ESL: can we ask you some questions about your CSGO setup? s1mple: yeah sure s1mple: *starts practicing and doesn't even care about the interview
That's part of the interview script lol
What a chad
Its actually interesting to see, that especially the two top players Zywoo and S1mple don't seem to care too much about how alinged, angled and what exact postion/height everything is.
even niko doesnt care too much.
Is cause it's all feel. They just playing cs and shit is gonna change. Maybe they have knot in they back, desk gonna change a bit. Also who tf is how pull out a protractor at lan 😂
i wanna sit back further from my monitor but shit, my mouse always hits the base of the monitor. So i play screen closer and have my arm behind the screen. short guy issues maybe
@@Fujhipngff well, many if mot most actually do
Well I guess they do care but as he said its just that the can feel what is comfortable for them and they dont measure it. Just because they cant tell you the monitor must be exactly 30,7cm away from the edge of the desk it doesnt mean they dont care if its 10cm away or 60.
I love how he has changed in such a grown way..he is actually an amazing guy, just 2 years ago i had a totally another picture of how he is as a person, but he is actually great, one of the greatest cs players of all times.
Same here..when I got back from not looking at CS n the whole scene for like 2 yrs I was shocked s1mple was alot diff than the old memes back then Still the same playmaker doe

It was easy to know teammate settings, but also to know other people settings and preference is brilliant of s1mple.
s1mple is such a GOAT for being so chill and explaining even all the niche parts like his specific postures because he knows people want to emulate him 1:1 😂
one of the best cs entertainment i have seen in a long time. immerse yourself in the head of the pro player and his habits in a relaxed mood. really great. next time take viewmodel and interp stories and it's 5/5. really great also how spunj asks the questions. exactly the right one for this job
Brooooo the moment when you said you didn’t know how to use the protractor I died 🤣💀
was waiting for this :D thanks esl
Thank you ESL for this
My man Chad, you are the most open-minded dummy at the same time. Mean it with love. Was cute when you were figuring out how to use the protractor EDIT: also it's absolutely amazing how the GOAT uses scroll wheel for nades instead of vcxz or whatnot. So sick!

I was just laughing at simple trying his best not to correct him when he was trying to use the protractor. He was clearly visibly confused and wanted to correct him so bad XD
I was waiting on this video for so long omg W
Been using his crosshair shown here for a while, it actually really helps for the first 10 bullets of the spray. It messes up your aim at first though if you're used to static crosshairs. Despite that, it has helped me improve my aim!
do you just line up the top of the crosshair with how far you pull down??
I was waiting this
very cool insight! More videos like these super entertaining!
Top tier content keep it up
Can we take a second and appreciate how much S1mple’s english has improved. Huge props to him
What a good lad
looooooove this series :D
I remember being stuck gold nova master. I left that hell hole after switching to s1mples configs. Everything is just much better than the default. Also uses tariks config for the placement of the gun kept it semi far left
Good friend of mine always puts his left leg up like that when he drives, I forget where I read it but I believe it has something to do with sensory and focus.
I drive and pay CS with my left leg up 🤭
I do the same. Feels weird for me to sit with both feet flat on the ground. Too relaxed somehow
His voice is so calm I don’t play CSGO but I enjoy watching this. Will try everything out if I do decide to play one day lol
hardest game you will ever play wouldn’t recommend if you don’t want to spend 500-1000 hours just to be “alright” and by “alright” I mean silver
@@KingNatee 1000 hours and silver lmao, 1000 is enough to get to global bruh
@@rassesse1293 not even close
@@rassesse1293 assuming you are global ? assuming you compete in lvl 8-10 faceit right ?
@@KingNatee 1000 hours is about 1500 games, if you actually play the game and not farm hours in main menu. You can reach global in 1500 matches, i have friends who have 1000 hours and are global, i’m not saying they’re average, but 1000 hours is a dmg for sure, most people don’t even get silver after their first 10 placement wins, silver is for people new to the fps genre. And yes I’m lvl 10 but I don’t see how that’s relevant
one of the best player settings videos lmao, i went to this video just to find out if he strafes with his thumb and middle finger, while moving back and forth with his index finger at that keyboard angle, instead of the usual strafe with right and index, and move back and forth with middle. seems he barely uses his pinky with this position as well. 15:32 15:42 16:09
Damn rhis is sick i tryed this after 2 days went from silver 2 to supreme thx so much
This God doesn't even need binds for nades and uses scroll wheel!!!
i think his gamesense won't let him get caught with nades out so he can take time with the scroll wheel, i don't trust my game IQ so I bind my nades xD
I play counter strike for 18 years now,, i change nades with the 4 button still, have to click multiple times to get the nade that i want.. but it doesn't bother me, i grew up doing it like that.. and it feels right for me
@@ShkodranMaliqi same, I also press Q most of the time to use the latest selected nade
@@ShkodranMaliqi Personally, i have pretty much just coppied Valorants utility settings since i find them very intuitive. Q for flash, E for Smoke, C for HE and X for molly. Quickswitch is placed on mouse 5 but i never use it, i always press 1+2+1 or 1+3+1 for some reason.
He is a really kind guy !
The details 🤩😍
Thanks for this video! Great one!
Even though this guy is extremely popular, he is always humble. Stay like that brother. I wish you all the best in life.
Thx bro / S1mple
@@elgiganten6154 ?? lmfao
when he first came to CSGO, he wasn't that humble. But as years come by, he matures a lot. ANd glad to say he's humble now
@@stefanusrianto8781 I used to hate his arrogance too but that's just the competitive nature and being a kid means, added csgo's community is so toxic so can't blame him for that. what we see now is his true self. and i'm just blown away of what character he becomes. no hate for that guy anymore, just admiration
10:10 that's literally what I discovered by myself and nobody believed me when I was saying that to somebody.
Nobody believed you but you told somebody... i always tell the truth sometimes
Now you know my pain, i was telling people since 2015 that SG and AUG are OP... 4 y later all the pros use them until they are nerfed xD
@@frog382 the AUG wasn't OP... They buffed it. The SG was the hidden one
@@KeefeL WRONG. AUG was even more OP and the fact its a CT scoped rifle made it even more insane. And it was never hidden, its the community that is a herd, who follows what they are being told without testing and experimenting themselves.

