#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
Full config 3 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 neo-2011 in the console.

Where these settings come from
- Crosshair, viewmodel, HUD and radar · 2014-04 · confidence low · github.com 1, 2, 3
How the date is known
A full config.cfg in the game's own format, from setup.gg's archive (uploaded 29 Apr 2016); the identical file, crosshair included, was already in the CSGO-Optimiser repository on 12 Jun 2014. It has the scoreboard-mouse setting added 23 Apr 2014 but none of the cl_hud_* settings added 1 May 2014, so it was saved in late April 2014. It lacks cl_inventory_saved_filter and cl_inventory_saved_sort, although the same 23 Apr 2014 update began saving the inventory sort and filter, and every other config in setup.gg's archive saved after that update has them, so the file may have been edited by hand before June 2014. cl_crosshairstyle 5 is in this file although Valve added style 5 only on 16 Jul 2014. Six configs in setup.gg's archive dated before July 2014 have it (GMX, NEO, TaZ, moE, pasha and schneider), as does a pasha config in CSGO-Optimiser saved between May 2013 and January 2014, so players set it before Valve added it. What the game drew for it then is unknown.

How the date is known
Same config.cfg as the crosshair. It has the scoreboard-mouse setting added 23 Apr 2014 but none of the cl_hud_* settings added 1 May 2014, so it was saved in late April 2014.

How the date is known
The video.txt in CSGO-Optimiser's NEO profile lists 1024x768 at 4:3. That profile's config.cfg and autoexec.cfg are the same files that setup.gg later published for NEO, the crosshair's source. It was added to that repository on 12 Jun 2014, the latest date it can be from. setup.gg's profile for NEO (data.yml, published 13 Dec 2016) lists 800x600 instead; Liquipedia listed 1024x768 with black bars from March to July 2016 and 800x600 from February 2017.
- 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 1.95; 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.
