tAk settings

As of July 2024, tAk is competing under the banner of G2 Ares. His transfer to this team marks the latest chapter in his career, following previous stints with organizations such as Sprout Academy and AGO esports.

tAk utilizes a classic static crosshair with a minimal gap and length, no center dot, and a bright green color, which ensures high visibility against most backgrounds. This setup, paired with the absence of outlines, provides him with a clear and unobtrusive aiming point, facilitating precise shots during high-pressure situations.

tAk is currently playing with a Razer Deathadder V3 Pro White mouse set at 400 DPI and a sensitivity of 2, resulting in an effective DPI (eDPI) of 800. This moderate sensitivity strikes a balance between swift movements and precise control, which is ideal for both quick flicks and accurate tracking in Counter-Strike 2.

For his keyboard, tAk opts for the Razer Huntsman V3 Pro Mini Black, a compact and responsive choice favored by many professional players for its quick actuation. He pairs this with the Razer Gigantus V2 mousepad, known for its expansive surface and smooth glide, supporting both rapid and controlled mouse movements.

tAk plays on a 1280x960 resolution with a 4:3 aspect ratio in fullscreen mode and uses stretched scaling. He prioritizes performance and clarity by disabling v-sync, setting shader and particle details to low, and keeping boost player contrast disabled. His configuration, including 8x MSAA anti-aliasing, is tailored to maximize frame rates while maintaining visual sharpness necessary for competitive play.

tAk's career has seen several transitions, starting from LastWind, moving through SD Invicta, AGO esports, Sprout Academy, and ultimately joining G2 Ares. These changes reflect a trajectory of growth and adaptation, with each move offering new challenges and opportunities within the competitive Counter-Strike scene.

tAk uses the ZOWIE XL2566K monitor, which is renowned for its high refresh rate and low input lag. This choice is essential for competitive Counter-Strike 2, as it enables smoother motion and faster reaction times, giving tAk a vital edge during fast-paced matches.

tAk employs launch options such as '-freq 240 -novid -console -tickrate 128,' which set his monitor to 240Hz for ultra-smooth gameplay, skip the introductory video for faster game startup, enable the developer console, and ensure server tickrate consistency—each contributing to a more efficient and responsive gaming environment.

tAk's viewmodel is customized with a field of view set to 68, and specific offsets (x: 2.5, y: 0, z: -1.5), positioning his weapon slightly to the right and lower on the screen. This arrangement minimizes weapon obstruction, providing a clearer view of the action and enhancing his ability to spot opponents quickly.

tAk relies on the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro Black headset, which is favored in the esports community for its superior sound clarity and noise isolation. This allows him to accurately detect subtle in-game audio cues, such as footsteps and reloads, which are crucial for making informed decisions and reacting swiftly during matches.
