.@m3wsu taps away in a 1v5 clutch with just 2 HP, securing the round for his team.

In Season 9, he has converted 35% of his clutch attempts, a higher success rate than several players currently at the top of the rankings, including #1 donk (28%), #3 dem0n (33%), and #6 npl (34%)

We analyzed the most popular pistols used in over 6 million Eco rounds from Level 10 matches in Season 9.

The Deagle is bought more than twice as often as the Five-Seven, but the Five-Seven is 5% more likely to get a kill.

[FACEIT CS2 @FACEITcs]

Yesterday, we banned 2,899 accounts for platform abuse. The wave targeted accounts being prepared for sale, removed before they could be used to smurf or evade bans.

Every ban has been added to our public ban list https://t.co/L9WVxXXU0p

The number of Level 10s steadily rises with age, peaking at 26 before declining as players move into new stages of life.

Kosovo stands alone at the top of Level 10s per capita, more than double any other country.

When @_badnewseagles put Kosovo on the map with back-to-back Major runs in 2022, they may have inspired a new generation chasing the same dream.

Not everyone is comfortable changing their BIOS settings. Thank you for taking the extra steps to help reach 100% coverage across the platform and create a meaningful barrier to protect qualifiers, leaderboards, and prize money from DMA cheaters.

[FACEIT CS2 @FACEITcs]

IOMMU and VBS are now required for all FACEIT players, to disrupt channels that DMA cheats depend on.

The rollout started in April 2025, reaching 60% by October, 88% by the end of Season 7 in April, and 100% coverage from Season 9 onwards.
