#1 in HLTV Top 20 Players of 2011 (ESC Gaming). NEO played CS 1.6 in 2011, so these are their CS:GO settings from 2014-04, the closest to 2011 we found that can be converted, with the resolution from 2014-06-12. Source confidence: low.

Crosshair new system

768p pixels, enlarged
cl_crosshairstyle 5; cl_crosshair_length 6; cl_crosshair_thickness 1; cl_crosshair_gap 3; cl_crosshairdot 0; cl_crosshair_t 0; cl_crosshair_drawoutline 0; cl_crosshair_recoil 0; cl_crosshaircolor_r 50; cl_crosshaircolor_g 250; cl_crosshaircolor_b 50; cl_crosshaircolor_a 250; cl_ironsight_usecrosshaircolor 0; cl_ironsight_dot_scale 1; cl_crosshair_screen_height 768
  • Not in this config because the setting didn't exist yet, so off: cl_crosshairgap_useweaponvalue, cl_crosshair_t, cl_crosshair_recoil.
  • Old style 5 (Legacy) placed its bars at round(4 × height / 1200 + gap) at rest instead of Static Cross's trunc(4 + gap); at 768 that is 2 instead of 3 pixels, a reading of the old source that is unverified in the pre-update game.
  • Odd-width bars sit on a different centre pixel in the new game, so the crosshair may appear 1 px off.
  • Old thickness 0 still drew a thin line, so the export uses a positive thickness.
  • Exported as style 5, Dynamic Cross (Legacy/Shot Feedback), which like the old style 5 rests at this gap and widens when you fire; how far it widens is not checked in game.

NEO played CS 1.6 in 2011, so these are their CS:GO settings from 2014-04, 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, NEO'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 3 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 neo-2011 in the console.

Part 3 · HUD & other
hud_scaling 0.9; hud_showtargetid 1; cl_teammate_colors_show 1; safezonex 1; safezoney 1; cl_prefer_lefthanded 0

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 1.87; zoom_sensitivity_ratio 0.8; 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 1.95); change it if you know better.

Viewmodel viewmodel_*

viewmodel_fov 68; viewmodel_offset_x 2.5; viewmodel_offset_y 0; viewmodel_offset_z -1.5; viewmodel_presetpos 3

Radar cl_radar_*

cl_radar_always_centered 1; cl_radar_icon_scale_min 0.6; cl_radar_rotate 1; cl_radar_scale 0.4

HUD hud_*

hud_scaling 0.9; hud_showtargetid 1; cl_teammate_colors_show 1; safezonex 1; safezoney 1

Performance & Other misc

cl_prefer_lefthanded 0

Misc convars (fps caps, gamma, gameplay toggles) captured from this player's config.

Adapted for CS2 11

Show what changed
  • cl_righthand 1 is cl_prefer_lefthanded 0 in CS2 (the value is inverted)
  • hud_scaling 0.78 is outside CS2's range, set to 0.9
  • zoom_sensitivity_ratio_mouse is called zoom_sensitivity_ratio in CS2
  • m_rawinput doesn't exist in CS2, left out
  • m_customaccel doesn't exist in CS2, left out
  • m_customaccel_exponent doesn't exist in CS2, left out
  • m_customaccel_max doesn't exist in CS2, left out
  • m_customaccel_scale doesn't exist in CS2, left out
  • m_mouseaccel1 doesn't exist in CS2, left out
  • m_mouseaccel2 doesn't exist in CS2, left out
  • m_mousespeed doesn't exist in CS2, left out

CS2 doesn't allow these via console commands — set them in Settings → Video. For stretched scaling also configure your GPU driver panel.

Where these settings come from

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.
