1v1 Aim Maps & New Shop

Product Update 24 March 2017

Hi guys,

Here we go with another update. In the past couple of weeks we have been working really hard on delivering on the feedbacks you gave us. While the last two updates saw us releasing the Elo revert and the post ban feedback as requested, today we are testing something that came up in quite a few of the surveys you completed: 1v1 aim maps in CS:GO.

Additionally there is a ton of bug fixing and tweaks that are not directly visible to users and that we won’t comment about here that should improve user experience quite a bit and that will allow us to release some of the things you have been asking for in the next few weeks. See the full update below…

Aim Maps Beta Testing

This weekend, we’re running a special event for our Premium users; 1v1 Aim for CS:GO! This is a beta test and has the potential to grow, however; we wanted to start this on a smaller scale to be able to test the game mode on FACEIT — hence the focus on premium/unlimited users. If you’re wondering, don’t worry; this queue will not affect your Elo.

Given that we are beta testing this, it’s possible you may run into a bug or two during your playtime. If you do, we’d appreciate you filling out this form with as much information as you can provide.

Our new, more sleek Shop interface

Improved Shop Experience

We’ve made some visual updates to our Shop system to help improve the quality of life of our players. Fundamentally, the Shop is remaining the same, but the look and feel has been updated to help improve navigation and simplify the process. Check it out for yourself!

Other / Misc:

Upgraded the room chat service to increase reliability

Changed the match found events limiting the amount of information sent to reduce its size and fix a bug with large match rooms not receiving the event

Increased the teamfinder posts expiry from 15 to 30 days

General tweaks to the Elo / points revert system

Added email notifications to users that had reported someone when he gets banned (in addition to the online notifications)

Hope you enjoyed the update. See you on FACEIT!
