HooXi settings

HooXi is currently a member of Astralis, having joined the team on June 18, 2025. This recent transfer marks a new chapter in his professional CS2 career, following his tenure as a free agent after leaving G2 Esports at the end of 2024.

Over the years, HooXi's career has seen him play for several notable organizations. Starting with teams like Clan eSpuma and Ambush Esport, he progressed through squads such as TOXIC, Team Demise, AGF Esport, x6tence, MAD Lions, Copenhagen Flames, and G2 Esports. His journey has featured multiple transfers and periods of inactivity, demonstrating both resilience and adaptability, culminating in his most recent move to Astralis in 2025.

HooXi currently uses a mouse setup with 800 DPI and a sensitivity of 0.9, resulting in an eDPI of 720. He pairs this with a polling rate of 2000 Hz, which ensures extremely responsive input, allowing for precise and rapid movements—an essential aspect for maintaining high performance in fast-paced matches.

HooXi utilizes a classic static crosshair with a minimalistic design, featuring a small gap and no center dot. The crosshair is colored bright green for high visibility against most backgrounds, and it avoids outlines or unnecessary distractions. This setup allows him to maintain clear vision of opponents and facilitates precise aim during clutch situations.

HooXi plays at a 1280x768 resolution with a 16:10 aspect ratio, using fullscreen mode and stretched scaling. He opts for low shader and model texture details, disables v-sync, and enables 4x MSAA anti-aliasing. This configuration is designed to prioritize high frame rates and visibility, reducing visual clutter while maintaining smooth gameplay.

For maximum situational awareness, HooXi uses a yellow HUD color and scales it to 0.89946 for a balanced display. His radar is set with a HUD size of 1.165 and a map zoom of 0.35, rotates during play, but does not center on the player. He also enables toggling the radar shape with the scoreboard, giving him flexibility and quick access to vital map information.

HooXi's launch options include parameters such as -novid, -no-browser, -nojoy, -tickrate 128, -high, and -allow_third_party_software. These settings help him skip startup videos, disable unnecessary features, ensure high server tick rates, prioritize game process performance, and allow the use of third-party software, all contributing to a streamlined and efficient gaming experience.

HooXi configures his monitor with Premium DyAc for motion clarity, a color vibrance of 20 for vivid visuals, and both low blue light and black equalizer set to 0. This setup enhances his ability to spot enemies and track movement, especially in fast-paced scenarios, while providing a crisp and clear image without excessive color distortion.

HooXi's viewmodel settings include a 68 FOV, offset values of 2.5 (x), 2 (y), and -2 (z), with bobbing disabled and preset position 4. These choices ensure his weapon model remains unobtrusive, maximizing his field of view and minimizing distractions, which is critical for spotting opponents and reacting quickly in high-stakes situations.

HooXi opts for a bright green crosshair because it offers excellent contrast against most in-game environments, making it easier to track and aim at opponents. This color choice helps maintain focus during intense firefights and reduces the risk of losing sight of the crosshair amidst the game's dynamic visuals.
