If you're following a decent protocol in order to fix the bugs I have nothing to request, other than ...

- When can we expect to see tdm make it's appearance? :x
- What has twitch said about the stream lags? :x
- Will ins get a second chance? :x

1. Yes!
2. Not much, it's hard to find where it goes wrong. The most likely now is that during the time of the final either LCS goes live, or US users come online en mass.
3. As long as he doesn't grow the proper height to board planes it will be hard. We've sent him the same stuff Messi used to grow.

We've sent him the same stuff Messi used to grow.

So it's not going to work then? ;]

- Stream works fine until the semis and finals (12:30 CDT or so), rendering them unwatchable and potentially ruining the whole thing and losing a lot of viewers*

- The website is somewhat confusing, maybe there's just too many things on the same page


*I know it's a twitch issue and presumably LoL finals start at that time, but that doesn't mean the issue should be ignored.

from the top of my head:

-be better prepared for unexpected delays - have something ready that you can talk about for a couple of minutes, show a frag movie or maybe some pre-recorded interview etc
-have more frequent interviews, let players know they should be ready to come on skype for a couple of questions
-if at all possible I'd really like to see something like a 100/50/25/25 price pool, if you're getting to play a bo3 with >3000 people watching you certainly deserve a little cash for that. also more of an incentive for players to take part in the cups more frequently
-give away some goodies, make it a facebook competition if you want to
-maybe have somewhat regular special events such as a 2v2/tdm cup and announce these in good time. have them before the start of the next duel season.

that's about all I can think of right now, looking forward to see what you'll come up with :)

also, ddk says "oh my god" a tad too often lately

Never heard ddk say that, but he does say "oh my guard" alot though ;D

set lower resulotion on stream. everyone who cant watch 720p+ are just fucked.

Doesn't that take away the entire idea of high value production? Will look into ways to make lower resolutions better though.

thats not necessarily true tho. for the people who can load 720p+ at 60 fps it will look better, but the ones who are stuck at lower resulotions will have a shitmess of blur. and the advantage 720p+ has over a 480p+ at 60 fps cant be that much. twitch.tv doesnt load resulotions lower than maximum in higher fps than 30 =PP but like i said, i cant imagine 720p+ looking that much better than 480p+ in 60 fps

480p+ would be suuuuhweeeet. also 102 stream yesterday had 57sthp+ quality and it looked great and run great on a slow-ish laptop. I say it's worth lookig into

yeah, apparently twitch.tv doesnt allow framerate over 30 if you've selected resulotion below the 'Best' :/

It'll look like shit if they keep picmip 0. Everything that isn't at least 720p with a high bit rate does; Quake isn't stream friendly in that regard, at least at low picmip.

There's very little they can do without either ruining the quality of the stream at 480/720+ or resorting to high picmip to make lower quality settings more bearable.

yeah it's a vicious circle. I think that the solution is multiple high bitrate resolutions to choose from, but at the moment twitch doesn't allow it as far as I know.

he meant picmip

picmip would increase quality for lower quality options as well, but i dont think thats the best solution. i think setting a lower maxium resulotion wouldnt effect the people who are able to watch in 720p+, and at the same time allowing those who cant a much better experience.

allow people to view brackets without logging in

That's possible for a while now (just need the link to it).

- link brackets of current event in appropriate thread

:x

Statistics are not updating very often. My elo changed a lot since registration on faceit but it wasn't updated yet.

It should update a few times per day. There might be an issue because I changed your QL ID though.

As far as I can see it stopped updating 9 days ago. What was wrong with my QL ID?

1) i'd say (i did serveral times but whatevs :D) add the feature that modifies the hitcolor based on damage dealt. I want to be able to listen to some music while watching while knowing what amount of damage spam did.

2) kidnap 2GD, torture him untill he says yes, make him wear a suit and give us a 2GD+Diddy K experience. And off-camera brainstorm a little with the guy for future projects (together or whatevs), his take on what's going on there and stuff

3) if you do TDM, get Vor, Dis and his lavalamp.

For your streams: Lower caster volume and make the ingame sound higher please. In game sound really adds to the immersion. - especially since your casters tend to have to a fast pace/loud presence. :)

pm ins on IRC

We did this last week.

i know they do this in sc2... and MAYBE you can test this with a game... but casting w/ game music on? xD

no!

hell no

I would totally leave q3 music on in breaks instead of the themesongs, half of which are gay as fuck. sonic mayhem + FLA ftw









etc

this shit would totally get my juices flowing if it were playing leading up to the stream going live as well as during the breaks... not the emo shit that everyone seems to like now ("omg omg what's the name of this gay ass song guise?") old school game + new age wank don't mix motherfuckers, BRING BACK SONIC MAYHEM

why can't I plus myself FUCK IT

ok i will plus you, sonic mayhem and front line assembly rox

THIS MAN KNOWS HIS SHIT

Ask "car33m" how its done.

