Are there any high-sens pro CS players at all?

ive been a high senser since i got my first pc years ago. using only the movemet of my palm and wrist i can turn 360 degrees. my settings for cs:s are 1600dpi windows sens 6 ingame sens 4, however when i read about pro players they all have sensitivity about 4 times less than me so i bought this huge FNATIC TITAN pad and have been practicing for some time with ingame sens 1 leaving the rest the same. with low sens i can get more headshots in far/medium distances but am totally inferior in close quarters. generally when i get back to old high sens settings i get monster kills etc and overall better results so i dont know weter to continue learning low-sens gaming or to go back to high sens. so are there any high-sensitivity counterstrike playersat all? i ask this becasue i would like to go pro to some extent, but currently it seems to me that high-sens players don't get pro.
 
Low sense is better for sniping and high sense for close range twitch gaming. It's purely preference mate doesn't matter at all, if you're good then you're good, it's like mouse invert (though the reason for that is different as it allows you to look up quicker than down as when you are on high ground you have the advantage anyway). It also depends on the mouse as well, I went from using like 15 on a generic mouse to 4.8 on a razer mouse, mousepad helps too. Just keep with what you get unless you actually feel like you would benefit from lower sense.
 
There's way too many variables here. Play style, reaction speed, arm and finger length, coarse vs fine motor control, teammates strengths.

The essential question is, is it easier for you to learn to get more headshots at range with your current settings? Or is is easier to get better at CQC at low sensitivity.

I don't keep track of the pro CS scene that much, but here's guys that I'm pretty sure use 3.5 and above.

i use sensitivity 1 in-game, and the highest dpi setting on my mouse 3200dpi...

and that gives the best feel, its quite wierd everything is bery accurate with the mouse sens that high, but game sens so low.
