#5 in Esports Earnings: top CS:GO prize-money earners of 2012 (Ninjas in Pyjamas). These are Fifflaren's CS:GO settings from 2012, the year of the ranking, with the resolution from 2014-06-12. Source confidence: medium.
The 'NiP Fifflaren' preset in Skarbo's third-party CS:GO crosshair generator (13 Dec 2012) has the same colour, size, thickness, gap and dot, with alpha 255 and style 2; that style has no basis in his own config, which has the dynamic crosshair off. His next dated configs use style 4: CSGO-Optimiser's 'fifflaren' profile, saved between August 2013 and January 2014 (size 3, thickness 0.5, gap -2, colour 4), and Liquipedia in November 2014 (size 3, thickness 0.5, gap 0, colour 4).
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 fifflaren-2012 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 1; 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 2.2); change it if you know better.

Where these settings come from
- Crosshair · 2012 · confidence medium · github.com 1, 2
How the date is known
Game-written config.cfg saved under the name 'NiP-Fifflaren-', published by setup.gg in 2016, the same file as the sensitivity. It has cl_crosshairgap (added 22 Aug 2012) but no cl_crosshairstyle, which Skarbo's generator already used on 13 Dec 2012, so it was most likely saved between those dates. Instead of a style it has sfcrosshair 0 (the classic crosshair) and cl_dynamiccrosshair 0 (no widening when moving); style 4 (Classic Static), the style of his next configs, is a mapping choice for that. Whether this crosshair still widened when firing is not documented.

How the date is known
video.txt (1024x768, aspect ratio mode 0, i.e. 4:3) in the 'fifflaren' profile of CSGO-Optimiser, a third-party tool, added in its commit of 12 Jun 2014; the file has no date of its own, so that is only the latest it can be from. The same profile's game-written config.cfg ('NiP-Fifflaren- Telia') has a medal-stats timestamp of 24 Aug 2013 and lacks lobby_voice_chat_enabled (added 23 Jan 2014), so it was saved between those dates. setup.gg's player profile (created 13 Dec 2016, undated) also lists 1024x768 at 4:3. No source from 2012 gives his resolution.
- 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 2.2; 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.
