In 2020, Valorant, a character-based tactical shooter, was released by Riot Games. Since then, a wide variety of Agents and mechanics have been added to this title. Its emphasis on gun-based combat hasn't seen a shift, though.
With so many choices, the Settings menu in this title occasionally confuses even the most experienced of gamers. Hence, it might be helpful to look into the settings used by professional players.
Pontus “Zyppan” Eek is a professional Valorant player of Swedish nationality. He is currently on the Natus Vincere squad and was on the FunPlus Phoenix squad previously. He has achieved considerable success in the game and is primarily a Duelist/Flex player, often seen using Agents like Raze and KAY/O. All the in-game settings used by him — including his crosshair, video settings, mouse sensitivity, and so on — can be found below.

Zyppan is known for his outstanding movement and excellent aim. He is often the first person to enter a site; this can be as Raze with double Blastpacks, Neon with a Fast Lane, or even an Initiator like KAY/O, where he will just right-click flash and enter the area.
He excels in this game because of his ability to aggress effectively and make space for his team. What makes him an even more spectacular player to watch — an individual to fear if you are in the opposing squad — is his crosshair finding heads more often than not.
It will definitely take most amateur players more than just emulating the Swedish athlete's in-game settings to achieve his level of gameplay. However, if you feel you have a playstyle similar to the pro's but can't figure out exactly what settings will help you improve more, taking a look at Zyppan's Valorant settings will definitely be helpful.
