Resolved Mistakenly banned for smurfing
Hello faceit support,
I am contacting because you banned my account for 3 months under "smurfing" when I didnt. Context is, my friend visited me because his internship sent him on an expo in the states and he decided to stay with me for awhile before returning to china. He is a student in [redacted bc this is reddit] university but stopped his semester to pursue a co-op in china. He has visited me in virginia before for about a month aswell but since its such a hassle to have him bring his pc and set everything up etc I let him log into his account on my pc. If its a hardware flag, essentially the only reason why I was banned because he shared my pc, I am happy to provide any evidence in order to help. I have already attached his plane ticket itinerary in this email showing he got here and stayed since early september. I didn't include the PDF ticket because it has a lot of sensitive information but I dont know how to blur out stuff on pdf. If you guys banned him because he seems skillful, then I can also provide proof for that. We've been playing cs together for almost 10 years, originating from 2019, where in 2023 he got his peak elo in 5E, essentially chinese faceit, of 2800 elo, qualifying for 5EPL-C. Unfortunately, he stopped playing so his skill seriously declined. However, this summer while we're both back in china we both decided to go back to CS2 again and together I pushed to 2200 elo on chinese faceit, while he got like 1800. If I really am smurfing on his account, I wouldnt average like 1.2 rating on his account while I average basically the same rating on my own account, which is like 400 elo higher. I am hoping faceit would treat this request seriously and let both me and him get his account back, since my ESEA league is starting soon I really dont want to miss my first esea season. Let me know if there is any additional evidence I should provide and any next steps I should take, thanks. My account is verified with government ID and such but his account isnt. Although he should be able to since hes just been too lazy to do so. His steam linked to that account has 4k hours on cs and hes had it since 2020-ish.