I will do it instead of you! :< <3 \m/

q2 soundtrack too!!!

I agree, although the FaceIt song should always be there, and the current electronic with lots of strings piece they're playing a lot is fine compared to the "Android incoming" stuff they had before.

needs to be added.

You can put your own mp3 on on background to test this :P

Maybe just put according music on when it's the last minute or 30 seconds.

Can you guys get a subscriber feature on the twitch channel at all? Maybe have prize draws for subs on stream or something?

My only complaint would be that the casting has been a bit too 'low-brow' for my tastes. While it is important to make the casting accessible to an extent, I know that ddk at least is capable of a lot more, especially in terms of analysis. It gets a bit silly when you hear 'oh my God' or 'wow, that was amazing' with every noteworthy shot. Exclamation in moderation. Zoot's been improving a lot which I like to see, I hope this continues.

I don't mean to unrespect these guys by the way, they're great dudes, but I'm not one to shy away from negative criticism.

Casting needs rapha.

Both casters have improved lots.

Sometimes ddk feels the need to talk all the time, which I think is counterproductive (starts tripping over words, sounding nervous and exhausting excitement). When he does not do this he likes to change voice tone and build up some tension which is good.

Maybe some prerecorded stuff that help beginners and intermediates one way or another.

ex. Make a weekly demo analysis of some demo thats sent in by the viewers. Choose a shorter sequence the demo and go in depth at an interesting situation for both players and discuss the best options.

Could be 1-2 minutes or so.

Good idea!

Excellent idea.

Very good one. IMO they should do that about some of the matched they streamed the previous week.
Even some openings may be very intersting. Showing the differences between players.
For example i noticed that Rapha usually tries to delay a lot the first frag and plays the opening accordingly, while a player like evil just jumps on a weapon and shoot your ass (And if that's an LG you are fucked).

That would raise a little the average knowledge of the game and would be easier to understand the depth of the game for newcomers.
I remember some very one sided openings on stream, and half of the chat blaming the spawn, but it was the player who was careless and didn't play the opening accordingly (it was the classic ZTN spawn higher in the RL room, the guy jumped towards the YA instead of hearing and then going to RA, the otherone spawned closer to the RL and owned him).

oooh! And maybe call one of the players to get his opinions on certain situations :D.

It seems that when i connect with the twitch tv android app from my cellphone the twitchtv search bar doesnt found anything with faceit/face it/faceittv/faceit.tv etc and it is not listed aswell. Is it normal or?

I find the twitch.tv android app often struggles to find streams and often struggles to play them. It also doesn't support vods. Really poor quality app.

Somehow it usually streams faceit ok-ish, but QLranks only works 10% of the time. Indeed a very poor app.

I'm not sure how the tournament format goes for now, but some of my lower tier mates have said that they just got raped in every buy-in tournament they played, at their own skill level. So maybe make a second bracket/tournament for the first-second round losers. Not quite the loser bracket.

And I still can't seem to get to withdraw moneys.

That's a really cool idea, would certainly make me a lot more motivated to participate in the daily cups.

Maybe FaceIt should have its own rating/ranking system that only counts tournament matches so people can't easily cheat QLRanks to get in low tier tournaments.

I think it's great as it is. Great casters, great stream quality. Only thing which kind of annoys me is the lag but obviously they're doing their best to fix it for everyone.

As a spectator I don't have too many complaints.

Sometimes the casters get a bit quiet-loud-quiet-loud volume wise. I find myself constantly adjusting the volume. They basically have the Joe Rogan/UFC effect going on. The excitement is good imo and this could largely be improved by leveling the audio stream a bit.

The stream often lags, both live and when trying to watch VODs. Probably Twitch's fault.

The highlight videos are awesome but way too dark a lot of the times.

You guys are doing a lot of stuff right and I've been looking forward to watching every week. It would be awesome to have a NA equivalent.

