Player Reviews

Marcus Thompson Verified

Been using Faceit for CS2 competitive matches for 8 months now. Climbed from level 4 to level 8, matchmaking is way more balanced than MM. Anti-cheat actually works, maybe caught 2 suspicious players total.

Faceit rank system feels accurate - games are competitive at level 6. Queue times under 3 minutes usually. Premium worth it for the stats and 128 tick servers run smooth.

Switched from regular csgo matchmaking 4 weeks ago. The skill difference is noticeable - everyone communicates and plays objective. Got placed at level 5, already improved my game sense significantly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Faceit ranking system for CS2?
Faceit uses a 10-level ranking system (1-10) based on ELO points. New players start around level 3-4 after placement matches. Each win gains ELO, losses deduct points. Level 10 represents the top 1% of players. Your faceit rank updates after every match based on performance and opponent skill levels.
Is Faceit better than regular CS2 matchmaking?
Faceit offers several advantages - 128-tick servers for smoother gameplay, advanced anti-cheat with manual review system, skill-based matchmaking that's typically more balanced, and organized tournament structure. Most competitive players prefer faceit cs2 over standard matchmaking for serious practice.
How do I improve my Faceit rank quickly?
Focus on consistency rather than fragging. Win rounds through teamplay and communication. Play during peak hours for better matched teammates. Review your demos to identify mistakes. Aim for 1.0+ K/D and 70+ ADR. Playing with a regular team helps significantly since solo queue can be unpredictable at lower levels.
Does Faceit work with both CS2 and CSGO?
Yes, Faceit supports both Counter-Strike 2 and the legacy faceit csgo version. Most competitive players have transitioned to CS2, but CSGO queues remain active. Your faceit rank is separate between the two games, so you'll need to build ranking in each version independently.
Do I need premium subscription for Faceit?
Free Faceit accounts can play all competitive matches and earn rank progression. Premium adds features like advanced statistics, priority matchmaking, demo downloads, tournaments, and dedicated support. Many players start free to test the platform before upgrading.
How does Faceit anti-cheat compare to VAC?
Faceit's client-side anti-cheat is more intrusive than VAC, scanning active processes and memory. It catches more cheats but requires installation. Combined with server-side detection and manual demo reviews from Justice system, cheaters get banned faster than on official servers.
What are typical queue times on Faceit CS2?
Queue times vary by region and rank. NA/EU players at levels 4-8 typically wait 2-5 minutes during peak hours. Higher ranks (9-10) can take 8-15 minutes due to smaller player pool. Off-peak or lower populated regions may experience longer waits.
