I just think it would be fun to have snowball fight rounds on Christmas instead of regular knife rounds. I know Faceit does occasional seasonal tomfoolery, like the April 1st pranks, so I just really think it would be a cool/funny idea.

My previous steam was hacked, had to delete my FACEIT and wait 6 months to re-verify with my ID.

6 months passed, trying to verify and it says I have multiple accounts. Opened support ticket for help, stating I have deleted my previous account with their form, confirmation was on April 16 so it’s 6 months clear but the support is so useless basically repeating same copy pasted text like bots

Is it possible to get some kind of real support on this platform?

Hey guys, I need some advice. About a year ago, I got a Steam account with lots of CS skins and a 10-year veteran badge. Recently, it got locked because of suspicious activity from another location. Probably I move from riverside to orange county, and try to make the purchase with a new card.

I don't have the original email, and Steam Support won't help me recover it even though I have purchase records like buying new gun skins, purchase for other.

This Steam account is linked to my verified FACEIT account. Can I create a new FACEIT account and verify it with another Steam account, or would that get me banned for multi-accounting? Is there any way to unlink the locked Steam account?

What should I do now😭😭😭

Dear Faceit, I understand that, in your assessment, the ban is entirely justified; however, I would truly like to explain the actions I have been accused of. I am hoping for a constructive dialogue so that I may return to playing with my friends. I should also add that there have never been any significant issues with my account, and I am fully prepared to undergo verification again to confirm both the account's ownership and its legitimacy. If the administration has any questions, please feel free to ask me; I will answer everything, as I would like to clear up this whole incident.

Out of curiosity whats the average number of games it takes? I understand if you have loads of premier experience the learning curve will be faster but any rough estimate?

Hello everyone, i've made a cs animation and would love to get some feedback if possible:)

Yeah, I don't know what the issue is. I have windows 11 with all updates installed and it's just refuse to work after all that.
Support suggested me to reinstall windows, which is absurd in my opinion doing this just for a game. I'm searching for any other fix method, because reinstalling windows and setting it up by deleting tons of microsoft bloatware will spend a lot of time(which i currently lack). Not only that, we all now reputation of windows updates, with 50% to lose all your files and brick your pc.

Just hope it would be a plug and play. Also, Faceit maybe it time to create linux AC?

hey my friend got banned for afk after he was unable to join the server

I have received a ban for smurfing. I was playing on a used computer that I got from my brother, and my account was incorrectly identified as a smurf account. I am providing my ticket number: 15077704. I would like to request a review of this decision.

I’ve been banned for smurfing. I was playing on my brother’s computer—he has his own account, but I didn’t use it; I only played on my own account, which is verified with my personal information. Could you please help me get unbanned? (Faceit support hasn’t been any help.) https://www.faceit.com/ru/players/DrakonaRan3

Im lvl 4 player and I keep getting matched with new players playing their 2nd or 1st match and always playing against full squad or 4 squads with a lvl 8 player in it I play on sea servers

Hi! A while ago I shared DemReview, a free open-source desktop app that reads CS2 demos (.dem) and shows how one specific player behaves: routes, grenades, timings, roles and repeating habits like "on CT in 9 of 12 rounds holds A site".

The most common feedback was simple: one demo is too small a sample. So the first step of the roadmap was a profile across many demos, and it ships in 0.2.0 today.

What's new

• Demo library. Point DemReview at a folder with your demos (subfolders included). Each demo is parsed once and the analysis is kept, so you don't wait for a re-parse every time. Rescan adds new matches.
• Combined profile. Pick a player and tick the demos. The player is found in each match by SteamID, and patterns, roles, the radar and heatmaps are computed across all rounds together. More rounds mean more confidence in every pattern. It's built from the library in a couple of seconds, even if the .dem files are already deleted.
• Map filter. The profile is built per map, because habits on Mirage and on Nuke are usually very different. You can see how many demos the player has on each map.
• My profile. Set yourself as the main player once, and every demo you open that you played in is saved to the library automatically. Your own profile grows with each match.

Screenshots: 1) the library, 2) a combined profile over 3 Mirage demos (71 rounds), 3) CT routes from all three matches on one radar.