would love to see one with niko or m0nesy! love the style of video though!

okay we got his keyboard angle, now we can finally be on s1mple's level
surely
Surprised how many binds i share with simple! except i have clear decals on tab, and one of my mouse buttons changes my crosshair red (from cyan/light blue) so i can do sky line-ups. Also cant believe he uses scroll wheel for nades lmao!
i dont know who is this guy but scrolwheel for nades haha, just silvers do that
@@JURITO1000 😂
that's just amazing, playing same 400dpi (mx500 mouse) and 3 in game sensitivity.
pls do a video about monesy settings and setup he's just insane
Great video! Suggestion: adding a footrest to this setup will result in a subtle but mind-blowing difference. 2:07 instead of feet planted on the floor, he balances on his tiptoes. This is because his feet are too short to support his preferred desk height. Adding a footrest will let him plant his feet firmly. That will help him sit taller in proportion to the desk. Adding a footrest will then drastically improve his upper body positioning at the desk. 1:50 Upper arm is at a weird angle. The upper arm falling down at a 90-degree angle will exert less shoulder pressure. It will also put your forearm in a more stable position, giving you better mouse control.
the foot rest could help him but changing upper arm angle could really affect his gameplay badly
Hey ESL, get ropz on this one next time and prepare for 1 hour episode.

Havent played csgo in 4 years, but this was very interesting
Yea i feel the same... last play cs 1.6 and now play csgo start 2022 it feels wow bro
The protractor interaction was hilarious
such a legendary player
S1mple the man
You didn't mention the mouse pad style and surface. It looks pretty soft but real information would be nice while you have the chance. Otherwise great video!
for the decals I use bind "a" "+moveleft;r_cleardecals" and bind "d" "+moveright;r_cleardecals" because i suck whit the nades so ineed the mouse buttons for them :)
Great video guys
What a legend. The fact that he's doing this when his country going through a literal war (assuming this was shot recently). GOAT
Everybody is gonna setup like this now :D
Love the guy. So nice.
so helpful for someone like me who's stuck at all default settings :D
7:42 He's an alien look at his eyes , that's why he's the best player ever touched the game
wtf
huh?
Me: finally the nvidia settings!!!!! s1mple: I dont touch anything here T_T
😂
Hahahahah me toooo rofl
well if you take a close look some of the settings are changed, not sure if that is his settings or from the guys who invited him here.
I also saw that settings are changed , like texture qaulity , power magament and low latancy mode on. And how to know this is his settings or somebody else.
He trust Nvidia settings 😂😎
1.6 crosshair style i love it
Goat at everything he does.
S1mple is just the coolest dude. It's hard to not be a fan when a player is the best in the world and also a good person. I root for NA but I'm a huge Navi fan because of S1mple. Not sure what I wish for when Liquid plays Navi lol

"The S1mple setup: Good for your health, good for your body"
Everybody loves simple, such a good guy honestly
good guy? hes extremely racist.
Omg this is so amazing
Fun fact s1mple and zywoo both use scroll to use grenades smokes and stuff
s1mple used to have 3.09 sesivity, we multiply this on 400dpi it was always equal to 1236 eDPI. I remember that clearly. Maybe he reduce his sensivity to 3 but it actually surprises me. Sanya always said "never change your sensivity". You can ask him on stream. I believe it's still 3.09. Personally I play 1500 dpi with 0.8 sesivity (1200 eDPI), it's almost similar to s1mple's one.
maybe he said 3 for brevity on stream... but idk why if he always uses 3.09 why not just say 3.09? unless maybe he will use either like when he said "set to .5" and left it at .49 lol... not really a difference you know
is 3.09 , Because his settings are the same as 3.09
It is still 3.09. he corrected this on twitter xD
He is still on 3.09, he said that on todays tweet.
of course, he doesn't want to tell all his views as they really are
insane settings
Something that is interest is that S1mple and other pros use thumb to press the D key to walk rightways, instead of the index finger
The more spunj metion Elige, the more i want to know his setup
Weird that he uses 3 instead of 3.09 sens
It's so interesting for me that S1mple don't use nade binds, I've recently discover (a couple months ago) that Fallen don't use it too. Kinda mind blowing for me tbh.
please do one for niko i loved this series
interesting decision from s1mple to use scroll wheel for nades instead of binds, cause sometimes for example opposite team pushes site, you're flashed and you desperately need a grenade, but you can't see anything and so scroll wheel becomes kinda useless
I imagine he meant that he knows what nade he is on by the amout of clicks that his mwheel makes.
That's what happened with Yekindar during their game against Faze he was blind and mollied but he pulled out a flash instead of a mollie. It really depends on the players role tbh since some players won't need it as much as players who anchor the site that play new box, pit, under balc, etc,.
@@manuelquiloboy2956 oh yeah, I remember that XD
I personally use: G = smoke, F = flash, 4=HE and MMwheeldown = molly. that way I don't draw the wrong nade regardless of visibility/inventory
@@Nunez87 4 = HE CTRL = MOLLY SPACE = SMOKE C = FLASH I have smoke on space so no matter what I get my smoke off. Sometimes using ESDF really fucks your binds up.
NOT 3.09 ANYMORE, DAMN
