#6 in HLTV Top 20 Players of 2015 (Team EnVyUs). These are kennyS's CS:GO settings from 2014-04, the closest to 2015 we found that can be converted, with the DPI and resolution from 2016-12-13. Source confidence: medium.
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 kennys-2015 in the console.

Where these settings come from
- Crosshair, viewmodel, HUD and radar · 2014-04 · confidence medium · github.com 1, 2
How the date is known
Game-written config.cfg from setup.gg's archive. It has cl_scoreboard_mouse_enable_binding (added 23 Apr 2014) but none of the cl_hud_* settings added on 1 May 2014, which every config in the archive with newer settings has, so it was saved between those dates.
- Sensitivity · 2014-04 · confidence medium · github.com 1, 2
How the date is known
From the same game-written config.cfg as the crosshair, which has cl_scoreboard_mouse_enable_binding (added 23 Apr 2014) but no cl_hud_* settings (added 1 May 2014), so it was saved between those dates.
- DPI (same sensitivity) · 2016-12-13 · confidence medium · github.com
How the date is known
setup.gg's profile for kennyS (data.yml), added to its data repository on 13 Dec 2016 and never changed. It lists the same sensitivity as the 2014 config, 2.2, at 400 DPI; when the values were collected isn't stated.
- Resolution · 2016-12-13 · confidence medium · github.com
How the date is known
From setup.gg's profile for kennyS (data.yml), added to its data repository on 13 Dec 2016 and never changed. It doesn't say when the settings were collected.

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.
