Cloud9 in January 2015, with n0thing, seang@res, shroud and Semphis. These are ShahZaM's CS:GO settings from 2015-05-11, the closest to January 2015 we found that can be converted, with the viewmodel from 2023-10-19 and the sensitivity and resolution from 2016. Source confidence: low.
No crosshair of his from his Cloud9 time itself is known: this one was added to Liquipedia 17 days after it ended and may differ from what he used in January 2015. From revision 243270 of 7 Nov 2015 the page gives style 6 instead, with every other value unchanged; the earlier style 4 is used here. ProSettings.net's page for him, last updated in October 2023 and the source of the viewmodel, HUD and radar here, lists a later crosshair with gap -2.

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 shahzam-c9-ibp-2015 in the console.

Where these settings come from
- Crosshair · 2015-05-11 · confidence low · liquipedia.net 1, 2, 3
How the date is known
Liquipedia's ShahZaM page has had this Crosshair table since revision 125702 of 11 May 2015, the day he joined Tempo Storm and 17 days after his time on Cloud9 ended (15 Dec 2014 to 24 Apr 2015 in the same revision's infobox), and it is unchanged in revision 234681 of 24 Oct 2015. The table cites no source, so the date is when it was added to the page, not when he set it. The same revision lists 1024x768 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.
- Viewmodel, HUD and radar · 2023-10-19 · confidence low · github.com 1, 2, prosettings.net
How the date is known
ProSettings.net's page for him, last updated on 19 Oct 2023, after he had moved to VALORANT, as saved in a scrape of its CS2 player pages uploaded to GitHub on 10 Jan 2024 (a scrape of 20 Mar 2024 gives the same last-updated date). The viewmodel, HUD and radar come from its tables. 19 Oct 2023 is when the page as a whole was last updated, not when these settings were entered.
- Sensitivity · 2016 · confidence low · github.com 1, 2, 3
How the date is known
setup.gg's profile for him (data.yml), first published on 13 Dec 2016, lists sensitivity 1.7 at 400 DPI with raw input on and no acceleration. It lists him on Echo Fox, where he played from 8 May to 3 Dec 2016 (Liquipedia), so the values most likely date from that time.
- Resolution · 2016 · confidence low · github.com 1, 2
How the date is known
The same setup.gg profile lists 1024x768 at 4:3. It has no date of its own; it lists him on Echo Fox (8 May to 3 Dec 2016) and was published on 13 Dec 2016.

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.
