What is FACEIT and How Does it Work?

At this point, I think valve doesn’t want to fix the cheater problem because they’d lose over half of their player base

A kernel level anti-cheat has access to ALL of your OS, and kernel level programs can directly manipulate your resources to how they see fit. In Faceit's case, the anticheat does nothing but check for hacks, but, if somehow someone gains access to the anticheat, they have access to your whole PC, which is where people have issues with this type of anti-cheat. Its nothing to worry about though, unless it becomes something to worry about, like what happened with ESEA

Thank you so much for this. Straight and helpful as always!

Found your video because Overwatch just announced they're integrating with FaceIt. I don't play CSGO so I've never even heard of them. Thanks for the great explainer!

Perfect tutorial. You explained very well everything and your advices was so motiviting. Thanks for the video

Huge! I haven’t played any Faceit since CS2 release, but def will once I hit my goal of 25k in premiere. I really hope they allocate time making premier viable, idk why but I just hate the idea of having to third party MM in a game

Thanks for in-depth explanation

Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.

Thank you for making this video

Thanks for this vid. Appreciate you

This saves me tons of time bro Thanks a lots. We face so many cheaters these days :(

Thank you so goddamn much Wilson! You are always so straight forward with the subject you are talking about, and you make everything you say very, very clear. I honestly did not have any idea of what Faceit might could be before watching this video, even though I’ve been playing Counter-Strike for atleast 1k hours. But I guess the reason I didn’t know about faceit is the fact that I’m young and not really have had the time nor interest 😂- to go deep in. But thank you, now I know 🙏

Thanks for the advice, I'm an old school gamer just starting cs2, it is an awesome game, I have a lot to learn.

i remeber first playing ESEA back in 2015, I was LEM in CSGO at the time. I was really unprepared for the skill difference in MM I placed C+ but those games still give me ptsd it felt like i was fighting for my life every second but i did improve faster than i ever did playing MM

Closing in on faceit lvl 10 with your help Wilson, good video man 🤙

Ive been using the BenQ monitor for a while and the one in your video is really my fav

thanks for tutorial so hype to get faceit level 1 instantly

My main problem with faceit is that unless you have premium the games there are mirage simulators. And I personally hate mirage. The second problem for me is toxicity. I am a person who is highly affected by it. And faceit environment is much more toxic as you mentioned. From my personal experience my level of play hasn't become much higher when I started to focus on faceit games but my will to play and interest in the game fell down a lot. And then my level of play started snowballing down. All of that was during csgo times though, I haven't touched faceit since summer. Overall I don't think that faceit is a suitable playing environment for me personally.

I mean it's without the blatant cheaters, but the amount of smurfing is just atrocious. Got one guy with just 25h on his account and bro didn't even hide his hours on the profile. He actually topfragged the match, but still better than blatant cheating as soon as you win multiple rounds in a row.

Thank you for this video! I’ve always wanted to play faceit but I’m a low rank in cs, around the high silver-low gn level. I’ve seen a lot of people say to not play if you aren’t high enough rank but I’ll probably give it a try soon!
