iM settings

iM plays with a sensitivity of 2.3 and a DPI of 400, resulting in an effective eDPI of 920. This combination offers a balanced approach, allowing for precise crosshair control while maintaining swift movement, which is ideal for tracking opponents and adjusting aim quickly during high-pressure situations.

iM uses a Classic Static crosshair style with a minimal gap of -2, a length of 2, and zero thickness, opting for a cyan color with high alpha for visibility. He disables the center dot and outlines, which keeps the crosshair clean and unobtrusive, helping him maintain focus on targets without distractions in both close and long-range engagements.

iM plays on a ZOWIE XL2546K monitor, which is renowned for its fast refresh rate and esports-focused features. He utilizes the 'Premium' DyAc setting for motion clarity, sets color vibrance to 10, black equalizer to 9, and keeps low blue light at 0. These settings enhance enemy visibility and reduce motion blur, providing a clear competitive edge in fast-paced matches.

iM chooses a 1280x960 resolution with a 4:3 aspect ratio in stretched mode, played in fullscreen. He sets most graphical details like shader and particle detail to low, disables ambient occlusion, and uses 'Very High' global shadow quality and anisotropic 4x texture filtering. This configuration maximizes frame rates and clarity, ensuring smooth performance and easy spotting of opponents.

iM uses the Logitech G Pro X TKL RAPID Black keyboard and the Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 White mouse. The Superlight 2 is favored for its lightweight design, high polling rate (2000 Hz), and precision, while the TKL keyboard provides ample desk space for mouse movement, supporting fast and accurate inputs required at the top level of play.

iM's radar settings include a HUD size of 0.86295 and a map zoom of 0.4, with the radar rotating and centered on the player. He has the radar toggle shape with the scoreboard enabled, and his HUD color is set to blue with a scale of 0.878. These settings provide a clear and easily readable interface, ensuring he never misses crucial information during gameplay.

iM uses the Logitech G PRO X 2 Headset White for primary audio and Sennheiser CX 300S earphones, ensuring high-fidelity sound reproduction and comfort during long sessions. This setup is critical for accurately pinpointing enemy footsteps and environmental cues, which are essential for making informed decisions in competitive scenarios.

iM alternates between the ZOWIE G-TR, ZOWIE G-SR III, and Artisan Ninja FX Zero XSoft Black mousepads. Each provides a different balance of speed and control, allowing him to adjust his setup based on personal preference or event conditions, ensuring consistent and reliable mouse movement for precise aiming.

iM's setup features an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D processor and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Super graphics card. This high-end combination guarantees top-tier frame rates and minimal input lag, even at demanding settings, which is crucial for maintaining smooth gameplay and quick reaction times in professional matches.

iM launches the game with several command-line options: '-novid' to skip intro videos, '-tickrate 128' for high server tickrate, '-refresh 240' and '-freq 240' to match his monitor's refresh rate, and '+cl_cmdrate 128 +cl_updaterate 128' to ensure optimal server communication. He also includes '-allow_third_party_software' for compatibility, all of which contribute to a seamless and responsive gaming environment.
