Haksal, 25k edpi on widow/ashe. 30 in game sens on both.
Shadowburn, 10k edpi. Genji main, but also plays hanzo.
Anyone know anymore?

The fact that 10k eDPI is high, and then the fact that haksal plays at a 2.5x higher eDPI is nuts
Doing more than acknowledging their sens exists is silly. Pros are pros because theyāre freaks and what works for them works because theyāre freaks.
I know right? But check this out. I found a guy even higher than Haksal
Chro, 72.5k edpi. Playing widow against top 10 widow.
Can you imagine how many 360s he can do with just one arm swing? At least 5.
I used to play at 35,000ā¦
Also, Chro plays at 72,500 eDPI and is consistently GM/Occasionally Top500 so thereās that!
Also Chros keybinding in general are weird
At least?
It only takes him 3/4ths of an inch to do a full 360 turn 
Geguriās eDPI is 14,400
Thereās a t500 DPS named āOnetapmanā who is consistently a top Soldier/McCree who plays with 23,320 eDPI.

Is there anyone else whose even clpse to Chros sens though?
I am no professional player, but I use 15 sensitivity and 2k DPI

10k is high but not insanely high, reasonable sensitivities lie between 2000 and 10000 edpi iād say
So far weāve got
Chro. 72.5k edpi top 500 junkrat.
Geguri, owl pro, 14.4k edpi tank player. Tracking is so good on zarya that she was accused of aim botting. (which she later proved wasnāt true)
Haksal, owl pro, 25k edpi. Plays tracer, genji, hanzo, widow, and ashe.
Onetapman, top 500 mcree/soldier player with 23k edpi.
Shadowburn, owl pro, 10k edpi hanzo, genji, pharah, widow.
Anyone else? Preferably someone that plays aim intensive heroes.

His sens is just crazy. Why would you want to be able to do like 5 360s from moving your mouse from one side of your mouse pad to the other?
Iād say anything over 8k is on the high side. However, it completely depends on the heroes youāre playing. Main tanks might play better with high DPIs, whereas most hitscan DPS will want to be 4k or under.
Shadowburn at 3:25 head shotting everyone with widow, at 10k edpi.
SDB isnāt a Widow player, and you took a random clip of him getting headshots at an indeterminable sensitivity. I donāt want to strawman here, but it seems like youāre insinuating that because he happened to make a play one time at what was potentially high DPI, playing with high DPI on Widow is equal to or better than playing on lower DPI. Meanwhile, every other actual Widow player in the pro scene plays significantly lower because itās far more consistent and provides easier accuracy.
SDB plays with high sens because heās a projectile DPS main, and heās best known for his Genji and Pharah. Both of those tend to require higher DPI in order to play well (often around of 10k). Whether he uses such a high DPI for other heroes, especially hitscan heroes, is information I do not have.

Genjis right click is hitscan.
Haksal mains genji and tracer. Tracer is hitscan. 25k edpi
Geguri is known for her insane zarya tracking, which is hitscan. And she is 14k edpi.

They donāt. Pine plays at 7.5k edpi.
And Gleevac, one of the top 5 console widows, was playing widow at 9600 edpi when he switched to pc. with 35 scoped sens.

Iām not sure what to say about this one. I assume you mean that when youāre in range to use it, the travel time is negligible? In which case Iāll say, at that range, you need to be able to very quickly turn around, which is only easily done with high sens. For Genji, itās incredibly important to be able to make consistent 180Ā° turns, which is incredibly strenuous at lower sensitivities.
I canāt remember the last time Iāve ever seen Haksal on Tracer. He mains Genji, Pharah, and Brigitte primarily. Either way, thereās been huge debating over Tracer for the longest time whether you should use high sens or low. With high sens, you can make easier 180Ā° turns to trip up your target. However, lower sens advocates will assert that itās easier to track your targets in compensation for not being able to make those turns. She still functions at close range, similar to Genji, so being able to track onto heroes at point blank is one of the better reasons to use high DPI with her.
This oneās extremely similar to the Tracer situation. However, Zaryaās beam isnāt hitscan. Hitscan weapons are raycasts (if you happen to know how 3D computing works you can skip this), which means that they shoot a one-dimensional line out until it collides with a hitbox. Zaryaās primary fire is actually a cylinder hitbox, which grants more leeway when aiming. Additionally, it has a much closer range, so like Tracer or Genji, youāll usually be tracking close targets. This means that you need to make quick and large turns that canāt be done with very low DPS. Itās also nice to be able to easily flick to the general direction of an ally to provide bubble. As Iāve stated broadly but will now summarize, high sens is for quick acquisition and low sens is for consistency.
Pine is one of the few individuals who has a hitscan DPI on the higher side in the pro scene. However, itās in no way āinsanely high.ā The quote of mine is just hyperbole. Iām obviously not saying that literally every single OWL hitscan player plays at or below 4k. Such a claim would be ridiculous and Iām surprised I needed to point out my use of a rhetorical device here.
Iāve never heard of this player. I tried to search for them, but the best I found was some low plat Widow player.
Youāre not going to be able to wiggle your way out of this one. We have seen shadowburn playing hanzo, one of the most aim intensive heroes in the game, for 3 years now, at 10k edpi.
So I take it that youāve agreed with everything Iāve said? Iām personally not a fan of red herrings in place of actual refutes.
I donāt agree. You are trying to wiggle your way out of the fact that t500 and pro players have incredibly amazing aim with super high sens, by saying itās just because they play projectile or tank. Shadowburn plays one of the most aim intensive heroes in the game. Onetapman is a t500 soldier/mcree with 23k edpi. Zarya requires amazing aim. Tracer requires amazing aim. We have haksal up above on ashe, with gold elims, at 25k edpi.

Iād like you to find where I stated the opposite of literally any of these. Once again I donāt want to strawman, but it seems like youāre attempting to say that low DPI for mid to long range hitscan heroes is not inheritely better because a couple people manage to make high sens work for them. That would be known as the argumentative fallacy āhasty generalizationā in case you were curious or did not know. I would like to know exactly what your point is, because you donāt really seem to be disagreeing with anything Iāve said in particular. You stated that you donāt agree, but didnāt say what you donāt agree with or why.
