#6 in HLTV Top 20 Players of 2011 (ESC Gaming). TaZ played CS 1.6 in 2011, so these are their CS:GO settings from 2014, the closest to 2011 we found that can be converted, with the resolution from 2015-11-01. 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 taz-2011 in the console.

Where these settings come from
- Crosshair, viewmodel, HUD and radar · 2014 · confidence low · github.com 1, 2
How the date is known
A full config.cfg in the game's own format, from setup.gg's archive (uploaded 29 Apr 2016). It has the cl_hud_* settings added 1 May 2014 but not the reminder setting for Operation Breakout, which launched 1 Jul 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 cl_hud_* settings added 1 May 2014 but not the reminder setting for Operation Breakout, which launched 1 Jul 2014, so it was saved in May or June 2014.
- Resolution · 2015-11-01 · confidence medium · liquipedia.net, github.com 1, 2
How the date is known
Liquipedia's TaZ page lists 1024x768 with black bars in revision 240193 of 1 Nov 2015, and setup.gg's profile for TaZ (data.yml, published 13 Dec 2016) lists the same. CSGO-Optimiser's TaZ profile, added on 12 Jun 2014, also has a video.txt with 1024x768 at 4:3, but its config.cfg is not this one (in-game name "742", sensitivity 2), so it may not be his.
- 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 500 DPI of their setup.gg profile, which lists sensitivity 1.7; 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.
