ZEDKO settings

ZEDKO utilizes the VAXEE ZYGEN NP-01S V2 Wireless Deep Blue mouse set to 800 DPI and a sensitivity of 0.49, resulting in an effective eDPI of 392. This combination allows for precise control and smooth tracking, which is essential for consistent aim and micro-adjustments during competitive play. The 1000 Hz polling rate further ensures minimal input lag, providing ZEDKO with responsive and accurate mouse movements.

ZEDKO's crosshair uses the 'Classic Static' style with a compact shape—gap of -1, length of 5, and thickness of 2—without a center dot or outline. The crosshair is colored green with full opacity, which stands out against most in-game backgrounds, aiding target acquisition. This minimalistic and static configuration ensures that the crosshair remains unobtrusive, allowing for clear visibility and precise aiming during high-pressure situations.

ZEDKO plays at a 1152x864 resolution with a 4:3 aspect ratio in fullscreen mode and uses stretched scaling. Most graphics settings, such as shader and model texture detail, are set to low, while global shadow quality is set to medium and anti-aliasing is at 2x MSAA. V-Sync and player contrast boosting are disabled. These choices prioritize high frame rates and minimal input delay, which are crucial for competitive play, while the stretched resolution can make enemy models appear larger and easier to spot.

ZEDKO uses the ZOWIE XL2546K, a 24.5-inch monitor renowned for its high 240 Hz refresh rate and rapid response time. This monitor is a popular choice among esports professionals because it delivers ultra-smooth motion clarity, reducing ghosting and input lag. Such features are vital for fast-paced games like Counter-Strike 2, where split-second reactions can determine the outcome of a duel.

ZEDKO sets his viewmodel field of view to 68 and customizes the offsets to 2.5 on the X-axis, 0 on the Y-axis, and -1.5 on the Z-axis, with the preset position at 2. This configuration moves the weapon model slightly out of the center view, maximizing peripheral vision and reducing visual distractions. Disabling viewmodel bob further stabilizes the weapon display, allowing for a consistent sight picture during engagements.

ZEDKO currently uses the Razer Huntsman V3 Pro TKL White keyboard, which features a tenkeyless design for more desk space and easier mouse movement. While specific keybinds are not listed, professional players often customize their controls to suit personal comfort and quick access to essential actions. The high responsiveness and tactile feedback of this keyboard support rapid input and reliable execution of complex maneuvers in-game.

ZEDKO opts for the Razer BlackShark V2 Pro White headset, a model known for its clear positional audio and comfortable fit. Superior sound quality and precise directional cues are crucial in Counter-Strike 2, as they help players detect enemy movement, utility usage, and other subtle audio cues. This headset choice enables ZEDKO to maintain peak situational awareness and react swiftly to auditory information.

ZEDKO configures his radar with a HUD size of 0.995 and a map zoom of 0.25, ensuring that the radar remains large and detailed without cluttering the screen. He enables radar rotation and centers the player on the radar, which helps maintain orientation and quickly assess teammate and enemy positions. The ability to toggle the radar shape with the scoreboard adds flexibility, allowing ZEDKO to adapt his radar view as needed during matches.

ZEDKO sets his HUD color to purple and scales it to 0.95, which strikes a balance between visibility and screen real estate. A distinct HUD color helps important information stand out during gameplay, while a slightly reduced scale ensures that the HUD remains unobtrusive, allowing for a clearer view of the action without sacrificing access to vital data.

ZEDKO's PC is powered by an Intel Core i9-11900K processor and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 graphics card. This high-end combination delivers exceptional processing power and graphics performance, enabling consistently high frame rates and smooth gameplay at demanding settings. Such hardware ensures that ZEDKO experiences minimal system-induced delays, allowing him to focus entirely on in-game performance and decision-making.
