The highest Elo recorded in FACEIT CS2 history now belongs to 16-year-old @MaiL09cs at 5,415, eclipsing @donk1337's previous record of 5,350 set in July 2025.

At 16 years old, 🇸🇪 @MaiL09cs returns to #1 Elo on FACEIT. 351 Elo clear of #2, 663 Elo ahead of @donk1337. Averaging 1.73 K/R, 103.7 ADR and 85% W/R over his last 20 games. With under a month left, he could become the first seasonal winner in FACEIT history to dethrone donk.

From Nov 2025, IOMMU & VBS rollout will progressively expand to more users to increase our protection against DMA cheats. The rollout began in Apr 2025, currently over 60% of FACEIT players have these enabled. Since Aug 2025, it's already been enforced for players above 3K Elo.

From the 25th of November 2025, both TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot will be required for all players. Those requirements are already enabled for more than 95% of players today on FACEIT.

We’re hosting an AMA with the FACEIT Anti-Cheat team today from 3–5 PM CEST on r/FACEITcom. Ask questions about the Anti-Cheat team, industry, and learn more about how we’re improving competitive integrity.

We've published the final rollout schedule for Windows security requirements (TPM 2.0, Secure Boot, IOMMU, VBS) to keep improving protection against cheats across matchmaking and official matches on FACEIT: https://t.co/G8fZAoZwCD

Between 2019 and 2021, five Mongolian players registered on FACEIT. Their separate journeys began in a local Mongolian hub. Six years later, they became @1mongolz, #1 in the VRS. Mongolia’s FACEIT player base has since grown by over 500% from 2023 to 2025. This is their story.

We’ve completed our integrity review of @nocriesof, following the supervised play at our New York HQ. Read the full report on our process, findings and next steps for similar cases: https://t.co/9TtdeFEkR1

118 of 120 pros (98%) at ESL Pro League S22 began in the lower @ESEA divisions. It took them nearly 10 seasons (~2.5 years) on average to reach the top. Overnight success is an illusion. The grind is the standard.

From 1-15 and 8 RWS in his first @ESEA League season to $285,000 earned and a spot among CS’s elite - @NertzCS is proof that one bad season doesn’t define a player.

Thank you @nocriesof for joining us at our New York HQ this week. His sessions are complete, and we’ll share the outcome with the community soon.

Day 1 is behind us at our New York HQ, where we’re hosting @nocriesof after he accepted our invite. Maidar is playing under supervision on hardware set up by our Anti-Cheat team, a chance to show his game in a fully controlled environment. Day 2 begins today.

Started with a deagle, ended with an ACE. @FLCkyousuke's aim speaks for itself.
