Avid settings

Avid plays with a Razer Viper V3 Pro Faker Edition mouse set to 800 DPI and a sensitivity of 1.1, resulting in an effective eDPI of 880. This combination provides a balanced level of precision and control, allowing for accurate aiming while still facilitating swift turns and flicks, a setup favored by many professional players for its reliability in competitive play.

Avid utilizes a Classic Static crosshair style with a very minimal gap of -4, a short length of 0.8, and zero thickness, all in a green color. The crosshair lacks a center dot and outline, prioritizing clear visibility without obstruction. This minimalistic setup helps maintain focus on targets by avoiding unnecessary distractions, which is critical during high-pressure duels.

Avid relies on the ZOWIE XL2566K monitor, a popular choice among esports professionals due to its high refresh rate and low input lag. This monitor is designed to deliver smooth motion clarity and rapid response times, which are essential for tracking fast-moving targets and reacting instantly during intense moments in Counter-Strike 2 matches.

Avid uses the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro Black headset, known for its high-fidelity sound and excellent positional audio. This headset allows him to accurately discern enemy movements, footsteps, and other vital in-game cues, providing a competitive edge by enhancing situational awareness and reaction time during gameplay.

Avid sets his in-game HUD color to 'Team Color' and scales it to 0.85. This configuration helps him quickly distinguish teammates from opponents and ensures that the HUD elements do not clutter the screen, maintaining a clear field of vision and allowing for better focus on the action.

Avid's viewmodel is set to a field of view (FOV) of 68, with the weapon model positioned at offset_x 2.5, offset_y 0, and offset_z -2, using the default preset position. These settings minimize weapon model obstruction while maximizing screen space for spotting opponents, striking a balance between visibility and personal comfort.

Avid includes the launch options '-novid -tickrate 128' when starting Counter-Strike 2. The '-novid' command skips the intro video for faster game startup, while '-tickrate 128' ensures that offline servers and custom games run at the higher competitive tickrate, which is crucial for practicing in conditions similar to official matches.

Avid uses a mouse polling rate of 1000 Hz, which means his mouse reports its position to the computer 1000 times per second. This high polling rate minimizes input lag, resulting in more immediate and accurate tracking of rapid hand movements, which is vital for precise aiming and fast reflexes in competitive play.

Avid plays on a Razer Huntsman V3 Pro TKL Black keyboard and a Razer Gigantus V2 mousepad. The TKL (tenkeyless) keyboard allows for more desk space and unrestricted mouse movement, while the Gigantus V2 provides a large, smooth surface for consistent and controlled mouse glides, supporting both comfort and high-level accuracy.

Avid’s crosshair is customized with a green color and no outline, ensuring it stands out against most map backgrounds. The lack of a center dot and the minimal gap and thickness keep the crosshair unobtrusive, allowing him to maintain focus on enemy models and critical gameplay elements without distraction, which is essential for high-level competitive play.
