ICY settings

ICY utilizes the Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 Black mouse set at 400 DPI and a sensitivity of 2, resulting in an effective eDPI of 800. This configuration offers a balanced mix of precision and swift movement, which is favored by many professional players for precise crosshair control and consistent tracking during high-level play.

ICY’s crosshair is set to a classic static style with a cyan color, featuring a negative gap, no length or thickness, and a visible center dot. The crosshair also includes an outline for better visibility and adopts a T-style with recoil following enabled. This minimalistic and highly visible setup ensures the crosshair remains unobtrusive while providing a clear focal point for accurate shooting, especially during fast-paced encounters.

ICY plays on the ZOWIE XL2546K, a monitor renowned for its high refresh rate and responsive performance. He configures the monitor with DyAc set to 'High' for motion clarity, color vibrance at 12 for enhanced color differentiation, black equalizer at 10 for improved visibility in dark areas, and low blue light at 0 to maintain color accuracy. These settings collectively optimize visual clarity and reduce eye strain during prolonged gaming sessions.

ICY chooses a 1280x960 resolution with a 4:3 aspect ratio set to stretched mode. This configuration is popular among professionals because it enlarges player models horizontally, making opponents easier to spot and track, while maintaining a high frame rate for smooth gameplay. The stretched aspect also helps with rapid target acquisition, a crucial advantage in competitive scenarios.

For his keyboard setup, ICY relies on both the Logitech G715 and the Wooting 80HE Ghost, both of which are highly regarded for their fast actuation and customizable key response. These mechanical keyboards provide tactile feedback and low input latency, allowing ICY to execute precise movements and complex commands efficiently during high-pressure matches.

ICY uses the HyperX Cloud III Wireless headset as his primary audio device, complemented by HyperX Cloud II and HyperX Cloud Earbuds II Red for versatility. These headsets are known for their clear positional audio and comfort, enabling ICY to accurately detect enemy footsteps and environmental cues, which are critical for maintaining situational awareness and reacting swiftly to threats.

ICY alternates between the SteelSeries QcK Heavy and the Artisan Ninja FX Zero Soft Black mousepads. Both are large, high-quality surfaces that offer consistent glide and precise tracking. The QcK Heavy is known for its thick, stable base, while the Artisan provides a softer, more controlled glide, allowing ICY to adapt his mouse movement for either fast flicks or steady tracking depending on the competitive situation.

ICY’s sensitivity settings have ranged from 3 to 1.8 in the past, with his current preference set at 2. This evolution suggests a transition toward a more balanced approach, likely aimed at improving accuracy without sacrificing movement speed. Such adjustments are common among professionals seeking to refine their aim and adapt to different team roles or meta changes.

ICY plays with the display mode set to fullscreen and scaling mode on stretched, which minimizes input lag and maximizes frame rates. Although further details are unspecified, this setup is preferred by competitive players as it ensures the smoothest possible gameplay experience, reduces distractions, and leverages the stretched aspect for easier opponent targeting.

ICY configures his viewmodel with a field of view of 68, an offset X of 2.5, offset Y of 0, and offset Z of -1.5, using preset position 1 and disabling weapon bob. This setup positions the weapon model lower and further to the side, maximizing the player's view of the screen and minimizing visual obstructions, which helps in spotting enemies and reacting quickly during engagements.
