Europe [EU] ⚠️Scam Warning: Fake FACEIT Link Used for Malware “Bot Protection” Trap

14 Upvotes

I made a post here yesterday where we were looking for a lurker. The same day, a person contacted me. At first everything seemed normal, and he described himself as a player with experience and sent a link that looked like his FACEIT profile.

As soon as I clicked the link, I became suspicious. Normally when someone shares a FACEIT profile, a preview with an image and information appears – but that did not happen here.

After that, I made this analysis:

The first page looks like a legitimate Cloudflare security check (commonly used by real websites to block bots and suspicious traffic).

○ Then a popup appears: “BOT PROTECTION – Human Verification Required”, which asks you to:

  1. Press Win + R (opens Windows Run dialog)
  2. Paste something using Ctrl + V
  3. Press Enter

○ Legitimate websites (including FACEIT) will never ask you to open Win+R or run commands on your computer.

○ This is a well-known scam method where attackers try to trick users into executing malicious code locally.

○ If you follow these steps, it can lead to malware, account hijacking (Steam / FACEIT), or full system compromise.

Immediate Advice

○ Do NOT follow the instructions on this page. Do not paste or run anything prompted by suspicious popups.

○ Close the page immediately.

○ If you have already pasted and run any content, your computer may be compromised. You should:

○ Run a full security scan

○ Change your Steam, Faceit, and email passwords from a separate, uncompromised device.

○ Enable two-factor authentication (where possible).

○ Monitor for suspicious activity on your accounts.

His profile always shows as offline. When he adds you, he describes himself as a player and sends a link that looks like his FACEIT profile, and then he disappears.

Hey all,

As the title says we are currently looking for a reliable 6th for our lineup (Standin) - We are a bunch of fun but serious gamers and have built alot of strats/setups already in the short time we have been together

We are currently 5-1 in the league with a default loss which was out of our control, but we will not let this set back bother us and move on and smash the league! -https://www.faceit.com/en/teams/c650fe23-7613-4038-ac4a-a0e52a6ab732/leagues

You have to be atleast 2.1k ELO +

Good schedule with atleast 3-4 days a week that you can play from 18.30CEST - 21.30CEST

Ability to read strats and implement them into your game

Communicate properly as in calling out nades/steps and other things that are needed - NOT SHOUTING AAAAAAA from 1 guy faking the bombsite :P

Know how to give and take banter but once ingame we play serious but can also have a laugh.

Be able to take criticism from games/demos to improve yourself and the team

If you think you fit then feel free to add us on DISCORD NOT STEAM! and we will get back to you ASAP

thanks

Tired of losing ELO to randoms who don't call out, force-buy every round, and tilt after losing pistol? Same.

We built an active Faceit community of 400+ players across all skill levels who actually want to play proper, structured CS2 without the solo queue headache.

What we run:

  • Active 5-stacks: Lobbies running daily across all skill levels (from Level 1 up to Level 10 / 3k ELO).
  • Custom 10-Mans: Internal matches when you want a break from the ELO grind.
  • Strict Anti-Toxicity: Zero tolerance for raging or griefing—keep it competitive, but don't be a dick.

Requirements:

  • Have a working mic and make basic callouts.
  • No tilt mentality.

If you're looking for a solid group to queue with, drop me a friend request on Discord or add me on Steam and I'll send over an invite link.

North America [NA] LFT/LFP for faceit/ESEA

1 Upvotes

Hey I'm J or JL, I was lvl 9 currently unranked as I am returning from a small hiatus. I am looking for people to play faceit with to climb to 10 and if possible maybe a team for a more structured approach on the game. I currently am getting the 6 month rust off in warmup servers and prem so i would say I am closer to a lvl 7? at the moment. On my current account I have over 3k hours but actual hours are far more. My main roles that I have played before in teams have been Entry and rotator/anchor. This is mainly the roles I play in faceit too since no one likes entrying or sitting B on Mirage. Please do not interact if you are racist or homophobic. I am looking for chill but serious to win players but without the toxicity, that play regularly enough to get good games in. I am in Central time but my schedule is flexible so timing can be adjusted. If everyone is serious enough, I am very willing to dedicate the time into trying to get somewhere. Feel free to dm or leave a comment if this appeals to you or if you have any questions! If you end up adding me on steam please do send a msg so I can add you on other socials from there. Thank you for reading!

