A couple of months ago, you might not have known him. Now, Justinas “jL” Lekavicius is one of the brightest stars in Counter-Strike 2. Today, CS.MONEY Blog shows how jL plays CS2: all his settings, which mouse and monitor he uses, what launch parameters apply, jL’s crosshair, and more.
Did you know that the Lithuanian has an AK-47 Inheritance with four DickStacy stickers in his inventory? Such an unusual craft is an easy way to express your individuality, and CS.MONEY can help you create your perfect skin! Join us right now and get new skins cheap and easy!
jL’s settings: NVIDIA and monitor
We will just touch NAVI jL’s NVIDIA settings briefly because everything he has is just set up for max performance, and the key settings are adjusted directly in Counter-Strike 2. Let’s pay more attention to jL’s monitor. It’s the Zowie XL2566K, which is, you could say, a standard among professional players. Ropz also has the same one, and you can read about his settings here:
As for the monitor settings, they are as follows:
- Picture Profile: FPS 1
- Black Equalizer: 15
- Digital Brightness: 15
- Gamma: 4
- Color Temperature: Normal
- DyAc: Premium
- Brightness: 100
- Contrast: 69
- AMA: Premium
The settings are different from those of Ropz, but it’s important to understand that this is about personal color perception, and everyone has their own. It cannot be said that these parameters provide a competitive advantage.
jL’s settings: mouse and keyboard
NAVI jL plays with a Razer DeathAdder v3 Pro Black, and his mouse settings may seem quite unusual.
- DPI: 800
- Sensitivity: 1
- eDPI: 800
- Zoom Sensitivity: 1
- Windows Sensitivity: 6
- Hz: 4000
Interestingly, jL uses a higher DPI but low sensitivity. It’s also interesting that the mouse sensitivity is the same in and out of zoom. But there’s no problem with the minimum settings adjustment, as it’s very easy to remember everything.
Here, we also note jL’s keyboard. It’s not that he has some unusual model (Logitech G715) or settings. No, it’s just that this keyboard is beautifully decorated with custom keycaps and a front panel.
jL’s settings: Steam and launch parameters
jL’s CS2 launch parameters are as follows:
- -novid -tickrate 128 -refresh 240 -high -full -nod3d9ex fps_max 0 cl_updaterate 128 cl_cmdrate 128
Novid skips the video at the start of the game, tickrate 128 is used when creating a local server, refresh sets the screen refresh rate to 240 Hz, High launches the game with a higher process priority, and fps_max removes the frame rate cap. There’s nothing new here. Nod3d9ex, cl_cmdrate, and cl_updaterate commands are relics of the CS:GO era and now don’t affect anything.
jL’s CS2 settings: video
As for jL’s CS2 graphics video settings, inside the game, the Lithuanian uses the following parameters:
- Resolution: 1280*960
- Aspect Ratio: 4:3 Stretched
- Mode: Fullscreen
- Boost Players Contrast: Enabled
- Model/Texture Detail: Medium
- Shader Detail: High
- Particle Detail: Low
- Texture Filtering: Anisotropic 4x
- Anti-Aliasing: 4x MSAA
- Global Shadow Quality: High
- Ambient Occlusion: Disabled
- Extended Dynamic Range: Performance
- FidelityFX Super Resolution: Disabled
- NVIDIA Reflex Low Latency: Enabled
On one hand, most of the settings are more or less in line with the general meta. However, we suspect that these settings are not fully optimized (Anti-Aliasing and Extended Dynamic Range raise questions). Nevertheless, with these settings, jL won the Major, so obviously, he’s comfortable with them.
jL’s settings: crosshair
As usual, let’s first insert jL’s crosshair code into CS2:
- CSGO-siJp5-iBvEZ-yewes-HpMQO-3WfOQ
For those who like to enter commands in the console, it’s the same thing, but in text:
- cl_crosshair_drawoutline 0; cl_crosshairalpha 255; cl_crosshaircolor_b 177; cl_crosshaircolor_g 255; cl_crosshaircolor_r 0; cl_crosshairdot 0; cl_crosshairgap -2.8; cl_crosshairsize 1.4; cl_crosshairstyle 4; cl_crosshairthickness 0; cl_crosshair_sniper_width 0;
Our traditional warning: the crosshair and its configuration is an extremely intimate and subjective matter. There’s no need to chase after professional players to copy everything exactly. Find your own perfect option.
jL is a bright player, lots of potential and already a Major-winner. He’s not afraid to express his individuality, whether it’s settings or skins. Surely, if you want to upgrade your inventory, visit CS.MONEY, because we’ll help you put together your perfect set!
