#5 in HLTV Top 20 Players of 2011 (SK Gaming). f0rest played CS 1.6 in 2011, so these are their CS:GO settings from 2012-12-13, the closest to 2011 we found that can be converted, with the sensitivity from 2012 and the resolution from 2016-12-13. Source confidence: medium.
Crosshair new system
Full config 2 parts
Download .cfgThe CS2 console can reject a pasted line longer than 510 characters, so the full config comes in parts: press ~ in CS2, paste part 1, press Enter, then do the same with the next part. Or download the .cfg, save it in Counter-Strike Global Offensive/game/csgo/cfg/ and run exec f0rest-2011 in the console.

Convars CS2 renamed are renamed, values outside CS2's range are set to the nearest one it accepts, and convars CS2 doesn't have or that are cheat-protected are left out (see Adapted for CS2 below).
Mouse & Sensitivity sensitivity
sensitivity 3.28; zoom_sensitivity_ratio 1; m_pitch 0.022; m_yaw 0.022
Their DPI isn't documented with this sensitivity. The matcher below assumes 400 DPI, from their setup.gg profile (2016-12-13, where they used sensitivity 3.5); change it if you know better.

Where these settings come from
- Crosshair · 2012-12-13 · confidence medium · github.com 1, 2
How the date is known
Preset 'NiP f0rest' in the first commit (13 Dec 2012) of Skarbo's CS:GO crosshair generator, a third-party tool; later commits never change its values. His own 2012 config (used for the sensitivity) has the same size, thickness, gap and colour, but no style setting.
- Sensitivity · 2012 · confidence medium · github.com 1, 2
How the date is known
Game-written config.cfg filed under f0rest in setup.gg's archive (in-game name 'NiP-iZnoGouD-'; its crosshair is the 'NiP f0rest' one). It has cl_crosshairgap, added 22 Aug 2012, but not cl_crosshairstyle, which the game had by 13 Dec 2012, so it was saved between those dates.
- Resolution · 2016-12-13 · confidence low · github.com, liquipedia.net 1, 2
How the date is known
setup.gg's player profile (1600x900, 16:9), created in setupgg/data's first commit on 13 Dec 2016 and never changed. It gives no date or source, so this is only when it was published. No source from before 2015 gives his resolution, and later ones disagree: Liquipedia first listed one on 10 Jul 2015 (revision 169989), 1600x900, then 1024x768 with black bars from 11 Oct 2015 (revision 224614), 1600x900 again by 23 Nov 2015 (revision 249916), 1280x960 on 20 Feb 2016 (revision 304995) and 1024x768 with black bars from 17 Apr 2016 (revision 343725) to 2019; the CS:GO Player Setups sheet (row updated 15 May 2016) lists 1280x960 4:3.
- DPI (assumed) · 2016-12-13 · github.com
Why it is assumed
No source lists a DPI with this sensitivity, so the DPI matcher assumes the 400 DPI of their setup.gg profile, which lists sensitivity 3.5; change it on the page if you know better.

No source lists a DPI with this sensitivity, so the DPI matcher's DPI is assumed (see above). The other parts can come from configs of different dates, as listed.
