Effys’ Configuration and Crosshair for VALORANT

CS:GO Pro Player effys Transitioning to VALORANT Competitive Scene

When VALORANT was launched in 2020, many long-time CS:GO players expressed interest in the game. Loic “effys” Sauvageau, a professional CS:GO player, was one of them. Hailing from Canada, effys has been a part of VALORANT’s competitive scene since the beginning. He currently plays for Version1 and recently qualified for the VCT 2021: Stage Two Masters Reykjavík, the first international LAN tournament for VALORANT. Despite a strong start, V1 dropped to the lower bracket and faced off against Fnatic, the tournament runner-up.

Considering that Sentinels, another North American team, claimed the title, the level of competition in VALORANT is at its peak. As effys and his squad prepare for the next major LAN tournament, fans who watched the competition may be looking for ways to optimize their own gameplay.

Professional players spend hours optimizing their settings, but you can save time by following effys’ example. Here are effys’ VALORANT settings and crosshair:

Professional players often use the best hardware, yet they still prefer to play with the lowest visual settings in VALORANT. This could be a habit carried over from their Counter-Strike days. Lowering the visual quality settings removes distractions and enhances clarity, making it easier to spot enemies.

Another reason for using the lowest configuration is that professionals often have to play on different hardware while traveling for tournaments. This way, they can play under the same conditions regardless of their setup.