My two main complaints are: accessibility of the brackets during cups (I know it's not THAT hard, but it should be fucking easiest thing in the world and not everybody is using the new twitch layout the button in which often is linking wrong bracket anyway) and sound mixing during the show. and I don't mean casters/ingame levels, but transitions between live stuff and videos you guys put out. oh and also:

T D M
D
M

How about getting the mouse out of view when you transition into a top 5 clip ;D

It's some stupid bug we can't get fixed (yet)..

Please, please, please always end the stream with the FACEIT logo and the FACEIT song playing (kinda like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jb0MjWb8ZZo), it really ties it all together everytime :D

I really enjoyed the episodes where Fraze was providing insight into the duels.. the problem I found, ddk and the other guy were dominating the conversation during matches.. fraze would start explaining the situation and possible options the player has, to which he gets interupted with "LOOK AT THAT... blah blah blah".. completely lost Fraze and some really valuable info about ingame duel strategy - which I for one am REALLY finding difficult to find good content. Live content is a great way to teach. What I'm getting at, you should definately get more PRO players to cast more often, and when you do, more focus should be on their contribution

I really dont mind having the games shout casted, however, it would be really valuable to run 2 streams, one WITH casters, and another WITHOUT.. sometimes I find the casters are not providing anything valuable, so would prefer to just watch the game with quake sounds alone. Also, after the game, these days VODS from streams are made available rather than player demos.. watching a historical game with casting just has no affect at all. Casting is for the LIVE MOMENT.

Fraze never casted for us (he just did it with Zoot and ins once when we weren't streaming the cup).

Because the same thing wouldn't have happened if he was casting with faceit?

Oh wait, yes it would have.

- I hate when X happened.
- X never happened.
- It would have.

Looks kinda pointless to me.

Any specific reason you dont support IE?

heheheh

Any specific reason some people still use IE?

Yea well i tried switching to firefox 10 times, and everytime something fucks up, så i just cba to change now :)

[+]'d for "så i just cba to change now :)"

Haha :)

You know they update IE. You don't have to use IE 6.0. t.t

Why bother when you can just use a proper browser?

Advertise some fake quake gadgets for the lols.

Examples:

When I try to withdraw then it says I don't have enough moneys whatever I type in there.

Try to add the $ sign to it

It shouldn't work like that... these are the kind of things I'm talking about.

I never said it should work like that. I'm just trying to figure out where it goes wrong. If it works by adding the $ sign, then we know we need to remove that. If this doesn't fix it, we need to look into it further.

Nope.

I don't want to sound like a smart-ass here, but having the dollar sign as required input by the user should never have even been a considered as possible cause in the first place. It's just plain wrong! For a website such as FaceIt's, the currency sign should be strictly limited to appearing as a label (or image) client-side and should not be involved in any way what-so-ever in the serverside processing for the amount of dollas, transactions, etc.

But more importantly, having someone who is not versed in web development (*) act as a middleman between the devs and the users is only going to complicate things. I insist, I don't want to sound like a smart-ass, it's just I'm a bit of a purist in the proper methods one should follow when it comes to debugging and beta-testing. I blame my former boss :x

* I'm under the impression that you aren't versed in web development precisely because of the dollar sign suggestion. If you put forward that question by yourself, and supposing the devs are already aware that the site shouldn't and doesn't work in that way, then it's a case of the middleman that's complicating things. However, if it's actually the web developers themselves that specifically told you to ask him to check with the dollar sign, then it's their fault entirely and their dev skills are questionable :p In fact it doesn't even make any sense... surely they would have just tested it themselves anyway instead of asking you to ask rehepapp...

Whatever the case may be, as you can see, somewhere along the line something is flawed with the whole debugging protocol you are following. I strongly suggest you seek an alternative to the middleman scenario, such as setting up an easily accessible and highly visible feedback contact form on the site that is sent straight to the dev's inbox. Said form should be accessible even for people who aren't signed in or registered, and should require an email for further correspondence with the user.

This thread is a good idea, the problem is it's mixing administration / management issues and content requests (your job) with technical issues (devs job), but having direct communication with the devs, directly though the website and straight to their inbox, imo, would be better for the technical side of things, and give you more time to be the awesome admin you are :D

The reason I asked was because it did work a while ago like that. Unfortunately devs are not organized enough to get things straight into their inbox. They need lists they can check things off :)

1. always include direct link to the brackets in news post that doesnt force us to login (it did in the early cups) & then the brackets werent included in news posts since
2. maybe see if someone would be willing to shoutcast their own games in english while playing the tournie....I'm thinking av3k could be good

make a tournament where you force everybody to cast their own games so it's even for everybody!

it could be pretty awesome.
having cooller & strenx streams on at the same time when they play each other & listen to them curse each other...

