#3 in HLTV Top 20 Players of 2013 (VeryGames). These are shox's CS:GO settings from 2014-07, the closest to 2013 we found that can be converted, with the sensitivity from 2013 and the DPI and resolution from 2016-12-13. Source confidence: medium.

There is a config from 2013, but it doesn't record the crosshair style or gap, so the crosshair comes from the closest one that can be converted (July 2014). That 2013 autoexec sets cl_crosshaircolor 4 (cyan), size 6.16, thickness 1.15 and cl_dynamiccrosshair 1, so his 2013 crosshair was probably cyan rather than the yellow one here.

cl_crosshairstyle 2; cl_crosshair_length 3; cl_crosshair_thickness 2; cl_crosshair_gap -1; cl_crosshairdot 0; cl_crosshair_t 0; cl_crosshair_drawoutline 0; cl_crosshair_recoil 0; cl_crosshaircolor_r 250; cl_crosshaircolor_g 250; cl_crosshaircolor_b 50; cl_crosshaircolor_a 255; cl_crosshair_dynamic_splitdist 5; cl_crosshair_dynamic_splitalpha_innermod 1; cl_crosshair_dynamic_splitalpha_outermod 1; cl_crosshair_dynamic_maxdist_splitratio 0; 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.
cl_crosshairalpha 800 is outside 0-255; the old game drew it as 255.
Exported as style 2, Dynamic Cross (Classic), which like the old style 2 places the bars at the weapon's spread plus the gap, so the gap is the old one without Static Cross's fixed 4 px and can be negative. The at-rest shape matches the old one with a rifle; this is from the game code, not checked in game.

These are shox's CS:GO settings from 2014-07, the closest to 2013 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, shox'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 4 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 shox-2013 in the console.

Where these settings come from

Crosshair, viewmodel, HUD and radar · 2014-07 · confidence medium · github.com 1, 2, 3
How the date is known
Game-written config.cfg from setup.gg's archive, with the in-game name 'EPSILON shoxieJESUS * Viewsonic'. It has engine_no_focus_sleep and cl_radar_square_with_scoreboard (added 23 Jul 2014) but not cl_crosshairgap_useweaponvalue (added 1 Aug 2014), so it was saved between those dates. He was then at Epsilon eSports, which Liquipedia lists him with from 9 Jun to 3 Sep 2014, seven months after his time at VeryGames (7 May to 31 Dec 2013) ended.
Sensitivity · 2013 · confidence medium · github.com 1, 2
How the date is known
Hand-written autoexec.cfg headed 'www.TEAM-VERYGAMES.net - autoexec.cfg - 08/12/2013' (8 Dec or 12 Aug 2013) with a 'VERYGAMES SERVERS' alias section. setup.gg also holds a Titan-branded copy with the same header date, filed under cajunb but with a '// shox CVARS' section, so it is his own file re-branded for Titan with the header date kept; the VeryGames branding places this copy in his VeryGames days.
DPI (same sensitivity) · 2016-12-13 · confidence medium · github.com

setup.gg's profile for shox (team listed as g2), published in setupgg/data on 13 Dec 2016 and not changed afterwards. It lists sensitivity 3, the same as his configs, with 400 DPI at 1000 Hz.

DPI is only taken from a source that lists the same sensitivity, so the eDPI matches the sensitivity shown. The other parts can come from configs of different dates, as listed.
