Its possible to anyone ask him or show me what is his calibration on razer synapse or lift off distance (LOD) it is one of the most important things to consider on raw aim

Lee

I remember it was in the middle

soso

new mousepad?

nikofanboy2

still the same artisan zero

Mikko

In his new POV, it can be heard that he has been communicating with his teammates more than m0nesy. It can be inferred that he has turned on voice communication. Please update it

Mikko

Not five people, he’s just playing with m0nesy

pease

maybe teamspeak i think

Mikko

but in pov, he wanted to flash A ramp, m0nesy didn’t at there, so I think so

Pretty sure he is using Vaxee XE wireless again in that clip from the skates.

niji

its not ec,the base is white,maybe vaxee xew

OGDDM

There’s a gap in between the top skates so Its can’t be Vaxee XE wireless
maybe he replaced the EC2-CW skates to PTFE skates

Rjr~

I think that’s correct. I looked again. I think he’s using Zowies speedy skates.

https://zowie.benq.com/en-us/mouse-skatez/type-d-white.html

Mikko

No, he is using GPW2 black. Upon closer inspection, it can be seen that his fingers are very forward, as well as the color and position of the foot patches

OGDDM

this can’t be GPW2
There’s no circle glides at all

m_yaw “0.022”; via config from this page

dogg

It was something invented to create that the sensitivity of black borders is the same in streched, no pro player uses it and you don’t use it, I already went through the same thing, that crap makes your vertical sensitivity higher than the horizontal one and creates many problems in your muscle memory the best solution is simply to lower your sensitivity if you ask me what range would be the best in streched I would say maximum 3.10 and minimum 1.20 400 dpi although it is quite crazy 1.20 some sick pro players use it. In conclusion, don’t use that and in case you have any doubts, no pro player uses it (it ruins the tracking)

dogg

nikofanboy niko is at one of his lowest levels he is not the goat in any sense

OGDDM

Fuck it, Name one Rifler that is better than NiKo in the past 3 years

dogg

there are many facets of niko in 2019 he was his worst year in 2016-17-18-22 he was very good but today at the moment he is not the goat nikofanboy

OGDDM

Know your facts dogggg
Past 3 months : https://ibb.co/wy9KbYS

OGDDM

dogg

kid famboy I don’t know if you can read I didn’t say that niko was a bad rifler or not the best I’m saying that he’s not at his best to call him a goat

juan

what its inears?

NameLI

Will Texture Filtering Mode decrease fps while playing?but niko uses 8x and 8x

Mikko

yes but his PC is very good

caderno

On old cards, antialiasing decreases fps a lot, but the newer models the impact is negligible. Best to test yourself and see if there is impact.

NameLI

ty alot

lam phuc

did niko use any mouse feet for his dav3? can some1 answer pls

Mikko

he use the mouse side

nikofanboy2

he uses the default mouse feet on all his mice

juan

someone who have the clip i am sure it was a russian channel that uploaded NiKo setup video to send me i would me thankfull thanks.

nikofanboy2

the channel got perma deleted by ESL i doubt anybody would have the clip. basically every setting in the video is outdated tho anyway. Alk i remember from the video that isnt on this website is that his desk height was 75cm and his chair height was as low as it goes.

dogg

please who the hell cares about the height of his chair only to a sick obsessive

What resolution was he using in the final match?

pelox

People are confused no one really knows what resolution it uses, we do not know exactly if it is 1152×864 or 1280×960 can anyone corroborate this information exactly? thank you guys!

sage

this video https://youtu.be/uGsnWZH3dwA?t=1612 at 26:52 shows that it’s 1152. Myself and a few other people who actively follow niko’s settings know for a fact that this is how his net_graph lines up on this res. For some reason, though, people are incapable of believing this and insist that it’s 1280. People are even referring to his twitch bio which certainly was not updated mid-cologne.

it was 1152 during cologne. that’s it. we have a video—there’s literally no better way to verify it than niko himself saying what it was.

sage

i also love the argument that people use against 1152 which is literally, “how could you possibly tell the res based on that video? since i can’t tell, it must be 1280.”

like, bruh.

sage

I’m completely unbiased because don’t even use 1152 myself—I use 1280. I’m just trying to state once and for all for the people on this website that he was using 1152 during cologne. I swear people in this comment section have smooth brains.

OGDDM

also his crosshair code look more like his preference on 1152 res instead of 1280

Mikko

when he use the code CSGO-JTH6M-n9STM-r5NBU-YUsjU-4fWjM about crosshair, he always use 1280, never 1152

bbb

1280X960 str in final, hes never used this crosshair on 1152 (the same from the famous major final he missed the deagle shot)

sage

are you guys actually stupid or just illiterate?

Mikko

why are u said these fking word, it just a talking

sage

you guys love to make these claims but never back it up. here’s him on 1152 with this crosshair https://youtu.be/R519X_26M4A?t=84.

it’s a classic niko faze crosshair and res combo. you guys are melting my brain right now.

niko!

FPS MAX? cl_interp_radio 1 or 2?

Mikko

in last live he used fps_max 400 cl_interp_ratio 1 but i think he has some changes

WAR_COMMANDER

SO ITS 4:3 Stretch ? 1152×864 or nay other aspect ratio

Liam

its 1280×960

sage

no, it’s not. it’s 1152. https://youtu.be/uGsnWZH3dwA?t=1612
this video was taken during cologne. you think that twitch bio was updated mid cologne? no way.

Shinpo

Can someone tell me why Niko use 1152×864 rather than 1280×960?Thanks.

MaRt11n

it mostly depend on his mood,he also used 1024×768

dogg

It is the new 1024 from 2016-17 and a little 2018 since the textures reduced their size, which caused them to increase a resolution. The 1152 from 2016 is the 1280 from now in 2018, for example, I was playing 800×600 and when the textures were reduced, I changed to 1024 (always speaking in streched because if you use 1152 in bb that’s crap it will still be 1024)

Dude,did u know get what iems he’s using now?

sssnk

How do u guys know it’s XSoft artisan but not soft verison?

nikofanboy2

honestly there would be no way of knowing probably (tbh i doubt even niko would be able to answer)

sssnk

yeah becuz 90% of ppl is using soft version instead of XSoft

Siddle

Xsoft provide a better stopping power when you press down your mouse into the mousepad. More controlled version as the Soft

Sage

please update to 1152×864 look at the net_graph and how it lines up with his hud

Wrong. Artisan logo is on the right, while Vaxee PA black has it on the left (which is quite normal). Besides that, Artisan zero has stitches – the vaxee PA black does not. Source: https://www.hltv.org/gallery/view/177910

Curpansat

He’s using 1152×864 rn, if you check his last instagram story and if you have his CFG. His negraph and the package collection text are aligned exactly on 1152. The “tps” text is starting from the last “n” from the “Collection” word. And you can check that by changing the resolution on 1280.

Curpansat

In that way, you’ll notice that he’s using 1152. 😀

nikofanboy

agree

Does NiKo use G-Sync?

Niko_fans

Zowie monitor does not have G-Sync.

Marius

What is -freq 360 for? Is it for monitors with 360hz? If so, I have a monitor 240hz, Do i need to put -freq 240?
Thanks for the reply in advance

erionn

Yes, -freq [monitor hz]

Buzz

-freq isn’t needed in the launch options tho. The monitor automatically runs on 240/360 hz, you can just check the correct setting in the display options.
