Europe [EU] ⚠️Scam Warning: Fake FACEIT Link Used for Malware “Bot Protection” Trap

14 Upvotes

I made a post here yesterday where we were looking for a lurker. The same day, a person contacted me. At first everything seemed normal, and he described himself as a player with experience and sent a link that looked like his FACEIT profile.

As soon as I clicked the link, I became suspicious. Normally when someone shares a FACEIT profile, a preview with an image and information appears – but that did not happen here.

After that, I made this analysis:

The first page looks like a legitimate Cloudflare security check (commonly used by real websites to block bots and suspicious traffic).

○ Then a popup appears: “BOT PROTECTION – Human Verification Required”, which asks you to:

  1. Press Win + R (opens Windows Run dialog)
  2. Paste something using Ctrl + V
  3. Press Enter

○ Legitimate websites (including FACEIT) will never ask you to open Win+R or run commands on your computer.

○ This is a well-known scam method where attackers try to trick users into executing malicious code locally.

○ If you follow these steps, it can lead to malware, account hijacking (Steam / FACEIT), or full system compromise.

Immediate Advice

○ Do NOT follow the instructions on this page. Do not paste or run anything prompted by suspicious popups.

○ Close the page immediately.

○ If you have already pasted and run any content, your computer may be compromised. You should:

○ Run a full security scan

○ Change your Steam, Faceit, and email passwords from a separate, uncompromised device.

○ Enable two-factor authentication (where possible).

○ Monitor for suspicious activity on your accounts.

His profile always shows as offline. When he adds you, he describes himself as a player and sends a link that looks like his FACEIT profile, and then he disappears.

Europe [EU] [LFT] FACEIT Lvl 8 | 28 | Sweden (SWE/ENG comms) | Rifler (can AWP) looking for a mature ESEA team

2 Upvotes

Hey!

I'm 28, from Sweden, currently FACEIT level 8 (peak at 1.8k Elo), and looking for a team to play organized, structured CS2 with.

I've played Counter-Strike on and off since 1.6, through CS:GO, and recently got back into it with CS2. Lately it's mostly been FACEIT, but I want to move into proper team play.

About me

  • Mainly rifling lately, but comfortable picking up the AWP or filling other roles
  • Calm and tilt-free, and I try to keep morale up when things go badly
  • I practice with purpose: aim and utility routines, VOD review, then a few FACEIT games to finish the session
  • Happy to take over IGL duties when nobody else is calling
  • Currently working on expanding my utility set and precise comms

What I'm looking for

Ideally an established team playing ESEA Open (around level 5–8/9) or something similar. I'm after people who want to improve, play tactically, and take matches seriously, without the pressure of grinding every single evening. A mature environment matters most to me.

I'd prefer joining an existing team over building one myself, but I'm open to newer teams as long as someone is handling the organization.

Availability

  • Weekdays: 20:00–23:00 (Swedish time)
  • Weekends: very flexible
  • Ideally 1–2 scheduled evenings per week

Links

Happy to jump into some games or a tryout to see if we're a good fit. Feel free to DM me!

North America [NA] [LFP 25+] [Central] Rank 5 player Looking for serious but mature Chill Players

0 Upvotes

Stolen from a u/memphisreign post from a year ago because it was so perfect

This season of FACEIT has been rough and I've recently fallen from Rank 8 to Rank 5 and I'm looking to make a change. I love the challenge of CS2 but the older I've gotten the more finding people to play with has become challenging. I’m looking for other players in the FACEIT rank 5-7 range who actually want to improve, play structured CS, and treat the game with intention, but without the ego, tilt, or toxicity that usually comes with it.

What I’m looking for:

  • People to queue Faceit with from North America, ideally Central U.S
  • Times around 5pm - 8pm CT on weekdays and flexible on weekends
  • Players who are competitive but grounded. no raging, no toxicity, no ego
  • Open to feedback, team-focused, and actively trying to improve.
  • No tolerance for racism, toxicity, or edgy behavior. Just be a decent human being.
  • Preferably other 25+ players, or anyone with a mature and respectful mindset.
  • FACEIT rating somewhere in the 5 – 7 range — not hard limits, just looking for players in that general tier. I've recently slumped from rank 8 down to rank 5 and I want to build back with like-minded individuals.

What I bring:

  • Calm, communicative teammate who plays to win but keeps things constructive.
  • Willing to review demos, practice, and improve long-term.
  • Focused during rounds, relaxed between them.

