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 guardian-2015 in the console.

How the date is known
Liquipedia's GuardiaN page has had this Crosshair table since revision 156446 of 15 Jun 2015, and it is unchanged in revision 247084 of 16 Nov 2015. The table cites no source (the gear table beside it cites his Twitch chat commands), so the date is when it was added to the page, not when he set it. Both revisions list 800x600 with black bars, the resolution shown here. Its outline thickness 0 is read as the outline off, and cl_crosshairusealpha 1 is assumed for its alpha 255, as the table gives no usealpha.

How the date is known
A config.cfg written by GuardiaN's game, from setup.gg's archive. 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.

How the date is known
From setup.gg's profile for GuardiaN (data.yml), published on 13 Dec 2016 and not changed since. It doesn't say when the values were collected, so this is the latest possible date. Its sensitivity, 1.3, is the same as in the July 2014 config.

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.
