Many players have been searching for settings of different pros to level up their game in CS2. It’s nothing surprising, and we do the same ourselves. But if you want to play like the best player in the world, you need to check out the GOAT’s settings—none other than Natus Vincere’s s1mple.
During his long tenure in CS:GO, s1mple triumphed in numerous tournaments, including PGL CS:GO Stockholm Major, IEM Katowice, IEM Cologne, and more. These victories cemented s1mple as the best player in the game’s history.

S1mple thinks CS2 is somewhat broken, but he has no choice but to compete in it, even though he hasn’t yet had the chance since he missed IEM Sydney 2023. But we will see him in action in November at BLAST Premier Fall Final 2023. While you don’t necessarily have to copy every one of s1mple’s settings, crosshair, and viewmodel, you can draw some inspiration and see what one of the biggest names in esports uses.
