@ me your thoughts about FACEIT Matchmaking.

@GraatPaul https://t.co/feAqrmk5Gk

Could be the most intense intro into any gaming match ever....

[Derek Janisch @FaceitDerek]

We're considering adding a sound that plays in the matchroom

1. When the connect info is ready
2. When the knife round begins

If we did this, what sounds do you think we should play for each of these?

[Derek Janisch @FaceitDerek]

@OfficialTwinkey @FACEIT_Darwin @FACEITcs At the very top level, Premium Match is by far the largest match type.

Expanding the number of locations can give you more possible players to be matched with (i.e. 5-6.)

[Derek Janisch @FaceitDerek]

@iAxessor @SwillCS Can you share the match?

[Derek Janisch @FaceitDerek]

@VECTIZZ1 @FACEIT_Darwin @FACEIT @FACEITcs The best settings to expand the pool of players we can match you with are server locations. Every location you include adds more potential players we can match you with.

If you guys can support it, I'd suggest expanding to 5-6 locations where you get a reasonable ping.

@CaneTV__ Make sure you have the latest game configuration setup in the queue.

I believe it's in the queue settings it'll say (5v5 Legacy) and select (5v5), and you will have the latest gamde mode with the new version Cache.

[Derek Janisch @FaceitDerek]

With it defaulted on, that means most matches should have Cache as an option to play on.

Do you think Cache could overtake Mirage & Dust2 for the most played map by tomorrow?

[FACEIT CS2 @FACEITcs]

The updated version of Cache is now live on FACEIT.

Cache is now selected by default in map preferences and can be deselected without needing to subscribe or change your other map bans.

[Derek Janisch @FaceitDerek]

@VECTIZZ1 @FACEIT_Darwin @FACEIT @FACEITcs Lastly, if you want to have more options of players to play with, you can pause your queue, expand your settings (i.e. add in more locations) and keep your spot in line when you requeue.

[Derek Janisch @FaceitDerek]

@VECTIZZ1 @FACEIT_Darwin @FACEIT @FACEITcs I would also suggest avoiding restarting your queue; it puts you back at the line. It's better to wait in the queue, rather than a hard restart.

[FACEIT CS2 @FACEITcs]

The updated version of Cache is now live on FACEIT.

Cache is now selected by default in map preferences and can be deselected without needing to subscribe or change your other map bans.

@Mercantio @FACEIT_Darwin The start of the season is both a reset and a placement. So you did climb through your placements, you broke through the reset, and start ahead of others who were of similiar Elo prior.

[Derek Janisch @FaceitDerek]

@tripexcsgod @guthrieecs @FACEIT_Darwin @FACEIT Our reset takes into account your past activity and also how consistent you are in your matches. Your matches before the reset were significantly worse in performance than the ones during your placements, so the system hit you a little harder than most.

[Derek Janisch @FaceitDerek]

@Muri11_CZ @FACEIT_Darwin It's because it's a soft reset into placements.

The higher you are in Elo, the more the reset affects you.

So it is possible to earn Elo from the reset + placement, but it heavily depends on how much the reset was.

[Derek Janisch @FaceitDerek]

@skrillacs @bajmiz9n You should see the Elo back now.

[Derek Janisch @FaceitDerek]

@skrillacs @bajmiz9n Hey skrilla, yeah, I can confirm those four games are in my list to be refunded.
