Let's get inspired by the best! We have prepared for you a list of settings and hardware of Alexander "zeek" Zygmunt, MVP of the Valorant Champions tournament.
"zeek" joined Acend in June 2021, replacing "koldamenta", who now plays for G2 Esports. This may have seemed like a big challenge for him back then, as Acend competed for the title of the best EMEA team – not only among fans, but also in the VCT Points ranking. As we see today, "zeek" had no problem meeting all of these expectations and proved that he is one of the best players in the world. And we all want to be inspired by the best, so let's take a look at what Aleksander "zeek" Zygmunt, the official MVP of the Valorant Champions tournament, uses for his gaming sessions.

As you can see from his stream, zeek's gameplay doesn't look the most beautiful in the world, but at least it's smooth. This is thanks to the very low graphics settings, which are sometimes necessary despite having a decent graphics card. Valorant is still under-optimized in this regard, so you risk lags with higher settings, and no lags can happen at the highest level. Just like ScreaM, he also has his shadows off, which is actually quite unpopular.
Acend zeek: Keyboard & Mouse Settings
For the keyboard settings, zeek swapped the keybinds for Abilities 1 & 2. Maybe it has something to do with the Agents he plays with, but it could just be a matter of convenience.
| Ability 1 | E instead of Q |
| Ability 2 | Q instead of E |
Zeek's mouse settings are perfect for fans of high-sensitivity gameplay. If you don't like flying your mouse all over the table while turning your back, try it out.
| DPI | 400 |
| eDPI | 284 |
| Sensitivity | 0.71 |
| Windows Sensitivity | 6 |
| Scoped Sensitivity | 0.883 |
Acend zeek: Crosshair
zeek's crosshair is a super small white dot, which at his 1280x960 resolution perfectly reflects the size of the character model's head. Perhaps that's the secret to his high headshot percentage?
| Color | White |
| Outlines | Off |
| Center Dot | Off |
| Inner Lines | 1 / 2 / 2 / 2 |
| Outer Lines | All Off |
| Errors | All Off |