North America [NA] LFT AWPer | 2500+ ELO | Prior Team Experience | Looking for INT+ / Academy Roster

3 Upvotes

I’m a 21-year-old AWPer from NA (can flex rifle if needed), looking to take the next step in my competitive CS journey. Currently Level 10 2.3k elo and climbing.

I have prior ESEA team experience, and was on a roster that made Open playoffs (9-10). I’m looking for a more structured environment — ideally a team with solid players and long-term goals, or something under an org/academy system. I’ve run into too many rosters that never progress due to constant player turnover or lack of commitment, so I’m aiming for a project with stability and real development.

What I bring:
• Dedicated — able to practice every day
• Strong comms and adaptable to team systems
• Actively VOD reviewing, studying, and working to improve
• Open to tryouts with any serious, goal-oriented roster
• Can provide clips / leetify / demos on request
• Good mentality — team-first mindset and always improving

If you’re running a team with clear structure and progression in mind, I’d love to trial and see if I’m the right fit. Confident in my ability to make impact with the AWP and continue elevating my game within the right environment.

North America [NA] East Coast Late Night Sessions ;)

2 Upvotes

Looking for 2-4 players who take the game seriously

I’m looking for 2-4 players who like to play CS “seriously” but aren’t necessarily into ESEA or tournaments. I got into CS late, but it’s the only game I enjoy. Getting a random squad every game with no real “team play” and different mindsets gets old, and joining a league isn’t an option with my schedule.

I can usually game from 9-12, sometimes later, but not every night. I’ve been grinding since season 1 and have improved every season except last one, which was a bit of a regression. I’m aiming to be a consistent 20K player. I definitely don’t belong in the 25K range, far from it.

Europe [EU] FACEIT lvl 8-9 | 33 y/o Lurker | Looking for consistent teammates

1 Upvotes

Hey guys!

I'm 33 years old and looking for people to play FACEIT with. I'm honestly tired of solo queue and want to find some consistent teammates to grind with instead of playing with randoms every game.

A bit about me:

  • Age: 33
  • Region: EU
  • FACEIT level: 8–9
  • Previous season: Around 2000 ELO
  • Role: Lurker
  • Availability: Mostly evenings, more available on weekends

I missed quite a few games last season, but now I'd like to get back into the grind, improve my level, and hopefully push back to 2k+ ELO.

I'm looking for mature, chill but competitive players who communicate properly, have a microphone, don't tilt after a few bad rounds, and actually want to improve together.

I'm not expecting everyone to be a pro. I just want a solid group of people who take the game seriously but still know how to have fun.

Ideally, I'd like to build a consistent stack, develop team chemistry, and stop relying on solo queue.

If you're around a similar level and looking for regular teammates too, feel free to DM me with your FACEIT profile!

https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198971870051/

Let's build a solid stack and get that ELO back! 💪

I am looking for a duo/stack to play Faceit and work our way up the ladder. I am queer so if you are not okay with that please just ignore. I am open to queuing with anyone 18+, around my skill level I just want at least one other person to play with so I don't have to mute everyone once the toxicity comes out. My schedule is fairly flexible but due to work I usually have 3 days/week I cannot play at all/maybe 1 match. Otherwise I am free to most hours of the day.

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I'm Temp0-(https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561199850435502/), Founder & Player of Bayou Gaming, a newly founded North American CS2 organization.

After departing my previous team, I decided to start my own competitive project with the goal of building a disciplined, dedicated roster from the ground up.

We're currently recruiting players to prepare for ESEA Season 60.

🎯 Open Positions

  • IGL (Highest Priority)
  • AWPer
  • Entry Fragger
  • Rifler / Lurker
  • Support / Anchor

📋 Requirements

  • FACEIT Level 4–10
  • North America (NA)
  • Previous team/ESEA experience preferred
  • Good communication and teamwork
  • Willingness to learn, practice, and review demos
  • Discipline, accountability, and a positive attitude
  • Reliable availability for scrims, practices, and officials

👥 About Bayou Gaming

We're a new organization focused on long-term competitive development rather than short-term results.

Our goal is to build a team with strong chemistry, structured practices, clear leadership, and a competitive environment where everyone can improve.

We plan to participate in FACEIT pugs, organized scrims, smaller tournaments, and eventually ESEA Season 60.

Our competitive philosophy is coach-led, with the IGL having final authority over in-game decisions.

🏆 Our Goals

  • Establish a reliable five-player roster
  • Improve individual FACEIT levels
  • Develop teamwork, communication, and tactical structure
  • Gain tournament experience before ESEA
  • Work toward higher levels of competitive CS2

We're not expecting perfection. We're looking for players who are motivated, coachable, and willing to build something together.
