Mathieu “ZywOo” Herbaut is a French professional CS2 player who is the AWPer and Rifler for Team Vitality. Over his career, he has been recognized for his great mechanical skill and intelligent game sense. Since joining the team in 2018, Vitality has grown to become one of the best teams in the world. Many fans want to know ZywOo’s pro settings so that they can try to improve at CS2.
ZywOo is known for playing very intelligently, constantly changing his position, and knowing what the other team will do to counter him and his team. He is considered to be one of the best players in Counter-Strike history, and in addition to many tournament win, he was ranked the No. 1 player in the world by HLTV in 2019, 2020, and 2023, as well as second best in 2021 and 2022.
As ZwyOo is known to be currently up there with the best CS2 players, many new players will be analyzing his gameplay to look for ways to improve their own game. Whilst copying his settings will sadly not turn you into a professional straight away, it’s a good starting point, and will definitely help you to get better at CS2.
Professional Counter-Strike players need to have perfect mouse settings in order to be comfortable and confident enough to have a precise aim. Whilst it is advised to find the mouse sensitivity and settings that feel most comfortable for you, it is a good idea to take a look at the sensitivities of other pros to give you a baseline and so that you can compare yourself to them. We have found ZywOo’s pro settings, if you want to try them for yourself. ZywOo uses pretty standard mouse settings, with an eDPI of 800. This is similar to the average eDPI that professional CS2 players like to use, which sits at around 900.
ZywOo uses the VAXEE OUTSET AX, and his particular mouse is custom-made. Only two of these yellow mice were ever produced by VAXEE, meaning it is very rare. The VAXEE brand is not the most popular with CS2 professionals, however there are quite a few players who like to use it. It’s quite light, has low click latency, and has a very sturdy build quality. It also has a nice cable and very good mouse feet that glide smoothly.
ZywOo uses the same as a lot of CS2 pro player settings for his monitor. Most players do not play on the standard 1920×1080 resolution in CS2, and prefer to use a stretched resolution due to its benefits. The main reason players prefer the 4:3 aspect ratio is its impact on the character models. The models for the in-game player characters appear almost 50% bigger with CS2 stretched resolution, and this makes it much easier for the players to hit enemies, which is obviously very important in professional matches. Changing the resolution will almost certainly help newer players rank up, as it makes aiming and hitting targets remarkably easier.
Another benefit of this resolution is that it can help players get higher frames per second if they are struggling with PC performance issues, especially given CS2’s higher system requirements.

ZywOo’s Video Settings are also similar to most CS2 pros. Some video settings are set to the highest possible in order to have the best visibility on the map, however some settings such as Texture Streaming and Motion Blur are disabled in order to experience smoother gameplay and better frames per second.
