crashies is that one player who always provides the crowd with flashy actions. Let's see a setup that he's using to achieve that!
Austin "crashies" Roberts is a pro player who was a part of the VCT Champions 2022 runner-up roster, and is now playing for NRG Esports in the VCT Franchising circuit. The skills that he shows when playing Initiator and Sentinel Agents are breathtaking. Besides well-developed muscle memory, this player has quite an interesting setup that can inspire many aspiring pros. Let's check it out!

For his mouse setting, you can see a pretty standard setup with high DPI and low sensitivity settings. Even though it looks pretty simple, it is probably the most crucial part of the entire setup, as these settings affect how quickly and accurately crashies hits all the targets. He got used to these settings over the years, so if you prefer a different setup (for example — low DPI, high sensitivity), no worries; the most important thing is that it works for you. However, if you don't have your go-to setup and you're searching for inspiration, crashies's mouse settings are definitely worth trying out!
