditions.
