#7 in HLTV Top 20 Players of 2011 (fnatic). Friis played CS 1.6 in 2011, so these are their CS:GO settings from 2015-06-13, the closest to 2011 we found that can be converted, with the sensitivity and resolution from 2016. Source confidence: low.

Not in this config because the setting didn't exist yet, so off: cl_crosshair_t, cl_crosshair_recoil.
Not in this config, so off, as CS:GO had it by default: cl_crosshairgap_useweaponvalue.
Odd-width bars sit on a different centre pixel in the new game, so the crosshair may appear 1 px off.

Friis played CS 1.6 in 2011, so these are their CS:GO settings from 2015-06-13, the closest to 2011 we found that can be converted (see where these settings come from). Converted to CS2's crosshair system since the Sept 22, 2026 update, authored at 768p, Friis's resolution; CS2 rescales it to your resolution.

Valve published no conversion formula. This uses a community reconstruction (small-indie-crosshair-company v0.19.1, model community-static-v11, CS2 build 2000922); for Static Cross at 1080p and 960p it agrees with the rule crosshairrestore.com measured from in-game screenshots (CS2 builds before Sept 30), and nothing else has been checked against captures.

The paste sets every setting that shapes this crosshair, including the iron-sight dot (CS2's defaults where their config has no value), so nothing from your current crosshair carries over.

Full config 2 parts

Download .cfg

The 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 friis-2011 in the console.

Crosshair · 2015-06-13 · confidence low · liquipedia.net 1, 2
How the date is known
Liquipedia's Friis page has had this Crosshair table since revision 154829 of 13 Jun 2015, when he played for SK Gaming, and it is unchanged in revision 575934 of 9 Feb 2017. The table cites no source, so the date is when it was added to the page, not when he set it. The same revision lists sensitivity 2.5 at 400 DPI and 500 Hz, raw input on and 1024x768 with black bars, as setup.gg's record does. Its outline thickness 0 is read as the outline off, and cl_crosshairusealpha 1 is assumed for its alpha 200, as the table gives no usealpha.

setup.gg's record for him, first published in the archive's initial import on 13 Dec 2016, so the settings date from then at the latest. The import listed him on SK Gaming, where he played from May 2015 to June 2016, so they most likely date from that time.

DPI is only taken from a source that lists the same sensitivity, so the eDPI matches the sensitivity shown. The other parts can come from configs of different dates, as listed.
