@DonFellany @FACEITcs Our director of integrity posted both about the status of anti-cheat development and how Premium is not considered a factor for bans here: reddit.com/r/FACEITcom/co…

@FACEITcs What bug? That bug that both VAC and FACEIT AC cant detect cheaters and the Faceit admins hold their hands over those cheaters whore premium?

We have restored Elo to all 29,720 players who had their matches affected by this week’s mouse movement bug. Happy weekend grind.

The Season 9 reset will be lighter and closer to the Season 7 reset, which mainly targeted the top players on the platform. Season 8 was the heaviest soft reset we've done. While we will still have big resets like that in the future when they benefit the ecosystem, we do not need one of that size every few months. We will be sharing more details and additional changes next week to the reset for Season 9.

@t3tuan @stunna Well remembered youtube.com/watch?v=GumUWc…

@stunna Is this the event where TaZ ran around hugging people without a shirt?

2014 vs 2018 #ESLProLeague

karrigan has played alongside teammates born as far apart as 1986 and 2008. His 21-year career spanned the explosion of esports: from passionate community events into stadiums of screaming fans and million-dollar prize pools.

From July 6, Overpass is leaving the queue and will no longer be available in Matchmaking. Cache joins the competitive pool in its place and will count toward the minimum maps required in your queue settings.

@Snakedrake_CS @FACEITcs If the volume of matches is significantly higher then it will be much harder to match with someone deliberately during off peak hours.

@Aluminaticsgo @FACEITcs Also nothing stoping people from EU from “exploiting” this either

A Cache only queue is available to play in EU with lower stakes at ±5 Elo per match. This event is available until July 8 to help players practice the updated map as the new Premier season begins.

It's not about trust and more about not creating a scenario that makes negative outcomes more likely. For example, our CSTVs run with 90s delay so that a friend watching them can't provide information about the round. It's not that we "don't trust" teams but that we can avoid setting a scenario to be exploited.

@Aluminaticsgo @FACEITcs So you don’t trust NA?

@IDarkShooter @FACEITcs Was this in the cache only queue or you queued FACEIT normally and just happened to get cache as the match? Do you have a link to the game please

@FACEITcs I just played a round and got +23 instead of +5 lol

@apishdadi @FACEITcs In smaller regions the lower liquidity increases the risk of match fixing.

@FACEITcs why only EU??

@Snakedrake_CS @FACEITcs The queue requires a healthy liquidity to avoid the risk of win trading.

@FACEITcs @Aluminaticsgo Why only in EU?

@ds69938688 This is a few years old I think if NBK and others are signed there so may predate donk being at these events.

@Aluminaticsgo Where is donk?

Always cool to see little artifacts of CS history when visiting the FACEIT office. PC signed by apEX, GeT_RiGhT, Bardolph, and more

Create highlight clips from rounds on FACEIT without downloading a demo. Open the match page, head to Match Insights, pick your round, and generate it for 1 token.

@osrs_pot IIRC karrigans ex-fnatic teammate friis outgrinded him for first

@Aluminaticsgo >karrigan didn't send because they got 2nd Based

A decade ago, karrigan offered to buy a teenage Magisk a gaming chair if Magisk helped him win a PUG leaderboard. Four Major championships later, Magisk is the new IGL at BC.Game, lining up next to s1mple. Excited to see if he can take them to the highest level.

We're BACK. 🇧🇷 Today we're happy to announce that the Intel® Extreme Masters will return to the Brasil in 2027! The #IEM event in Brasil will be a part of the more than $11,450,000 allocated for teams and players in the 2027 edition of #ESLProTour!

donk hit #1 Elo across 5 separate seasons. When people think grinding FACEIT, they think donk. But kyousuke's record is also incredible. 2nd twice, 7th twice, Top 100 every single season. Now, he's rank 15th after playing FACEIT almost every single day of the Major.

magixx's 1v4 is even more impressive with the context that it's not a spot anyone ever practices. Looking across his 800+ FACEIT mirage games, there are barely any kills there compared to hotspots like mid, ramp, or apps. Takes serious confidence to hold that angle in OT of a Major.

8 years before the $1.25M IEM Cologne Major, TeSeS beat YEKINDAR in tier-3 ESEA Advanced before going on to win $580. Two future Major finalists, taking their first steps in amateur competition.
