Tip: Try some deathmatches before jumping into Premier

Players often just copy pros’ settings and jump straight into the Premier mode or matchmaking. Try a few deathmatches or practice maps first to see if s1mple’s settings suit you.

Using s1mple’s CS2 settings can help you climb the ranks but ensure you change your viewmodel, crosshair, and video features to suit your playstyle. Sticking to a pro’s settings doesn’t always work. If you don’t like s1mple’s settings, you can always check out other players like NiKo, ZywOo, or m0NESY.
