FAQ

We collect data from pro player demos, tournament VODs, interviews, and official configs. Every setting is stored in our database and analyzed individually. The most frequently used option across top players becomes the recommended pick.

Our database is continuously updated as new demos and configs become available, so the recommendations always reflect current pro trends.

These settings are a strong starting point based on what most pros use. However, some options like resolution or mouse sensitivity come down to personal preference. Use them as a baseline and adjust to what feels comfortable.

The 4:3 stretched resolution makes player models appear wider, which can make targets easier to hit. It also tends to deliver higher FPS since fewer pixels are rendered compared to 16:9.

Lower visual settings reduce clutter and improve FPS stability. Pros prioritize performance and visibility over graphics quality. Fewer visual distractions means easier target identification.

Yes. Features like DyAc, Black Equalizer, and Color Vibrance can improve visibility in dark areas and make enemies stand out more. The recommended monitor settings are based on the most common configurations among pros.