Site looks good but function is still bad. Often I enter my login data, click on login and nothing happens.

I have the same problem with login when using firefox. With chromium it works just fine. With firefox, I need to press f5 after first pressing login and getting the nothing to happen.

I already use chrome :/
Thanks for the F5 tip though, works like this.

drama

lans

Start forcing servers and starting times. It should be join a server and battle, not let's start finding a server amidst the fucking tourney, then warm up, go smoking, it goes on and on. Loose administration has made TDM unwatchable. The game never starts.

Indeed, I think you guys are losing viewers because the breaks are just too frequent and too damn long.

Stream numbers keep dropping because the players are picking maps and servers for an eternity.

I think our breaks in between matches are shorter than in most events for most games.

BE BETTER.

remove cs:go add tdm and ctf )))

Add player to player money transfers.

1 remove quake, it stinks

Stren-ex?

I think you are doing a great job and are really driving competition in the duel scene.

Have you tried getting some sponsors yet? There are companies that are still interested in sponsoring Quake Live (see Corsair Saturday derby) and you get pretty good viewer numbers on streams. Plus now that you picked CS:GO it should be pretty easy, no?

kick the twitch jesters in da face

corrupt tdmpickup ppls (they are a polish guy and a czech guy iirc, so that must be easy) and let them do their thing on faceit site with all the ranking and stuff. TDMpickup is the best way to lure new blood

TDMpickup is the best way to lure new blood

I wouldn't be so sure about it considering that pub tdm is dead afaik.

pub tdm won't work because the matching system hasn't worked properly.

This is how I started playing tdm. I can't imagine a newcomer going straight to pickup games. Skill level is way too high.

It would be awesome if you guys could put up some of those sweet graphics in a larger size. They would make a pretty nice set of rotating wallpapers.

could you maybe tell ddk to show us where the follow button is? he never does and i've been looking forever, a little help would be greatly appreciated.

Suggestion: sorting list of participants by rank

roychez what is the decision on the background music? ... is there gona be any q3/ra3 glorify music next time?

... also nicejob on the 2GD part :D

Sonic Mayhem!

replicat0r

NA cups :)

Also I would love trying one cup with old 15 minute timelimit or perhaps meeting in the middle, 12 mins.

Get zsx to cast.

oooh this is a good one

Here's a suggestion for the Sunday Cups (and other one-time events too, I guess).

If you've watched The GD Studio you might know that they have this neat voting system where a UI with a poll appears on-screen (let's say with alternatives 1 & 2) and then the viewers are able to vote by simply typing 1 or 2 in the Twitch chat. The viewers are also able to follow the results via a live diagram on-stream.

This could be a good way of letting FACEIT viewers decide what game to watch pre-quarter/semifinal when there are multiple interesting games going on at the same time.

Does the twitch chat lead to an IRC channel/server? It could be bot scripted.

I know you can connect to twitch chat via irc, but other than that... duno lol

Yes. #<channel-name> @ <channel-name>.jtvirc.com (login and pass from twitch.tv acc)

You really should have someone look over the weekly info mails before you're sending them out.

For instance, this is one of the first sentences in the mail I got today:

"The first match you absolutely have to check out WAS WAS etty versus luke_ie on Campgrounds, much hilarity ensued. This match would have some "full retard" moments, but as things progressed strenx and I found it difficult TO NOT TO be charmed and soon we would be on the edges of our seats just waiting to see what would happen next."

I realize written content is not in any way your main focus/strength and neither does it have to be but since you should at least spell check the "official" mails you're sending out and try to have them flow somewhat more naturally - for starters, stop using the word "would" 3 times in every single sentence.

As these mails are written by ddk from what I can gather, he should also take some of this advice into his casting: Whilst he should by all means be allowed to express some excitement over what's happening he should definitely try mixing his expressions up a little and not get stuck on saying "oh my god" everytime something exciting happens.

These little things are rather easy to improve upon and I really think they can go a long way when it comes to being perceived as professional.

Other than that, as always, keep up the good work! :)

edit: also I wonder whether you've given some thought to having tdm and ca the same week, one 2v2 and one 4v4, and then alternating for the next week?

hoping roychez has this thread bookmarked :>

Hey,

I noticed this as well and we have changed the policy regarding the newsletters. Regarding ddk, I'll slap him for you!

480 vods guys. what's going on?

