The Truth Behind Faceit's Player Count

Very happy to have you back posting regularly Jeff, you're a breath of fresh air and also entertaining and interesting :)

3td party matchmaking services existed as early as cs 1.0

Clanbase
Esea
Espl
Cal
And plenty others

skinsmonkey is worse than gambling

I tried CS again for the first time in years, 5 hackers on the other team... Straight back to Valorant I went..

Would love you to upload consistently, if telling a story about faceit will facilitate it then let's go.

bro my dad knows shit, stop mentioning him HAHAHAH

How many new accs playin on faceit?

We need to separate CS into generations. I’m first gen, started playing in 1.3 and it was even different still from GO. And people don’t even talk about CS Source anymore.

I let in on a secret. 50% of those players are hackers boosting e accounts to sell them ( at low rank)

Your welcome

I like this type of video from you, A+

MM/Premier: Play against cheaters
Faceit: Play against smurfs

dont u think valve delibrately not fixing AC so they can "cooperate"with faceit to make money? Think about the money Faceit have to pay Valve in order to have players use their platform to play the game. Ask yourself how come Valve never ever truly fix the AC problem since CSGO. By that they can earn money from people who s using valve server to opencases, play prem, etc and also benifit from "copyright of CS" payment from faceit Just put ur tinfoil hat on for a minute and think about it.

What about we ditch cs2 since its unplayable and start playing cs1.6 all of us? Would be sick

bwahahah that intro hit me right in the feelings. With shity free website to record the "results" of this online mIRC pugs

what happened to the "how valve profits from faceit" video? it got removed????

the player database ( at least accounts ) it's in the order of milions. a friend of mine has level 2 and he is rank 2 million something in EU. Adding up the other regions it has milions of accounts and most likely a quarter are real

Its funny how you act like the people of our generation have never hosted a server in our lives lmao

I am at the end of my tether with MM and Premier, just smurfs and cheaters in nearly every match, it's unbearable, factor rank disparity into that too, and you've got a rage inducing mess of a game.

IRC? all seeing eye was the bomb

Title was misleading bro just yapped a lot

Honestly I'm all good with Faceit existing, I like faceit, however what I don't like is Faceit being malware, and their anticheat currently is on the same level of malware as Valorant.

Also would prefer if there were other services, and it wasn't a pure fucking monopoly, because right now that's what faceit is, I miss having ESEA and shit around... Better days...

I remember playing cod4 cb site, clan wars 5v5, you had to find game just like on faceit :D it was so good

bro PCW days were insaneeeee so much fun, but everyone lying about their skill level (or they just didnt know what they were) High skill was such a huge range, like i felt like pubstomping some games and other games were literally playing against top 20 teams

Damn really deleted my comment??
I all I said that this was just for CS2.
If we look at the whole of faceit its closer to 25million a month. Almost a million unique visits a day.

Man, those ESL ladders were great when you had a group of mates. A lot more engaging than Faceit since there were no individual ranks, just team ELO. Rising through the tables was so motivating.

Miss the old cs days

its 153,080

This is so wrong, ofc someone using leetify has a much higher probability of using faceit than the normal player.
The numbers are for sure much lower

In the first minutes I didn't realised ur french. Srryy

short answer : between 150k and 250k

Really happy about the sponso, it id great you found something that fits your ethic (especially since its seems very very strong!)

Nice vid! subbed

Posting to support. Interesting video Jeff!

Never needed a better mm in cs:go or cs2 , just a fucking working anti cheat, is the main reason why faceit what is it

the good times of admins screaming asking for your cpu_id

In NA it went like 5v5 // Ours // East // CAL-m/i Im old af ok

Reality is faceit is such a bad thing for cs overall... premier is better in most ways you ban as a group rather than a solo guy who only wants mirage.. games start quicker cause you get instantly connected. Ranking system i dont even mind that much idc if my rank shows a number from 1 -10 or 20000, as long as they actually mean that you get balanced opposition it shouldnt matter. The only good thing about faceit nowdays is an anticheat that works and thats about it

you have forgotten to mention the gather days tho. to the end of 1.6 esl had a 5v5 matchmaking service.

And I still have to wait for 8 mins to find a game... faceit god dam it

So global elite in csgo meant nothing, premier is a joke and ranked in deadlock currently has most higher elo players rather play 10mans than it. It makes me think if valve are even capable of making a good matchmaking system that satiates the desires of the more competitive players. Is high elo in dota any better?

You should have mentioned esportal which is a third party matchmaking software that was just bought by PGL, could become something

and still they cant ban griefers or smurfs. funny how every big company in gaming sucks
