Launching Znipe Integration, Introducing FACEIT Missions Beta & Hubs Update

Product Update, 23 December 2017

Happy Holidays!

Throughout the year, the FACEIT team has been working hard to bring to life the platform that the community has been asking for. We’ve added in Verified Accounts to bring legitimacy to upcoming and professional players, implemented a Teamfinder to help form groups, retroactively returned Elo to users affected by cheats, added two-factor authentication with your security in mind, launched the FACEIT Desktop Client, brought our Client Anti-Cheat to a whole new level and many more things!

We’re only just getting started, and have a lot of amazing stuff coming in 2018 but we wanted to round 2017 out strong with Missions and the launch of the Znipe partnership!

Missions: Win games, get FACEIT !points

Over the past few months we have been testing a new feature with a very small subset of the user base: Missions. Today we are finally able to open a beta phase for this feature, adding it to a larger subset of users.

For the first time since we launched FACEIT, Premium players are now able to earn FACEIT Points directly by winning matches. Each premium member will get their own very special package of two monthly missions: complete these missions by winning the matches and get rewarded immediately!

The quicker you complete your missions, the more difficult they will become. You will get new missions with harder requirements, but better rewards.

For example, there are missions where you will need to win 10 games to get 1,000 FACEIT Points, and there are missions where you will need to win 200 games to get 100,000+ FACEIT Points. Missions will appear ’locked’’ to all users who aren’t premium yet. To unlock them, you will simply need to start a FACEIT premium subscription.

We have now begun to rollout the missions to all the current FACEIT premium users so you can expect to access them right away or in the next 48 hours.

For the time being, missions won’t be available to newly registered users yet. We will add many more changes (including expanding missions to other games) along with new missions as we collect more data in the upcoming weeks. Merry Christmas to all of you!

Znipe.tv Integration

We’re excited to announce our latest collaboration with Znipe.TV allowing you to watch all FPL CS:GO Europe matches live directly on the platform.

Addition to that, you’ll be able to tune in to every players point of view.

No need to launch up the CSGO client anymore to watch an FPL game with GOTV, and when a game has finished, you’ll be able to access the whole match in our VOD archive.

During a limited time, Znipe.tv offers a multi-stream experience, enabling you to watch multiple players POV at the same time.

Visit the FPL CSGO Europe Media page and pick up some new strategies.

Hubs Update

As you know, we have spent the last months building and improving hubs based on your feedback. While hubs haven’t been fully released yet, a lot of you already play in one of them, while a few of you had the opportunity to manage some of them. We will talk more about hubs in the new year as we properly release them, but for the time being in this release we added a few improvements that many of you asked us for.

Rank Roles & Visibility on the Presence List

You can now rank Roles in the Roles & Permissions in the Settings Page by dragging and dropping the role name. In that same page you can also decide which ones will be visible in the presence list of the hub.

If a user has several roles, the user will show up in the highest ranking visible role. Additionally, all roles (excluding member) of the player will be shown in the player card that shows up when you click on the player’s name.

If ranked properly, this should make it significantly easier for users to recognise admins or any other permission groups that may be relevant in the hub (who can play, who can manage matches, etc.).

Finally, we have started opening up hub creation to more players. If you want to discover whether you can create your own hub you can simply click on “Join / Create” in the Play or Competitions tab and select Hubs as a competition type. For any help you can check out our Hubs FAQ here.