Youtube not good enough?!

youtube very good, but you weren't posting there for a long time and since you started again i didn't manage to get accustomed to the fact yet:] hence complain. of course there are people who can't watch youtube, so blah blah blah (never satisfied lol)

the twitter hyperlink in the newsletter is broken. someone forgot a "h"

you need to do something about the first rounds being bo1+se. make the whole cup bo1 except finals but double bracket. must be fun for lower level teams to sign up, get to play 1 map for 8:25 and then lose by mercylimit and then it's over for them. react before the lower level teams stop signing up and the cup just dies . this is for tdm 4v4

nicerdicer/jeesports did something similar back when they've run a lot of cups, everyone could play for their final position in the tournament, of course a lot of people wouldn't play those and forfeit, but it's still a good possibility in the daily cups

If you think luke vs etty on campgrounds was hilarious, then you should really organize a hilarious showmatch between 2 pros on.... SPACE CAMP!

Yes, you heard me right! I specced a random duel the other day on Space Camp between two 1600-1700 elo guys, and it was absolutely hilarious.

About 3-4 minutes into he game, the scoreline was -2 to -6.

It is just brutally hilarious to watch a duel on that map (especially since nobody is practiced on it). So many 'mind blowns' since the map is mirrored, it just really messes with you. Add to that all the space traps, the retarded weapons/items (proximity, BFG, Minigun, Personal Teleporter, Kamikaze, etc...) and you got yourself a good time out!

PLEASE, get a funny showmatch going between 2 pros on this map :) It could be a nice filler during the stream when there is waiting time or something... :D

I know this idea might sound lame lame. But just trust me on this one... the stream/chat will go CRAZY!

Yes Mr. Anonymous, that is a great idea!

Oh wait... im talking to myself :)

(BUMP)

Hmmm. I'd like to see that.

Not that theres anything wrong with the casters, but I'd really love to see Joe Miller as co-caster one day. :D
Or does he do a show every sunday? Don't follow other games.

maybe he has a contract, so he cant be on a different stream?

yes, bring big guest commentators like Joe, 2GD, disrepute and so on ...

boobs

I think the faceit stream config realy need cg_impactSparks 1 which is realy neat and drawgun 1 which gives a nice swaying gun that gives more sensation of movement and precision of movements.

And they could add cg_marks 1 if they think it's good, also cg_crosshairHitStyle 1 which gives informations on damages dealt with color grading.

All in all, activate the damn sexeh sparks at least.

sound, sound, sound. now i'm a wannabee audiophile scum and there's no pleasing me, but the faceit studio sounds like a well, mix is flawed and there are often sync issues with videos during breaks. there's definitely room to improve.

The top 5 sync is something with Xsplit not working accordingly :(

Have you tried using OBS instead Xsplit - http://obsproject.com/index ?

Yes, but it does not support flash yet.

ah ok

Is there no way to get 480p VODs? It'd be awesome.
Twitch's VOD server is super slow and the videos are huge. (It literally takes 2h for 30min of video, and the flash plugin is an unstable piece of crap)

You can record them while they are live.

- Game analysis video. Like this

- Get a lower skilled player on stream and critic their play.

- Cover recent news about QL, give your opinions on the matter.

- Set up a poll each stream. (e.g. Should Cure be added to map pool?)

- (Maybe) Follow a different player each week. (Cooller one week, Cypher the next and so on).
Make a video for that person earlier in the week. (Where they are from, How long have they played Quake, player Montage, interview).

im surprised noone has mentioned the map pool in this thread.

new season, new mappool of totaly new maps. thats what quake needed and still needs. without this, we wont get any new players. noone wants to play against players who played a map for 10 years.

and it gets boring to watch the same people on the same maps for years with the same outcomes. we used to get the best to battle it out a couple of times a year, so it will get boring even faster now that we can watch them every week

quake gameplay could be pushing the boundries of gaming just like extreme sports do, but we are limiting ourselfs with the maps we play on

I wanna check out the vods, but my pc is too slow to watch those 720p+ videos ...

Maybe it's not your pc but their *** flash player? Try downloading them and playing from disk.
What are your specs anyway?

- Have demos available for download.

With Cg_followKiller enabled, I just dont get to see how good players recover from being fragged & losing the map control.
So I'd very much appreciate a collection of demos from each cup (even if its playoffs only) available for download on the faceit website.

- Cast some oldschool demos.

I know you guys prefer to use your own content, on the other hand, DDK and a lot of guests make a reference every now and then to an old game from the past, mention the big names such as unkind, lexer, b100.death, zamuz etc. Itd be a great thing to start things off with an oldschool demo casted from todays perspective.

