It is crucial to have well-tuned settings in Valorant to get the desired results in terms of gameplay and aim. Every single player has their own customized tuning for each game, and professional CS: GO player, S1mple makes no exception.

While there have been numerous rumors about him making the switch to Valorant, the professional debunked it while maintaining his stance for CS: GO.

However, that doesn’t stop the player from playing Riot Games’ very own take on shooter games with MOBA elements. While both CS: GO and Valorant have their own differences in gameplay, different tuning is also required. This article will look into the settings S1mple uses when playing Valorant.