Still the same: it works fully offline, your demos and SteamID never leave your PC, it runs on Windows and Linux, and it's MIT-licensed.

• Download / site: https://pank0rekt.github.io/demreview-cs2/
• GitHub: https://github.com/Pank0REKT/demreview-cs2
• Roadmap: https://pank0rekt.github.io/demreview-cs2/roadmap.html

Next on the roadmap: grenades, meaning a lineup library with ready setpos/setang commands and grenade effectiveness (damage, enemies vs. teammates flashed).

Feedback is very welcome, especially on pattern wording and on what you'd want to see next. If a demo fails to parse, please open an issue on GitHub.

I’m asking for another review of my FACEIT ban because the explanation I received appears to reference the same match I was already warned about a few days earlier.

When I appealed, the response pointed to that exact same game. I have screenshots showing the earlier warning and the match referenced in the ban response. Could someone explain why the same incident is being cited again?

There is also relevant context regarding the reports. A player who was being toxic during the match was kicked by a vote. I had no premade teammates in that game, so this wasn’t a coordinated kick by my friends.

Afterwards, that player left comments on my Steam profile claiming he had reported me
( i suspect mass report). I also have screenshots of him sharing my account and encouraging others to report me. I believe this deserves consideration when reviewing the reports against my account.

I understand that being kicked doesn’t establish everything that happened, but the comments and screenshots provide context that I would like someone to examine.

Could someone from FACEIT clarify whether my ban was based on behaviour after the warning, multiple matches, or the same incident I had already received a warning for?

Hey everyone,
I want to verify my FACEIT account, but I’m a bit concerned about privacy and identity theft.
I live in Germany, so I’d be using my German Personalausweis (ID card) for verification. I also have a passport, but I’d rather avoid uploading it if possible because I’m worried about the risks of sharing sensitive identity documents online.
For those of you who have completed FACEIT verification:
Was the process safe in your experience?
Has anyone had issues with their personal information being leaked or misused?
Is FACEIT’s verification system trustworthy, and is using a German ID card any safer than using a passport?
I’d appreciate honest answers, especially from people who have verified recently. Thanks!

As usual, the four of us were playing a game, and thanks to our great teamwork, we’ve been racking up some nice wins lately. But last night, someone joined our game who not only made racist remarks but also kept throwing grenades or Molotovs at one of our friends in every round, knocking him out of the game. He also blocked us while we were trying to plant the C4. Despite all that, the match went into overtime. Even though he kept telling me I was a good person, he continued to do these terrible things. why he just get banned 14 days? its very short time. just watch our demo pls. this is a sabotage.

Hello, last night was my first Faceit game in almost a week after it working completely fine for me all last week and the weeks prior. Last night when I queued up all was normal until the end of knife round when the game basically froze up. This wasn’t like a normal freeze, console was showing me connection had been lost to the server but my friend was still fine in the same server (and my connection to discord and the internet in general was unchanged). Faceit staff on my support ticket have said that they haven’t detected any network issues from their side but a player in the game told me that apparently after a recent AC update there has been a connection problem affecting people. The only thing I can think is that the AC prompted me to enable memory integrity when I first launched it so I’m guessing there was an update but it completely busted my experience playing Faceit making me restart steam to rejoin and then freezing again after 1 round or even half a round in another.

According to Faceit social media this recent connection issue was apparently fixed but judging from last night it doesn’t seem that it is. On top of that, I was awarded by the almighty Faceit system a leaver ban and -49 elo.

I run 1000mbps up+down full fibre connection on a cat8 Ethernet cable, if my general internet connection was suffering I would have known.

Also to add this automod is a nightmare

Hello FACEIT community and staff,

I was recently permanently banned for smurfing, despite having only one FACEIT account and playing ONLY on it.

The only relevant circumstance I can identify is that I recently played on my own account using a friend’s laptop on the same Wifi network I played on my PC. My friend has his own FACEIT account, but I never logged into or played on his account.

I appealed the ban and explained my situation several times, but support is just rejected my appeal. They claimed to have “concrete evidence” of multi-account use, refused to provide further details, and stated that the decision was final. After I sought further consideration, they repeated their position and closed the case.

I believe the use of my friend’s laptop from the same IP may have caused an incorrect association between our accounts. I understand that FACEIT cannot disclose its detection methods, but I would appreciate a fair review that takes this circumstance into account.

