Hello everyone,
As I am concerned about the current and future state of ESEA leagues and particularly the ESEA ADVANCED, I had to write this open letter to Faceit to bring attention to the issues affecting players and teams.
I'm going to bring together all the problems that we are currently encountering on the platform.
- Until now, ESEA Advanced has offered young players and teams the chance to dream of reaching the highest level of counter strike. However, since the discovery that the playoffs no longer award VALVE ranking points, it would appear that many players and teams may be losing interest in playing.
- The lack of clear, fluid and consistent communication between ESEA Admin and players is making this situation catastrophic, given the impossibility of planning ahead (we find out the day the bracket is posted that we'll be playing teams from the division above : ECL, or the fact that the event won't be VALVE RANKED via HLTV and not by the ESEA team the day before our match).
- Several teams who qualified for the ECL Challenger during the ESEA ADVANCED 52 season were able to take part in the ESEA ADVANCED 53 season while waiting for the start of the next ECL Challenger season. These same teams therefore had to face other opponents who were fighting to reach the playoffs when they themselves had nothing left to play for, thus distorting any form of competition.To conclude on this subject, these teams occupy 4 of the 8 slots originally allocated to teams from the ESEA Advanced (via direct qualification or relegation).
- As a coach, I feel obliged to address the subject of the slot coach, which makes our involvement even more difficult than it already is. When we see that many other competitions already offer this feature, how is it possible that an institution like Faceit is not up to date after more than a year and a half since the release of the game?
- One last subject, and perhaps the most important. We realise that some players have just been banned from the platform after completing a full season. How can we be sure of the integrity of all the players when they themselves can cheat for a whole season with little or no punishment? I'm convinced that the recently banned players are unfortunately not the only ones who cheat without being punished. And that's without getting into the subject of match fixing, which unfortunately seems to be more prevalent than ever.
In the end, all we want is to be able to dream and take part in the biggest Counter Strike competitions. Without the support of the ESEA leagues, many of us would simply never have made it and we want to be able to make our dreams come true. To do this, please ensure that at least the playoffs award VALVE ranking points so that some teams can join the rankings and continue to compete.
I urge Faceit to address these issues with urgency and to restore confidence in ESEA.
Sincerely;
Junior, @GenOneEsports Coach
