#4 in Esports Earnings: top CS:GO prize-money earners of 2012 (Ninjas in Pyjamas). These are friberg's CS:GO settings from 2012-12-13, the year of the ranking, with the sensitivity from 2012-08-11 and the resolution from 2016-12-13. Source confidence: low.
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 friberg-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 1.4; zoom_sensitivity_ratio 1; m_pitch 0.022; m_yaw 0.022
Their DPI isn't documented with this sensitivity. The matcher below assumes 800 DPI, from their setup.gg profile (2016-12-13, where they used sensitivity 1.1); change it if you know better.

Where these settings come from
- Crosshair · 2012-12-13 · confidence low · github.com 1, 2
How the date is known
Preset 'NiP friberg' in the first commit (13 Dec 2012) of Skarbo's CS:GO crosshair generator, a third-party tool; later commits never change its values. His own 2012 config (used for the sensitivity) has the same colour (4) and size (2), with thickness 0.52 and the dynamic crosshair on. That config predates cl_crosshairgap (added 22 Aug 2012) and cl_crosshairstyle, so the preset's gap 0 and style 2 don't come from it; its cl_dynamiccrosshair 1 (widening when moving) fits style 2.
- Sensitivity · 2012-08-11 · confidence medium · github.com 1, 2
How the date is known
His autoexec.cfg sets sensitivity 1.4 and ends with echo "Updated: 2012-08-11". His game-written config.cfg also has 1.4 and lacks cl_crosshairgap, added on 22 Aug 2012, so it is from before that date.
- Resolution · 2016-12-13 · confidence low · github.com, steamcommunity.com
How the date is known
setup.gg's player profile (1280x1024, 5:4), created in setupgg/data's first commit on 13 Dec 2016 and never changed. It gives no date or source, so this is only when it was published. No source from 2012 gives his resolution: a Steam forum post of 11 Oct 2014 that points to NiP's team page lists 1280x960 (with launch options -w 1280 -h 960), and the CS:GO Player Setups sheet (row updated 3 Mar 2016) lists 1280x1024 5:4 stretched to 16:9.
- 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 800 DPI of their setup.gg profile, which lists sensitivity 1.1; 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.
