He said that after Streaming at 1350×1080 resolution, he changed it to 1152×864 in an interview at the Blast event.
But it is currently unknown.
So the latest source at this time is 1152×864.
Try to describe the source.

How to distinguish ec2cw and ec3cw from photos?

j0dn

Had the same thought. I think it’s kinda impossible to toll just from this angle. Could be the ec3…

nikofanboy

In the absence of information, I’m sure there will be a lot of discussion, but since I used EC2 with my previous carrier, I think EC2-CW is a reasonable decision in general. 
Even if you think in terms of angles, EC2 and EC3 are almost the same size, so I don’t think it is possible to judge from the pictures.(I have two in my possession and there is virtually no difference. Unless there is a comparison, I can’t guess.)

your maker

one is longer, one is shorter. you can judge by their width to length proportions. doesnt take 999 iq for this.

your maker

that image posted earlier, looks like ec3cw. its bad only because of one reason and the main reason why most pro dont use it and prefer ec2shape. its it lacks ability. you can flick you can readjust fast. but stability is makes you perform steady over long period.

Vahie

what’s wrong with NiKo. He changes mouse every match. Its not good for his aim.

deadbywee 98650

what year was prime Niko or his peek in cs history and his setting too if any of yall have them?

Kardiac

in Faze he started with 1.4 @400DPI
Then shifted to 1.51 @400DPI

I think he was the best with 1.51.
BlameF started using 1.51 because of how good and consistent Niko was (he said it himself on stream).

DAME MKD

On what ress he played

juan

although he changes res frequently, he mostly played 1024×768 while on faze (2017-2019) and 1280×960 during 2021

DAME MKD

Did he played 1152 ress somedays from 2017-2019 or even 2017-2019

deadbywee 98650

when did he switch from 1.51

Kardiac

When he joined G2 he still had 1.51, so yeah he changed after joining G2
He has been switching his sens a lot.

Cl_interp ??

nikofanboy

It is clearly 4:3. Not 16:9.
G2esports uploaded an Instagram story of NiKo playing Aimbotz from behind before the match (FAZE vs G2), but obviously this is stretched and is 4:3.
I will upload that screenshot file here if needed.

You can take off the screen?

screenshot would be nice. I never saw a source proving anything about his res since world final

nikofanboy

1920×1080? where source???
Looking at the NiKo Photo taken by ESL, the FAZE vs G2 KTWC photo still appears to use 4:3.
Perhaps it is the angle of the photo or the HUD is set to 0.8, 0.9, etc. that makes it look like 16:9.
This was discussed in a thread on Twistzz.
In fact, this was only because of the angle of the photo, which made it look 16:9.

last crosshair niko ?!

Ayush Bhaumik

Does anyone think CS2 is bugged with 4000 Hz polling rate mice? I think at 4k polling my hyperx pulsefire haste 2 feels too jittery while holding angles. I wonder if niko missed his shots in katowice because of that. I see many skilled pros like zywoo, m0nesy, elige, donk etc are using 1k or 2k polling as well. Even though zywoo’s mouse supports 4k polling he still uses 1k polling rate. If anyone knows niko personally please tell him to go back down to 1k polling rate. He is missing shots he would hit 100% of times in CSGO.

Sakura Ran

yes,the 4000hz and 8000hz also not easy to aim,i changed it to 1000hz ,it fixd

ganer

I think the low delay and reinforcement set by Niko are related to his discomfort in pressing the gun and his inaccurate shooting 。If anyone knows Niko, you can tell him that the rate setting is the same as monsey and there is a low latency shutdown。 I really feel heartbroken seeing him like this

deadbywee 98650

hes getting old to it either these next 2-3 years he has to step up or its over for him to win a major

Ayush Bhaumik

Hi what settings are low delay and reinforcement in CS2 settings menu ? What do you think are the ideal settings ?

nope

He might be referring to the Nvidia reflex thing? at least thats the only thing that I can think of.

ganer

I think low latency is a hoax, it’s nothing to turn it on, but it’s pretty jitter, but it’s definitely a problem to turn it on and step up

ganer

rate, a maximum of 1000000, is no problem