Hi everyone.

Im a 21yo student from ger, xp as IGL in german DACHCS Masters (Div3) + ESEA IM

Very flexible schedule wise.

I have a modern calling style, not too structured, not unstructured. Players have a lot of freedom while there is still a clear (multi-round) gameplan in mind (ABC Counter-Strike)
When comfortable mid-rounding is my biggest strength.

I want a long-term project(!) where everyone puts in the hours in an enviroment that promotes growth. Talent, Comms, Vibe/Atmosphere, people that are able to see things from multiple perspectives are what Im looking for.

Im currently at around 2.2k elo (2.5 before last reset and havent played too much this season) but Im used to playing at a higher level (esea IM and scrims are usually 2.7+)

Europe [EU] [LFT] FACEIT Lvl 8 | 28 | Sweden (SWE/ENG comms) | Rifler (can AWP) looking for a mature ESEA team

3 Upvotes

Hey!

I'm 28, from Sweden, currently FACEIT level 8 (peak at 1.8k Elo), and looking for a team to play organized, structured CS2 with.

I've played Counter-Strike on and off since 1.6, through CS:GO, and recently got back into it with CS2. Lately it's mostly been FACEIT, but I want to move into proper team play.

About me

  • Mainly rifling lately, but comfortable picking up the AWP or filling other roles
  • Calm and tilt-free, and I try to keep morale up when things go badly
  • I practice with purpose: aim and utility routines, VOD review, then a few FACEIT games to finish the session
  • Happy to take over IGL duties when nobody else is calling
  • Currently working on expanding my utility set and precise comms

What I'm looking for

Ideally an established team playing ESEA Open (around level 5–8/9) or something similar. I'm after people who want to improve, play tactically, and take matches seriously, without the pressure of grinding every single evening. A mature environment matters most to me.

I'd prefer joining an existing team over building one myself, but I'm open to newer teams as long as someone is handling the organization.

Availability

  • Weekdays: 20:00–23:00 (Swedish time)
  • Weekends: very flexible
  • Ideally 1–2 scheduled evenings per week

Links

Happy to jump into some games or a tryout to see if we're a good fit. Feel free to DM me!

I got sick of queuing with teammates who don't talk, refuse to trade, and give up after losing pistol round.

Instead of dealing with that headache, we run a Discord hub across Europe to get consistent stacks together every day.

  • Active 5-Stacks & Daily 10-Mans: Easy to find a full lobby whether you're Level 2 or Level 10.
  • Actual Teamplay: People who drop utility, run site executes, and communicate in English.
  • Zero Ego / No Flame: Banter is fine, but anyone who screams or tilts gets kicked immediately.

All you need is a working mic, basic map callouts, and the ability to stay chill when a game gets tough.

North America [NA] [LFP 25+] [Central] Rank 5 player Looking for serious but mature Chill Players

0 Upvotes

Stolen from a u/memphisreign post from a year ago because it was so perfect

This season of FACEIT has been rough and I've recently fallen from Rank 8 to Rank 5 and I'm looking to make a change. I love the challenge of CS2 but the older I've gotten the more finding people to play with has become challenging. I’m looking for other players in the FACEIT rank 5-7 range who actually want to improve, play structured CS, and treat the game with intention, but without the ego, tilt, or toxicity that usually comes with it.

What I’m looking for:

  • People to queue Faceit with from North America, ideally Central U.S
  • Times around 5pm - 8pm CT on weekdays and flexible on weekends
  • Players who are competitive but grounded. no raging, no toxicity, no ego
  • Open to feedback, team-focused, and actively trying to improve.
  • No tolerance for racism, toxicity, or edgy behavior. Just be a decent human being.
  • Preferably other 25+ players, or anyone with a mature and respectful mindset.
  • FACEIT rating somewhere in the 5 – 7 range — not hard limits, just looking for players in that general tier. I've recently slumped from rank 8 down to rank 5 and I want to build back with like-minded individuals.

What I bring:

  • Calm, communicative teammate who plays to win but keeps things constructive.
  • Willing to review demos, practice, and improve long-term.
  • Focused during rounds, relaxed between them.
