This Christmadseason we’re making some changes to FACEIT. Aiming to provide quicker matches, bigger rewards and more competition, here’s what’s going down…

Hub Changes

The biggest change of all will be the new look hub. We are merging the European and North American hubs to create a single global hub. From here is where all official seasons and bonus events will occur. The merger will take place on the 29th of November, and will see both all-time leader boards and member lists combined just in time for the start of the new Seasons and Events. The full schedule is available at the bottom of this post, so scroll down to check it out!

This change should hopefully ease up the matchmaking process a little, reduce current burdens on regional communities and make it a little easier for all FACEIT competitors to be paired up in balanced games at a quicker rate.

Season Changes

Seasons are changing in length, from fortnightly to month long. Each season will be worth 100,000FP – up from the 50,000FP seen before. Every player finishing in the top fifty will secure enough points for, at minimum, a limited edition secondary weapon at 1,000FP. As players progress higher up the rankings more points will be awarded, with the top player each season taking home 10,000FP.

The complete FACEIT Point breakdown for Seasons can be found below:

Placement FP Per Player Total FP 1 10,000 10,000 2 8,000 8,000 3 6,000 6,000 4 – 5 3,000 6,000 6 – 10 2,500 12,500 11 – 20 1,500 15,000 21 – 50 1,000 30,000 51 – 100 250 12,500 Total FP 100,000 100,000

Bonus Event Changes

In a similar way to Seasons, Bonus Days will be expanded, becoming Bonus Weekends. Their prize pools will also increase substantially, a total of 50,000FP for each weekend. However unlike Seasons, the competition for prizes will be a little tougher, as the new format will only pay out to the top twenty players. Once again the first place payout will be 10,000FP, and will reduce to a measly 1,000FP for anyone finishing outside the top ten.

The complete FACEIT Point breakdown for Bonus Events can be found below:

Placement FP Per Player Total FP 1 10,000 10,000 2 8,000 8,000 3 6,000 6,000 4 – 5 3,000 6,000 6 – 10 2,000 10,000 11 – 20 1,000 10,000 Total FP 50,000 50,000
