Cloud9 in January 2015, with n0thing, shroud, Semphis and ShahZaM. These are seang@res's CS:GO settings from 2017-01-15, the closest to January 2015 we found that can be converted, with the sensitivity and resolution from 2016-12-13. Source confidence: low.

This is the earliest crosshair of his with a source, two years after this lineup, so it may differ from what he used on Cloud9. From 1 Jun 2016 (revision 372464) the page had listed, without a source, the same size, thickness and gap but style 5, a dot and no outline, until this January 2017 edit replaced it. His Liquipedia table of 9 Apr 2019, from a Twitch clip, gives a smaller crosshair: size 1, thickness 0.4, gap -1.

Not in this config because the setting didn't exist yet, so off: cl_crosshair_t, cl_crosshair_recoil.
Not in this config, so off, as CS:GO had it by default: cl_crosshairgap_useweaponvalue.
The full outline (cl_crosshair_drawoutline 1) is modelled as 1 px all round; no game capture checks it yet.

These are seang@res's CS:GO settings from 2017-01-15, the closest to January 2015 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 960p, the resolution the crosshair's source lists; 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.

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 seangares-c9-ibp-2015 in the console.

Where these settings come from

Crosshair · 2017-01-15 · confidence low · liquipedia.net 1, 2
How the date is known
Liquipedia's seang@res page got this Crosshair table in revision 559016 of 15 Jan 2017, an edit that cites his Twitch chat commands (!sens, !crosshair) as its source, and it is unchanged in revision 576108 of 9 Feb 2017. The same revision lists 1280x960 stretched, so the crosshair is converted at 960p. The table has an outline thickness of 1 but no outline on/off field; the outline is read as on, a mapping choice that matches the share code Liquipedia's page generates for his 2019 table, which has the same fields. cl_crosshairusealpha 1 is assumed for its alpha 255, as the table gives no usealpha, and its r/g/b 255 do nothing with colour 1, the green preset.

How the date is known
setup.gg's profile for sgares (data.yml), added on 13 Dec 2016 and unchanged since, lists sensitivity 1.9 at 400 DPI, raw input off and no acceleration. It has no date of its own, so 13 Dec 2016 is only the latest date these can be from.

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.
