Congratulations to Legacy on being back-to-back CAC champions.
At 15, @lattofps grinded to FACEIT level 10 in under 100 matches in two weeks. Now he's MVP and taking home his share of $150,000, again.
Exciting to see the next wave of Brazilian talent coming through.

Check your corners.
Since Cache returned in Season 8, FACEIT kill/death data shows the highest concentration of engagements at the B site entrance and forklift/NBK on A.
Which spot do you hold?

@DamDamas33 @FACEITcs Hello, do you mind helping me understand what the lie is in this post, please.
English
In Season 7, we issued 47,472 smurf bans (+42% vs S6).
76,750 accounts were flagged for selfie rechecks, 29,346 failed and lost access to matchmaking.
This week, another 13,000 accounts were flagged for selfie rechecks, with AC now required to link verification to a device.

@huwkayyy @FACEITcs More information about selfie re-checks as a method to disrupt smurfs and account sales is available here: support.faceit.com/hc/en-us/artic…

@kingsblend4 Make a ticket please and we can work through it with you.

@Aluminaticsgo They still owe us $600 when we win open lol! Leader didn’t have an ID to request the $$ lmfao.

I remember working in ESEA prizes back then.
Emailed a younger winner asking if they wanted their winnings via PayPal or a check.
Their reply: "check what?"

Found this check from 2016, from winning CS:GO ESEA premier. This was the step up to pro league actual ancient relic.

We do not use demo reviews as we cannot guarantee any degree of accuracy using that technique.
Many good players today were accused early in their careers using demos and short clips that lack context e.g. discord communication, trends with that specific opponent, etc. Banning players based on intuition and feel rather than hard evidence cannot be the way for the biggest third party platform as we would be ending players careers due to the opportunities available at high Elo, league, and qualifiers that they would be banned from. It also scales poorly with the number of players on the platform.

AI cheats are the most-banned cheat category, with detections up 272% in Season 7 (372 total bans).
Meanwhile, DMA-related bans dropped by 4%. IOMMU/VBS hardware enforcement now covers 88% of players, helping block how DMA cheats read game files.
English
Definitely. We would never want a player to be deliberately ignored. I haven't seen the chat logs myself but knowing the staff involved and how much they care about the scene then I would assume something has been lost e.g. while they were on holiday, illness, accidentally dismissed the notification, etc rather than any negative intent. After all, h4rn isn't going to stop asking about it so this would always eventually catch up with them and they would have to sort it out.
English
@Aluminaticsgo @CS2Universe If the payment was unfortunately lost, isnt the best option to keep in contact and not ghost the customer? Him claiming he got "ghosted" is insane and could hurt your reputation unless there are SS to prove he actually got ghosted or not.

Pro player h4rn claims that FACEIT have failed to pay-out prize money and have stopped responding to him
English
I have full faith that we would have resolved it. We have been awarding hundreds of thousands of dollars in prizes to thousands of players each year for decades. In complex processes, things unfortunately can get lost if they are outside the norm. E.g. here the staff member may have multiple discord conversations, they contact our finance team, who contact the bank but don't hear back instantly so ultimately we need to follow up.
However, even if you feel we are horrible people only interested in money, please ask yourself why would not paying this specific $7,500 and losing trust in the highest skill level community (and therefore subscriptions) be in our interest?
English
@Aluminaticsgo @CS2Universe would u guys respond if his post wasnt made public? He got ghosted then suddenly yall respond once he made a public statement... how convenient.
English
Our team made the payment to the bank account that h4rn originally provided. The account is not in his name therefore the payment went through rather than bouncing because it is an open account. We are currently in touch with both him and the bank to try and reverse the payment and resend to his own account.
The team posted more detail replying to him here

Yeah this guys are going bankrupt soon and will exit scam everyone,just wait and see. Imagine making 50 mil. $ per year and having total monopoly and still losing money and struggle to secure profits, how can you be this dumb 💀

@AimbotKeegan I haven't handled anything to do with payments in years but the FPL team is aware and in contact with h4rn below.

With regards to sick, I haven't followed his career so I didn't know that. I just recognised the ESEA check branding.
Tanner Stark@StarkTan
We're currently looking into this and working reverting the original payment so that it can be processed again to the right account. When the payment was processed in April, it was sent to the banking details h4rn originally provided. Those details belong to an active bank account, but one registered to a different person that h4rn does not have access to, which is why the payment did not bounce back. Our team has been in contact with h4rn in DMs and separately to the bank to recover the funds to try and resend to the account he most recently provided.

pag h4rn, vox, etc their money instead of qrting pedophile rapists mayb?

@Aluminaticsgo @FACEITcs @FACEIT Appreciate your transparency Alex, would you mind sharing in the future the amount of reiteration for the concerned players ?
The % amount of them banned for cheats (all) that attemp to try again (obviously some will suceed and won't be caught) - out of curiosity
English
@Sheutaaa @FACEITcs @FACEIT The intention here isn't to be a social media flex. It's to try and share and be as transparent as we can be as the community routinely call for more information about what we are doing about the biggest challenges for online gaming, e.g. cheats, smurfing, and toxicity.
English
@Poggitlls @valvesoftware Glad you appreciate the transparency. We are trying to share more where possible without giving any details that could be used against us.
English
No sé si es mucho o no teniendo en cuenta la base de jugadores de faceit.. pero que copado que los tipos al menos publiquen cuando banean a alguien.. @valvesoftware te la sabes a esa?

@Bil1333337 Yeah, depending where you are from it can be either spelling.

@Aluminaticsgo Now I wanna go find my Season 11 check. I have it somewhere lol
English
We appreciate it's not easy for players to move with a variety of different setups. However, with FACEITs volume of qualifiers, prize money, and reputation available from grinding high Elo then we want to eventually move the full community to these requirements to create additional layers that disrupt cheaters.

@lepajeecs @FACEITcs You can run through the ban list and look at the accounts yourself here
