    Taking a page out of his teammate woxic’s book, Calyx has chosen a very high effective DPI value that is made up of a mouse DPI of 800 and an in-game sensitivity of 2, totaling his eDPI to 1600. Simply put, these are insane numbers in professional player terms, but it seems to be working out just fine for him.

    Calyx is using a very small crosshair with a crosshair length of 1 and a thickness value of 1, as well. Additionally, he is using a minimal gap of -4, making his crosshair as compact as possible. He has also chosen cyan as his crosshair color of choice.