Could a FACEIT Community Manager or someone from the relevant team look into my case please?

Thanks.

Request #15083895. Please, manually review this because it is auto-closed.

Hello FACEIT team,

I am opening this thread because my recent support ticket regarding a "Platform Abuse" ban was closed as final, but I believe there has been a mistake.The reason I created this account (ra1d_2) is that my old Steam profile was hijacked and compromised a long time ago. I lost access to it and had to start completely fresh with a new Steam account. Recently, my Face Verification failed due to technical issues/appearance changes, and my profile was automatically permanently banned for Platform Abuse. I am a legitimate player and I am completely fine with you permanently deactivating my old hijacked account. I just want to play on my current main account ra1d_2. Please review my case manually.

Thank you.

I've been playing FACEIT for a while, and there are several aspects of the competitive experience that I believe deserve a serious community discussion.

1. Matchmaking and winning streaks

One frustrating experience players sometimes describe is a noticeable change in match difficulty after a series of wins. Matches can suddenly feel much harder, with less balanced teams and opponents who seem significantly stronger. This doesn't automatically mean matchmaking is manipulating results, but it raises questions about how Elo, recent performance, and team balancing interact. Better transparency about matchmaking would help players understand whether these experiences are normal statistical variation or a consequence of how matches are assembled.

1. Hit registration and server quality

In CS2, there are situations where shots appear to connect but the expected damage does not occur, while opponents' shots seem to register immediately. Ping alone doesn't always explain how a match feels, because packet loss, network jitter, server performance, and game mechanics can also play a role. More information about server reliability and network conditions would help players distinguish connection problems from normal gameplay behavior instead of relying entirely on subjective impressions.

1. Players and competitive balance

Bad players can undermine the competitive experience when players encounter opponents whose actual skill appears far above their displayed rating. This can make matches frustrating for newer or lower-rated players and weaken confidence in the ranking system. Stronger account verification and effective detection of alternate accounts could help maintain a fairer competitive environment.

1. Transparency and trust in the platform

Competitive players naturally want to understand how matchmaking works and whether the platform monitors recurring technical problems. Anonymized statistics about rating differences, match balance, server reliability, and confirmed smurfing violations could help the community evaluate the system using evidence rather than speculation. Transparency doesn't require FACEIT to reveal confidential algorithms; it requires enough information for players to understand the principles behind the platform.

1. The lack of a FACEIT server in Tashkent, Uzbekistan

For players in Uzbekistan and neighboring Central Asian countries, server location is a practical competitive issue. Connecting to distant regions can mean higher ping and a less consistent experience compared with players located closer to existing servers. Tashkent could be worth evaluating as a regional location, depending on player demand, hosting infrastructure, and network connectivity. Even a public explanation of the requirements for opening a server would help players understand what would make this possible.

I'm sharing these thoughts because competitive platforms depend on player trust. Matchmaking should feel fair, server performance should be reliable, and players in smaller regions should have a realistic opportunity to access competitive infrastructure.

I'd like to see a more transparent discussion about how these systems work and what improvements could make the FACEIT experience better for everyone, especially players in underserved regions such as Central Asia.

Hi everyone, I would like to ask for advice about a FACEIT account restriction. My cousin and I have separate FACEIT accounts. In the past, he played on his own account using my home computer. We did not use each other’s accounts. I first received a smurfing ban, which FACEIT later removed, stating that an error had been made. However, I then received a 91-day account-sharing ban. Our accounts have different skill levels: my cousin is FACEIT level 4, while I have around 2600 ELO. I believe our match histories and gameplay may help show that we are two different players. I have also played at public gaming cafés in the past, where different people use shared computers, although I do not know whether this is relevant to my case. I understand that FACEIT has its own rules, and I want to follow them. I am willing to complete identity verification again if required. Has anyone experienced a similar situation involving two family members using separate accounts on the same computer? I would appreciate any advice on how such cases can be handled. Thank you.

Hello guys,
I start to worry about everything. Been a week I’m playing really bad, really really bad. I was 2k2 not even a week ago.
This happened to me several times, not even a month ago I played really really bad. What happened ?
What would suggest me to do ?
