@NertzCS @HeavyGodCS @alterCS @1juniorcs @Bezymeccc @laxieewastaken @saadzin_fps @insani @nowaycs2 @Snowzincs @dumaucs @HEN1 @brnz4n @Gratisfaction Oceania 🇦🇺 @sterl1ngcs returns to the #1 spot. Despite a 50 percent win rate over the past week, below his 59 percent monthly average, he has climbed back to the top by playing over six matches per day.

@NertzCS @HeavyGodCS @alterCS @1juniorcs @Bezymeccc @laxieewastaken @saadzin_fps @insani @nowaycs2 @Snowzincs @dumaucs @HEN1 @brnz4n South East Asia 🌏 Borosto jumps from #8 in the last update to #1 with a +255 Elo gain, creating some separation at the top, but every spot remains within reach with just a few wins.

FACEIT Season 7 Standings – Europe 🇪🇺 The battle for the #1 spot remains wide open, with each player just a few wins away from moving up. Qw1nk1 continues to lead but is still 226 Elo short of the CS2 record. The end of Season 7 is approaching on April 21.

@olofmeister @FACEIT That's the reaction we were hoping for!

That’s how you do a good April fools joke! Wp @FACEIT 🫡

With the current format, even teams from Open can grind their way to a spot in @ESLCS Challenger League. These teams fought their way through and secured wildcard invites. Only 23 hours left to sign up for Season 57.

Over 8 years, @xKacpersky has played 11,500+ FACEIT matches, averaging 3.71 games per day. From reaching Level 10 at just 13, to breaking into the Top 10 in Season 7 and competing at the Major, his journey is a testament to the dedication it takes to earn a place on a pro team.

@FACEITcs 472 bans in 8 months is nothing to be proud of

@Lone_Wolf_SOL We’ve only included maps that have an official CS2 version from their original creators. Some popular maps, like Cobblestone, currently exist as community-made ports rather than official releases.

@FACEITcs Old cobblestone wen

The FACEIT map pool will expand to 8 maps, starting Season 8 on April 22. The 1,000 highest Elo players have created a shortlist, now it's your turn to decide which map joins the rotation. Elo is enabled & the map is optional for all players. Link below to vote.

@yezhi6699 There are currently no plans to remove Dust2 from the map pool

@FACEITcs Will Dust2 be removed from the map pool? It feels like everyone's strategy has been figured out, and no matter how you play, it's all formulaic.

@FACEITcs @FACEIT how to vote

@Alternativworl We will display "last known" in the profile until placement matches are complete.

@FACEITcs What if you don’t play in the new season, will you have the same elo as previous season or will your elo disappear until placements are played?

When Season 8 launches on April 22, every player will play 10 placement matches to determine their new Elo. Watch the video to see what this means for your grind.

@wildlevi2 @UEenjoyer The queue will be based on your soft reset/calibrating Elo, which is based on your Elo from Season 7. So after the reset, you should be playing with/against players roughly around the range you did before.

@FACEITcs @UEenjoyer so all you did was make it so that low levels can get stomped on by higher levels during the first week of scramble to get rank back (further hurting low climbers ELO) good to know you care so little about the low ranking people

@errorito7 @S1Braw You do not have to play solo

@FACEITcs @S1Braw We must play solo or we can team ?

@wdskyyy Voting closes on April 15 at 17:00 CEST.

@FACEITcs When are you going to release results of the vote? Sorry if somebody already asked, too many comments to go through!

@SmokeyHit Which one?!

@FACEITcs Are you guys seriously asking for this? Just add it!