Yeah, casting some old school demos as filler content would be awesome! The nostalgia level of Z4muZ, LeXeR, uNkind and, oh my god, old cooller-demos would be through the roof!

give me the demos :D

Oh my god, I will get back to you.

People, this is your chance, fetch your favorite demo! :D

this!

proper Q&A session with somebody like rapha meibi, or some other sort of school for newbies stuff

some features for the shat. DDK's and others' emoticons, a bot with a bettink system and stuff like this

Great feedback guys. Keep it coming and we'll continue working on implementing stuff!

1/ try fixing the tearing issue by setting everything from game to broadcaster to 60fps/60hz maybe





2/ use QLRanks automatic demo uploader

Does Faceit stream CBR?

I think they use 3200kbps CBR

Where is the Cooller interview? Did you guys forget to make one, when Cooller was casting 3 weeks ago?

ISCHJU INTERVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Was done but still waiting for release

mby make Diddy K and Raffer analyze one of Raffer's games? Like they did on ESL Classic TV or whatever it was?
And with mby i mean DO IT DIDDY K!!!!!!!!

oh... And uploading the demos of the finals every Sunday if possible would be Grate :p

Here's an audio suggestion for the stream.
Currently ins' voice comes out as very thin and almost a bit
insufficient while ddk's voice comes out the complete opposite way which makes for a very unbalanced mix.

How about adding a bit more compression on ins, and maybe up the low/mids a bit (200-400Hz) to make ins come out as strong as ddk in the output mix?

or maybe ins should just be more manly

Fix the fucking stream lag already. Come on, really ...

Week after week, month after month the same exact thing. Stream is pretty much unwatchable at 720+ and this seems to be an exclusive problem of the FACEIT channel.

Currently the FACEIT stream is running at 60 fps. Could lowering it to 30 fps reduce the required bandwidth and make the stream more watchable at higher resolutions (less lags and stuttering)?

To add to this, just setting everything to 60 fps, like suggested in #156, is not enough to remove tearing, the frames also need to be synchronized from the game to the capturing/broadcasting software. Now there still is tearing, see this from the last FACEIT cup: http://imgur.com/a/rM0Hh

Ideally, I suppose, the game and the stream would be running synchronized at 30 fps, if it doesn't cause other inconveniences.

faceit isnt looking to change anything as it would defy their idea of high production broadcast

what are we supposed to be seeing from those screenshots other than you using a low p res?

That's imgur being "helpful"… the originals were taken using the source quality. Anyway, you are supposed to see this.

nothing to see there, just a bump in the path and a really weird tree

The Avermedia capture cards have this tearing! I assume they use avermedia as stermy is pretty close to the Faceit team and I know he has one of their cards.

- Try to set up Skype Calls with (semi)-pro players to cast games, should be loads of fun when Rapha could do some guest-casting.
- Run some TDM cash tournaments again, that was loads of fun and TDM is alive and kicking ass atm!
- Announce FACEIT cups earlier so people got more time to get hyped and to sign up.
- Show the bracket (more) during streams.
- Let DDK play in some TDM showmatch or something.

Where's today announcement? :(

Question for Face IT producer: WHY the hell is s_doppler 0? There is 0 emotion when a rocket passes right by your side as the player dodges it.

How about having four cups every month one for different gametype duel,ctf,tdm..lolca.

Can someone please explain to me how FaceIt "levels" work? I'm level 8 at 1600 something elo when some guys are 1800+ elo and lvl 7 or less (and they have 1500 elo on Faceit site for some reason)?

IIRC FACEIT Elo only accounts for games played in FACEIT cups, rather than all games.

Yeah but my "default" elo was basically copied from qlranks :D.

Thanks nevertheless, we'll see how it pans out after I've actually played some games in the cups.

I was playing a lvl 8 cup today and after finishing all games I came back to the faceit site, now each time I log in I get this...

I've tried two browsers so it's not a cache issue thingy, any ideas :)?

Blank Facey

Nvm it's working again.

Also, free users don't get Facey points for playing Facey point cups?

Free users should get points in Points Cups

- Needs more TDM
- Think there are to many daily cups.. Signed up a few times for TDM thursday cup, but were eventually the only one
- Sign my butt Roychezz
- Needs more coolness (ZEROQL GO CAST SOME)

(not sure if serious but)

ZeroQL casting would just cause unnecessary hate, as much as I'd love to see him casting.
The community is pretty immature in that regard.
